LEGAL NOTICE
The purpose of this letter is to inform you of a request for a modification of the Zoning Code of
the City of Fort Collins.
The procedure for a person requesting a modification of the Zoning Code is to make application
and appear before the Zoning Board of Appeals. This Board has been established to hear
cases, where by reason of exceptional situations or conditions, the strict application of the
regulation would result in peculiar and practical difficulties or exceptional undue hardship upon
the owner of such property, provided that the granting of a variance would not result in a
substantial detriment to the public good.
A variance of Code Section(s) 3.5.2(D)(3) has been requested by Rick Reider for the following
described property: 226 W. Laurel/642 S. Howes.
For 226 W. Laurel, the variance would reduce the required rear yard setback from the north
property line from 15' to 7' and reduce the side yard setback requirement from the east lot line
from 5' to 1' in order to allow the rear portion of the existing duplex to be demolished and
reconstructed. The existing side setback along the east is already only 1'. For 642 S. Howes,
the variance would reduce the required rear setback from the east lot line from 15' to 5' in order
to allow the existing bam/garage to be relocated on the lot. The existing rear setback is only
about 1' from the lot line.
This item will appear on the Zoning Board of Appeals agenda as Appeal No. 2233.
As an adjacent property owner, your input would be appropriate in the consideration of the
variance request.
The hearing on this appeal will be held at 8:30 a.m. on Thursday, August 13, 1998, in the
Council Chambers at 300 Laporte Avenue. Those interested may appearat this meeting, or if
unable to attend may submit comments in writing. Meeting sites are generally accessible to
handicapped persons. If you are disabled and need special assistance to participate, please call
221-6760.
If you have any questions or comments, feel free to contact Peter Barnes, Zoning Administrator
at 221-6760.
