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 Contact: Gary Lopez, 970-416-2338, qlopez@fcgov.conn 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. Department: Water-Wastewater Engineering Contact: Roger Buffington, 970-221-6854, rbuffington@fcgov.com 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. Department: Current Planning Contact: Steve Olt, 970-221-6341. solt@fcgov.com 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.
