ts-and-file-naming-standards_v1_8-1-19.pdf?1703783275

All plans should be saved as optimized/flattened PDFs to reduce file size and remove layers.
Per the Electronic Submittal Requirements AutoCAD SHX attributes need to be
removed from the PDF’s.
AutoCAD turns drawing text into comments that appear in the PDF plan set,
and these must be removed prior to submittal as they can cause issues with the PDF file.
The default setting is "1" ("on") in AutoCAD. To change the setting and remove
this feature, type "EPDFSHX" (version 2016.1) or “PDFSHX (version 2017 and
newer) in the command line and enter "0".

The request will be subject to the Development Review Fee Schedule:
https://www.fcgov.com/developmentreview/fees.php.
I will provide an estimate of the initial fees to begin the development review
process based on your Conceptual Review Application. As noted in the
comments, there are additional fees required by other departments, and
additional fees at the time of building permit. The City of Fort Collins fee
schedule is subject to change – please confirm these estimates before submitting.
Development Review Application Fees will be due at time of the project being
submitted for formal review. If you have any questions about fees, please reach out to me. (Acknowledged)

Submittals are accepted any day of the week, with Wednesday at noon being
the cut-off for routing the same week. Upon initial submittal, your project will be
subject to a Completeness Review. Staff has until noon that Friday to determine
if the project contains all required checklist items and is sufficient for a round of
review. If complete, a formal Letter of Acceptance will be emailed to you and the
project would be officially routed with its initial round of review, followed by a
formal meeting. Please check with me, your Development Review Coordinator, regarding review timelines.
As you are preparing to submit your formal plans, please notify me with an
anticipated submittal date. Applications and plans are submitted electronically
to me by email or secured file sharing applications.

08/13/2024: NO HISTORIC REVIEW REQUIRED: This proposal does not
require historic review because there are no designated historic resources on
the site and the nature of the project does not impact any historic resources that
may lie on the development site or within 200 feet of the site. (Acknowledged)

08/15/2024: LCUASS standards require an 8' utility easement to be dedicated
beyond the alley right-of-way. However, there are too many existing structures to
make a full connection down the alley feasible, and the exiting ROW of Smith
and Olive more than exceeds the minimum ROW needed for local residential
streets. So this requirement is waived. (Acknowledged)
Comment Number: 2
08/15/2024: At this time, Engineering Development has no further comment. If
this project evolves to include any proposed work within existing right-of-way or
easements, please feel free to reach out to me at jgerwel@fcgov.com. Thank you. (Acknowledged)

08/16/2024: INFORMATION:
There are no concerns with the lot merger; however, this approval does not
include any approval of building. Prior to any development, or issuance of any
building permits, stormwater requirements will need to be met. For an
accessory structure (non dwelling unit), a grading plan will be required, at
minimum, and may require a drainage memo stamped by a professional
engineer, please reference for more information:

Comment Number: 2
08/27/2024: We need a better understanding what the office space will be
used for. Is this a business? This could initiate the need for its own service. Do
you anticipate wanting a separate service for this or are you going to feed it
from the existing home service panel? Response Comments: The new accessory building will be for
personal use only. There will be a small kitchenette with refrigerator, microwave and a hotplate but no
oven/stove. It is the builder’s intention to run power from the existing house service panel.
Comment Number: 3
08/27/2024: If the office space is going to include a kitchen then the following
comment applies: The Carriage House would be required to be individually
metered and will require its own service. Electric capacity fees, development
fees, building site charges and any system modification charges necessary to
feed the site will apply to this development.
