Box 580 • Fort Collins, CO 80522-0580 • (303) 221-6750 CONCEPTUAL REVIEW STAFF COMMENTS MEETING DATE: February 1, 1993 ITEM: Boarding House at 706 E. Stuart St. APPLICANT: Dick Kyle 2800 Worthington Drive Fort Collins, CO 80526 LAND USE DATA: This is a proposal for a boarding house for up to 17 international/college students in an existing house located at 706 E. Stuart Street. The property is located in the RM, Medium Density Residential, Zoning District. The two story house is approximately 8,000 square feet in size and located on.1.5 acres. There is also a two story garage, attached to the house by breeze way, which is proposed to be altered to house,up to 8 students. COMMENTS: 1. The proposed use is not allowed in the RM Zoning District and would therefore have to be reviewed as a Planned Unit Development (PUD) and evaluated against the All Development Criteria of the Land Development Guidance System. The Residential Point Chart would be used to evaluate the land use (see attached information). 2. If you need to increase the size of the electrical panel you will have to pay for the KVA upgrade. Please complete the Commercial (C-1) Form and return it to Light and Power so they can determine the service that you will need for this use. Any transformer upgrades or system modifications will be at the developer's expense. 3. Please provide a letter with your submittal to address proposed increase in the amount of impervious surface that the project would create. Also indicate on the plan, the general direction of run-off flows. If you do not anticipate any increase in the amount of run-off or impervious surface, please state this in the letter and place a note on the plans, to this effect. 4. The property is in the Spring Creek Basin. Stormwater development fees are $1804.00 per acre of additional impervious surface. 5. There is floodplain and flood fringe on the. property. There are specific design restrictions for construction in these areas. Please contact Glen Schlueter at 221-6589 for more information. F . i . `y 6. Any damaged curb, gutter, or sidewalks should be repaired or replaced at this time. 7. The change of use to a multi -family rated building, will require certain upgrades to comply with the current building code. Please contact Sharon Getz at 221-6760 when you have more information and a floor plan for the Building Department to review. 8. The Fire Authority has an access concern if the "breeze way" is a solid room with doors, as opposed to a covered open walkway with lattice work, as it is now. Code requires that there be emergency access of 150' to the back of the building, from the front, on either side. The building may be just out of access if the breeze way can not be used by emergency personnel. 9. The are also Fire Code requirements for a fire hydrant within 400' of the building. If there is not a hydrant at this time, one will have to be put in along Stuart Street at the developer's expense. 10. A traffic study will be required. There was one submitted with the Springwood Institute PUD which could be revised to reflect the change of use. The study should focus on traffic patterns that would result from this use, the number of trips to and from the use per day, the case of all international students with a 1 car in 10 ratio versus the all American students with a higher ratio of cars per student, as well as the critical issue of parking. Matt Dellich at 669-2061 submitted the previous study. 11,. Parking and the intensity of the land use in this neighborhood are the greatest concerns. 12. A neighborhood meeting will be required, please see attached information on neighborhood meetings. I can schedule a meeting as soon as I have the "affected property owners" mailing labels. 13. Portions of the property have not been platted, therefore the property would need to be platted. A subdivision plat was submitted with the previous PUD, but the plat was never finalized. A significant amount of work was done on the plat so you may want to have that plat finalized, rather than begin on a new one.
