Project Title: Casa de Corazon
General Information: The additional structure will be added on the northwest corner of
the .26 acre lot known as 1605 Peterson Place. The property is located in LMN zoning
and zoning will not change with this project. The project will contain no commercial
space. The home will be one story with crawl space at 912 square feet. There will be
two off street parking spots. No Land Use code modifications are being proposed.
Proposed Owners: Shannon Corrough, owner of 1605 Peterson Place, Fort Collins,
CO 80525. No additional partners or managers or additional owners apply.
Existing Owners: Shannon Corrough, existing owner of 1605 Peterson Place, Fort
Collins, GO 80525. There are no other additional owners of the property.
Transportation Improvements: No traffic will be impacted with the addition of the
structure to my property.
Neighborhood Meeting: No Neighborhood Meeting is required for this project.
Site Design: The structure will be placed on the northwest corner of the property.
Vehicles will enter the property on the west side. There is no anticipation that this
project will disturb any pedestrian flow. All landscaping on the property will be
xeriscaped including fake grass to the south of the front door, recycled concrete for the
driveway and either rock or mulch surrounding the west, north and east sides of the
structure.
Natural Habitats: No disturbances to wetlands, natural habitats or wildlife apply to this
project.
Transition Techniques: I am not aware of any transition techniques, associating
buffering, or any existing and proposed land use mitigation during this project.
Architectural Design: The new structure will follow along the lines of the original
structure. I chose the 1937 original home because of its unique features including,
Spanish style, arched doorways, and lots of light. I am hoping to continue that style in
the new structure. I appreciate the historic nature and design of the original home and
hope to emulate that with the new structure.
M
Design Priorities and Goals: The most important aspect of my design is Aging in
Place. Fort Collins has been my home since 1994 and I hope to continue to live in this
wonderful place. I am planning to retire in this home and to support my elderly parents
for visits and care if needed. We are keeping the home design and landscaping as
simple and environmentally efficient as possible. I am also hoping this design will keep
the home as low maintenance as possible. I plan to xeriscape almost the entire
surrounding area including fake grass for a small patch in the patio area to the south of
the front door. I will use stucco for the exterior to cut down on maintenance and to
align with the original structure. I plan to meet or exceed energy efficiency codes with
all major appliances including an on demand water heater. I will continue that efficiency
goal with all major appliances, toilets, and lighting. I have a goal to put solar on the
south facing roof within the short term future. I will also use energy efficient windows
and doors within the design. My goal with the whole project has been to keep it simple,
efficient and long term. The intent of the additional structure is to make it my home and
rent the front home. My property is four blocks from CSU and within biking distance of
Old Town and would add to the housing/rental needs in town. I will live on the property
and' continue to take care of my property.
