1. APPEAL ZBA190049 – APPROVED WITH CONDITIONS
Address: 710 W. Mulberry Street
Owner/Petitioner: Jesse Struckhoff
Zoning District: N-C-M
Code Section: 4.8(E)(3)
Project Description:
The variance request is to allow an attached carport to encroach 14.5 feet into the required 15-foot
rear-yard setback.
Staff Presentation:
Beals showed slides relevant to the appeal and discussed the variance request, noting the north
property line is the rear yard setback which is required to be 15 feet. He stated the request is to build
ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS
MEETING MINUTES
Zoning Board of Appeals Page 2 January 9, 2020
a carport over an existing driveway that would extend the full length of the house and encroach 14.5
feet into the 15-foot setback. He noted an existing accessory structure exists.
Shields asked if it is known when the accessory garage structure was built. Beals replied in the
negative.
Applicant Presentation:
Jesse Struckhoff, 710 W Mulberry Street, stated there is a common wall shared with the neighbor to
the east in the accessory garage building. He noted the house is 14 feet, 8 inches off the property
line and stated there are not a lot of options with such a small lot.
Lawton asked if there are two garage entrances in the existing accessory structure. Mr. Struckhoff
replied in the affirmative and stated he has access to a one-car garage off Mulberry and his neighbor
to the east has access to the other part. He stated the raised floor of the building makes it impossible
to drive into.
Stockover asked if the elevation of any part of the building is changing as part of Mr. Struckhoff's
remodel. Mr. Struckhoff replied in the negative and stated the building footprint and height will remain
the same.
Shields asked Mr. Struckhoff if he knew when the accessory structure was built. Mr. Struckhoff
replied the house was built in 1933 and he was unsure if the structure was built then or later.
Stockover asked Mr. Struckhoff if he has talked to his neighbor across the fence. Mr. Struckhoff
replied in the affirmative and stated the neighbor is not opposed. He noted he will be replacing the
shared fence as part of his remodel and stated the neighbor will not be able to see the carport
structure.
Lawton asked if the carport is only coverage for a car. Mr. Struckhoff replied in the affirmative.
Stockover asked if the carport will be enclosed parallel to the fence. Mr. Struckhoff replied it will be
open and the new fence will be about 6 feet high.
Audience Participation: None.
Board Discussion:
Stockover stated the proposed carport is excessive, long, and right up against the fence; however, it
does seem relatively minor in his opinion and the affected neighbor does not mind. He stated the roof
of the house will be more visible than the roof of the carport.
Lawton commented on the fact that this is on the north side of the property noting there will be
significant amounts of snow on the carport's roof for some time; therefore, abatement for runoff will be
important. He suggested there could be other parking capabilities in the shared garage and stated
doing this for convenience does not seem to be enough of a reason to grant a variance.
Shuff stated the lot does provide a hardship; however, he expressed concern about the proposed
close distance to the property line. He agreed the visibility of the structure will be limited but
expressed concern about setting a precedent with the large exception to the setback.
Stockover stated each variance request stands on its own and noted there is already an existing non-
conforming setback.
LaMastra asked about the existing garage floor elevation issue. Mr. Struckhoff replied the original
floor was wood, but it is now concrete. The door opening is about 7 feet wide and is too small to fit a
modern vehicle. He also noted all materials used would be fire rated per building codes.
Shields stated the proposal is low impact in the context of the neighboring property, though it is closer
to the property line that he would prefer.
Meyer stated the small lot size does provide a hardship; however, there is already a garage/shop on
the property and he is not convinced it cannot be transformed into a functional garage. He also noted
the proposed carport is the same width as the shop.
McCoy stated this is not objectionable as the garage of the property to the east is right on the
property line and the existing structure will block the carport from view of the property to the north,
LaMastra stated the lot is obviously very tight which does create a hardship. She also noted
converting the existing shop into a garage would create the need for another structure to house the
shop items. She stated one could not build another structure on the lot without encroaching into
setbacks somewhere. She stated her biggest concern is snow and rain runoff for the adjacent
Zoning Board of Appeals Page 3 January 9, 2020
property and stated gutters should be appropriately sized and covered. She stated she would
support the request.
Stockover agreed with LaMastra regarding gutter needs. LaMastra stated there may need to be 2
drain spouts and a drain pan along the fence.
Lawton commented on the applicant's ability to place a carport on the patio area. Stockover stated
that would not be an improvement as it would make the entire lot concrete.
Boardmember LaMastra made a motion, seconded by Stockover, to approve Appeal
ZBA190049 to allow an attached carport to encroach 14.5 feet into the required 15-foot rear
yard setback finding that there is a hardship on the lot which would not allow covered parking
elsewhere, and that this is nominal an inconsequential in the context of the adjoining lots
given their accessory structures that are close to the property line as well, that the variance
will further advance the purposes of the Land Use Code, and with conditions that the
applicant provide covered, 6-inch gutters and a drain pan running along the sides of the
driveway to limit any drainage issues with the adjoining lot.
Stockover noted there is also no neighborhood opposition.
Yeas: Meyer, LaMastra, Shields, McCoy and Stockover. Nays: Shuff and Lawton.
THE MOTION CARRIED.
2. APPEAL ZBA190050 – DENIED
Address: 224 W. Harmony Road
Owner: Moreland Properties LLC
Petitioner: Mark Bruder, Schlosser Signs
Zoning District: C-G
Code Section: 3.8.7.2 (G) Table (G)(2)
Project Description:
This is a variance request to install a 12-foot-tall free-standing sign encroaching 11 feet into the
required 15-foot setback from the public right-of-way.
Staff Presentation:
Beals showed slides relevant to the appeal and discussed the variance request, noting the property
has been recently redeveloped as a car dealership. In the development process, there was an
original setback, then public right-of-way was placed for a sidewalk and the new property line moved
in further. Beals noted a sign permit was approved for the proposed sign to be at this location which
would have met the setback prior to the change for the sidewalk. The newly proposed sign is in a
different location and its height does not meet setback requirement. Beals discussed the existing
permitted signs and provided an illustration of the proposed sign which has a significant base that
could be shortened to meet code.
Lawton asked what height would be acceptable. Beals replied a 7-foot sign would be acceptable for
a sign zero to five feet from the property line.
Applicant Presentation:
Brian Burn, Schlosser Signs, stated the original location of the sign will no longer work due to the
installation of a water control valve and inability to dig in the area. He stated the sign has already
been built at a cost of $26,000 and not allowing its installation would be a hardship for the car
dealership.
LaMastra asked if the water valve was indicated on the plans reviewed by Schlosser Signs. Mr. Burn
replied in the negative and stated he was not made aware of the valve until he arrived to install the
sign.
Shields asked about the material used in the base of the sign. Mr. Burn replied it is 1/8-inch
aluminum with 4 by 4 steel tubes on either side.
Audience Participation: None.
Board Discussion:
LaMastra stated she sites signs and utilities should all be on the plans as signs require footings to be
dug. She stated the error here seems to be a self-imposed hardship; therefore, she would not
support the requested variance.
Zoning Board of Appeals Page 4 January 9, 2020
Stockover stated it is obvious the location is a Jeep dealership and the base of the sign could be
shortened.
LaMastra stated the new location for the sign is better than the original for northbound and
southbound traffic.
Boardmember Stockover made a motion, seconded by LaMastra, to deny Appeal ZBA190050
for the following reasons: insufficient evidence has been provided to determine that the
proposal is not detrimental to the public good, insufficient evidence has been provided to
establish a unique hardship to property that would prevent a design to be in compliance with
the standard as it appears the sign base can be reduced in height, and insufficient evidence
has been provided to show how the proposal supports the standards in a way equal to or
better than a complying proposal.
Yeas: Meyer, LaMastra, Shuff, Shields, McCoy, Lawton and Stockover. Nays: none.
THE MOTION CARRIED.
3. APPEAL ZBA190051 – APPROVED
Address: 1418 West Oak Street
Owner: Barbara Hoehn
Petitioner: Jeff Gaines, HighCraft Builders
Zoning District: N-C-L
Code Section: 4.7(D)(2)(a)3.; 4.7(F)(1)(e),
Project Description:
This is a request to build an accessory structure that will include both a garage and habitable space
and requires two variances. The first variance is to allow an additional 503 square feet of floor area
to the lot when the maximum floor area allowance is 4,525 square feet. The second variance is to
allow a 2-story accessory structure when only a 1 1/2 story is permitted. Code requires 40% of the
floor area of the "2nd story" should have a ceiling height of less than 5 feet. This proposal would
have 0% under 5 feet.
Staff Presentation:
Beals showed slides relevant to the appeal and discussed the variance request and code
requirements for the property. He noted the existing primary structure already exceeds the allotted
floor area for the lot. He detailed the proposed structure and showed photos of existing accessory
structures in the area.
Shuff asked about the diagram showing the 12-foot eave height. Beals confirmed the measurement
occurs from the intersection of the wall and eave.
Beals clarified none of the second story of the proposed building counts as floor area as the ceiling
height is less than 7.5 feet. It does count as habitable space, however.
Applicant Presentation:
Jeff Gaines, HighCraft Builders, stated this structure is intended to replace the previously demolished
garage, which was about 465 square feet. He detailed the proposed design of the structure noting it
includes an interior stairway. He stated several factors support the proposed 600 square foot
footprint of the new structure being nominal and inconsequential in the context of the neighborhood,
including the fact that the lot will remain fairly open.
He discussed the half-story definition and proposed second story. He stated the overall bulk of the
building is equivalent to or less than the half-story envelope especially considering the additional
dormers allowed in the zone.
Mr. Gaines noted the setbacks around the structure are generous to reduce potential looming and
provide buffering. He showed photos of a similar structure in the NCL zone.
Barbara Hoehn stated she has lived at this house for 40 years and is making these improvements to
modernize the property. She stated her goal is to make the structure match the house with a hip roof
rather than a gabled roof. She discussed the history of the house and noted the previous garage was
built for Model T's.
Lawton asked if the upper level will have facilities and normal plumbing. Ms. Hoehn replied it is to be
unfinished and will not be habitable, though there will be a bathroom.
Zoning Board of Appeals Page 5 January 9, 2020
Audience Participation:
Beals noted the Board did receive three pieces of written communication.
Jack Coman stated he lives directly across the alley from this property and he and his wife do have
some significant concerns about the proposed structure. He stated he is confused as to what the
building actually is. He stated the size of the building is out of character with the neighborhood and
there is no need for it to include habitable space. He stated an artist's studio could be built with far
less square footage and he expressed concern about the building obliterating his view.
Beals stated this is considered an accessory building with habitable space, which means the building
has water and/or sewer to it. It is not defined as a dwelling unit, just habitable space for the use of
the primary building's owner. A cooking appliance would be required to make the space be
considered a dwelling unit, and that would go before a different decision maker.
Board Discussion:
Shuff stated the floor area ratio of just the house is about 31%, and with the garage would be about
35%. He noted the lot is quite large and a floor area ratio increase may be justified.
LaMastra stated the issue of including the additional habitable space is fueling the problem for the 2nd
request. She stated the proposed design is better for the neighbors than a structure with a gabled
roof that meets code requirements. She stated the 5% increase in floor area is nominal and
inconsequential given the size of the lot and large setbacks.
Lawton agreed the setbacks are helpful
Stockover asked if the owner is renting out rooms in the home. Beals replied multi-family standards
come into play when there are more than two dwelling units. He stated there is a question as to the
number of dwelling units in the primary building based on the number of kitchens and entrances;
therefore, the Chief Building Official has provided a notice of violation to the property owner on that
issue. Parking requirements for multi-family would not apply unless the property was reclassified as
multi-family; however, this zone district does not allow duplexes, only single-family and a carriage
house.
Stockover asked if the carriage house could become a short-term rental. Beals replied the property
would need to go through the short-term rental licensing process and this zone district only allows
primary short-term rentals which means the owner lives on the property, and the structure would need
to be permitted for occupancy. He stated the property would be meeting the requirements for short-
term rental parking as those requirements are the same as for single-family residences.
LaMastra noted the concerns related to the primary residence are outside the purview of the Board.
She asked if porte cocheres count as floor area. Beals replied in the affirmative. Mr. Gaines stated
his square footage measurement did not include the porte cochere noting it is relatively shallow.
Meyer stated this would be an easier decision if the structure were a single-story garage with a
hipped roof. However, he expressed concern about the second variance request.
LaMastra noted the lot is quite large with massive setbacks.
McCoy agreed and stated the first variance seems inconsequential as this is replacing a previously
existing structure. He stated he sympathizes with the neighborhood, but the design is good and he
would support both variances.
LaMastra discussed the proposal as being contextually appropriate for the architecture of the existing
home, however, it seems not to be contextually in line with the other existing structures, and it is still
3-feet lower than what is allowed by code if a gabled roof were used.
Shields stated this structure is equal to or better than what could be built.
Boardmember Shuff made a motion, seconded by McCoy, to approve the first variance to
allow an additional 503 square feet of floor area for Appeal ZBA190051 for the following
reasons: the variance request is not detrimental to the public good, there was previous
accessory building in this location, and the new accessory building will meet the required
setbacks; therefore, the variance request will not diverge from the standards but in a nominal
and inconsequential way when considered in the context of the neighborhood and will
continue to advance the purpose of the Land Use Code as contained in Section 1.2.2.
Yeas: Meyer, LaMastra, Shuff, Shields, McCoy, Lawton and Stockover. Nays: none.
Zoning Board of Appeals Page 6 January 9, 2020
Shields stated the proposal is equal to or better than a complying proposal from a massing
perspective. Shuff agreed but stated properties with multiple variances do place additional stress on
adjacent properties.
Stockover asked if the Board could condition the approval to ensure the space can never be
habitable. VanHall advised against mixing codes as there would be a separate process and decision
maker for a short-term rental.
Stockover noted that is the main concern of neighbors and stated it would be prudent for the Board to
express that it would not recommend the property be allowed to be a short-term rental.
Stockover asked if the neighborhood receives notice when a short-term rental is being considered.
Beals replied in the negative.
Shuff stated the Board cannot make a decision based on whether that would occur in the future. He
also stated he does not believe short-term rentals are allowed in this zone. Beals confirmed new
short-term rentals are not allowed in this zone district.
Boardmember LaMastra made a motion, seconded by Stockover, to approve the second
variance request for Appeal ZBA190051 to allow a 2-story accessory structure, finding that the
request is equal to or better than a complying plan, as presented and designed, in the context
of lot architecture and the block, and that that the overall structure is three feet lower than
height than what is allowed by code; therefore the plan promotes the general purpose and
standard as a compliant proposal.
Yeas: Meyer, LaMastra, Shuff, Shields, McCoy, Lawton and Stockover. Nays: none

4. APPEAL ZBA190052 – APPROVED
Address: 132 Bryan Avenue
Owner: Holly E Field Trust
Petitioner: Holly Field
Zoning District: N-C-L
Code Section: 4.7(E)(2)
Project Description:
The variance request is to allow a covered porch to encroach 2 feet into the required 15-foot front
yard setback.
Staff Presentation:
Beals showed slides relevant to the appeal and discussed the variance request, noting there is an
existing covered stoop. He stated the proposed porch is open on three sides and is completely
covered by a roof.
Applicant Presentation:
Tom Canible, builder for the project, stated the home two doors to the north has a porch with a 2-foot
encroachment as well.
Audience Participation: Beals stated he received one phone call from real estate agent asking
about the request, but he heard nothing further upon providing him with the information.
Board Discussion:
Shuff stated this is not detrimental to the public good and is inconsequential given contextual
setbacks.
Boardmember LaMastra made a motion, seconded by Lawton, to approve Appeal ZBA190052
for the following reasons: the variance is not detrimental to public good, the proposed porch
is open on three sides, and the public sidewalk is further from the front property line providing
additional setback; therefore, the variance request will not diverge from the standards but in a
nominal and inconsequential way when considered in the context of the neighborhood and
will continue to advance the purpose of the Land Use Code as contained in Section 1.2.2.
Yeas: Meyer, LaMastra, Shuff, Shields, McCoy, Lawton and Stockover. Nays: none.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Address: 616 West Street
Owner: Susan Opdahl
Petitioner: Casey Opdahl
Zoning District: N-C-M
Code Section: 4.8(E)(2), 4.8(F)(1)(c)
Variance Request:
This a request for a proposed 600 square foot detached garage to be placed 22 feet in front of the primary
structure. The required placement of an accessory structure is 10 feet behind the primary building.
COMMENTS:
1. UBackground:U
The primary building on this property was constructed in approximately in 1931. This was annexed as part
of the Capital Hill annexation.
The property abuts a ditch. This ditch has resulted in a unique shaped parcel that is shallow in depth. The
primary building was placed on the parcel in where there is the greatest depth.
In general, the standards of the N-C-M zone district are to promote and preserve the character of the
neighborhood. This neighborhood developed in time when accessory structures for vehicles were less
common than present time. As a result, the primary building tends to be the prominent feature along a block
face and vehicle doors behind the primary structure or facing an alley.
2. UApplicant’s statement of justification:U See petitioner’s letter.
3. UStaff Conclusion and Findings:U
Under Section 2.10.2(H), staff recommends approval and finds that:
• The variance is not detrimental to the public good.
• The east property line is uniquely defined by the ditch.
• The primary structure limits the placement of any accessory structure.
• There is not an alley for the garage to access from.
Therefore, the variance request may be granted due to a hardship of the lot not caused by the applicant and
a strict application of the code results in a practical difficulty upon the applicant.
4. URecommendation:
Staff recommends approval of APPEAL ZBA200001.
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

12th January 2019
The Zoning Board of Appeals
City of Ft. Collins Zoning Department
City of Ft. Collins
To Whom it May Concern,
We are seeking a variance to the Land Use Code for the property at 616 West
Street in order to build a 20 ft by 30 ft, 600 square-foot garage. The property
is zoned Neighborhood Conservation, Medium Density District (NCM), and the
specific variances requested involve LUC 4.8(E)(2) regarding front yard
setbacks, and LUC 4.8(F)(1)(c) regarding additional front setbacks for accessory
buildings.
The property at 616 West Street is bounded on the south and east by Arthur
Canal, and to the north by the adjoining property. This creates a wide,
triangular lot which becomes excessively shallow toward the southern end.
This distinctive lot shape and the LUC setback requirements combine to
create what we feel is a hardship, unique to this property.
We would like to build a garage which meets the following criteria: we would
like to maintain a specific front-yard space, currently dedicated to gardens; we
would like to maintain a large contiguous space on the south side of the lot to
act as a rear yard; we would like to avoid demolition of the currently existing
shed on the property; and we would like the garage to be spatially distinct
from the other buildings on the property, to avoid an overly ‘clustered’ feeling.
There is currently nowhere on the lot that would meet those criteria while
avoiding encroaching on the Arthur Canal easement and also meeting Land
Use Code requirements. The best candidate location is between the existing
shed and West Street. This would place the garage forward of the front of the
house and so require a variance with regards to LUC 4.8(F)(1)(c); and to
maintain a reasonable distance between the existing shed and the proposed
garage we would need to encroach the front setback by 7 feet, placing the
garage 8 feet from the current fenceline, necessitating a variance with regards
to LUC 4.8(E)(2). (We are assuming the current fenceline is a good
approximation of the property line). The northern wall of the garage would be
61 feet from the northern border of the property.
The view from 615 West Street, looking east
Placing a 20 ft by 30 ft garage 61 feet from the northern edge would place the
southern side of the garage at the silver poplars (middle right side of the
photo). There would be about 82 feet to the southern corner of the property,
and about 22 feet from the corner of the garage to the fire hydrant. (Note the
hydrant can be seen at the far right.)
The view from 619 West Street, looking east
These three clusters of elms and the lilacs will need to be removed. The
midpoint of the second and third cluster is a close approximation to 61 feet
from the northern edge.
The upright stake on the lower right side of the photo indicates a point 28 feet
from the front fence line and 61 feet from the northern property edge. This is
where the NE corner of the garage will be if the variance is granted. The stake
on the left is 35 feet from the front fence, or where a 20 ft deep garage with a
proper 15 foot setback would have its north-east corner. This would be much
too close to the existing shed; a garage placed here would likely require the
shed to be demolished. Allowing the garage to encroach 7 feet into the front
setback would give enough room between the buildings (about 15 feet) to
avoid an overly ‘clustered’ feeling.
Because of the combination of LUC required setbacks and the particular
shape of the property, denial of this variance means a detached accessory
building is likely impossible. The majority of our neighbors have garage space.
We feel this is enough to constitute an undue hardship which is unique to our
property.
Thank you for considering our request.
Sincerely,
Casey Opdahl

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Address: 1800 W. Mountain Ave.
Owner/Petitioner: Justine Reed
Zoning District: N-C-L
Code Section: 4.7.D(2)(a)1.; 4.7.D(3); 4.7.E(3); and 4.7.E(4)
Variance Request:
The request is for a variance to construct an attached 240 square foot garage to the existing single-family home.
The proposed garage encroaches 3.6 inches into the 15 foot side setback on Frey; and 1.1 feet into the 15 foot
rear setback. Additionally, the property exceeds the overall allowable floor area of 1859 square feet by 16
square feet, the entire proposed garage would be an increase over the allowable floor area, as well as
exceeding the rear half allowable square footage of 581 square feet by 488 square feet
COMMENTS:
1. UBackground:U
The property was part of the Frey plat in 1924 and then later annexed into the City in 1967. The primary
structure was built approximately in 1910; it is unclear the alterations that have been completed since then.
In general, the standards of the N-C-L zone district are to promote and preserve the character of the
neighborhood. Setback standards also provide safety and privacy.
The property was part of a lot that extended to the alley. In time this original lot was subdivided into two
parcels. The primary house, on the north parcel of this subdivision, was built in 1900.
2. UApplicant’s statement of justification:U See petitioner’s letter.
3. UStaff Conclusion and Findings:U
Under Section 2.10.2(H), staff recommends approval and finds that:
• The variance is not detrimental to the public good.
• The property does not have alley access.
• The shared property line on the north is only a 5ft setback.
• The addition is 1 story and 1 vehicle in size.
• The small parcel was created before it was annexed into the City.
• The subdivided parcel is shallow in depth.
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 as contained in Section 1.2.2
4. URecommendation:
Staff recommends approval of APPEAL ZBA200002.

Variance Request:
The request is for a variance for a rear deck encroaching 4 feet 4 inches into the required 15 foot rear-yard
setback.
COMMENTS:
1. UBackground:U
The property is part of the Lakeview subdivision that was approved in 2004. This subdivision platted 42 new
single family detached lots with tracts of open space and private streets.
The subject property shares the rear property line with a tract that is dedicated as a utility/drainage
easement. This easement prevents other structures from being built on the tract. The tract is extending
approximately 100ft to the south property line.
In general setback standards are to preserve and promote the character of a neighborhood while also
ensuring safety and privacy.
2. UApplicant’s statement of justification:U See petitioner’s letter.
3. UStaff Conclusion and Findings:U
Under Section 2.10.2(H), staff recommends approval and finds that:
• The variance is not detrimental to the public good.
• The rear property line is not shared by another residential lot.
• There is over a 100ft space between the proposed deck and a building to the south.
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

Zoning Variance Request Written Statement
We are applying for a zoning variance at the address of 1233 Zinnia Way. Currently there is a
15’ rear setback and the house is constructed at 15’8” off of the rear property line. The rear side
(Southside) of the property is adjacent to a green belt/water retention native grass area. The
grade in the backyard has a generous slope to the south toward the green belt, which is why a
deck is the best solution to accommodate a small 11’x27’ outdoor space. By modifying the 15’
rear setback to 10’ or 8’ it would allow for the homeowner to have a reasonable and functional
outdoor space for the family to enjoy. With the adjacent rear green belt and not having any
immediate rear neighbors, reducing the set back would be inconsequential when considered in
the context of the neighborhood.

Subject: Appeal ZBA200003
Melanie and I are happy to approve of this variation. I have met with the Gordon's
and they have explained the issue. There should be no problem, as their nearest
backyard neighbors are a city block south, and the view is blocked by trees on city
property. Rarely do people go into the retaining pond behind their house (usually
kids or dog walkers), and if they do, they are 8 to 10 feet below the grade of the
Gordon home, so there is no way this structure will block the view of anything.
Our backyards are all extremely small, and we have to be able to make the best use
possible with what little yard we do have without annoying the neighbors. There is
no way this will affect us,
Sincerely,
Fred and Melanie Rosa

Address: 120 Buckeye St.
Owner: Mike & Nora Carolan
Petitioner: Bill Fraser
Zoning District: N-C-L
Code Section: 4.7(D)(3) and 4.7(E)(3)
Variance Request:
This is a request for a variance to re-build and expand an existing attached garage. The new garage addition
will be 648 square feet and encroach 7 feet into the rear-yard setback and exceed the allowable floor area in the
rear half by 446 square feet. The maximum floor area is 1312 square feet.
COMMENTS:
1. UBackground:U
This property is part of the LC Moores subdivision that was recorded in 1921. It later annexed into the City
in 1925. The primary building originally was constructed in 1923; it is unclear the number of alterations that
have occurred since original construction.
The property is a corner lot. It fronts onto both Remington Street and Buckeye street. No other residential
building fronts onto this portion of Buckeye street. To the west of the property on the other side of the alley
is a commercial building and to the south is the CSU Annual Flower Trial Garden.
The north property line is shared with another residential lot. The north abutting property fronts onto
Remington street. The shared property line between the subject property and the north residential property
has two different setback requirements. For the north property it is a 5ft side-yard setback and the subject
property it is a 15ft rear-yard setback.
The original lot size has remained intact to the present day. Currently there is an existing attached garage
that is encroaching the same distance as the proposed addition.
In general floor area and setback requirements are to promote and preserve the character of the
neighborhood and ensure safety and privacy.
2. UApplicant’s statement of justification:U See petitioner’s letter.
3. UStaff Conclusion and Findings:U
Under Section 2.10.2(H), staff recommends approval and finds that:
• The variance is not detrimental to the public good.
• The lot fronts onto Buckeye Street resulting in a shallow depth.
• The proposed floor area does not exceed the allowable floor area for the lot.
• The new attached garage extends the length of the existing encroachment 11ft.
• The abutting north property is required a 5ft setback.
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 as contained in Section 1.2.2.

Petitioner: Anthony Baietti
Zoning District: N-C-L
Code Section: 4.7.E(4)
Variance Request:
This request is for a variance to build a porch encroaching approximately 3 feet into the required 15 foot street-
side setback.
COMMENTS:
1. UBackground:U
The property was platted and annexed as part of the Kenwood heights subdivision in 1924. The original
structure was built in 1941. It is unclear the number of alterations that may have occurred since that time.
The property is a corner lot and fronts on to both W Mulberry Street and Gordon Street. There is no
sidewalk along Gordon street and the property line is at least 11ft behind the back of the curb. Setback
requirements are measured from the property line.
2. UApplicant’s statement of justification:U See petitioner’s letter.
3. UStaff Conclusion and Findings:U
Under Section 2.10.2(H), staff recommends approval and finds that:
• The variance is not detrimental to the public good.
• The porch is open on three sides.
• There is 11ft of landscape area from the property to the curb.
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 as contained in Section 1.2.2.

MEMO
UREASONING FOR REQUEST FOR VARIANCE FROM THE LAND USE CODE
Re. U926 W Mulberry St
UFort Collins, CO 80521
January 14, 2020
Zoning Board of Appeals,
We respectfully request a variance to extend a new deck, deck roof, and
required concrete piers approximately 3’ into the property setback for the
reasons stated below.
1 & 3. Hardship & Nominal, inconsequential way:
The west side of the existing home, at 926 W Mulberry St, sits back 18’
from the property line, as shown in the provided drawings. The setback
on the west side of the home is 15’. The owners would like to replace the
existing deck with a new deck of 6’ in depth, resulting in a 3’
encroachment into the setback.
In addition, per the provided drawings, the owners would like to have a
roof over a portion of the deck where there is to be a new west facing
access, and it too is requested to extend approximately 3’ into the
setback. As drawn, it would cover about 12’ in length of the deck, and it
adds substantially to the aesthetics of the home.
There currently exists a deck that wraps around the home that is
substantially deeper (10’-12’, see as-built drawings) than the new,
requested deck, so we don’t believe that this will raise any objections or
concerns with the neighbors. Additionally, the new deck (and house
remodel!) will be substantially more appealing than the existing, and will
fit nicely into the neighborhood.
In closing, the owners have grown accustomed to using the existing deck,
and they don’t want to lose that amenity. They have made, and are
continuing to make, vast improvements to the property, with the deck

ZBA200006
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Address: 1214 Mountain Home Dr.
Owner: Gerald & Amy Esch
Petitioner: John Baker
Zoning District: U-E
Code Section: 3.5.2(F)
Variance Request:
This is a request for the garage to be forward of the front façade of the living area by 8 feet. The code requires
street-facing garage doors to be recessed behind either the front façade of the ground floor living area or a
covered front porch by at least 4 feet.
COMMENTS:
1. UBackground:U
The property is part of the Lemay Avenue Estates subdivision that the City approved in 2006. This
development approved 55 residential single-family detached lots. These lots are each at least .5 acre in
size. There are two cul-de-sacs in the subdivision and all the other lots on these cul-de-sacs have built out.
In general, the garage standards are to create and preserve a character of a neighborhood and promote
safe pedestrian connections from homes to the public sidewalk. There are different design options that
have been used to achieve this standard in the subdivision.
• The side loaded garage,
• A recessed garage behind a front covered porch,
• A recessed garage behind a wall of the house.
2. UApplicant’s statement of justification:U See petitioner’s letter.
3. UStaff Conclusion and Findings:U
Under Section 2.10.2(H), staff recommends denial and finds that:
• The standard requires a 4ft setback and the request does not propose any setback.
• The proposed design places the garage closer to the public sidewalk.
• The proposed design causes the front entry to be recessed from garage doors opposite of the
standard.
• Insufficient evidence has been provided in establishing a unique hardship to the property, as other
cul-de-sac lots in the subdivision do comply with the standard.
• Insufficient evidence has been provided in showing how the proposal supports the standards in
a way equally well or better than a proposal that complies with the standard.
4. URecommendation:
Staff recommends denial of APPEAL ZBA200006.
Variance Request Description
1214 Mountain Home Dr. Fort Collins, CO 80525
We are requesting a variance to land use code 3.5.3(F) (street-facing garage doors) based on the city’s
justification reason No. 1, by reason of exceptional physical conditions, including narrowness and
topography.
The lot’s pie shape at the end of the cul-de-sac makes it difficult to set the garage back, but the main
issue is the lot’s grade. This particular lot has a severe grade drop-off in the front of the lot (with an 11-
foot drop from the high point to the base of the slope). Because of that, we need to keep the house as
close to the street as possible. By keeping the garage all the way forward, it prevents us from having to
push it off the high point of the drop-off, leaving the least amount possible of the exposed solid wall to
the rear elevation. The farther we push the garage back, the taller the garage becomes, exposing more
solid, blank wall to the neighborhood greenbelt and surrounding properties. Keeping the garage forward
will have the best aesthetics for neighbors.
To help offset the garage’s prominence, we have upgraded the garage doors to a full overlay and applied
molding to the door for interesting detail and relief. We’ve added stone to the sides of the garage door,
and we’ve also added landscape walls and a front courtyard to add interest. We have also adjusted the
plan to ensure that the farthest face to the garage is no more than 8’ from the living wall.
There are several other similar garage elevations in the same neighborhood, so we felt this was a
reasonable approach that would help the house blend in with the rest of the neighborhood. The
neighborhood’s homeowners association architectural review board has approved this variance, in
writing as well.
Thank you for considering this variance request.
