Alternative Compliance Request
637 Cowan Street PDP Final
To: Troy Jones, Current Planning Department, City of Fort Collins
From: Trista Sigler, One Earth Solutions
Dear Troy,
In response to comment number 52 for Cowan Street PDP, which recites code requiring three
additional trees on site, I would like to request an alternative compliance to two of these.
"Add another tree west of the existing house... section 3.2.1(D)(1)(c)"
This part of the LUC requires "full tree stocking in all high use or high visibility sides of any
building". This area of the building is not in high use nor does it have high visibility. It is the
only open grass area in the back yard and is used partially for clothesline. There are currently
three Elm trees and vines along the north property line in that area. See photo Bin exhibit.
These elms and vines provide screening and continuity as well as a positive aesthetic quality
between properties.
The intent of the `full tree stocking' is to provide an adequate number of trees around a structure
to provide shade, aesthetics, screening, continuity and enhancement to outdoor spaces. The
existing vegetation adequately meets this intent.
"Add a tree between the parking area and the north property line... section 3.2.1(E)(4)(a)"
The LUC requires "one tree per forty feet along a side lot line parking setback area". Please see
photos A thru E for existing vegetation surrounding the parking lot. Although only one large tree
exists, there are several smaller trees and shrubs. There is an existing cable TV line and electric
lines in this area as well as existing metal clothesline poles. Adding a tree in this area will
prohibit the use of the existing clothesline and restrict the use of the only grass area in the back
yard, as mentioned above.
The intent of the `parking lot perimeter landscaping' is to provide shade and screening, mitigate
air pollution and conflict of uses, and reduce glare and heat build-up. The existing vegetation
adequately meets this intent.
For further information, explanation, site photos, etc. please contact my office at any time.
Some of the photos in the exhibit do not pertain to this request but are related to other site
concerns regarding existing vegetation.
Thank you,
Trista R. Sigler
