Dear Resident:
On Thursday, September 6, 2007, at 5:15 p.m. (or as soon thereafter as possible), in the
Community Room at 215 North Mason Street*, Fort Collins, CO., the City of Fort Collins Hearing
Officer will conduct an Administrative Public Hearing to consider a development proposal in
your neighborhood. A decision on the proposal will result from this public hearing. Please
access the Community Room by the door at the north end of the building adjacent to the parking
lot.
This is a project known as 220 Edwards Street — Modifications of Standards (File #20-07).
This request is for modifications of several standards, set forth in the City of Fort Collins Land
Use Code (LUC), associated with the intent to construct a new single-family detached house on
the alley side (rear) of the lot at 220 Edwards Street. The requested modifications are as follows:
• Section 3.2.2(D)(3)(c) - Pavement ... the LUC requires that all open off-street parking
areas be surfaced with asphalt, concrete or other material in conformance with City
specifications. The applicant wants to use crushed granite/asphalt or 'grass-thru' pavers
for the driveway for the proposed new house along the alley.
• Section 4.8(D)(1) - Density ... the LUC requires that the lot area for a single-family
detached dwelling be a minimum of 5,000 square feet. The lot size at 220 Edwards Street
is 7,000 square feet and the applicant wants to construct a new detached dwelling, in
addition to the existing single-family dwelling. A new attached dwelling unit to the existing
house would be permitted without the need for a modification of this standard.
• Section 4.8(D)(2) - Residential ... the LUC limits the size of a new single-family dwelling
located behind a street -fronting principal building to a maximum of 1,000 square feet. The
applicant wants to construct a new single-family detached dwelling containing up to (but
not to exceed) 1,200 square feet on 2 floors.
• Section 4.8(E)(3) - Rear Yard Setback ... the LUC sets forth a minimum rear yard
setback of 15 feet. The applicant wants to construct the rear of the new single-family
detached dwelling a distance of 6 feet - 6 inches from the rear (north) property line for
220 Edwards Street. This would exceed the existing 5 foot setbacks from the same
property line for both the existing house and detached garage on the property.
A Project Development Plan submittal, for review of the actual site plan and building elevations,
has not yet been made to the City. This property is located at the northwest corner of Edwards
Street and Mathews Street and is zoned NCM, Neighborhood Conservation Medium Density.
The list of affected property owners for this public meeting is derived from official records of the
Larimer County Assessor. Because of the lag time between occupancy and record keeping, or
because of rental situations, a few affected property owners may have been missed. Please feel
free to notify your neighbor of this pending meeting so all neighbors may have the opportunity to
attend.
Sincerely:
Steve OI`
City Planner
