Justification: Section 3.8.11(A) requires that “fences and sections of fences that exceed one hundred (100) feet in length shall vary the alignment or setback of at least one-third (1/3) of the length of the fence or fence section (as applicable) by a minimum of five (5) feet,” for fences used along collector or arterial streets to avoid creating a “tunnel effect.” The south and west fences of this project do not face a collector or arterial street. The south fence faces the adjacent lot to the south and the west fence faces the adjacent alley. Please let me know if you have any questions or comments. Thank you for your time and consideration. Sincerely, Don Shields Project Manager WG Architects p.o. box 270788 fort collins, co 80527 p. 970.493.2025 f. 970.493.2026 dons@wgarchitects.com www.wgarchitects.com April 24, 2017 Mr. Clay Frickey City Planner City of Fort Collins 281 North College Ave. Fort Collins, CO 80524 Re: Variance Request Evergreen Park - Office and Vehicle Minor Repair Lots 15 and 16 of Evergreen Park (parcel #’s 9701213015 and 9701213016) We would like to request a Modification of Standards to Section 4.28(E)(3)(a)2. (E) Development Standards (3) Site Design (a) Screening 2. A minimum thirty-foot deep landscaped yard shall be provided along all arterial streets, and along any district boundary line that does not adjoin a residential land use. If a district boundary line abuts upon or is within a street right-of-way, then the required landscaped yard shall commence at the street right-of-way line on the district side of the street, rather than at the district boundary line. This requirement shall not apply to development plans that comply with the standards contained in Section 3.5.3 of this Code. Reason: The parcel is bordered on the west by a 20 foot wide alley and the lots to the west of the alley are zoned Service Commercial District (CS). The Land Use Code (LUC) requires that a minimum 30-foot deep yard shall be provided along any district line that does not adjoin a residential land use. We ask for a Modification of Standards to allow for a 20 foot buffer (10 foot half-alley + 10 foot landscape area) with a 6 foot high fence along the entire length of the west property line. The Raw Urth Designs development at the northwest corner of Conifer Street and Red Cedar Circle was granted a similar modification. Thank you for your consideration.
