STAFF COMMENTS
MEETING DATE: September 3, 1985
ITEM: 800 Block of Sycamore Street
APPLICANT: Bill Rogers, MILRO Mechanical, Inc,, 2016A East Lincoln,
Fort Collins, CO 80524
LAND USE DATA: Proposal for a 4-nlex on .25 acre in the 800 block of
Sycamore Street.
COMMENTS:
1. During construction please maintain a minimum of ten feet from any
existing overhead power lines.
2. You may obtain cost estimates for the extension of electrical services
from Doug Martine or John St. John at Light and Power.
3. A sewer service is stubbed onto the lot. You will need a new water
service to the lot from Sycamore Street.
4. On -site detention of storm water is required.
s
5. The alleyways used for access to the site may need improving at the
developer's expense. General improvements to the alleys may be delayed
if the owner agrees to participate in a future improvement district.
6. Any existing curb, gutter and sidewalk that is damaged during
construction will need replacing by the developer.
7. A traffic impact study is required with a formal submittal of the
project. It should show basic information on trip generation and other
applicable information. Please contact Rick Ensdorff, the City traffic
engineer for details.
8. Parking access may be handled through the existing alleys. This is
encouraged in order to maintain the appearance of the front lot. Any
parking areas will have to be landscaped effectively to be screened
from neighbors.
9. This project will have to meet all the zoning regulations for the R-M
zoning district. If not, the appropriate variances will have to be
granted by the Zoning Board of Appeals before proceeding with the R-M
site plan review.
10. If fire access is to be taken from the alley as well as the street, the
alley must be hard surfaced and a minimum of 20 feet in width.
11. The R-M site plan review places primary importance on the impacts of
the proposed density and uses to the surrounding residents/users. The
site plans and buildings should be compatible and sympathetic with the
surrounding neighborhood in terms of scale, bulk, materials,
orientation, disposition of buildings on the site, circulation and
parking, height, landscaping and architectural character.
12. A neighborhood meeting is required before the plan is submitted for
formal review. The applicant is to provide the names and addresses of
the affected property owners within 500 feet of the site (please see
the attached map) on 8 1/2 x 11 mailing label sheets (33 names to a
page). A meeting will be arranged by the planning staff to occur
approximately three weeks (at the earliest) after this list is
submitted. The project may be submitted after the meeting is held;
submittal dates are usually the 5th of every month. The submittal date
for the November Planning and Zoning Board meeting is September 27,
1985 (early due to the holiday). The submittal date for the December
meeting is October 29, 1985 (also due to the holidays).

Re: Sycamore 4-Plex R-M Site Plan Review
Dear David:
Staff has reviewed the above referenced project and has the following
comments:
1. The underground electrical shown on the plan may not be accurate - you
will need to coordinate your electrical needs with the Light and Power
utility.
2. The police department has had numerous complaints about alley blocks
during construction in this area. The contractor should minimize any alley
blocks during construction.
3. The zoning code requires parking areas to be paved or concrete.
4. Any signage must comply with the sign code.
5. For your information, a 4" sewer service has been stubbed onto this
site.
6. The garage structure does not meet the 150 foot emergency access
requirement of the fire authority unless the alley is increased to 20 feet
wide and turning radii are 20' inside and 40' outside. If the alley is
used for access the status of the alley must be verified.
7. Existing fire hydrants within 500 feet of the site should be shown. An
additional fire hydrant may be required.

8. The traffic engineer will not require alley improvements at this time
(unless needed for fire access), however you are requested to agree to
participation in a future alley improvement district.
9. A drainage report has not been submitted as of this time. This needs to
be submitted as soon as possible - please contact Bonnie Tripoli for
specifics.
10. Please dimension street right-of-way and flow lines of the street.
The installation of a sidewalk will be required - it should also be
dimensioned on the site plan.
11. If the ditch occurs on the property, the ditch company will need to
sign off on the plans. Also, no structures are allowed on the ditch
easement.
12. The parking at the south end of the site will not work as shown.
Staff suggests you realign the garage to take access off the side alley -
this may solve your fire access problem as well as make the parking area
work more effectively.
13. Staff still needs a grading plan which shows water and sewer services
- please contact Bonnie Triploi for more information.
14. To clarify the zoning comment about changing the designation to
multi -family - the R-M zone allows multi -family structures as a permitted
use as approved by this site plan approval process. The zoning designation
will not change with this project and all requirements of the R-M zone must
be met with this site plan or be varied by the Zoning Board of Appeals.
15. Will the garage be of the same materials and color(s) as the
residential structure? Please state this on the site plan.
16. The landscape plan needs correcting - the Burr Oak should be relocated
and the parking area shown; some vegetation may need to be relocated when
the garage is relocated.
Revisions addressing these comments are due in this office by January 8,
1986 at noon. Usually, a meeting is arranged at your convenience to
discuss the comments. This meeting should be held as soon as possible in
order for you to to have adequate time to make the necessary revisions.
PMT's, colored renderings, and ten copies of the appropriate plans are due
in this office by January 13, 1986 at noon. Final documents (signed
mylars, etc.) are due in this office no later than January 23, 1986 at
noon. If you have any further comments or questions please give me a call.
