HomeMy WebLinkAboutREMINGTON ANNEX - MOD. OF STANDARDS - MOD120002 - REPORTS - CORRESPONDENCE-HEARING (4)Karen McWilliams, a Historic Preservation Planner for the City, offered the following comments: a. The properties are already designated on the National Register of Historic Places and the Colorado Register of Historic Properties, as part of the Laurel School National Register District. Also, the project is located near other, already designated Fort Collins Landmarks, including 700 Remington. Therefore, Section 3.4.7 of the Land Use Code would apply to the review of any development occurring on or adjacent to these properties. b. Additionally, some of the subject properties may qualify for individual designation as Fort Collins Landmarks. If found to be individually eligible, then again, Section 3.4.7 would apply, including 3.4.7(B). A Determination of Eligibility is done to assess a building's eligibility. I have attached an explanation of the process. * An official Determination of Eligibility for the property at 701 Remington Street has not been done; however, it is my opinion that this property would qualify for individual Fort Collins Landmark designation. * The Determination of Eligibility for the property at 705 Remington Street was done in April 2008, and the property was determined to not be individually eligible. * An official Determination of Eligibility for the property at 711 Remington Street has not been done; however, it is my opinion that this property would also qualify for individual Fort Collins Landmark designation. * An official Determination of Eligibility for the property at 715 Remington Street has not been done; however, it is my opinion that this property would not qualify for individual Fort Collins Landmark designation. C. Section 3.4.7 — Historic and Cultural Resources of the LUC will apply to this development proposal. d. This development proposal, for multi -family housing, is a Type 2 review. It would not need to go to the Landmark Preservation Commission for decisions — decisions will be made by the Planning and Zoning Board, with recommendations by staff.

Development fees and water rights will be due at building permit. Credit will be given for existing services. Please contact Roger, at 221-6854, if you have questions about these comments. 4. Glen Schlueter of the Stormwater Utility offered the following comments: a. There does not seem to be an area on the site for runoff detention. If there an increase in imperviousness greater than 5,000 square feet then on -site detention is required with a 2-year historic release rate for water quality. This is not to be interpreted to mean that 5,000 square feet of new impervious area is allowed and that detention is required for the rest above that. Rather, it means that if the project can limit the increase to 5,000 square feet, on -site water quantity detention is not required. Parking lot detention for water quantity is allowed as long as it is not deeper than one foot. Rooftop detention is allowed, and green roofs are another alternative. b. The outfall for drainage is the street. The closest storm sewer is at the northeast and northwest corners of Plum Street and Remington Street. C. In the Old Town drainage basin, a drainage and erosion control report and construction plans are required if there is an increase in impervious area greater than 5,000 square feet. If there is less than 5,000 but more than 350 square feet of imperviousness, then a site grading plan is all that is required. These must be prepared by a Professional Engineer registered in the State of Colorado. d. The street and alley flow depths need to be calculated to show that there is at least one foot of freeboard from the surface of the stormwater runoff to the entrance to the underground parking. 2 CONCEPTUAL REVIEW STAFF COMMENTS �cxtY�Foa�cotu� Please contact the Poudre Fire Authority (PFA) for their emergency access needs. j.

Also, the applicant will need to be able to excavate and construct the building without getting on the neighbor's property. The development cannot stage in or obstruct public ROW (Remington Street and the alley).

Furthermore, the Colorado State Historic Preservation Office classifies this property as an "intrusion" within the laurel School District. Therefore, you may alter or demolish the buildings without further Historic Preservation review, once you have complied with all other applicable City requirements. Please contact me if your have any questions regarding this decision. Sincerely, Karen McWilliams Karen McWilliams, Preservation Planner Advance Planning Department P.O.

This letter is written in response to your communication, dated August 11, 20l 1, and received in our office on August 15, 2011, regarding the above project 705 R.emington: This property was evaluated under Cbapteal4. Article 4, of the Municipal Code (fievently referred to as the Demolition/Alteration Review Process) in April 20082 and was found to not be iadividuelly eligtble•for Fort Collins Isndmaric designation. A copy of the April 9, 2008 letter is enclosed. once all other applicable City regulations have been complied with, a property owner may receive a demolition permit for this property, subject to any applicable fidrue changes in City reg"Ons. 711 Rearm : As requested in your August 11, 2011 letter, the eligibility of this property for Fort Collins Landmark designation has been evaluated under Chapterl4, Article 4, of the Municipal Code. The Director of Community Development and Neighborhood Services and the designee of the Chair of Dark Preservation Commission have both determined that the building meets the criterion for individual Fort Collins Landmark designation. T homfore, prior to any demolition of this building, the application will need to comply with all applicable City rules and regulations, including Ch%*wI4, Article 4, of the Municipal Code, and Section 3.4.7 of the Land Use Code. A copy of this determination of eligibility is enclosed. 715 Remington: According to the Larimer County asseasoes, records, this Molding was constructed in 1963, and is therefore not yet 50 years of age. Therefore ChaptarM, Article 4, of the Municipal Code does not apply to this building. Once all other applicable City regulations have been complied with, a property owner may receive a demolition permit for this property, subject to any applicable fiture chi in City regulations. As noted above, the Remington Street Multi -Family Housing project will need to comply with both Chapterl4, Article 4, of the Municipal Code, and all applicable Land Use Code requirements, including Section 3.4.7. My comment following the Jammry 2o, 2009 Conceptual Review, which you reference in your letter, refers to the development proposal, which would be decided by the Phmmng and Zoning Board. The demolition of 711 Remington, however, will still need to go to the Landmark Preservation Commission, as provided for in Chapter 14, Article 4.
