Department: Zoning Contact: Peter Barnes, 970-416-2355, pbarnes fcgov.com Topic: Building Elevations Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 03/08/2013 03/08/2013: The carriage house building is limited to a 1 1/2 story structure. The definition of half story is: "Story, half shall mean a space under a sloping roof which has the line of intersection of the roof and wall face not more than three (3) feet above the floor level, and in which space the possible floor area with head room of five (5) feet or less occupies at least forty (40) percent of the total floor area of the store directly beneath." There's not enough information to determine if the building is a 1 1/2 story or 2 story structure. Topic: General Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 03/11/2013 03/11/2013: The maximum floor area allowed for the carriage house building is 1000 square feet. This includes the garage portion of the building. The footprint is 572 square feet, which means that the maximum floor area allowed of the upper level is 428 square feet. A floor plan of both stories of the carriage house building is required. Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 03/11/2013 03/11/2013: Since the stairway at the breezeway provides a private entrance to the second floor of the house, no cooking appliance will be allowed in the 'wet bar' area. There must be a note on the floor plan stating that there will be no cooking appliance on the second floor of the house. Topic: Site Plan Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 03/08/2013 03/08/2013: The wall height of the dormer addition on the north side is about 26' above grade. This wall height requires a side yard setback of 9'. It's shown on the site plan as being considerably less. - Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 03/08/2013 03/08/2013: Add notes to the site plan re: building square footage, number of parking spaces, Floor Area Ratio (overall and rear 1/2 of the lot).

Is the garage strictly to be built and used as a garage or will there be a living unit within/above the garage? Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 03/20/2013 03/18/2013: 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 jweinberg@fcgov.com or kmcwilliams@fcgov.com. Hardcopies may be sent to P.O. Box 580, 80522; or dropped off at CDNS, 1 st Floor, 281 N. College Ave. Comment Number: 2 03/18/2013: Comment Originated: 03/20/2013 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. Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 03/20/2013 03/18/2013: Per Municipal Code 14-72, the building on the property was determined individually eligible for Landmark designation. Comment Number: 4 03/18/2013: Comment Originated: 03/20/2013 As originally submitted, the plans to alter the historic building were found to adversely impact the building's eligibility for Landmark Designation. After meeting with a design review subcommittee of the Landmark Preservation Commission the applicant resubmitted plans showing the suggestions made at the meeting which would uphold the building's eligibility. Thus, the current plans meet LUC 3.4.7 and Municipal Code 14-72.

Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 03/20/2013 03/20/2013: The plans show a proposed new fence along Mulberry Street. The proposed location is shown within Mulberry Street right-of-way and would need to be relocated outside of right-of-way. Department: Engineering Development Review Contact: Marc Virata, 970.221-6567, mvirata(a)fcgov.com Topic: General Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 03/20/2013 03/20/2013: The access ramps at the corner of Whitcomb Street and Mulberry Street are lacking truncated dome detection as required by our street standards in conformance with ADA criteria. In addition, it appears that the access ramps exceed street standards in conformance with ADA criteria. Our Engineering Construction Inspector Manager will be doing some further verification this morning. If confirmed, the proposal would need to reconfigure one or both sidewalk and ramps with compliant grade and truncated dome detection and a note needs to be added to the plan reflecting this. Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 03/20/2013 03/20/2013: The plans should use a consistent title on the plan sets as the architectural elevations and the site plan differ in project title. Comment Number: 6 Comment Originated: 03/20/2013 03/20/2013: Please provide an updated plan submittal with the next review.
