By making this a boarding house does it become a commercial property? I ask that as I was instructed to do commercial utilities. Has this always been the case or is this new. Does this also mean that our property taxes will be commercial? Can you give me an address of an older boarding house so that I can do some research as to the increased costs we might have. Has there been a determination as to if we need to pay for the prospect street expansion. I certainly disagree with this as you already know. Please advise. Thanks CC: Steve Olt JiSteve Olt - Fwd: RE: Boarding houses From: Shelby Sommer To: Doug Martine Date: 12/07/2005 9:45:40 AM Subject: Fwd: RE: Boarding houses Thanks Doug, and that's no problem. I'll make sure that Steve and I delete the comments from the comment letters and follow-up with the applicants as necessary. Shelby >>> Doug Martine 12/7/05 9:43 AM >>> Shelby, Unfortunately we had no reason to keep a list or a file for the boarding houses applications. Therefore, we have no way to go back and edit DMS comments because we don't know where we have made those comments. Doug >>> Shelby Sommer 12/07 9:32 AM >>> Doug, Thanks for the update. This morning at Staff Review an applicant was told otherwise and that his 6 boarding houses would have to switch over to commercial service. Can you please make sure that all of your staff members update their comments in DMS as soon as possible today so that we send out accurate information in our comment letters this week? Thanks again, Shelby >>> Doug Martine 12/7/05 8:48 AM >>> Shelby, After much research and discussion, it has been concluded that boarding houses can be on the residential electric rate. Rate ordinances from several years ago stipulated boarding houses to be on the commercial rate, but the current rates are silent on boarding houses. Since the expected electric use pattern is like that of a residence, we concluded that the appropriate rate is residential. There is very little difference between the two rates anyway. Let me know if you have any questions. Doug >>> Shelby Sommer 12/06 10:33 AM >>> Doug - Here's the email that brought up the commercial vs. residential issue for boarding houses. At Conceptual Review she was told to switch to commercial service. Similar comments may have been entered in DIMS for the boarding houses on Prospect, Blevins Ct. and Lake St. - I can give you a list of all of them if necessary. Either way, let's just be consistent. Thanks a bunch!

Light and Power has updated their comments regarding converting to commercial rates. Here is their final decision, in writing: After much research and discussion, it has been concluded that boarding houses can be on the residential electric rate. Rate ordinances from several years ago stipulated boarding houses to be on the commercial rate, but the current rates are silent on boarding houses. Since the expected electric use pattern is like that of a residence, we concluded that the appropriate rate is residential. There is very little difference between the two rates anyway. -Doug Martine Steve and I will make sure to update your comment letters to reflect this recent decision. 2. The applicant I mentioned who was satisfied with her drafting consultant is Kris Ticnor. Her email address is mvhouse(@mvfortcollinshome.com and her office phone number is 970-689-8803. She is aware that you may be contacting her. We'll have your plans and comment letters ready for pickup no later than Friday afternoon. Feel free to call if you have any questions in the meantime.
