Box 580 • Fort Collins, CO 80522-0580 • (303) 221-6750 CONCEPTUAL REVIEW STAFF COMMENTS MEETING DATE: July 23, 1990 PROJECT: Housing Authority two lots on Matuka.Ct. APPLICANT: CDS Engineering Corp., Dave Woutersz, 100 W. 29th St, Loveland, CO., 80538. LAND USE DATA: There are two lots with existing fourplexes. The proposal is to divide these two lots into three in order to add a duplex between the existing two fourplexes. COMMENTS: 1. The property is zoned RLM, low density multifamily, duplexes are an allowable use. There are enough engineering and utility issues to consider this request as a Subdivision as opposed to a Minor Subdivision/Administrative Review. The project must meet the minimum requirements of the RLM, Low Density Multifamily, zoning district or must be submitted as a Planned Unit Development (PUD). 2. Minimum lot area shall be the equivalent of three times the total floor area of the buildings, but not less than 6,000 sq. ft. for a duplex and not less than 9,000 sq. ft. for a fourplex. Minimum lot width shall be 60' for a duplex and 75' for a fourplex. Minimum depth of the front yard shall be 20' and minimum depth of the rear yard shall be I5'. 3. For duplexes the minimum side yard shall be 15' on the street side of any corner lot and 5' on all interior side yards. For fourplexes the minimum side yard width shall be the equivalent of 1' per 3' of building height _prov_ ided that a _side yard on the street side of any corner lot shall not be less than 15 feet and on all interior sides the setbacks shall not be less than 5 feet. 4. There was a suggestion made to place the proposed building up against the power line easement to gain the minimum front yard depth. 5. Parking standards require at least 2 spaces per unit for duplexes on lots with less than 40 feet of street frontage. Each fourplex unit with 2 bedrooms requires at least 1.75 parking spaces, each fourplex unit with three bedrooms requires at least 2 parking spaces. Eighteen to twenty parking spaces would be required for combined parking for the three buildings. 6. All open off-street parking lots containing 6 or more parking spaces or 1800 square feet, must meet parking lot setback requirements, screening and landscaping requirements, and bicycle and handicapped parking requirements. Please sce the attached Parking lot requirements. 7. You will need to replace the drainage inlet or in some way get the drainage to work with the new parking areas. With the replat of lots please vacate old and dedicate new easements with specific vacation language. Mike Herzig in the planning office can assist you with this language. 8. With no gas provided to the site, all heating will be through City Light and Power. Power is available to the project via a transformer located between lots 11 and 18 at the rear corner. Existing easements should be utilized. The Fort Collins Housing Authority is responsible for any modifications and new services provided to the site as a result of the proposed development. Please contact Doug Martine at 221-6700 for more information on fees and charges. 9. There are existing water and sewer mains in Matuka Court, the developer will be required to install any new taps that are needed for this project. 10. A drainage report will need to be submitted to explain how storm water will be handled on the site and how it will be carried to the existing drainage easement on the southern boundary of the site. This report should also address erosion control for the outfall structure as well as during construction. The City Storm Water Utility has purchased a strip of land which runs south of this property, for a drainage Swale. The timing of the City's construction of this swale and the development of this duplex project should be coordinated or temporary drainage measures may be needed. Please contact the Storm Water Utility (221-6589) for more information. 11. It would be preferable, design wise, to place the building as far to the south of the site as possible (to the power easement, if possible). This would allow for parking to be located in the front and connect to the two existing parking lots. By creating a loop drive/parking. area, using the 2 existing curb cuts, there would be the opportunity to landscape the area between the curb. cuts with trees, shrubs, grass, and planting beds. Small landscaped islands between the parking lots for the fourplexes and the duplex, on both sides, would break up the visual impact of 3 large parking _.__areas in front of these buildings. 12. The Planning Department is recommending that a neighborhood meeting be held to get neighborhood input on this project.
