HomeMy WebLinkAboutNESBITT PROPERTY (135 N. SHIELDS ST.) - PDP - 5-07 - CORRESPONDENCE - CORRESPONDENCE-CONCEPTUAL REVIEW (3)floodplain regulation requirements. However, there is still a flood risk and we encourage the owner to take measures to protect the new structure from flood damage. The Stormwater Utility can assist with recommendations about how to achieve this. Contact: Susan Hayes, 416-2233 Water Wastewater Contact Info: Roger Buffington, 221-6854, rbuffington@fcgov.com 1. There is a 10" water line and an 8" sewer line in Shields. There is also an existing sewer line in the vacated alley to the north. Please locate this utility and provide a 15' easement on either side of it. 2. The front and back units will need to have separate water and sewer accounts. We can probably split the lines and add a meter at the front of the property so you won't have to go into Shields, where street cut fees would apply. Transportation Planning Contact Info: Dave Averill, 416-2643, daverill@fcgov.com 1.

This site is in the Old Town drainage basin where the new development fee is $4,150.00/acre which is subject to the runoff coefficient reduction. This fee is to be paid at the time the building permit is issued and is charged only when there is an increase in imperviousness greater than 350 square feet. 2. A drainage and erosion control report and construction plans are required and they must be prepared by a Professional Engineer registered in Colorado. In the Old Town drainage basin these are required if there is an increase in imperviousness greater than 5000 square feet. 3. Onsite detention is required with a 2 year historic release rate for water quantity and extended detention is -required for water quality treatment: - Parking lot detention is allowed as long as it is not deeper than one foot. If there is 5000 square feet or less of new imperviousness, water quantity detention is not required nor is water quality extended detention. If there is an increase in imperviousness greater than 350 square feet, a grading plan is all that is required. If it can be shown that the total imperviousness, including one-half any adjacent streets or alleys, is equal to or less that the master plan imperviousness, the report and detention requirements are waived. 4. Comment from Floodplain Administrator - The following comments assume the location of the proposed carriage house is at the back of the lot. This site is affected by the revised Canal Importation floodplain. The current GIS map shows the back portion of the lot is in the 100-year High Risk floodplain. Based on the proposed mapping from the Sheldon Lake project, this lot will be entirely in the 100-year Moderate Risk Zone. Therefore, there will be no 3 CONCEPTUAL REVIEW STAFF COMMENTS City of Fort Collins ITEM: Addition of a carriage house at the rear of the existing house at 135 N. Shields MEETING DATE: November 15, 2004 APPLICANT: Matt Nesbitt 401 West Mulberry St. Fort Collins, CO 80521 LAND USE DATA: Request to add a carriage house behind the existing single family residence at 135 N.

Carriage houses are permitted in the NCL District, subject to a Type 1 Administrative Review. 2. Please review the maximum square footage allowed for carriage houses in the code. Basically, the living area needs to be no more than 600 square feet on the second floor and you can have either a one or two car garage below. 3. You'll need to provide one parking space per bedroom in the carriage house. Engineering Contact Info: Susan Joy, 221-6605 ext. 7128, sjoy@fcgov.com 1.

COMMUNITY PLANNING AND ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES 2Q N. College Ave. P.O. Box 580 Fort Collins, CO80522-0580 (970) 221-6750 CURRENT PLANNING DEPARTMENT 4 � � Stormwater Utility — responses in blue are from Glen Schlueter Will a *new development fee* be required? Yes, but it has changed and is now S3, 070.00/acre or $0.0705/sq ft. and is multiplied times the new impervious areas. This is the building or roof footprint, driveways, patios, sidewalks, etc that you are adding. It is included in your buildingpermit fees. Regarding impervious surfaces and the runoff coefficient reduction: The existing overall lot is 0.344 acres with 1336 sq. ft. of existing buildings plus approximately 517 sq. ft. of existing porch and sidewalk. The proposed carriage house would be a 612 sq. ft. increase in impervious surface (footprint plus 3x4 conc. stoop). Total impervious of the site = 2665 sq. ft. - You need to include the driveway if it is being paved. I am assuming the comment #2 *drainage and erosion control report* is not required as we have not increased imperviousness greater than 5000 sq. ft. - Correct I am assuming comment #3 *Onsite detention* is not required as we have not increased imperviousness greater than 5000 sq. ft - Correct Regarding the grading plan requirement: I have assumed a flow line in the center of alley and a 4% slope from the garage. I don*t know what the *master plan imperviousness* is for this lot. Can the *report and detention requirements be waived*? - The masterplan imperviousness doesn't apply as long as you are below the 5, 000 sgft. of new imperviousness and the report and detention requirements are waived as stated above. We do need to have a grading plan that shows the lot corner elevations, building finished floor elevations, any grading "breakpoints " elevations along he alley where the driveway meets the alley, and arrows indicating the flow direction both, existing and proposed I am attaching a handout that describes what is needed. Please submit it to Jay Barber at 700 Wood St. At the time you want to get your Certificate of Occupancy Jay will determine if a Grading Certification by an Engineer is required or whether just a site inspection is enough. Water Wastewater After meeting with Roger Buffington, I am confident easement concerns have been met. With the disclosure of the proposed building location to the south and the distance from the existing easement, establishing a 15' easement on either side of the utility will not be required. The water and sewer accounts will be separate per city requirements as shown on the site plan. The following is my response to the letter dated November 19, 2004 from the City of Fort Collins conceptual review meeting on November 15, 2004. Zoninsz: There should be no problems providing adequate parking as it is only a one bedroom apt. There is a carport and a 1 car garage. Engineering: I don't believe there is an issue regarding street oversizing or that a Transportation Impact Study (TIS) will be necessary. The existing alley access has been established as a utility and access easement. The original alley was vacated in 1977 with Ordinance 147. An easement was retained with the same ordinance as stated "for all utility lines now in place in such vacated alleys including the right to service, remove, replace, repair and reconstruct such utility lines and right to access thereto." After several conversations with Carrie at the PFA I am confident we can come to a viable resolution for an emergency. There are hydrants on Laporte and Mountain. I am also amenable to installing a sprinkler system. Obviously I would prefer not to as it is cost prohibitive, but I don't want this to be the hold up. Light and Power: The electric service requirement for the new load shall be addressed by a licensed electrical contractor. Existing options shall be assessed and the requirements for a dual service on site will be satisfied.
