3. CONSENT AGENDA
Approval of minutes dated October 1, 2019
It was moved and seconded (Newsom/Poggenpohl) to approve the Consent Agenda.
The motion passed 5-0.
4. VARIANCE REQUEST, 4070 Little Valley Road, Owner: Tom Everitt
Planner Hardin reviewed the variance request. During the zoning review for this permit it was
discovered that the existing deck on the southeast of the property encroached into the 35-foot
setback by 47”. A permit for this deck was not found. On March 6, 2000, the Board of
Adjustment granted a setback variance from 50 feet to 35 feet along the rear lot line. An as-built
approval will be needed from Larimer County.
Commission Discussion:
Poggenpohl questioned why a building permit was issued with a nonconforming condition on the
site, which he will address with Larimer County Board of Appeals.
Applicant Discussion:
Jackie Wiedow, Aldrich Builders, a representative of the applicant, stated that the as-built permit is
in progress and will be submitted to Larimer County soon.
It was moved and seconded (Lynch/Poggenpohl) to approve the requested variance with
findings and conclusions outlined within the staff report that the owner must apply for an
as-built permit with Larimer County, and if necessary, bring the deck up to current building
code standards. The motion passed 5-0.
5. REPORTS:
• New Planner II, Alex Bergeron, started November 1, 2019
• It is not clear if Griffith Court is a private or public road. More untangling is needed. A
Code Amendment is in the works for development reviews in situations like this.
• The IGA will expire on March 31, 2020. The Town and County have not agreed on what a
new IGA will look like as there was a split vote between the boards.
• Second-hand information on the Mountain Coaster appeal is that the Colorado Supreme
Court has set a date for January 2020.
Election of Officers:
