SOLARGON
Here is the page to document what needs to be done to get an ADU installed at Timberline.
The idea is to use the Solargon from Brian. Another idea is to document this process for a documentary film.

Outcome: A plan to do this rapidly for other properties.
Response from the City
An engineered foundation is required, which could be a monolithic slab-on-grade with a turned down edge.
Framing plans are also required, which comply with prescriptive code, or are engineered and signed and stamped by a Colorado licensed professional engineer.
Is it allowed to have a toilet? Yes.
And i can have this in addition to the detached 2 car garage?
You would be able to have this structure as well as other structures, including the garage.
Can I run power to it? Yes.
Does it have to have a sprinkler system?
The building department would not require a fire sprinkler system, but also check with Poudre Fire Authority: [email protected]
in the future, when the ADU stuff gets cleared up in the City Council, is it possible it would be allowed to have a stove/oven? Or will the rule that you can only have one dwelling unit if less than an acre trump that?
I cannot speak to specifics about potential code changes regarding ADUs. If the Land Use Code was to change where it would be possible to have a second dwelling unit on this lot, you would need to go through whatever the required development review process would be. Once approved to be a dwelling unit and converted, it would then be able to contain a full kitchen with a range.
I am sure there are setback requirements as well.
Your setbacks would be:
Front- 30’
Rear- 25’
Side- 20’
What is the process to get a permit to get this started?
