The proposed development project is subject to a Type 1 review and public hearing, the decision maker for Type 1 hearings is an Administrative Hearing Officer. The applicant for this development request is not required to hold a neighborhood meeting for a Type 1 hearing, but if you would like to have one to notify your neighbors of the proposal, please let me know and I can help you in setting a date, time and location for a meeting. Neighborhood Meetings are a great way to get public feedback and avoid potential hiccups that may occur later in the review process. 2. Please see the Development Review Guide at www.fcgov.com/drg. This online guide features a color coded flowchart with comprehensive, easy to read information on each step in the process. This guide includes links to just about every resource you need during development review. 3. This development proposal will be subject to all applicable standards of the Fort Collins Land Use Code (LUG), including Article 3 General Development Standards. The entire LUC is available for your review on the web at httpl/www.colocode.com/ftcollins/landuselbegin.htm. 4. If this proposal is unable to satisfy any of the requirements set forth in the LUC, a Modification of Standard Request will need to be submitted with your formal development proposal. Please see Section 2.8.2 of the LUC for more information on criteria to apply for a Modification of Standard. 5. Please see the Submittal Requirements and Checklist at: hftp:/hvww.fcgov.com/developmentreview/applications.php. 6. The request will be subject to the Development Review Fee Schedule that is available in the Community Development and Neighborhood Services office. The fees are due at the time of submittal of the required documents for the appropriate development review process by City staff and affected outside reviewing agencies. Also, the required Transportation Development Review Fee must be paid at time of submittal. Department: Stormwater Engineering Contact: Glen Schlueter, 970.224-6065, gschlueter(a)fcgov.com 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. 3. A grading and erosion control plans are required. The erosion control requirements have been updated in the Stormwater Design Criteria Section 1.3.3. If you need clarification concerning this section, please contact the Erosion Control Inspector, Jesse Schlam at 224-6015 or jschlam@fcgov.com. A grading certification from a professional engineer is also required prior to release of the Certificate of Occupancy. 4. 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. Please see the following Urban Drainage site for other methods: (http:/hvww.udfcd.org/downloads/down_cdtmanual_volill.htm). For small sites like this, disconnection of impervious area by running roof runoff into landscape areas is one method to meet this requirement. 5. There is a large storm sewer in Laurel and an inlet at the northwest corner of the site that can be used as a drainage outfall. 6. 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. Information on fees can be found on the City's web site at http://www.fcgov.com/utilibes/business/builders-and-developers/plant-investment-development-fees or contact Jean Pakech at 221- 6375 for questions on fees. There is also an erosion control escrow required before the Development Construction permit is issued. The amount of the escrow is determined by the design engineer, and is based on the site disturbance area or a minimum amount in accordance with the Fort Collins Stormwater Design Criteria. 7. 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: Park Planning Contact: Craig Foreman, 970-221-6618, cforemanOfcgov.com 1. 1.2/27/2012: No comments Department: Fire Authority Contact: Ron Gonzales, 970-221-6635, ronzales ftoudre-frre.org 1. 1. The address numerals shall be visible from the street. 2. 2. A fire hydrant shall be within 400 feet of the structure, measured as the hose would lay, which delivers 1000 gpm @ 20 psi. Department: Electric Engineering Contact: Justin Fields, 970-224-6150, jfieldsRfcgov.com Department: Zoning Contact: Gary Lopez, 970-416-2338, glopez(a)fcgov.com 6. FAR's or Floor Area Ratios restricting the floor area of all buildings to the both the entire lot and the rear half of the lot can be found in LUC 4.8(D). It appears that you may meet those requirements but you might look at that section. However, a lot split may create the rear FAR of the new right side lot not to be met. 7. Platting is required to either continue as a single lot or to split the lot as the lot isn't platted. Again a minimum of a 40' width for each lot is required. Lots with less than 40' min. width will require a modification. 8. There is little information regarding the structure to be moved and known as the "Button" house at 711 Remington. County records indicate it is a duplex. Your description of proposal indicates that the "goal is to use the Button House as a primary residence". If that means a single family detached structure then the structure may be too large. The county records indicate that the structure is 1209 s.f. If true a modification is required as 1000 s.f. is the max. size for a new single family dwelling being located behind an existing street fronting principal building such as the existing duplex. In addition the new single family detached structure cannot have a building footprint greater than 600 s.f. Photos obtained of the "Button" house show it to be a single story structure with a footprint greater than 600 s.f. A modification will be required for that as well. The non -conformity would be eliminated by replating the property into 2 lots though that presents other issues already noted. 9. A 5' sideyard setback is required for the "Button" house. The same is required in the event of a lot split for both properties. Existing structures will also need to meet minimum setback requirements. Department: Water -Wastewater Engineering Contact: Roger Buffington, 970-221-6854, rbuffrngton(afcgov.com 1. Existing water mains and sanitary sewers in this area include a 6-inch water main, an 8-inch sewer and a 27-inch sewer in Laurel. 2. Each house (or duplex) must have separate water and sewer services connecting to the mains in Laurel. 3. There is a large storm sewer (108-inch) in Laurel which creates a challenge for connecting the water service to the 6-inch water main on the north side of Laurel. 4. The sewer service for the proposed dwelling unit must connect to a manhole. The nearest manhole is in Laurel northeast of the property. 5. Development fees and water rights will be due at building permit. Department: Stormwater Engineering Contact: Glen Schlueter, 970-224-6065, gschlueter&fcgov.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 City of Flirt Collins March 02, 2012 Lloyd Angell 901 East Laurel Fort Collins, CO Community Development and Neighborhood Services 281 North College Avenue PO Box 580 Fort Collins, CO 80522 970.221.6760 970.224.6134 - fax fcgov.com Re: Relocation of 711 Remington Street to 901 East Laurel Street Description of project: This is a request to relocate the individually eligable for local landmark designation home at 711 Remington Street to 901 East Laurel Street. The site is located in the N-C-M, Neighborhood Conservation Medium Density Zone District and the use is permitted subject to an Administrative (Type 1) Review and Public Hearing (LUC 4.8(13)(2)(a)(1)). Please see the following summary of comments regarding the project request referrenced above. The comments offered informally by staff during the Conceptual Review will assist you in preparing the detailed components of the project application. Modifications and additions to these comments may be made at the time of formal review of this project. If you have any questions regarding these comments or the next steps in the review process, you may contact the individual commenter or direct your questions through the Project Planner, Courtney Levingston, at 970-416-2283 or clevingston@fcgov.com. Comment Summary: Department: Zoning Contact: Gary Lopez, 970-416-2338, aloaez()fcaov.com LUC 4.8(E)(1) requires that each principal building (single family and duplex) will need a 40' wide lot An 80' wide lot is thus required. A modification will need to be requested as the lot width shown and indicated is 77'. In addition a lot split will impact the placement of the "Button" house. It would have to be moved in front of the existing/proposed garage. A modification would be required to place the house behind the accessory structure if the lot were split. 2. A minimum of a two car wide driveway likely required; one space for each principal building. 3. LUC 4.8(D)(4) limits the size of an accessory building without habitable space (or without water services) to 600 s.f. By adding the new garage (500 s.f.) to the existing garage (240 s.f.) the total (or 740 s.f.) exceeds the maximum square footage of 600. If the second or new garage were separate there would be no issue. 4. NCM zoning requires that the minimum rear setback be 15' from the rear property line. The relocated garage may have to be moved forward. 5. We need to know what you mean by "Home Office". If this is a home business then a variance would have sought to allow you to conduct a home occupation from the accessory building as well as a Home Occupation license Home occupations are required to be contained within the principal residence and not within accessory detached structures.
