PROJECT NARRATIVE
PROJECT TITLE: Additional Dwelling Unit (ADU) at 205 S Whitcomb Fort Collins, CO 80521;
Lot # 971134004, 9483 sq ft
Current and “Proposed” Owners: Lori and Danny Feig-Sandoval, 806 W Magnolia St 80521
Existing and Proposed Zoning: OTB Medium
Past meeting Dates: Conceptual Design Review, June 5, 2025
Number of Dwellings: One existing primary residence and One proposed ADU
Off Street Parking Spaces: One now on pavers in front of the existing house; two in new garage
Commercial Space: NONE
Number of Stories in proposed new construction: One and half: Ground level two-car garage w/
stepped-in ADU above, with vaulted roof.
We are eager to contribute to Old Town Fort Collins a well-designed smaller rental unit, in the
form of this ADU, to provide a less expensive but well-built and well-maintained housing option
for one person or perhaps a couple, which is walkable or bikeable to most of anyone’s needs.
We will welcome potential renters of any age or occupation, from grad students to retirees, and,
further in the future, this addition to the property may be of exceptional use for us as we age.
Should we ever need to leave our current two-story home, to go live at 205 S Whitcomb in the
existing primary residence (which has a wheelchair accessible shower and wide doorways), we
could have a caretaker live on the premises in the ADU. Obviously, in addition to the benefit for
us, this would be a bonus for any future owners of this property, including our own adult son who
rents the primary house now.
We received a variance in 2024 giving us permission to attach our new structure to the existing
structure enabling us to keep our new building within the Arthur Irrigation Ditch required
setback.
Thank you for your time in reviewing this application for Building and Design Review.
Sincerely,
Lori and Danny Feig-Sandoval
