Design Variance Request
Chad,
At your request, we respectfully submit the below justification for the variance requests for
placing the electrical meters within the building.
Identify Issue:
1) The proposed electrical meters’ for each dwelling unit is shown on the electrical risers
to be located within the building. Per Clause 8.1.1 of Electric Service Standards for City
of Fort Collins Utilities, the location of meters and metering equipment are to be readily
accessible as close to the street side of the structure as possible and are not to be in an
enclosed or fenced area of the property.
Justification:
1) For the residential building, per clause 8.1.2 the metering equipment for individual
dwelling units cannot be placed on the exterior due to egress window wells and
windows.
2) For the retail building placing the meters outside will interfere with traffic, sidewalks
and driveways which would violate clause 8.1.2 of Electric Service meters.
