Under the current conditions the property would continue to yield a reasonable return in use. 2. Granting of the variance could potentially alter the character of the locality, as the majority of homes in the area are located well within the minimum setback. 3. There are no physical or topographical conditions that affect this property and create a unique hardship as distinguished from a mere inconvenience. 4. The challenge presented by the existing windows on the north facade was created by a person having interest in the property. 5. There are no unusual circumstances in the neighborhood that necessitate the variance request. h -1 -I1 Date City of W heatI�idge CITY OF WHEAT RIDGE PLANNING DIVISION STAFF REPORT TO: Community Development Director DATE: October 28, 2011 CASE MANAGER: Lauren Mikulak CASE NO. & NAME: WA -11 -13 / Steinheimer ACTION REQUESTED: Approval of a 4 -foot variance from the 25 -foot side yard setback requirement for property located at 6605 W. 31s Avenue and zoned Residential -Two (R -2) LOCATION OF REQUEST: 6605 W. 31S Avenue APPLICANT (S): Cindi and Randy Steinheimer OWNER (S): Cindi and Randy Steinheimer APPROXIMATE AREA: 17,919 (0.41 Acres) PRESENT ZONING: Residential -Two (R -2) PRESENT LAND USE: Single Family Residential ENTER INTO RECORD: (X) CASE FILE & PACKET MATERIALS (X) ZONING ORDINANCE Location Map Site Administrative Variance 1 Case No. WA -11 -131 Steinheimer JURISDICTION: All notification and posting requirements have been met; therefore, there is jurisdiction to make an administrative decision. I. REQUEST The applicant is requesting approval of a 4 -foot (16 %) variance from the 25 -foot side yard setback requirement for side yards adjacent to a public street, resulting in a 21 -foot side yard setback. The purpose of the variance request is to allow for the construction of a two -story addition including an attached three -car garage. Section 26 -115.0 (Variances and Waivers) of the Wheat Ridge City Code empowers the Director of Community Development to decide upon applications for administrative variances from the strict application of the zoning district development standards that are not in excess of fifty (50) percent of the standard. II. CASE ANALYSIS The applicants, Cindi and Randy Steinheimer, are requesting the variance as the property owners of 6605 W. 31 Avenue. The variance is being requested so that the applicant may construct a 44' x 24' two -story addition with a three -car garage on the northeast side of the property (Exhibit 1, Aerial). The property is zoned Residential -Two (R -2), a zone district that provides for high quality, safe, quiet and stable low to moderate - density residential neighborhoods, and prohibits activities of any nature which are incompatible with the residential character. The subject parcel is surrounded by properties that are also zoned R -2 and primarily contain single - family homes (Exhibit 2, Zoning Map). The parcel is a corner lot with an area of 17,919 square feet. It contains a one -story, single - family home which, according to Jefferson County records, was originally constructed in 1949 (adjusted year built is 1962). The property meets the minimum standards to accommodate a two - family home, however there is no indication that the proposed addition will result in a second dwelling unit. Currently there is no garage or carport on the property, so the owners utilize a parking pad on the eastern side of the property and an unimproved horseshoe drive on the southern side of the property (Exhibit 3, Site Photos). The ground floor of the proposed addition will provide a three -car garage and new driveway that will replace the eastern parking pad. The second floor of the addition will be finished and will be accessible only from the stairs within the garage. It will likely include a home office and storage space, as there is no attic or basement in the existing home. The proposed garage is designed to complement the house on the subject property with similar windows, siding, shingles, and other material selections. The property has frontage on W. 31 Avenue and on Newland Street. In the R -2 zone district, any side yard which abuts a public street is required to have a minimum setback of 25 feet for all structures. The proposed garage would encroach 4 feet into this required setback, resulting in a 21 -foot setback; the structure would not interfere with the sight triangle (Exhibit 4, Site Plan). Administrative Variance Case No. WA -11 -131 Steinheimer The north side of the property is the most logical location for the proposed addition because the open area between the home and the northern property line is 57 feet wide; with a 10 -foot rear setback the buildable area is 47 feet wide. On the southern half of the lot there are mature trees and only about 10 feet of width between the home and the setback lines. Despite the substantial width, the reason for the variance request is a conflict with existing windows on the north facade of the house. During a home improvement project from 2001 to 2005, the applicants converted the former garage to living space and installed a set of windows on the northern fagade of the home (Exhibit 5, Remodel Plait & Exhibit 6, North Elevation). If the addition was constructed to meet the 25 -foot setback requirement, the new structure would overlap the existing windows by 1 -foot. It is not possible to overlap the windows, and to remove or reconfigure the existing windows is a cost prohibitive investment. An alternative would be a smaller addition to avoid a setback encroachment. The proposed depth of the addition is 24 feet. Although standard garages range from 20 to 22 feet in depth, the applicant has expressed that a narrower depth is not possible because the ground floor garage will need to accommodate a full size pickup truck that is 20 feet in length. Another alternative would be to construct a detached garage. While the proposed garage is considered attached (it shares a common wall of at least 5 feet in length), it does not function as a fully attached garage. There is no proposed entrance between the garage and the existing home, nor is there a connection on the second floor between the proposed office space and the existing home. There is additional room on the north side of the lot to separate the garage from the home, and a detached garage in the R -2 zone district can be up to 1000 square feet (about 24' x 41.5'). To stay within the maximum building size the garage would need to be 56 square feet smaller than is currently proposed. The building code includes no minimum separation between windows and an adjacent perpendicular wall. The applicants have proposed a 3 -foot separation to avoid an overlap and to allow an adequate supply of light and air. This separation results in a 4 -foot (16 %) variance request and results in a 21- foot side yard setback. The proposed addition would meet all other development standards. The parcel meets minimum standards for the R -2 zone district, and the total building coverage with the proposed addition would be about 20 below the maximum 40% allowed in R -2. The following table compares the required R -2 development standards with the actual and proposed conditions: R -2 Development Standards: Required Actual Lot Area 9,000 square feet (min) 17,919 square feet Lot Width 80 feet (min for corner lots) ±91 feet (south frontage) ±145 feet (east frontage) One family dwelling: Required Proposed Addition Building Coverage 40% (max) 20.1% Side Setback 25 feet (min) 21 feet Rear Setback 10 feet (min) 14.3 feet Front Setback 25 feet (min) ±103 feet Height 35 feet (max) ±20 feet Administrative Variance Case No. WA -11 -131 Steinheimer During the public notification period no objections were received regarding the variance request. The applicant's neighbor to the west inquired about the project; after reviewing the proposed site plan, he stated no objection to the variance request. III. VARIANCE CRITERIA In order to approve an administrative variance, the Community Development Director must determine that the majority of the "criteria for review" listed in Section 26- 115.C.4 of the City Code have been met. The applicant has addressed the application's compliance with the variance criteria (Exhibit 7 Letter of Request). Staff provides the following review and analysis of the variance criteria. 1. The property in question would not yield a reasonable return in use, service or income if permitted to be used only under the conditions allowed by regulation for the district in which it is located. If the request were denied, the property would continue to yield a reasonable return in use. The property would continue to function as a single- family residence, regardless of the outcome of the variance request. Staff finds this criterion has not been met. 2. The variance would not alter the essential character of the locality. The granting of the variance may alter the character of the locality. The R -2 zone district does allow for garages and second stories, however the scale of the proposed addition and the setback encroachment are uncharacteristic for the subject neighborhood. Most properties in the neighborhood are zoned R -2 (Exhibit 2, Zoning Map), in which the minimum setback along a public right -of -way is 25 feet. In the subject area, most homes not only meet, but exceed the minimum setback. For example, the average setback is between 30 and 35 feet for homes along Newland between 31 and 32 Avenues. The requested variance will result in a 21 -foot setback, and no upper story stepback is proposed for the second floor. Of the properties immediately adjacent to the subject lot, the average footprint of the primary structures is 1401 square feet.' With the proposed addition, the footprint of the subject home would be about 3600 square feet — nearly two and half times (240 %) larger than adjacent homes. While the size of the addition is permitted in the R -2 zone district, the size and scale of the addition is much larger than those in the area. This makes a minimum setback all the more important to provide uniformity and to reflect the general scale and placement of homes in the neighborhood. Staff finds this criterion has not been met. I Square footage data from the Jefferson County Assessor. Immediately adjacent properties refer to the five properties adjacent or across the street from the subject parcel, including: 6610 and 6625 W. 31" Avenue; and 3090, 3100, and 3137 Newland Street. Administrating Variance Case No. WA -11 -131 Steinheimer 3. The applicant is proposing a substantial investment in the property with this application, which would not be possible without the variance. The applicants are proposing a substantial investment in the property, which may not be possible without the variance. As documented in the case analysis above, the north side of the property is the only viable location for the proposed addition. If the size of the addition remains at 24' x 44' and was constructed to meet the 25 -foot setback requirement, the structure would overlap the existing windows by 1 -foot. It is not possible to overlap the windows, and to remove or reconfigure the existing windows is cost prohibitive (Exhibit 6 1Vorth Elevation). Staff finds this criterion has been met. 4. The particular physical surrounding, shape or topographical condition of the specific property involved results in a particular and unique hardship (upon the owner) as distinguished from a mere inconvenience if the strict letter of the regulations were carried out. There are no unique physical surroundings or topographical conditions that affect this property and create a hardship. The variance request is based on the location of existing windows. The edge of the windows is 23 feet from the eastern setback line which does not afford enough space for an addition that is 24 feet in depth. Although the variance request is logical, it is based on property conditions that create inconvenience rather than a unique hardship. Staff finds this criterion has not been met. 5. The alleged difficulty or hardship has not been created by any person presently having an interest in the property. The difficulty described above was created by the current property owners. During a home improvement project from 2001 to 2005, the applicants converted the former garage to living space and installed the windows on the northern fagade of the home. The nature of future improvements — including the proposed addition —was not a consideration at the time that the applicants installed the windows. Staff finds this criterion has not been met. 6. The granting of the variance would not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to other property or improvements in the neighborhood in which the property is located, by, among other things, substantially or permanently impairing the appropriate use or development of adjacent property, impairing the adequate supply of light and air to adjacent property, substantially increasing the congestion in public streets or increasing the danger of fire or endangering the public safety, or substantially diminishing or impairing property values within the neighborhood. The request for a side setback variance would not be detrimental to public welfare and would not be injurious to neighboring property or improvements. It would not hinder or impair the Administrative Variance Case No. WA -11 -131 Steinheimer development of the adjacent properties. The adequate supply of air and light would not be compromised as a result of this request. The request would not increase the congestion in the streets, nor would it cause an obstruction to motorists on the adjacent streets. The addition would not impede the sight distance triangle and would not increase the danger of fire. It is unlikely that the request would substantially impair property values in the neighborhood. Staff finds this criterion has been met. 7. The unusual circumstances or conditions necessitating the variance request are present in the neighborhood and are not unique to the property. There are no unique or unusual circumstances present in the neighborhood that are also present on the property that necessitate the need for a variance. Staff finds that this criterion has not been met. 8. Granting of the variance would result in a reasonable accommodation of a person with disabilities. Single family homes and their accessory buildings are not required to meet building codes pertaining to the accommodation of persons with disabilities. Staff finds this criterion is not applicable 9. The application is in substantial compliance with the applicable standards set forth in the Architectural and Site Design Manual. The Architectural and Site Design Manual does not apply to single and two family dwelling units. Staff finds this criterion is not applicable IV. STAFF CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS Having found the application not in compliance with the majority of the review criteria, staff recommends DENIAL of a 4 -foot variance from the 25 -foot side yard setback requirement for a side yard adjacent to a public street. Staff recommends denial for the following reasons: 1. Under the current conditions the property would continue to yield a reasonable return in use. 2. Granting of the variance could potentially alter the character of the locality, as the majority of homes in the area are located well within the minimum setback. 3. There are no physical or topographical conditions that affect this property and create a unique hardship as distinguished from a mere inconvenience. 4. The challenge presented by the existing windows on the north facade was created by a person having interest in the property. 5. There are no unusual circumstances in the neighborhood that necessitate the variance request.

In responce to our conversation regarding possible changes to the garage dimensions. I reveiwed material requirements and found that although the trusses would be shorter we would require more and the change would result in a net increase to the cost of the project.In addition to the increase in cost. and more importantly. I measured illy vehicles and found that one of them (a fiill size pickup) is 20' long. Considering the depth of 24' and subtracting the thickness of the walls. the remaining space allows enough room for the vehical and approxiniatly 18" access on both ends. Please fuid attached the reveised drawing showing the relation of the new structure to the existing windows. Let me laiow if you have any other qustions or need additional nuforniation.
