03/15/2012: In the event of neighborhood opposition a modification requesting that the garage '
be used as a vehicle space would reduce the outdoor off-street spaces from four to three thus
reducing the visual impact of the number of vehicles along the streetscape. It will also free up
8.5' of add'I on street parking; not much but on a cul-de-sac on -street parking is premium. Had
the width of the property as contoured with the street been less than 65 linear feet then the
garage could be used as a parking space. However, the down side to this is the need for the
garage to be used exclusively for parking. If it isn't utilized then another vehicle is on the
street. A lease provision might be considered enforcing that the garage space be used for
parking.

driveway. The dov gout itself should be routed in a manner VL .irects flows onto
landscaping and does not drain directly onto the driveway (and then out across the sidewalk).

03/21/2012: The drawing should specify whether any of the existing driveway is intended to
remain or will it all be removed and a new driveway poured (either show sections to remain, or
indicate install new driveway).

03/21/2012: The drawing should label the property line along Deines Court. The dark line along
the southern boundary seems to indicate the property/right-of-way line, which if accurate shows
additional concrete that would be installed in right-of-way. I'm more inclined to believe that the
right-of-way follows the flowline of Deines Court based upon parcel map data from both the City
and Larimer County, in which case all the proposed work for the driveway would occur fully on
private property. Verification of the property boundary in relation to the driveway work is
needed to establish whether a driveway approach permit is needed.

3/15/2012 Based on the new site plan submitted my calculations of concrete area ratio full front
yard are based on the front property line to building and side to side property lines show 722
s.f. concrete areas and 1375 s.f. organic totaling to total front yard area of 2097 s.f. thus
concrete or hard surface area ratio is 34%/100% which is slightly less than calculation by
Freeman Arch. which was 35%/100% again less than the 40%/100% required. I have no
qualms with the numbers. Even if one doesn't take into account the arcs and made full
rectangular spaces from the longest depth side I come up with 803 s.f./2097 s.f. representing
38%/100%. Adding the add'I amt. of full rectangle (without Arc) into the full front yard area
brings the amount down to 37%/100%.

vehicles forwarded on to the grass.

03/19/2012: To minimize the on -site parking in the front yard for the proposed 5 tenants the
applicant could request a modification of standard to provide only 3 on -site parking spaces and
allow one parking space to be in the garage, with an option being in front on Deines Court.

03/23/2012: Based on the discussion between City staff and the applicant at the staff review
meeting this past Wednesday, March 21 st, where potential inaccuracies on the plans were
noted, another round of development review will be necessary before the item could be
scheduled for the required administrative public hearing. The next staff review meeting will
occur 2 weeks following the City's receipt of revised plans. A Revision Routing Sheet,
showing the number of copies of documents to submit, is attached to the staff comment letter.

03/07/2012: The Site Plan does not identify the surface material for the 4 parking spaces
on -site. Will they be asphalt or concrete?
Comment Number: 8 Comment Originated: 03/19/2012
03/19/2012: Based on the information on the Site Plan (dated February 28, 2012) it appears that
the parking in the front yard will not exceed 40% in every case. This relates to the front yard
within the property line, or including the parkway strip between back of sidewalk and the
property line, or including the sidewalk.

03/20/2012: There is a support pole at the southwest corner of the house that supports the
eave over the garage entry. Is it possible that this post could hinder the ability to park a car on
the westernmost parking space as shown on the Site Plan?
Comment Number: 11 Comment Originated: 03/23/2012
03/23/2012: On the Site Plan the scaled distance between the back of sidewalk and
downspout/post at the comer of the eave/roofline at the southwest comer of the house is 24
feet. The applicant has indicated that the actual measured distance is 18 feet. There is a 6 foot
discrepancy here, which could possibly create a problem with the on -site parking as well as
the allowable front yard/parking ratio. A revised Site Plan, with correct information, must be
submitted for review.

03/21/2012: The drawing doesn't reflect the overhang of the roof along with the downspout that
would appear to empty on an expanded portion of driveway. This information should be
reflected on the site plan to then ascertain how the parking stall depth is achieved and whether
the downspout if intended to remain might impact the parking and drainage across the

03/07/2012: Section 3.8.28 Extra Occupancy Rental House Regulations of the Land Use Code
requires that there be a minimum of 350 square feet of habitable floor space for each tenant in
the house. The Site Plan as submitted shows the existing house to be a single story building
with 1,344 square feet in total. If that is the case then there is only 268 square feet for each of
the 5 tenants, which is not sufficient.
Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 03/07/2012
03/07/2012: The Larimer County Assessor's records show that the main floor of the existing
house at 516 Deines Court is 1,344 square feet. The records also show that there is a 1,092
square foot basement, with 276 square feet being finished. This is not consistent with the Site
Plan as submitted to the City for review. Please clarify.
Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 03/07/2012
03/07/2012: The garage and the laundry room in the basement do not count toward the total
amount of habitable floor space in the house.
