HomeMy WebLinkAboutBRIDGEFIELD P.U.D. - PRELIMINARY - 45-94 - SUBMITTAL DOCUMENTS - ROUND 1 - VARIANCE REQUEST (3)3. Accordingly, 55 of our 99 lots (53%) comply with the solar
orientation ordinance, however , we fall 12% short of the required 65%
compliance.
Therefore, we respectively request a variance to the solar ordinance
permitting 12% (11 lots) non-compliance and finding that 53% (55 lots)
compliance is satisfactory.
The basis for this variance request is Section 29-627 (a), Subsections (1)
and / or (2) which authorize Planning and Zoning Board to grant variances
in the event that exceptional conditions peculiar to the site result in
hardship caused to subdivider if solar ordinance is strictly applied
(Subsection 1) and in the event that exceptional conditions or difficulties
exist with regard to solar orientation which will cause hardship to
subdivider if solar ordinance is strictly applied, (Subsection 2).

RE Bridgefield / Solar Orientation Variance Request
Dear Planning and Zoning Board Members:
Our Bridgefield project is limited by certain preexisting constraints that
affect our ability to comply with the solar orientation ordinance.
1. This is an in -fill project subject to the following preexisting
geographic constraints:
a) There is a single access from West Prospect Road at the
north.
b) There is an outlot (adjacent single family residence) at the
northeast corner which must be respected.
c) There is a ditch (Larimer County Canal #2) which bisects
the property east - west creating an approximate eight -sided parcel north
of the ditch and an approximate triangular shape parcel at the south of the
ditch.
2. The street and lot layout is dictated by our ability to reasonably
access houses and results in an east loop plus west loop configuration
north of the ditch and a loop configuration south of the ditch. In addition,
there are five lots at the south of parcel accessing off Stuart Street
which present no problems and meet solar orientation requirements.
