Department: Zoning Topic: zoning Issue Contact: Peter Barnes 1 Their "Request for Modification" narrative needs to mention that the project is to constuct an addition in order to convert the existing duplex into a triplex. The narrative also needs to state the specific side setback modification requested. For example, "the modification request is to reduce the required side setback along the west lot line from 5' to 3.25' and along the east lot line from 8' to 3.5"'. (The east lot line along the alley is considered to be an interior side lot line, and the required east setback is 8' instead of 5' since 4.7(E)(4) requires a minimum of 5' setback for the first 18' in wall height, and then an additional 1' setback for each additional Tor fraction of extra height. Since the new wall height on the east side appears to be 23', an 8' setback is required). It appears that the narrative is relying on the hardship criteria rather than the equal to or better than. But the east side setback modification could be considered under the equal to or better than since the purpose of the side setback is promoted equally well since the east side abuts an alley rather than a residential lot. 2 The site plan needs to include parking information - number of parking spaces. This should be added to the list containing the other land use information. (it appears there are 7 spaces counting the one in the garage). Be sure and return all of your redlined plans when you re -submit.

Also, note the zoning comments regarding the modification request. Department: Engineering Issue Contact: Katie Moore Topic: General 22 If the ROW at the corner of the alley and Mountain has already been dedicated to the city, then the property line should be shown as the diagonal edge of that ROW. Please provide the reception number for the dedicated ROW 23 According to the Larimer County Urban Area Street Standards, a garage setback of 8' from the ROW is only allowed if the fence/wall is set back at least 8' as well. See Figure 7-11 F. A variance request is required concerning the placement of the garage door. It is recommended that the door be brought flush with the wall of the building (closer to the alley), and that the variance request be addressed in this manner. The variance request must be submitted according to LCUASS standards, and signed and stamped by a professional engineer. 24 A variance request is also required because of the requirement to have an 8' utility easement beyond the alley ROW. 25 When looking at the utility/site plan and the elevations, the statement that the building footprint will not change does not appear to be true. Please show the accurate building envelope on the plans. 26 The two legal descriptions provided on the site plan do not match; they refer to two different blocks. 27 Please add the indemnification statement and the PE statement to the plans. A licensed professional engineer (hired by you) must sign and stamp the plans at the time of approval. 28 If any cuts must be made into the alley or the street, they must be repaired according to standards.

Explain that there's no change to the existing southern half of the building from the approved condition. • Explain that the physical changes proposed are to remodel the ground floor of the northern half of the building and to build a second story to that northern half. • Explain in this text box that a modification to section 4.7(E)(4) is part of the request in order to reduce the setback from the west property line from 5 feet to 3.25 feet, and to reduce the setback from the east property line from 8 feet to 3.5 feet. 34 Increase the size of the elevation sheet to 24" x 36.". Upon approval of this major amendment both the site plan sheet and the elevation sheet will need to be provided to us on mylar, and the only size we accept is 24" x 36." 35 You will need to submit revisions. See the attached routing sheet for the number of copies. Because the issues are reletavely minor, and the number of departments with issues are reletavely few, we will reduce the review time of the re -submittal to a two -week turn around. 36 The modification request needs to justify the request in accordance with the specific criteria in the LUC available to grant such a modification. These criteria can be found in section 2.8.2(H) of the LUC. The specific standard citation you are requesting to modify must be stated. Section 2.8.2(H) of the LUC states the following: The Planning and Zoning Board may grant a modification of standards only if it finds that the granting of the modification would not be detrimental to the public good; and that: (1) the plan as submitted will promote the general purpose of the standard for which the modification is requested equally well or better than would a plan which complies with the standard for which a modification is requested; or (2) the granting of a modification from the strict application of any standard would, without impairing the intent and purpose of this Land Use Code, substantially alleviate an existing, defined and described problem of city-wide concern or would result in a substantial benefit to the city by reason of the fact that the proposed project would substantially address an important community need specifically and expressly defined and described in the city's Comprehensive Plan, or in an adopted policy, ordinance or resolution of the City Council, and the strict application of such a standard would render the project practically infeasible; or (3) by reason of exceptional physical conditions or other extraordinary and exceptional situations, unique to such property, including, but not limited to, physical conditions such as exceptional narrowness, shallowness or topography, or physical conditions which hinder the owner's ability to install a solar energy system, the strict application of the standard sought to be modified would result in unusual and exceptional practical difficulties, or exceptional or undue hardship upon the owner of such property, provided that such difficulties or hardship are not caused by the act or omission of the applicant.

Which is it? 31 Don't use the Planning and Zoning Board signature block. It does not apply to this type of approval, so take it off the Site Plan. Leave the Director of Planning Signature Block on the Site Plan, it is the correct one to use for this type of planning approval, even though it goes to a P&Z hearing. Also add the owner's certification block on the Sie Pan. See the attached example of an owner's certification block. 32 There are two columns of general notes on the site plan. Label the general notes on the left as "Utility Notes," and the ones on the right "Landscape Notes." 33 Add a text box on the site plan labeled "Project Description" that includes the following information: Page 1
