PROJECT: 420 West Oak Street, R-H Conversion to Office/Duplex
APPLICANT: Mr. Don Richmond
DATE: November 14, 1990
PROJECT PLANNER: Ted Shepard
QUESTIONS, CONCERNS, COMMENTS
1. The meeting began with a presentation by Don Richmond who is the owner,
occupant, and applicant for the project. The home is presently used by
Mr. Richmond as a resident and home occupation on the first floor, and a
rental apartment on the second floor. Under the Home Occupation section
of the City of Fort Collins Zoning Code, Mr. Richmond is allowed to have
one employee. Any expansion of his architectural practice would violate
the Home Occupation code. In order to preserve the ability to expand and
add employees, Mr. Richmond is applying to the Planning and Zoning Board
to allow a conversion of a residence in the R-H, High Density Residential
zone, to an office use.
2. Mr. Richmond explained the site plan, the parking arrangement, the
location of other offices in the neighborhood, and the access off the
paved alley.
The Following Comments Pertain to Mr. Richmond's Presentation:
3. How large is the lot and how large is the house?
RESPONSE: The lot is 11,000 square feet. The house has 1,000 square feet on the
first floor, and 800 square feet on the second floor.
4. What are the other non-residential uses on the block?
RESPONSE: On the east is an attorney's office. On the north, is an automotive
repair facility and Larimer County Youth Services office.
5. Will there be handicap parking access?
RESPONSE: Yes, there will be a ramp leading from the parking lot to the north
entrance.
6. Will the City allow parking to be double stacked as indicated?
RESPONSE: No, double stacked spaces will not be counted. It is anticipated that
the architectural practice will grow slowly over time and there will not be a
demand for parking that exceeds supply.
7. Will the parking area remain in gravel?
RESPONSE: No, the gravel will be replaced with a product known as "turf -block"
which will provide a surface that will be green but will support vehicles.
8. Will there be any access to Sherwood Street?
RESPONSE: No.
9. Are there any plans to remodel the exterior?
RESPONSE: Yes, the long range plan is to add a solarium on the southern
elevation which faces the street. This will be done with sloped roofs and
residential building material.
10. Those attending the meeting expressed their approval of the concept. It
appears that the proposal will not have a negative impact on the
surrounding area. The use of a business to generate income to improve the
property is seen as having a positive effect on the neighborhood, and will
help stabilize or enhance property values.
