To whom it may concern:
Enclosed is a copy of the letter sent to the owners of the home at
921 East Prospect Road. You will note that they have been given
until September 10, 1992, to remedy any non-compliance with City
Code.
The next step is daily observation of the property so that if a
summons is issued and you are called upon to testify in municipal
court, you will be able to provide factual evidence to support your
contention that a business is being operated from this address. It
is advisable to maintain written records of those things which you
observe that support the notion that there is a business being
operated from the property at 921 East Prospect Road.
These records, preferably in the form of a daily log, should
commence on August 20, 1992, and continue for at least 30 days.
The City of Fort Collins neither promotes nor condones trespassing
or harassment of persons associated with this property while
gathering these records. Hopefully the owners of this property
will take care of the situation without the need for further action
on your part. However, if you see that this violation continues
past the September 10, 1992, deadline, please call me immediately.

Daniel L. Coldiron

A complaint has been filed regarding the use of the property you
own at 921 East Prospect Road. This property is located in an R-P

property include home occupations (Section 29-222(1), 29-132, 29-
457, and 29-459), Code of The City of Fort Collins.
According to the complainants, a plumbing business is being
operated from the home at 921 East Prospect Road. Loud noise and
heavy odors associated with that business are said to be quite
noticeable at the adjacent properties.
Any time a property is used in whole or in part for the purpose of
conducting a business,_ the property must comply with the home
occupation ordinance of the city. Based on information supplied by
the complainants, it would seem that the business being conducted

of the ordinance:
1. Section 29-459 (11) - requires that a home occupation
shall be allowed only after a Home Occupation License has
been obtained from the City Zoning Office. Our records
indicate that no such license has been issued.
2. Section 29-459 (6) - prohibits exterior storage of
material or equipment used in connection with the
business. All equipment or materials kept on the
property must be stored inside the dwelling unit or
attached garage.

offensive noise, vibration, smoke, dust,c odor, heat, or

compliance with City Code, September 10, 1992, has been set as a
deadline for compliance.
