HomeMy WebLinkAboutROMERO HOUSE (425 TENTH STREET) - PDP - 43-04 - CORRESPONDENCE -You can make this a separate plan at a smaller scale or you might be able to fit it on your existing site plan. That is primarily the information that we will need to review unless a utility plan is required. 5. 1 spoke with Rick Lee in Building Inspection about the building permit process, which will come after this development review process, to ascertain whether there might be any issues with this unique process. Rick says that under the Code the City uses, the Uniform Building Code (UBC), the building would not be allowed to obtain a building permit without bathrooms and ADA accessibility. I noticed on your plan set from Stewart Architects and Planners that there is a note about using the International Building Code (IBC) and treating the building as an 'artifact'. Rick says that with a memo from the author of that note explaining that IBC process (more detail on the note and information such as the definition of an artifact, showing that it applies in this case, etc) with approval of the Chief Building Official, Felix Lee, we could consider this an Alternate Method & Materials to satisfy required accessibility. Please prepare this memo and provide to Rick Lee in Building and Zoning to review to make sure that is in place by the time you get to the Building Permit stage. Rick may be contacted at 416-2340 or rdlee@fcgov.com. I'd appreciate it if you would copy me on those correspondences as well so I can stay in the loop. 6. You will need to set up an appointment to submit your PDP application with the Planning Tech in Current Planning at 221-6750. Incomplete submittals will not be accepted. 7. If you have any questions about the project or process, please feel free to contact me. 5 Advance Planning Contact Info: Carol Tunner, Historic Preservation, 221-6597, ctunner@fcgov.com and: Pete Wray, Project Manager for the Northside Neighborhoods Plan (NNP), 221-6754, pwray@fcgov.com 1 The Romero House, site and the district that it is in are all Fort Collins Landmarks. Designs need to adhere to Section 3.4.7 of the Land Use Code. 2 Carol will coordinate with City Staff to ensure that the project goes smoothly through the development review process and she will advocate for any needed improvements to be in alignment with the project's stated goal of restoring the building to its 1930's state. 3. Pete Wray is the project manager for the Northside Neighborhoods Plan (NNP) which includes the Andersonville Neighborhood area. He comments that the museo is a project that is supported by the neighborhood. He adds that the zoning comments above are consistent with the NNP direction. A community facility is allowed in the RL classification and will not take away from the character of this established neighborhood. 4. Recognizing that this is a unique situation, Pete also recommends a staff and client coordination meeting to clarify requirements for site in regards to applicable fees and infrastructure needs. While curb, gutter and sidewalks are needed in this area, the timing of these improvements will need to be coordinated with storm drainage facilities and other street improvement projects including funding sources, which could take some time to resolve. He will stay tuned to the project as well. Current Planning Contact Info: Anne Aspen 221-6206, aaspen@fcgov.com 1. A neighborhood meeting will need to be held for this application. Neighborhood meetings are typically held prior to submitting the project to the City for review. Please contact me to coordinate this meeting. We'll probably hold it at the Streets Facility since it's so close. 2. Since you will not be adding any new construction to the site, most of the typical sections of the Land Use Code do not apply. The site must comply with the Land Use Code, however, because of the change of use from house to house museum, even though it will have only light usage. There are not too many provisions in the Land Use Code that will apply. Most are listed above. I will do my best to make sure that this project is treated appropriately with regard to the goals of the project. As I mentioned in the conceptual review, this is a pretty unusual project for us so I'll try to pay special attention and oversee so that it goes smoothly and so that if any improvements are required that they are appropriate to the goals of this project. 3. Please visit our website at www.fcgov.com/currentplanning/submittals.php for a complete list of submittal requirements for your Project Development Plan, but contact me before you begin to assemble your packet and we can go through the list and tailor it for this project. Many of the submittal requirements will not apply. 4. For your PDP submittal, I suggest you create a plan which looks like your site plan (C of the Stewart Architects Plan Set) but with the floor plan (A-1 on the Stewart Architects Plan Set) in place of the Existing Structure shaded square. You should also provide basic information about the streets and properties immediately surrounding the site, including building footprints. 112 imperviousness is eliminated it can be used to offset any new structures or other imperviousness. 2. In the Dry Creek basin the two year historic release rate is 0.2 cfs/acre or show that the development can release storm water from the area into the larger system without increasing the peak discharge in the larger system. Extended detention is required to treat the runoff. If there is not an increase in imperviousness greater than 350 square feet, this requirement does not apply. If a sidewalk is required, a variance to the detention could be considered if it is justified. The existing impervious area needs to be documented so that when some of the existing building is torn down, that impervious area can be credited toward any future imperviousness. 3. This site is located in the Poudre River 500-year Moderate Risk Floodplain. The only floodplain restriction is no critical facility use such as a daycare, nursing home, school, hazardous material storage, etc. Contact: Marsha Hilmes-Robinson 225-6036 if you have any questions. Water/Wastewater Contact Info: Roger Buffington, 221-6854, rbuffington@fcgov.com 1. Since you plan to keep the water service for a hose bib and cap the sewer line for possible later use, there are no changes planned and therefore no comments or concerns. Engineering Contact Info: Marc Virata, 221-6605, mvirata@fcgov.com 1. Please contact Matt Baker in Street Oversizing at 224-6108 to ask if any Street Oversizing Fees or Larimer County Road Impact Fees apply to this project. 2. Eric Bracke in Transportation Planning at 224-6062 has waived the Transportation Impact Study for this project. 3. Sufficient rights -of -way have already been dedicated on this site, so no additional dedications will be required. 4. A Development Construction Permit, Development Agreement and Utility plans may be required for this project depending on how other departments weigh in on the project. Please stay in touch with Marc about this. 5. The project will need to design and construct sidewalk and curb & gutter improvement adjacent to the lot in accordance with the Larimer County Urban Area Street Standards. Context sensitive designs for the sidewalk are open to discussion and implementation. With no access being proposed onto the alley, alley improvements will not be required; however an escrow of funds will be required in lieu of the construction requirement. Transportation Planning Contact Info: Dave Averill 416-2643 1. Sidewalks do not exist currently in this area. Dave is sensitive to the restoration effort but also to the neighborhood concerns raised recently at the Northeast Neighborhood Plan Meetings, that adding sidewalks is the #1 pressing issue. Dave Averill, Marc Virata, Carol Tunner and Anne Aspen agreed to work together on the sidewalk issue with the applicant to arrive at a solution that is appropriate for both the project and for the neighborhood. 3 ITEM: Restoration and change of use for the Historic Romero House at 425 Tenth St. MEETING DATE: November 1, 2004 APPLICANT: Katherine Woods City Visions 315 South Sherwood St. Fort Collins, CO 80521-2635 LAND USE DATA: Request to change the use and restore the historic Romero House at 425 Tenth Street to its 1930's state (4 room mud plastered adobe house) for use as a house museum to share local Hispanic culture with school groups and small numbers of visitors. The property is within the City of Fort Collins and is currently zoned RL — Low Density Residential District. The following departmental agencies have offered comments for this proposal. COMMENTS: Zoning Contact Info: Gary Lopez, 416-2338, glopez@fcgov.com 1. Museums are not a permitted use in the R-L Zone. However, based on information that the restored home will be used as a house museum called the Museo de [as Tres Colonias, similar to the Avery House, we have determined that it will really be more of a community facility, which is a permitted use. 2. The proposed use is allowable in the R-L District as a community facility, and it will be subject to a Type II (Planning and Zoning Board) review process because the proposed use is different than its previous residential use. Light and Power Contact Info: Monica Moore, 221-6700, mmoore@fcgov.com 1. Since no changes to service are proposed, there will be no fees, unless you need to relocate the line when you relocate your meter. 2. Please contact Tom Rock at 221-6727 to coordinate when you plan to de - energize the building. Stormwater Contact Info: Glen Schlueter, Stormwater Utility 221-6700 1. This site is in the Dry Creek drainage basin where the new development fee is $5,000.00/acre which is subject to the runoff coefficient reduction. This fee is to be paid at the time a building permit is issued. This is only charged if there is an increase in imperviousness of 350 square feet or greater. It is important to document the existing imperviousness so if some 2 woz� November 4, 2004 Katherine Woods City Visions 315 South Sherwood St. Fort Collins, CO 80521-2635 Dear Katherine: For your information, attached is a copy of the Staff's comments for the restoration and change of use of the Historic Romero House at 425 Tenth St., which was presented before the Conceptual Review Team on November 1, 2004.
