Carnahan Subdivision
3006 Rockborough Court
Fort Collins, CO 80525
Description of ProjectThe project consists of a replat of three existing lots located at 3006 Rockborough Ct, 2937 Eindborough Dr, and 3001 Eindborough Dr (parcel #8730210049; 8730210060;
8730210059). The proposal is to change the rear lot lines of the three parcels to enlarge the lot for 3006 Rockborough Ct to 11,300 sf. All three parcels are owned by the same party.
Access is taken from Rockborough Ct directly to the southeast and Eindborough Dr directly to the east. The property is within the Low Density Residential (RL) zone district and is subject
to a Basic Development Review.
Request to modify standardLand Use Code 4.4(D)(2)(c): Dimensional Standards, minimum setback of rear yard
Minimum setback of the rear yard shall be fifteen (15) feet, except that the minimum setback of alley-accessed garages shall be six (6) feet.
Modification Request
The project is requesting a 10% reduction in the required rear setback from 15ft. to 13.5ft. The plan as submitted meets criteria number 4 for modification requests and will not diverge
from the intended standards of the Land Use Code except in a nominal, inconsequential way.
Description and Explanation
The new property line has a section that runs at a diagonal to the property. The dimension in question is a diagonal dimension taken from the corner of the house to thisnew angled property
line.The diagonal dimension (13.5ft) is well within the side setback minimum (5ft) but falls short of the rear setback minimum (15ft). As this dimension has been determined to be controlled
by the rear setbacklimits, a modification is requested. Because the rear setback dimension increases as you move along the angle, the shortcoming only occurs for a few feet beyond the
corner of the property. The request is for a nominal 10% reduction for this section of the corner of the lot, and thus keeping the three property lines all converging at a single point.
