2. What will the new dimensions be of each parcel? There is a minimum lot size

the 517 E. Magnolia lot.

Comment Summary:
Department: Zoning
Contact: GaryLopez, 970-416-2338, glopezc( fcgov.com
1. As these are lots are already platted and no additional lots are created a non -regulated
property land transfer with property line adjustment might be the only requirement. A
new legal description for both properties must be given to us which was recorded at the
courthouse. Now there may be some other considerations I've not been made aware of in requiring a
re -plat. - Understood
2. Without seeing the proposed lot line adjustment or re -plat my only comment is that any
noncompliant standards such as setback, floor area ratios, etc. cannot exceed or
increase the current non-compliance. In other words the lot line change cannot result in
a standard being further out of compliance then it already is. An example would be the
south property line at 517 E Magnolia. It can move south but not north as it is
considered the rear property line which requires a 15' setback. Currently the rear
setback appears to be about 12' so the new rear setback can never be less than 12' -Understood
3. If the change requires a reduction of lot frontage a minimum of 40 feet is still required for
any lot frontage. Similarly the new lot at 517 E Magnolia can never be less than it's
current lot size which appears to be 4500 s.f. Obviously the applicant is attempting to
enlarge the lot so I'll stop belaboring the point. - Understood
