9. Historic Preservation
a.-e. The property is located in the historic Laurel School District. The
owners of the property have participated in an historic preservation
program at the state level with contributions as the licensed
architect and contractor of record for the Baker Residence at 720
Peterson Street, (one block South of 611 Peterson Street).
720 Peterson Street is also within the Laurel School District and was included in
the Fort Collins historical home tour in 1995. The Studio/Carriage house at the
rear of that property was also designed by Kreul-Froseth Architects and is
published in Traditional Neighborhood Design published by Townplanning
Collaborative, Minneapolis, Minnesota.
The owners are also interested in creating a townhome project
which is sympathetic to the architectural elements of the existing
home on Peterson Street. Specific design considerations and
architectural elements include the planned overall scale and
massing of the townhomes. The gable slopes are steeply pitched
and end in a "catslide" covered porch with arched openings and
wrought -iron rail designed in a similar motif to the existing home.
The element of horizontal line with contrasting segmental arch
openings also speak to the existing features facing Peterson Street.
Front porches will include an area for outside seating as a functional
entry feature and porch to emphasize entrance. Fenestration will be
similar in proportion to the existing home architecture. Exterior
material for the townhomes will be a lap siding and heavier trim at the
header conditions. The overall emphasis will not be to re-create
historic architecture and building techniques, but to emphasize sympathetic
overall architectural elements and appropriate scale which provides character
and interest in the context of traditional neighborhood design concepts.
10. Current Planning:
a. The Zoning District was noted as incorrect as listed in the Conceptual Review
Staff Comments. It has been determined that NCM is the correct Zoning
District.
b. A five foot wide landscape strip is planned between the alley right -of -way and
the parking lot.
c. A direct pedestrian path is planned to connect the primary entrances to the 3-
plex townhomes. Pedestrians would therefore, not be required to go around
any building.
d. It is noted that staff will determine what type of review is allowed at the time of
formal submittal of a development review application according to the
Conceptual Review Staff Comments
a. Water and Wastewater Utility:
a. Noted 16-inch water and 15-inch sewer in Peterson; 8-inch sewer W of property.
b. Each building is planned to have separate water/sewer services. An easement will be
included which crosses the adjoining lot. The proposed 3 plex water will extend from
Peterson Street in the planned connecting easement from Peterson Street to the 3
plex.
c. The sewer for the existing residence connects to Peterson Street. The sewer for the 3
plex will connect from the existing alley sewer.
d. It is noted and agreed that the standards for landscape and irrigation applies to the
project and plant investment fees and waters rights will be due at the time of building
permit.
5. Natural Resources
a. No trees will be removed from the site.

hauler that is used by the majority of owners in the area will be used at the existing
scheduled time to reduce traffic impact.
c. Native plant materials have been specified to minimize loss, maintenance and
irrigation requirements.
d. Construction of the project has been planned to last a maximum of 6 months time
6. Fire Department
a. The address of townhomes A,B and C, will be visible on a column (see landscape
plan), to meet fire department standards.
b. The townhome units are planned with sprinkler systems
c. A fire hydrant exists within 300 feet of the planned townhomes. Capacity must be
verified.
7. Light and Power
a. It is noted that the electric service to the existing house will be located
under the new townhomes and will be relocated at the owners
expense
b. An existing transformer is located on the side of the apartment building next door.
c. Development charges are noted as approximately $3,000 including the relocation
charge.
d. Light and Power will be contacted to coordinate a meter location
e. All power service lines are located in easements.
8. Transportation:
a. Eric Bracke was contacted to determine any traffic study requirements will be required.
He stated that nothing is required for a 3 plex.
b. There will be direct bicycle and pedestrian access to Peterson Street from the
townhomes as indicated on the site plan.
c. Bicycle parking for the townhomes is planned and indicated on the site plan.
Written Documents
611 South Peterson Street Project Development Plan
(b) South % of lot 5 block 146 City of Fort Collins
(f) Owners of Record: Bruce M. Froseth and Susan Kreul-Froseth
(g) Attachment A: conceptual review letter
addressed issues:
1. Zoning Department:
a. The proposed development would be replatted into two lots.
b. The lot for the existing single family house would be 5,000 square feet
c. The lot for the 3-plex is 7,000 square feet with a total site area of 12,000 square feet
d. Each 2-bedroom unit in the 3-plex has 2.0 parking spaces
e. The parking space that is closest to the alley has a 5-foot wide buffer between the
alley and the parking space
f. Bicycle parking is provided in the proposal
g. 6% of the area of the parking lot consists of a landscaped area.
h. The total height of unit B at the gable peak is 28 feet at the location closest to the side
setback. The building was set back an additional 5 feet for a total of 10 feet from the
property line to accommodate height restrictions. Special conditions apply due to
finished floor elevation requirements existing on the site and the focus upon
architectural compatibility with the existing house built in 1900-1930. The front gable
of the existing house is steeply pitched and includes a "catslide" extending over the
arched entry. The new townhomes were designed to compliment the existing
interesting and unusual stylized Tudor Revival features of the house.
2. Stormwater Utility Department:
a. The fee is noted for the Old Town drainage basin in inventory grid #81
b. Floodplain planning is demonstrated by: a) no basements planned b) no crawl
spaces are planned c) A HEC-2 analysis shows a no -rise d) No existing structures
are incorporated into the plan.
c. A standard drainage and erosion control report and plans have been prepared by a
professional engineer registered in Colorado. (See drainage and erosion control
information attached).
3. Engineering Department:
a. Matt Baker has indicated that an amount of $901.00 /unit for townhomes is required for
the oversizing fee for the proposed project.
b. It is noted that there maybe a requirement for ROW and/or easement dedication along
the front property line along Peterson as part of the replat.
c. The alley is paved and improved to Myrtle Street

(i) A statement of planning objectives
Appropriate City Plan Principles and Policies: taken from City Structure Plan (Fort Collins'
Comprehensive Plan) Advance Planning and Environmental Services Web Site Information
A) Compact Development Pattern: 611 S. Peterson is a large city lot with higher density
development surrounding it. Presently the rear of the lot is vacant with the exception of a small
storage garage (see site plan). The surrounding area and proposed infill project fits the city
key principle of promotion of growth within a compact development pattern.
B) Neighborhoods: South Peterson Street is an established Eastside neighborhood with the
infrastructure in place. The property was originally included as a contributing element of the
Laurel School Historic District (5LR463). The proposed development site is within 1,300 feet
of the Colorado State University Campus. It within walking distance to downtown shopping
areas, the City of Fort Collins Library and park is located within 2,600 feet and the Peterson
Street fire station is within 300 feet of the project. Elementary schools within walking distance
are Laurel Elementary and Harris Elementary. Centennial High School is within 200 feet of the
site.
Employment centers, medical and recreational facilities are all conveniently
nearby.
(ii) Description of proposed open space, buffering, landscaping, circulation, transition areas,
wetlands and natural areas on site and in the general vicinity of the project
