Oversizing Fee at the issuance of building permit. The fee is
currently $584 per unit.
16. The Planning Department agreed to allow the applicant to
distribute letters to adjacent property owners (within a 500,
radius) informing them of the proposed addition in lieu of a
City staff facilitated neighborhood meeting. A copy of the
letter from the applicant, dated March 6, 1995, and a list of
the affected property owners were submitted to the City
Planning Department. However, the Planning Department has
received calls from several persons whose names were on the
A.P.O. list that did not receive any notification from the
applicant and are opposed to the proposed addition. Lack of
notification of the affected property owners could potentially
jeopardize a favorable review of this development application
by City staff and the Planning and Zoning Board. Please
submit any documentation which may clarify the process used to
notify the affected property owners.
This completes the review comments at this time. Additional
comments may be forthcoming as the various departments and
reviewing agencies continue to review this request. Please be
aware of the following dates and deadlines to assure your ability
to stay on schedule for the May 22, 1995 Planning and Zoning
Board hearing:
Plan revisions are due by 5:00 p.m. on May 3, 1995. Please contact
me for the number of folded revisions required for each document.
PMT's (an 8k x 11 photographic reduction of the site plan),
renderings (a colored 24 x 36 site plan that the Planning
Department can make a slide of), and 8 folded copies of final
revisions (for the Planning and Zoning Board packets) are due by
3:00 p.m. on May 15, 1995.
Please contact me at 221-6206 if you have any questions or concerns
related to these comments. I would like to schedule a meeting with
you as soon as possible, if necessary, to discuss these comments.

require an licensed architect to design the addition and the
applicant to commit to those energy conservation measures. If
the maximum of 4 points were awarded for energy conservation,
the project would still be 6 points short of the minimum and
a variance to the Residential Point Chart will need to be
requested by the applicant. Neighborhood opposition will
further complicate the process of approving a variance.
4. The title on the site plan should read as follows:
"Marsee Preliminary and Final P.U.D.
Conversion of a Single -Family Residence to a Duplex Residence
1320 Southridge Drive
Fort Collins, Colorado"
5. The "purpose" statement and note #10 should be revised to
indicate that the proposal is for "the addition of a two -car
attached garage and conversion of a single-family residence to
a duplex residence."
6. The garage door must be a minimum of 19' from the back -of -walk
to assure that an automobile parked in the driveway wont be
obstructing pedestrian access to the sidewalk.
7. Landuse data notes #4 and #5 need to be clarified (i.e. Does
the existing home have only one bedroom?) Please note the
existing and proposed number of bedrooms per unit.
8. Landuse data note #6 should indicate the total existing square
footage, the proposed square footage of the addition, and the
proposed total square footage.
9. The site plan needs to show the outside stairway to the
apartment above the garage.
10. Please label the "Vicinity Map", add a North arrow and scale,
label the major arterial streets (so they can be read), and
label the "project site" location.
11. Please label the "subject" lot more prominently on the "blow
up map of the neighborhood.
12. Please shade the proposed addition on the site plan and
elevations to distinguish it from the existing structure.
13. Please show the water and sewer service locations on the site
plan.
14. Additional dwelling units will be required to pay a Parkland

Wendall and Jeani Marsee

Fort Collins, CO 80521
Dear Wendall and Jeani,
Staff has reviewed your documents for the Marsee Preliminary and
Final P.U.D., that were submitted March 20, 1995, and would like to
offer the following comments:
1. Use of the "S - Single Family Residential" designation on the
site plan is intended to distinguish between single-family,
duplex, and multi -family housing structures (land uses) as
defined by the building code. The "R - Rental" designation
shown on this site plan is not a land use and should be
removed from the site plan. Any duplex residences (as defined
by the building code) should be designated with a "D" and any
multi -family residences (as defined by the building code)
should be designated with an "M" on the surrounding property
map. Based upon the age of this subdivision and the R-L
zoning district only allowing single-family residential uses,
staff assumes that all of the surrounding properties are
single-family residential until proven differently by the
applicant.
2. All development criteria A-2.2 "Building Placement and
Orientation", A-2.7 "Architecture", and A-2.10 "Solar Access"
of the Land Development Guidance System (LDGS) are mandatory
compliance, neighborhood compatibility criteria. It is
unclear at this time if the proposed two-story structural
addition is architecturally compatible with the predominantly
single -story, 1150's ranch style" architecture of the
neighborhood. Staff is concerned that the two-story addition
may limit solar access for the residential property
immediately north of this site. More detailed elevations are
needed as staff has received several phone calls from
neighbors who are concerned about the neighborhood
compatibility of this project.
3. In order to have 2 dwelling units on this 8,672 square foot
lot (a density of 10.05 dwelling units per acre), this project
needs to achieve a:minimum of 100 points on Point Chart H,
Residential Uses, of the LDGS. Preliminarily, staff has
identified only 90 applicable points. The applicant can gain
additional points for bonus criteria "k", however this would
