If the accessory building is NOT a dwelling unit, water and sewer service may be extended from the house to the accessory building. Response: The proposed 2-car garage (accessory building) is not intended to be a dwelling unit. Water and sewer service shall be connected (extended) from the house to the interior hand sink and external hose bibb. 2. There is a public sewer in the alley behind the property. It is suggested that the existing sewer service be located to determine if there may be a conflict with the location of the garage/accessory building. Response: General note number 1 has been added to Sheet PDP-1 requiring that a utility locating service be contacted to determine the placement and presence of all wet and dry utilities. PLANNING (Environmental Planner) Contact Info: Dana Leavitt, 224-6143, dleavitt(cDfcgov.com 1. Please contact Tim Buchanan, City Forester, about the impacts to the existing trees and/or if you propose to remove any trees. Response: One existing tree resides northeast of the proposed 2-car garage. The tree shall remain and only some of the upper encroaching limbs and branches will require some pruning. HISTORIC PRESERVATION Contact Info: Karen McWilliams, 224-6078, kmcwilliams(a)fcgov.com 1. This site may be individually eligible for historic landmark designation. If you are interested in designating your property as a historic landmark, please contact the Historic Preservation staff for details. Response: Thank you. The owner will keep this in mind. 2. No concerns with this accessory building proposal. Response: Thank you. PLANNING (Associate Planner) Contact Info: Shelby Sommer, 416-2138, ssommer(a)fcgov.com 1. This proposal will be subject to the Development Review process. A decision (approval, approval with conditions or denial) will ultimately be made by the City's Administrative Hearing Officer following an Administrative Public Hearing (Type One Review). For an outline of the Development Review process, please download the "Overview of the Development Review Process" document located at http://fcgov.com/currentplanning/. Response: Understood, thank you for this information. LIGHT & POWER Contact Info: Janet McTague, 221-6700, utilities(c�fcgov.com 1. The existing electric feed is located in the alley and will likely need to be rerouted on this property to accommodate the proposed accessory building. Response: Understood, the proposed garage has been shifted towards the west at far as possible given the setback requirements and the doors have been offset from center, however, it's true the existing power pole will likely need to be rerouted to avoid being struck by vehicle movement. Please assist and advise regarding the means and process to reroute the electrical service. STORMWATER UTILITY Contact Info: Glen Schlueter, 221-6700, gschlueter(cbfcgov.com 1. This site is in the Old Town drainage Basin. The design of this site must conform to the drainage basin design of the Old Town Master Drainage Plan as well the City's Design Criteria and Construction standards. Response: Very little change to the existing drainage pattern around the new structure will result. Please see the attached Sheet PDP-1 and the Site Plan that demonstrates how the drainage will be routed around the new garage. 2. The city wide development fee is $3,070/acre ($0.0705/sq.ft.) for new impervious area over 350 sq.ft. This fee is to be paid at the time a building permit is issued. Response: With the proposed development plan including the concrete approach and sidewalk on the east side of the garage, the impervious area equates to 998 square feet. Thus, the development fee due would then be $ 70.36. 3. Since the increase in impervious area for this site is less than 5000 square feet no drainage and erosion control report are required, however a grading plan should be prepared showing how the site will drain after the addition of the garage. The grading plan is to ensure that flows from this new structure are directed into the alley and do not adversely impact any neighboring property. This would include documenting that the alley flows stay in the alley and don't drain onto other private property before runoff gets to the street. Documentation of the amount of new impervious area is needed to get a building permit. Response: As calculated above, the new impervious area is equal to 998 square feet. Please see Sheet PDP-1 and the Site Plan that demonstrates how the drainage will be routed around the new garage. 5 ENGINEERING Contact Info: Randy Maizland, 221-6605, rmaizland(c)fcgov.com 1. The Transportation Development Review Fee will apply to this project. More information is available online at http://fcgov.com/engineering/dev-review.php. Please contact Randy if you have any questions or need help calculating the fee for your proposal. Response: According to the information provided from Shelby previously, the fee due is $500.00 and has been provided with this submittal. 2. Larimer County Road Impact fees and Street Oversizing fees may apply to this development. Contact Matt Baker at 224-6108 or mbaker(cDfcgov.com for more information. Response: Since there is no work in the county road, or any widening of the street, it is believed that impact fees will not be applicable. 3. A Transportation Impact Study (TIS) will likely be waived for this project. Please contact Eric Bracke in Traffic Operations at 224-6062 or ebracke(cDfcgov.com for further information. Response: Understood. 4. Any public improvements must be built according to Larimer County Urban Area Street Standards (LUCASS). Response: Thank you, however, no public improvements are proposed. 5. Damaged curb, gutter and sidewalk existing prior to construction, as well as streets, sidewalks, curbs and gutters, destroyed, damaged or removed due to construction of this project, shall be replaced or restored in like kind at the Developer's expense prior to the acceptance of completed improvements and/or prior to the issuance of the first Certificate of Occupancy. Response: Understood. 6. You will be responsible for dedicating additional right-of-way and easements for utilities as necessary. It appears that there is adequate right-of-way based on the aerial photo, but a total of 51 feet of right-of- way from the centerline of Shields Street will be required if not already provided. Utility easements may be required for fiber-optic cable or other utilities. Response: By review of the existing plat, the right-of-way is currently 30-feet from the center line of the Shields. The existing home is located 13-feet from the property line and therefore encroaches a requested 51-foot dedicated right-of- way by 8-feet. The proposed 2-car garage would encroach this area by 2-feet. 7. An 8 foot setback from the alley will be required for the accessory building, or if you propose parking off the alley between the alley and accessory building, a 20 foot setback will be required. Response: Please see Sheet PDP-1. An 8-foot setback from the alley has been provided. C! CI 5. A 7 9 10. Minimum rear yard setback is 5 feet from existing alleys, though Engineering requirements state that an 8 foot setback is required from the existing alley. Response: Please see the Site Plan on Sheet PDP-1, per the engineering requirements, an 8-foot rear yard setback has been provided. Minimum side yard setback is 5 feet for interior side yards for walls up to 18 feet in height. For walls that are over 18 feet in height, an additional side yard setback of 1 foot is required for each two feet of (or portion of) wall height above 18 feet. Response: Since the side walls of the structure are less than 18-feet in height, a 5-foot interior side yard has been provided. Lots are subject to a maximum Floor Area Ratio (FAR) of 0.33 on the rear 50 percent of the lot. Response: Please see Sheet PDP-1. In the upper right-hand corner is a tabulation of the floor areas for the various structures. Specific to those on the rear 50 percent of the lot, the proposed garage encumbers an area equal to .070 and the other existing shed on the rear of the lot encumbers .023. Totaled together, these equate to .093 which is less than the allowable .33 floor area ratio. Maximum building height is one and one-half stories, not to exceed 24 feet. Response: Please see Sheet PDP-2. The top ridge elevation is 22'41 518" which is less than the maximum 24-feet. The minimum pitch of the roof shall be 2:12 and the maximum pitch of the roof shall be 12:12. Response: Please see Sheets PDP-1 and PDP-2. The pitch of the roof areas are 4.5:12 and 8:12. The exterior eave height of an eave along a side lot line shall not exceed 13 feet from grade for an accessory building with habitable space. Response: Please see Sheet PDP-2. The exterior eave height along the side lot line is just shy of 13-feet from grade. If you cannot comply with any of the standards listed above, you will need to request a modification to the standard(s), outlined in Division 2.8 of the City's Land Use Code. Response: Understood, a request for modification for an additional 50 square feet will be submitted for review under separate cover. h« �� cl_7 \fie ( b 3 ITEM: Proposed accessory building with habitable space located at 1101 W.
