The site is zoned Low Density Mixed-Use Residential (LMN) and more that four tenants are permitted subject to an Administrative (Type 1) review and public hearing [LUC 4.5(B)(2)(7)]. Please see the following summary of comments regarding the project request referenced above. The comments offered informally by staff during the Conceptual Review will assist you in preparing the detailed components of the project application. Modifications and additions to these comments may be made at the time of formal review of this project. If you have any questions regarding these comments or the next steps in the review process, you may contact the individual commente^gr direct your questions through the Project Planner, Steve Olt, at 970-221-6341 orsolt@fcqov.com. Comment Summary: Department: Zoning Contact: Gary Lopez, 970-416^2338, qlopez@fcqov.com 1. The width of the lot frontage as measured along the street is actually greater than 65'. It measured to approx. 68'. A portion of the property is located along the cul-de-sac curvature which the 68' includes though as a right angle or straight line the width of the lot is approx. 61'. Thus the provision in LUC 3.2.2(K)(1)(j) allowing for tandem parking for one of the min. 4 vehicle spaces cannot apply. The single car wide garage space cannot be used for one of the parking spaces. The min. width of a 4 veh. space driveway is 34' thus an additional 8.5' width of concrete is required above what is existing and proposed. 2. Section 20-105(d) of the City's Municipal Code limits the parking of vehicles to 40% of the front yard area. It is questionable if a 34.5'j^ide driveway along with a 19' minimum depth will not exceed the 40% limit. It is doubtful that this along with the limited on-street parking in the cul-de-sac will cause staff to support the extra occupancy application for 5 individuals. 3. We would recommend that the applicant instead request through basic development review an extra occupancy home for up to 4 individuals requiring the width of 25.5' for the driveway the applicant is suggesting.

If there are no changes to the existing water or sewer services, there are no comments at this time. Department: Stormwater Engineering Contact: Glen Schlueter, 970-224-6065, gschlueter@fcgov.com If the driveway is to be added as part of the proposal, a drainage report/letter is required if the increase in impervious is more than 1000 square feet. The letter needs to discuss the impacts to the drainage system. If there are major impacts some mitigation would be required. The application indicates the driveway will follow the "current drainage" so a simple grading plan needs to be included as part of the letter to document the grading. Water quality treatment is required as described in the Urban Storm Drainage Criteria Manual, Volume 3 Best Management Practices (BMPs). (http://www.udfcd.org/downloads/down_critmanual_vollll.htm) In cases like this disconnection of impervious areas and running the roof runoff into landscape areas are ways to meet this requirement. 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. No fee is charged for existing impervious area. These fees are to be paid at the time each building permit is issued. Information on fees can be found on the City's web site at http://www.fcgov.com/utilities/business/builders-and-developers/plant-investment-development-feesor by contacting Jean Pakech at 221- 6375. There is also an erosion control escrow required before the Development Construction Permit is issued. The amount of the escrow is determined by the design engineer, and is based on the site disturbance area or a minimum amount in accordance with the Fort Collins Stormwater Design Criteria. The design of this site must conform to the drainage basin design of the Spring Creek Basin Master Drainage Plan as well the City's Stormwater- Design Criteria. l!
