Because of the unusually large setback on Marshall St., we are seeking a variance to allow us to install said sign with no additional setback. The Copper Fields Events Chateau is located at 4901 Marshall Street. Sign code requires the sign be ten feet back from the property line. We are asking fora variance of this code because DOT possesses the first thirty feet from the road. If the sign is installed ten feet from the DOT line, it would not be noticed from the road. Because of the above hardships, a variance is necessary in making Copper Field's Fvent Chateau noticeable to its patrons. 402 VIOLET STREET GOLDEN, CO 80401 (303) 279-5977 (303) 279-6236 FAX I AHlon"'IT 3 WA-04-01 4901 MARSHALL Q 100 200 Feet EXHIBIT 4 1'm1,wl!lll!lll F!JC C.. x 7- .41 C .. --• -- av, 7 ft" A41 4 IG ;V +M� 4aw.,Y+14cwr�6 tlMalw:RUMn ++w�M mmummim SURVEY PLAT A r JEFFERS ST O F �OL 60417 4 ti..aw.igR,.

The other issues, such as cars parking on the lawn, should not be a part of that consideration. If parking • other infractions occur, code enforcement would address those issues. He also noted that the Board has the flexibility to require certain conditions of approval such as delineating parking areas from landscaped areas. In response to a question from Board Member ABBOTT, Travis Crane stated that lie did not know how many neighborhood complaints have been made to code enforcement regarding this property.

In response to a question from Board Member HOVLAND, Ms. Fieldman stated that she would have no problem with placing a concrete delineation between the public sidewalk and the driveway and a further delineation to prevent people from using her neighbor's curb cut to leave her property. Chair DRDA commented that there did not seem to be adequate proof of hardship in this case, Board Member ABBOTT stated that he believed the situation of backing out onto 32 nd Avenue is a hardship in that it presents a danger for both the person leaving the property and other drivers on 32" Avenue. He also commented that he would be opposed to the project if the fence were a solid wall, but the decorative cutouts in the fence make the substance of the wall to be within the four foot requirement. Board Member BLAIR commented that the proposed fence would not be inconsistent with other fence heights along 32 nd Avenue. - Upon a ► secona D—oard memMrJ, the following resolution was stated: Board of Adjustment Page 6 12/03/03 Whereas, the applicant was denied permission by an administrative officer; and Whereas, Board of Adjustment Application Case No. WA-03-22 is an appeal to this Board from the decision of an administrative officer; and Whereas, the property has been posted the fifteen days required by law, and in recognition that there were no protests registered against it; and Whereas, the relief applied for may be granted without detriment to the public welfare and without substantially impairing the intent and purpose of the regulations governing the City of Wheat Ridge.
