Re: Single Family Extra Occupancy Rental at 516 Deines Court
Description of project: This is an extra occupancy request for five tenants in a single-
family detached dwelling unit located at 516 Deines Court. The site is zoned Low
Density Mixed-Use Residential (LMN) and more than four tenants are permitted subject
to an Administrative (Type 1) Review and Public Hearing (LUC 4.5(B)(2)(7)).
Comments were offered informally by staff during the Conceptual Review and have
assisted rne in preparing the detailed components of the project application and I have
the following responses to the informal staff comments:
Department: Zoning

The width of the lot frontage is greater than 65'. The provision in LUC 3.2.2(K)(1)(j) that
allows for tandem parking if the lot frontage is less than 65'.
My original proposal for tandem parking assumed that the width of the lot is 61', and that
the provision applied; per communications in November. However, the lot frontage is
greater than 65' and the previous communications were incorrect. As such, my proposal
has been amended and no longer includes tandem parking. Instead, I will incorporate
the existing driveway into a widened parking area that meets the four vehicle minimum
width of 34' and the 19' minimum depth. This newly incorporated driveway would
comprise 39% of the total front yard, conforming to the 40% limit. The front yard area is
2309 square feet (sf). The current parking area is 479sf, or 21% of the front yard. The
proposed total parking area is 902sf, or 39% of the front yard.

No changes will be made to the existing water or sewer services.
Department: Stormwater Engineering
Contact: Glen Schlueter, 970-224-6065, qschlueter@fcgov.com
The driveway to be added, 423sf, is less than 1000 square feet and the drainage and
grading will follow the current drainage and grading. The impervious areas will be
disconnected and the roof runoff will be directed into landscape areas. The city wide
Stormwater development fee (PIF) for the new impervious area is $62.05. The review fee
is $10.15. These fees will be paid at the time of building permit application submittal, as
well as a separate plan for Stormwater engineering. I spoke with Jesse Schlan on 2/14/12
and was told that no further fees apply as long as the contractors do not wash out debris
into the storm sewer. I will be on site and insure that this does not occur and that the
concrete is washed out in an environmentally proper manner.
Department: Environmental Planning
Contact: Lindsay Ex, 970-224-6143
I am meeting with Tim Buchanan, City Forester, at 1pm on 2/23/12 to determine any
mitigation requirements as a result of the development impacts.
Department: Engineering Development Review
Contact: Marc Virata, 970-221-6567, mvirata@fcgov.com
I spoke with Matt Baker on 2/14/12 and was told that Larimer County Road Impact Fees
and Street Oversizing Fees were not applicable as long as no curb, gutter and sidewalk is
damaged during on private property only construction. Any damage will be immediately
repaired or replaced. No changes need to be incorporated into the curb, nor gutter nor
sidewalk to accommodate the driveway changes as the current gutter system is roll over.
The City's Transportation Development Review Fee (TDRF) and application will be
submitted with the Project Development Plan Package.
I have contacted both the City's Traffic Engineer, Joe Olson, and will incorporate any
requirements that he deems necessary.
I spoke with Aaron Iverson and was told that Transportation Planning has no applicable
requirements for this project.

Although not required to hold a neighborhood meeting for this Type 1 hearing, I prefer to
ease the concerns of the neighbors, if possible. As such, I will hold a neighborhood
meeting. I have read the entire Fort Collins Land Use Code (LUC) and believe that this
proposal meets all of the requirements set forth in the LUC.
