Department: Stormwater-Water-Wastewater Issue Contact: Wes Lamarque Topic: F/oodplain Number: 20 Created: 2/27/2007 (2/27/07] The property is in the Moderate Risk floodplain and it is expected that there will be sheet flow of less than 1 ft. in the 100-year flood. Although floodplain regulations do not apply to the property, it is recommended that the property owner take steps to protect the new structure from flood damage. Topic: Stormwafer Number: 13 Created: 2/26/2007 [2/26/07] Please provide a grading plan for the back half of the lot where the proposed carriage house is being proposed. The grading plan needs to verify positive drainage out to the right-of-way. Page 3 details and construction notes. For questions about the first sheet, contact me. For questions about the second sheet, contact Randy. Department: Engineering Issue Contact: Randy Maizland Topic: Engineering Number: 4 Created: 2/16/2007 [2/16/07] The City attorney has reviewed the vacated easement ordinance and has determined that an access easement in the alley has been retained for utility maintenance only. Therefore, in order to have legal access to this new carriage house, a new access easement must be dedicated by separate document. This may be an access easement or an emergency access easement depending on the needs of the Poudre Fire Authority. Please refer to PFA comments as well. Number: 5 Created: 2/16/2007 [2/16/07] If you intend to dedicate an access or emergency access easement, this will be done by separate document. The easement document shall consist of the Deed of Dedication and legal exhibits. The City review fee is $250 per document + additional fees will be collected to cover County recording fees depending on the number of pages in the document ($50 or less). The applicants attorney shall certify that all signatures have been provide as needed to execute the document. Number: 6 Created: 2/16/2007 [2/16/07] Please label the Plan, top and center as Utility Plan for 135 N. Shields Carriage House with the subdivision and month & year below the title. Number: 7 Created: 2/16/2007 [2/16/07] Provide a standard City signature block at the lower right hand corner of the plan sheet. See red -lines Number: 8 Created: 2/16/2007 [2/16/07] Please add standard City notes provided with the red -lines and correct all spelling errors. Number: 9 Created: 2/16/2007 [2/16/07] Please enlarge the drawing plan view. The text and labeling is too small for scanning and reproduction purposes. See red -lines for clarification. Number: 10 Created: 2/16/2007 [2/16/07] Need to adequately show, dimension and label the vacated alley with referenced Ordinance no. and also clearly show, label and dimension any proposed access easement or emergency access easement. Number: 11 Created: 2/16/2007 [2/16/07] If a new access easement is to be dedicated entirely on the subject property alone, the existing driveway on Shields will need to be reconstructed to line up with the new easement. The City recommends working with the adjacent neighbors to dedicated an access easement over the current vacated alley however, this will take some coordination and cooperation from these property owners. Considering they are currently using this vacated alley to access their properties without legal rights to do so, it will be in their best interest to cooperate and agree with the new dedication centered on the property lines.

If you have questions, please contact Bonnie Ham, Growth Coordinator at USPS, 301 E. Boardwalk, Fort Collins, CO 80525. Number: 23 Created: 2/28/2007 [2/28/07] You have requested a variance for the eave height. What you are requesting is actually a 'modification of standards'. As mentioned in your conceptual review comment letter, modification requests must comply with Section 2.8.2 (H) of the Land Use Code. The eave height standard is in place to ensure the 1 1/2 story height limit and the architectural compatibility with existing houses. Your primary house is eligible for historic designation. I do not see how the proposed architecture meets any of the rationales stated in Section 2.8.2 (H). You will need to improve the design of the carriage house or change it in such a way that a modification is justifiable. Please call me to meet separately on this comment if you have further questions. Number: 24 Created: 2/28/2007 (2/28/07] In the next submittal, please change your drawings as follows: Provide a combined site and landscape plan showing the area outlined in red blown up to a larger scale.
