describe that?
Answer: It would be on the south side to bring light into the
structure. I anticipate that it would be 3 1h -4 feet wide with
a swinging door.
5. Question: What are the floodplain regulations?
Answer: Marsha Hilmes-Robinson: Pending a second reading of City
Council in March, the new regulations will stipulate that if
there is a 50% or greater improvement in value as a result of
a redevelopment, certain standards be met, including
elevation of the structure. The current mapping flood depth
for a 100 year flood on this property is 2 feet. Similar
flooding was seen here in 1992 and 1997. The structure
would be required to be raised above that depth to protect it
from the water levels of such a flood.
6. Question: Will this force us to carry flood insurance?
Answer: This area is in the City not the FEMA floodplain, so no
mandatory flood insurance will be required.
7. Question: What about parking? I'm worried about this in the scenario
that the property gets sold to a different owner, perhaps one
who rents it out.
Answer: Anne Aspen: This project's approval would specifically
exclude its use as a rental. If you saw someone renting the
unit, it would be a code violation and could be enforced.
Andy Sawczyn: There is space on the north of the carriage
house but I don't anticipate using it since the alley is so
muddy. Other than a few construction deliveries prior to the
rehab, traffic should not increase at all.
10. Question: How long have you lived here?
Answer: Since October, 2004, though we moved here from another
neighborhood in Fort Collins.
Meeting concluded at about 8:OOpm.

lav, a toilet, and a shower.

foundation.
3. Question: Is Historic Preservation interested in the property and/or
carriage house?

designation. I haven't decided yet if I will pursue that
avenue.
