The design of this site must conform to the drainage basin design of the Old Town Master Drainage Plan as well the City's Stormwater Criteria Manual. Department: Historical Preservation Contact: Josh Weinberg, 970.221.6206, iweinbera(.fcgov.com Any exterior changes to or demolition of buildings 50 years old or older will need to be reviewed under the City's Demolition/Alteration Review Process, Municipal Code Section 14-72. This process begins with a determination of eligibility, which identifies the appropriate review process(es). The determination of eligibility requires current color photographs, of all sides of each building or structure. Sufficient photos should be taken to show the current condition of the building, especially any previous alterations or additions. Digital photos are encouraged, and may be sent to jeinberg@fcgov.com or kmcwilliams@fcgov.com. Hardcopies may be sent to P.O. Box 580, 80522; or dropped off at CDNS, 1st Floor, 281 N. College Ave. 2. The eligibility of a property for landmark designation does not, in any way, designate the property as a Landmark; it does define which of the various City review processes the development application would be reviewed under. If any of the buildings or structures are found to be individually eligible for Landmark designation, then the project would be reviewed for compliance with LUC Section 3.4.7. Section 3.4.7. is intended to ensure that, to the maximum extent feasible: (1) historic sites, structures or objects are preserved and incorporated into the proposed development and any undertaking that may potentially alter the characteristics of the historic property is done in a way that does not adversely affect the integrity of the historic property; and (2) new construction is designed to respect the historic character of the site and any historic properties in the surrounding neighborhood. 3. Owners of properties that are eligible as landmarks may choose to have the property officially recognized as a landmark, and then qualify for financial incentives. Financial programs include 20% State Tax Credits, $7,500 yearly no -interest loans, $15,000 Historic Structure Assessment grants, State Historic Fund grants of $200,000 and more, and, for income producing properties, an additional 20% Federal Tax Credit. Any work, both interior and exterior, which protects or promotes a building's historic character by meeting the Secretary of the Interior's Standards (http://www.cr.nps.gov/hps/tps/standguide/index.htm) can qualify. For more details on financial incentives, please contact Historic Preservation staff. 4. The Design Assistance Program pays for up to $2,000 each year, for the design of alterations, additions, or new construction located in the Eastside and Westside Neighborhoods (roughly, north of Prospect, and between Taft and Lemay). The owner selects from the Design Assistance Program Consultant's Master List, and the design must meet the requirements of the city's building codes. This assistance is available to anyone, regardless of the building's age or eligibility for designation.

Department: Water -Wastewater Engineering Contact: Roger Buffington, 970.221.6854, rbuffington0ftgov.com Existing water mains and sanitary sewers in this area include an 8-inch water main and an 8-inch sewer in Whitcomb. 2. The water and sewer services for the houses to the east (518 and 520 Cherry Street) extend from Whitcomb east through this lot or the lot to the south (530 cherry Street).. These services need to be located and possibly moved if there are conflicts with the proposed house. 3. Provide an easement for the water and/or sewer services on this site that extend to the houses to the east 4. Development fees and water rights will be due.at building permit. Department: Stormwater Engineering Contact: Glen Schlueter, 970.224-6065, aschlueter(ftaov.com 1. It is important to document the existing impervious area since drainage requirements and fees are based on new impervious area. An exhibit showing the existing and proposed impervious areas is required. 2. In the Old Town drainage basin a drainage and erosion control report and construction plans are required if there is an increase in impervious area greater than 5000 square feet. They must be prepared by a Professional Engineer registered in Colorado. If there is less than 5000 square feet of new impervious area, a drainage letter should be sufficient to document the existing and proposed drainage patterns. If there is less than 5000 but more than 350 square feet of new impervious area; a site grading and erosion control plan is required instead of a complete construction plan set. 3. Water quality treatment is also required as described in the City's Stormwater Criteria Manual. Extended detention is the usual method selected for water quality treatment; however the use of any of the BMPs is encouraged. (http://www.udfcd.org/downloads/down_critmanual_vollll.htm) 4. The city wide Stormwater development fee (PIF) is $6,390.00/acre ($0.1467/sq.ft.) for new impervious area over 350 sq.-ft., and there is a $1,045.00/acre ($0.024/sq.ft.) review fee. No fee is charged for existing impervious area. These fees are to be paid at the time each building permit is issued.
