Temporary Service Changes - City of Fort Collins Development Review In order to continue providing thorough reviews and giving every project the attention it deserves, the City of Fort Collins is implementing temporary changes in how we serve our development customers. As you may be aware, we are experiencing staff shortages in a number of key departments, which has begun to impact the quality and timeliness of our reviews. We recognize that development and construction play a critical role in our community’s vibrancy and economic recovery, and we have been exploring options for mitigating impacts to our customers. As a result, we will be making some temporary service changes. Beginning Monday April 12 one additional week of review time will be added to all 1st and 2nd round submittals (increase from 3 weeks to 4 weeks). Planning Services Contact: Kai Kleer, 970 -416 -4284, kkleer@fcgov.com 1. The most impactful comment related to this site is that a maximum of 40% of the front yard of a lot may be covered with inorganic material such as asphalt or cement concrete, paving stone, flagstone, rock or gravel. It appears that the entire lot is gravel and considering that the property is a corner lot, it would apply to both sides of the home that fronts on the street. 2. Regarding off-street parking, it will be required to demonstrate 4 off -street spaces at a dimension of 9x19. It appears from the site plan that the site will be able to accommodate this. Site plan attached with 4 off-street parking spaces of 9 x 19 attached. 3. It is recommended that the applicant coordinate with building to determine interior requirements are met. Ceiling height is often a challenge for older homes and it may be something that might prohibit getting a Certificate of Occupancy for the site. I have spoken to Russel Holland about this on 5/10/21. Please see note under Building Code Review. Department: Historic Preservation Contact: Jim Bertolini, 970 -416 -4250, jbertolini@fcgov.com 1. PRESUBMITTAL: At conceptual review, the applicant is responsible for working with City staff to determine if any structures on the development site and, when relevant, within 200 feet of the development site, are designated historic resources or are eligible for historic designation [LUC 3.4.7(B)(2)]. Structures subject to this requirement must be at least 50 years old. This process involves ordering historic property surveys if no such documentation has been produced for the property in the last five years. POTENTIAL FEE: Any historic survey that is required to provide documentation and a determination of eligibility of properties that contain buildings more than 50 years old, within 200 feet of the development site, will require an $850 fee/property, payable by the applicant. After consultation with the owner, due to the circumstances of the project, Historic Preservation is waiving the survey requirement and $850 survey fee on the condition that the project remain consistent with the design requirements of LUC 3.4.7 (Secretary of the Interior's Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties). Owner can opt to complete historic survey at any time - typically takes 4-6 weeks. I do not think this is necessary at this time, 2. CODE REQUIREMENTS FOR HISTORIC RESOURCES ON AND NEAR DEVELOPMENT SITE: If any resources on the development site are identified as historic resources through the survey and records review process, the project must include a rehabilitation and adaptive reuse plan for those structures pursuant to Land Use Code Section 3.4.7(B), to the maximum extent feasible, or satisfactorily meet the requirements for a modification of standards following the requirements of Division 2.8 of the land use code. 3. PROJECT NOTES: Addition of new basement entry on rear/north elevation appears consistent with Standards. Modification of windows for energy performance cannot modify main floor window openings or replace siding. Replacement of existing window units is strongly discouraged to reduce construction waste, save on costs, and preserve a significant architectural feature. Cost comparison tool available on Preservation website. Repair of existing windows and addition of storm windows recommended combining repair, insulation, and storm windows. Recommendations routed to owner on April 22. Will transmit window repair recommendations to applicant. Significant modifications outside of this scope may require completion of Historic Survey requirement ($850 fee) We will retain old windows and repair as needed. 4. HISTORIC INFORMATION: Property was built in 1932 along with the garage. Undefined basement remodel in 1946 appears to have established the over -under duplex use, and likely involved the front/south basement stair and finished basement. By 1948, two households appear in city directories at this address in all future years. Department: Engineering Development Review Contact: Spencer Smith, 970 -221 -6603, smsmith@fcgov.com 1. Generally, Engineering has no comments on the proposed project. The following comments are general information and some would apply if there are any public improvements proposed or required for the project. As per discussion during the conceptual review meeting, there are no public improvements on the proposed project. Items below are noted and we will comply if necessary. 2. This project is responsible for dedicating any easements and/or rights -of-way that are necessary or required by the City for this project. From the submitted site plan, it appears that there will need to be an access easement and a utility easement dedicated to the applicant by the City. The applicant will be required to submit legal descriptions and exhibits to the City to review as part of this project. The legal descriptions and exhibits will need to be prepared by a licensed Colorado Land Surveyor. A completed Transportation Development Review Fee application and associated fees will need to accompany the submittal of the legal descriptions and exhibits. Please coordinate with Engineering Development Review staff regarding the easement dedication process. Additional information on the dedication process can be found at: http://www.fcgov.com/engineering/devrev.php 3. All necessary permitting will be required of any proposed work/improvements within the public right-of-way, prior to construction. 4. Larimer County Road Impact Fees and Transportation Expansion Fees are due at the time of building permit. Please contact Kyle Lambrecht at (970)-221-6566 if you have any questions. 5. The City's Transportation Development Review Fee (TDRF) is due at the time of submittal. For additional information on these fees, please see: http://www.fcgov.com/engineering/dev - review.php 6. Any damaged curb, gutter and sidewalk existing prior to construction, as well as streets, sidewalks, curbs and gutters, destroyed, damaged or removed due to construction of this project, shall be replaced or restored to City of Fort Collins standards at the Developer's expense prior to the acceptance of completed improvements and/or prior to the issuance of the first Certificate of Occupancy. 7. All public sidewalk, driveways and ramps, existing or proposed, adjacent or within the site, need to meet ADA standards. If they currently do not, they will need to be reconstructed so that they do meet current ADA standards as a part of this project. 8. Any public improvements must be designed and built in accordance with the Larimer County Urban Area Street Standards (LCUASS). They are available online at: http://www.larimer.org/engineering/GMARdStds/UrbanSt.htm 9. All fences, barriers, posts or other encroachments within the public right -of-way are only permitted upon approval of an encroachment permit. Applications for encroachment permits shall be made to the Engineering Department for review and approval prior to installation. Encroachment items shall not be shown on the site plan as they may not be approved, need to be modified or moved, or if the permit is revoked then the site/ landscape plan is in non-compliance. 10. Bike parking required for the project cannot be placed within the right -of-way and if placed just behind the right-of-way need to be placed so that when bikes are parked they do not extend into the right-of-way. 11. With regards to construction of this site, the public right -of-way shall not be used for staging or storage of materials or equipment associated with the Development. The Developer will need to find a location(s) on private property to accommodate any necessary staging needs associated with the completion of the Development. Information on the location(s) of these areas will be required to be provided to the City as a part of the Development Construction Permit application. Department: Fire Authority Contact: Marcus Glasgow, 970 -416 -2869, marcus.glasgow@poudre - fire.org 1. FIRE LANES Fire access is required to within 150 feet of all exterior portions of any building, or facility ground floor as measured by an approved route around the perimeter. For the purposes of this section, fire access cannot be measured from an arterial road. Any private alley, private road, or private drive serving as a fire lane shall be dedicated as an Emergency Access Easement (EAE) and be designed to standard fire lane specifications. It does not appear that a new fire lane or additional access will be required with this project as all portions of the building are within 150 feet of the public street. 2. WATER SUPPLY Hydrant spacing and flow must meet minimum requirements based on type of occupancy. A fire hydrant capable of providing 1000 gpm at 20 psi residual pressure is required within 400 feet of any residential building as measured along an approved path of vehicle travel. For the purposes of this code, hydrants on the opposite side of arterial roadways are not considered accessible to the site. The nearest hydrant is across Myrtle Street on the Southwest corner and meets these requirements. 3. ACCESS TO BUILDING OPENINGS An approved access walkway leading from fire apparatus access roads to the main egress door of the building shall be provided for the carriage house on this site. Please provide details on site plan for the access walkway. 4. PREMISE IDENTIFICATION: ADDRESS POSTING & WAYFINDING Where possible, the naming of private drives is usually recommended to aid in wayfinding. Addresses shall be posted on each structure and where otherwise needed to aid in wayfinding. Code language provided below. -IFC 505.1: New and existing buildings shall have approved address numbers, building numbers or approved building identification placed in a position that is plainly legible, visible from the street or road fronting the property, and posted with a minimum of eight-inch numerals on a contrasting background. Where access is by means of a private road and the building cannot be viewed from the public way, a monument, pole or other sign or means shall be used to identify the structure and best route. Per discussion during the conceptual review, #1-4 already exists. Department: Electric Engineering Contact: Austin Kreager, 970 -224 -6152, akreager@fcgov.com 1. As you mentioned in your submittal, this property already has two electric meters. This will meet our standards if this converts to a legal duplex. 2. In the very near future, there are changes anticipated to go into effect that will transfer ownership of duplex services over to the property owner. Therefore, if the work to rewire the structure comes with a service upgrade, it will be up to you and your electrician to replace the service wire. We will submit all electrical plans with the rest of the plans. 3. You may contact Austin Kreager, project engineering if you have questions. (970) 224-6152.

If tree removal is necessary, please include the following note on the tree mitigation plan and landscape plan, as appropriate: "NO TREES SHALL BE REMOVED DURING THE SONGBIRD NESTING SEASON (FEBRUARY 1 TO JULY 31) WITHOUT FIRST HAVING A PROFESSIONAL ECOLOGIST OR WILDLIFE BIOLOGIST COMPLETE A NESTING SURVEY TO IDENTIFY ANY ACTIVE NESTS EXISTING ON THE PROJECT SITE. THE SURVEY SHALL BE SENT TO THE CITY ENVIRONMENTAL PLANNER. IF ACTIVE NESTS ARE FOUND, THE CITY WILL COORDINATE WITH RELEVANT STATE AND FEDERAL REPRESENTATIVES TO DETERMINE WHETHER ADDITIONAL RESTRICTIONS ON TREE REMOVAL AND CONSTRUCTION APPLY." There are no plans for tree removal in this project. 2. INFORMATION ONLY: City of Fort Collins Land Use Code [Section 3.2.1 (E)(3)], requires that to the extent reasonably feasible, all plans be designed to incorporate water conservation materials and techniques. This includes use of low -water-use plants and grasses in landscaping or re -landscaping and reducing bluegrass lawns as much as possible. Native plants and wildlife -friendly (ex: pollinators, butterflies, songbirds) landscaping and maintenance are also encouraged. Please refer to the Fort Collins Native Plants document available online and published by the City of Fort Collins Natural Areas Department for guidance on native plants is: http://www.fcgov.com/naturalareas/pdf/nativeplants2013.pdf. Also see the City of Fort Collins Plant List : https://www.fcgov.com/forestry/plant_list.pdf. 3. INFORMATION ONLY: Our city has many sustainability programs that may benefit this project. Of particular interest may be the: 1)Solar Rebate Program offers up to $1500 in rebates to Fort Collins Utility customers for the installation of solar PV: www.fcgov.com/solar, contact Rhonda Gatzke at 970 -416 -2312 or rgatzke@fcgov.com 2)Integrated Design Assistance Program offers financial incentives and technical support for new construction and major renovation projects. Must apply early in the design phase: http://fcgov.com/idap, contact David Suckling at 970 -416-4251 or dsuckling@fcgov.com Department: Forestry Contact: Nils Saha, , nsaha@fcgov.com 1. FORESTRY TREE INVENTORY What site changes are proposed/anticipated? There are existing trees on site, including four street trees. Please schedule an on-site meeting with City Forestry (nsaha@fcgov.com) to obtain tree inventory and mitigation information. Please note that existing significant trees should be retained to the extent reasonably feasible. This meeting should occur prior to first round of formal submittal. Forestry recommends scheduling the on -site tree inventory as early in the design process as possible. Nils Saha has provided us with the tree inventory and has been incorporated in the landscape plans. 2. If applicable, please provide an “Existing Tree Removal Feasibility Letter” for City Forestry staff to review. Proposals to remove significant existing trees must provide a justification letter detailing the reason for tree removal. This is required for all development projects proposing significant tree removal regardless of the scale of the project. The purpose of this letter is to provide a document of record with the project’s approval and for the City to maintain a record of all proposed significant tree removals and justifications. Existing significant trees within the project’s Limits of Disturbance (LOD) and within natural area buffer zones shall be preserved to the extent reasonably feasible. Streets, buildings and lot layouts shall be designed to minimize the disturbance to significant existing trees. (Extent reasonably feasible shall mean that, under the circumstances, reasonable efforts have been undertaken to comply with the regulation, that the costs of compliance clearly outweigh the potential benefits to the public or would unreasonably burden the proposed project, and reasonable steps have been undertaken to minimize any potential harm or adverse impacts resulting from noncompliance with the regulation.) Where it is not feasible to protect and retain significant existing tree(s) or to transplant them to another on-site location, the applicant shall replace such tree(s) according to City mitigation requirements. No trees will be removed. 3. Please provide a landscape plan that meets the Land Use Code 3.2.1 requirements. This should include the existing tree inventory, any proposed tree removals with their locations clearly noted and any proposed tree plantings (including species, size, quantity, and method of transplant). The plans should also include the following City of Fort Collins notes: ♣General Landscape Notes ♣Tree Protection Notes ♣Street Tree Permit Note, when applicable. These notes are available from the City Planner or by following the link below and clicking on Standard Plan Set Notes: https://www.fcgov.com/developmentreview/applications.php Required tree sizes and method of transplant: Canopy Shade Tree: 2.0” caliper balled and burlapped Evergreen tree: 6.0’ height balled and burlapped Ornamental tree: 1.5” caliper balled and burlapped Required mitigation tree sizes: Canopy Shade Tree: 2.0” caliper balled and burlapped Evergreen tree: 8.0’ height balled and burlapped Ornamental tree: 2.0” caliper balled and burlapped 4. LUC standard for Tree Species Diversity states that in order to prevent insect or disease susceptibility and eventual uniform senescence on a development site or in the adjacent area or the district, species diversity is required and extensive monocultures are prohibited. The following minimum requirements shall apply to any development plan: Number of trees on site Maximum percentage of any one species 10-19 50% 20-39 33% 40-59 25% 60 or more 15% The City of Fort Collins’ urban forest has reached the maximum percentage of the following species. Ash (Fraxinus), Honeylocust (Gleditsia triacanthose: ‘Shademaster’, ‘Skyline’, etc), Bur Oak (Quercus macrocarpa), and Chanticleer Pear (Pyrus calleryana). Please note that additional species might join this list as we work through the review process. 5. Please provide a typical right-of-way detail per transects that includes locations of utilities (gas, water, electric, communication, cable, fiber option, sewer etc.), street lights, driveways (if applicable) and street trees. Standard tree -utility separation distances currently used per Land Use Code standards are preferred and are as followed: Street Light/Tree Separation: Canopy shade tree: 40 feet Ornamental tree: 15 feet Stop Sign/Tree Separation: Based on feedback from Traffic Operations, it is preferred that trees be planted at least 50 feet from the nearest stop sign in order to minimize conflicts with regulatory traffic signs. While the 50 feet of separation is not officially codified yet, Traffic Operations has indicated that the current standard of 20 feet does not provide adequate stop sign clearance. Driveway/Tree Separation: At least 8’ from edges of driveways and alleys Utility/Tree Separation: 10’ between trees and electric utilities, public water, sanitary, and storm sewer main lines 4’ between trees and gas lines 6. Tree Planting Standards. All developments shall establish groves and belts of trees along all city streets, in and around parking lots, and in all landscape areas that are located within fifty (50) feet of any building or structure in order to establish at least a partial urban tree canopy. Full tree stocking shall mean formal or informal groupings of trees planted according to the following spacing dimensions: Tree Type Minimum/Maximum Spacing Canopy shade Trees 30'-40' Coniferous evergreens 20'-30' Ornamental trees 20'-30' Exact locations and spacings may be adjusted at the option of the applicant to support patterns of use, views and circulation as long as the minimum tree planting requirement is met. 7. Per LUC 3.2.1 (D) (c), canopy shade trees shall constitute at least fifty (50) percent of all tree plantings. 8. Each landscape island should be 8’ in its smallest dimensions to allow for tree root growth (LUC 3.2.1 5©). Department: Building Code Review Contact: Russell Hovland, 970 -416 -2341, rhovland@fcgov.com 1. Any home built after 1924 has been required to get a building permit when finishing a basement. This home does not show any basement finish permit. A permit in 2008 was issued in 2008 for 3 new egress windows was completed, however that permit does not legalize the basement as finished. If this change to duplex will be to over/under with 1 dwelling being in the basement, part of the required permit should include an after-the-fact finish of the entire basement. Historical records show 2 permits 1) 8/2/1943 Permit # 7459 for Remodeling and 2) 1/2/1946 Permit # 8779 Remodel Basement 2. HOUSE TO DUPLEX CONVERSION: All new work, and the new dwelling unit must comply with the current adopted codes and local amendments. A building permit is required for this conversion and must meet the current 2018 IRC building code. Plans are included for a whole house remodel since we have had to remove all asbestos in the house and need to put in new plumbing and electrical work. If at any point in time, work was completed without an approved permit, show that work on the plans (unpermitted work will need to meet current code and may require corrections). Corrections should not take place until the review is complete and the permit is approved / issued. Each dwelling unit must have its own direct exterior exit/entrance door, (Primary means of egress/entry cannot pass through another dwelling or a garage). Each unit must have a separate heating system (no shared air), with controls in each unit. This currently exists Each dwelling must have a kitchen with a cooking appliance. This currently exists Each dwelling must have a bathroom (including a toilet + a sink + a tub or shower). This currently exists and we will be adding one more bathroom on each floor. Each bedroom must have a code compliant emergency escape and rescue opening such as a properly sized window, or door directly to the exterior. This already exists and permitted Smoke and carbon monoxide alarms are required to be installed per the current IRC Building code. Present as required by code A licensed general contractor and licensed subcontractors are required. (A homeowner cannot perform work that requires a permit at a non-primary residence/unit unless they are a contractor who is licensed to do so). Remodeling work will be done by licensed contractors Unit Fire Separation: A 1-hour dwelling separation is required between the units. (This usually requires a separation wall with 5/8” type x gypsum board both sides of a wall, to the roof deck, or a double layer 5/8” gypsum board on the ceiling of a lower unit. This is in the architectural plans A two-family dwelling/duplex conversion (including a remodel or an addition) does not require a fire sprinkler system installation/retro fit per R313.2 exception. (A brand -new duplex does require a fire sprinkler system). Department: Technical Services Contact: Jeff County, 970 -221 -6588, jcounty@fcgov.com 1. As of January 1, 2015, all development plans are required to be on the NAVD88 vertical datum. Please make your consultants aware of this, prior to any surveying and/or design work. Please contact our office for up to date Benchmark Statement format and City Vertical Control Network information. 2. If submitting a replat is required for this property/project, addresses are not acceptable in the Subdivision Plat title/name. Numbers in numeral form may not begin the title/name. Please contact our office with any questions. Department: Erosion Control Contact: Chandler Arellano, (970) 420 -6963, carellano@fcgov.com 1. No Comment from Erosion Control. Based upon the submitted Planning Materials it has been determined that this project; will disturb less than 10,000 sq. ft., is not proposed to be in a sensitive area, has no steep slopes (greater than 3H:1V) within or adjacent to the project, and is not part of a larger common development that will or is under construction. Therefore, no Erosion Control Material submittal is needed. If this project substantially changes in size or design where the above criteria now apply, erosion control materials should be submitted. Though the project at this time requires no erosion control material submittal, the project still must be swept and maintained to prevent dirt, saw cuttings, concrete wash, trash debris, landscape materials and other pollutants from the potential of leaving the site and entering the storm sewer at all times during the project in accordance with City Code 26 -498. If complaint driven or site observation of the project seem not to prevent the pollutant discharge the City may require the project to install erosion and sediment control measures. Nearby inlets that may be impacted by the pollutants, in particular dirt, should be protected as a good preventative practice and individual lots should be protected from material escaping onto the sidewalk. If at building permit issuance any issues arise please email erosion@fcgov.com to help facilitate getting these permits signed off.
