Since there's no driveway or parking area proposed between the building and the alley, the 5' setback standard applies. Comment Number: 6 Comment Originated: 02/12/2013 02/12/2013: The city wide Stormwater development fee (PIF) is $6,390.00/acre ($0.1467/sq.ft.) for new impervious area over 350 sq.-ft., and there is a $1,045.00/acre ($0.024/sq.ft.) review fee.

Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 02/08/2013 02/08/2013: The existing water service to the property is a 3/a-inch service extending from the main in Grant. It appears that the existing sewer service connects to the sewer main in Olive. Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 02/08/2013 02/08/2013: There are two possible options for water/sewer service to the carriage house. Services separate from the existing primary residence may be installed connecting to the City mains, or if both residential buildings will be on the same lot and under the same ownership and if the dwelling unit near the alley meets the definition of a carriage house, water and sewer service may be extended from the primary residence to the carriage house provided the conditions of City Code Sections 26-94 and 26-256 are met.

An exhibit showing the existing and proposed impervious areas with a table summarizing the areas is required prior to the time fees are calculated for each building permit. Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 02/12/2013 02/12/2013: In the Old Town drainage basin a drainage and erosion control report and construction plans are required if there is an increase in impervious area greater than 5000 square feet on an existing development. They must be prepared by a Professional Engineer registered in Colorado. If there is less than 5000 square feet of new impervious area on an existing development, a drainage letter along with a grading plan should be sufficient to document the existing and proposed drainage patterns. Also when there is less than 5000 but more than 350 square feet of new impervious area; a site grading and erosion control plan is required instead of a complete construction plan set. Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 02/12/2013 02/12/2013: Water quality treatment is also required as described in the Fort Collins Stormwater Criteria Manual. Extended detention is the usual method selected for water quality treatment; however the use of any of the BMPs is encouraged.

Please contact Basil Harridan at 224-6035 or bhamdan@fcgov.com for more information. The present draft requires that 50% of the new impervious area must be treated by an LID method and 25% of new parking lots must be pervious. Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 02/12/2013 02/12/2013: The drainage ouff all for the site is the alley or the streets since there are no public storm drains in the area. proposal is not required to improve the alley, as an exemption was created for carriage houses in certain zone districts, which includes this zone. Should the applicant desire to improve the alley, a design for review and approval would be required in conjunction with the project. Comment Number: 9 Comment Originated: 02/12/2013 02/12/2013: There is an existing overhead utility that traverses the property along the alley. Section 3.3.2(D)(7)(b) requires that the line be undergrounded abutting the property, or can remain overhead provided that conduit is installed abutting the property to help accommodate future undergrounding.

Based upon the submitted design, since no garage is proposed, the 5' setback is acceptable from an engineering standpoint.

Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 02/11/2013 02/11/2013: With respect to landscaping and design, the City of Fort Collins Land Use Code, in Article 3.2.1 (E)(2)(3), requires that you use native plants and grasses in your landscaping or re landscaping and reduce bluegrass lawns as much as possible.
