Hello Chair‐person Shields,
Since May the ZBA has conducted a remote hearing. These remote hearings appear to have met the needs of the board
members and the applicants. The concerns that prompted these remote meetings have not dissipated.
Health risks during a world‐wide pandemic
Difficulties in coordinating logistics for an in‐person meeting or hybrid of such
It is staff recommendation to continue with a remote hearing September through December meeting of the ZBA.
Please respond to this email with your agreement with this recommendation or other suggestions for this hearing.

Written Statement: Zoning Variance Request
Address: 403 E. Pitkin Street, Fort Collins, CO 80524
•Forge+Bow Dwellings, on behalf of the Mitchell family, is pursuing a variance within the City of
Fort Collins Zoning Land Use Code.
•Land Use Code currently allows for a Low Density District (N-C-L) maximum building height of 2
finished stories. Forge+Bow Dwellings is seeking approval of a 3rd story in order to finish out the
existing attic space within the home.
•The existing exterior roofline, ridge line, and existing attic windows are to remain in the same
location(s) as they currently exist. From the exterior, there will be no change to the existing attic
window sizes, roof, or the top floor elevation. Additionally, the residence will continue to be used
as a single family home. The finished attic space will not be used as a secondary dwelling unit
and as such will not contain a kitchen or cooking appliance.
•The proposed variance will be of nominal and inconsequential impact on the current
neighborhood. From the exterior, the attic level will appear equal to current conditions.

August 9, 2020
Dear ZBA,
I am seeking a variance from the side yard setbacks from 5’ to 3’6” based on the
nominal and inconsequential justification for the following reasons:
The existing structure (which will be removed) is currently within inches of
the neighboring property line. This condition has existed as long as I have
owned the home and I cannot find record of the creation of the existing
outbuilding.
The north side neighbor has a 2-car garage and a small shed. My
outbuilding plans meet all floor area ration and eave height guidelines.
The alley is extremely narrow and has been vacated dead-ending at the
415 N Whitcomb lot. Currently only the 415 and 407 neighbors utilize the
alley for access.
In addition to the nominal and inconsequential reasoning, a variance would allow
more usable space to the south of the building footprint. My lot does not have off-
street parking on the street side. Being able to park my vehicle off the alley
would be beneficial and additional room in the narrow alley would help to
accommodate this while still allowing a workable buffer on the north side.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
ginny

To Whom it May Concern,
My name is James Sanders and I am the owner and resident of 407 N Whitcomb. I
have lived at this property since 2015.
Ginny has made me aware of her plans to build a shed and the desire for the
variance against our property lines. I support this variance. The current structure
is far closer that the 3’ 6” proposal and not been problematic at any point. Like much
of old town, this alley has it’s own unique features including being narrow and a
deadend.
Providing additional space on the south side of the proposed structure will allow
needed space for additional radius if Ginny (or future owners) opt to put a vehicle in
that space. It also prevents “attractive nuisance” space in a deadend alley hidden
between a fence and the backside of a building.
Thank you for the consideration.
James Sanders
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 lim ited to physical conditions such as exceptional narrowness, shallowness, or
topography, the strict application of the code requirem ents 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-im posed);
(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.

Written Explanation:
Our fence that boarders Wabash street broke in the last snowstorm this Spring. It was a safety concern
to our two-year-old and dog because it opened our backyard to a busy street. We hired a local company
to replace the original fence where it previously stood and asked them to raise the fence from 5 feet to
6 feet. We wanted a 5-foot privacy fence with a 1-foot lattice on top. After the fence was already
constructed, we received a notice that the fence needed to be two feet back from the sidewalk and it
was over the 6-foot city limit for a fence without a permit, which we were unaware of. We built the
fence where the previously one was, so we were unaware that it should have been moved back two
feet. It does match with our neighbors fence along Wabash to the west, and out backyard is raised up
from the sidewalk, so my concern is that moving the fence back two feet would cause a good amount of
dirt and rock would then gradually fall into the sidewalk and cause a hindrance. Where the fence is now
does not pose any difficulty in the sidewalk and the previous fence had already been in that position.
We had asked the fence company to build the fence at 6 feet, so we were unaware that it was over the
6-foot marked by city code. From our backyard it does measure to 6 feet, but since our backyard is
raised it measures at 6 feet 3 inches along the Wabash sidewalk. On the east side, where the fence
turns towards our house, the fence post is 6 feet 7 inches as it raises in elevation towards our house.
We were unaware of both of these heights but are requesting that we waive an engineer needing to
inspect this fence area and avoid taking down the lattice topper.
Thank you!

Reasoning with Photos for variance request for 1640 Remington Street
We would like to build a 10’ x 14’ shed, with maximum height of 12.5’ in our backyard with 3’
setbacks from the property lines of the rear and interior property lines . The proposed shed
would be surrounded on all sides by other buildings (our house, our neighbor’s house, our
other neighbors’ shed, and our garage), which we think reduces the impact this shed would
have on our neighbors if a variance is granted. Please see attached photos of surroundings. The
shed would not be visible from any street, and we propose to build it on footers to allow water
to reach permeable soil below the shed.
Figure 1 Proposed shed would face our house and lean-to shed on its west side.
Figure 2 The proposed shed would face our neighbor's house on its north side.
Figure 3 The proposed shed would face the back of our other neighbors' shed on its west side.
Figure 4 The proposed shed would face the back of our garage on its south side.

Page 5 of the AWC span tables for joists and rafters, 2012 edition says that
a 2xB floor joist at 16" on center can span 13' with a modulus of Elasticity of
1.7 al 40 lb live load and 10 lb dead load. This is the basic standard used
for residential construction. Our span is only 10 feet which makes it much
stronger.
