CITY OF WHEAT RIDGE PLANNING DIVISION STAFF REPORT I. REQUEST The applicant is requesting approval of a variance to allow a six (6) foot high fence to be located within a front yard setback. The applicant contends that he would like to surround this vacant ground with a six (6) foot fence to keep trash and litter out. Section 26-30 (I)(1) states: "Permitted fence, etc., heights. No fence, divisional wall or hedge above the height of forty-eight (~8) inches shall be permitted within a minimum required front yard, or above the height of six (6) feet in instances not otherwise specified." Section 26-15 (F) requires that the minimum front yard setback is thirty (30) feet for property zoned Residential-Two. Therefore to allow the applicant to surround his property with a six (6) foot fence a variance is required. II. SITE The subject site is currently vacant and located to .the northwest of the applicant's residence (the applicant lives at 3375 Garland Street, see attached site map). Because the subject site is separately deeded from the property that has the applicant's residence, the subject site can be developed. In addition the subject site is not utilized as a rear yard of the residential property as the subject property is not part of a through lot. The property is unplatted and by the applicant's survey and the site map the property's west property line lies ten (10) feet further west than the adjacent property to the south. III. FINDINGS OF FACT 1. Can the property in question yield a reasonable return in use, service or income if permitted to be used only under the conditions allowed by the regulations for the district in which it is located? The property is of a size and width that a single family residence could be developed on the site therefore it is reasonable to assume that if the site is. permitted to be used only under the conditions allowed by the regulations for the district in which it .is located, the property can yield a reasonable return in use; and 2. Is the plight of the owner due to unique circumstances? As this site is under the same constraints as are all-other residential properties within the immediate area, is of a size that would allow it to be developed and is not an intragle part of the applicants residential property. Therefore plight of the owner is not due to unique circumstances; and BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT STAFF REPORT CASE NO. WA-93-2 Page 3 3. if the variation were granted, would it alter the essential character of the locality? The granting of this variance will alter the essential character of the local neighborhood as there are no other six (6) foot high fences located in residential front yards. In addition the property's west property line is located ten (10) feet further west then the properties to the south. If a six (6) foot fence is allowed out to the west property line it would look like the fence were located in the right- of-way and therefore further alter the essential character of the local neighborhood; and 4. Are there any particular physical surroundings, shape or topographical conditions of the property involved that would result in a particular hardship? There are no particular physical surroundings, shape or topographical conditions of the property that would resuit in a hardship that would necessitate the need of a six (6) foot fence to be located within the front yard setback; and 5. Are the conditions upon which the petition for a variation is based be applicable, generally, to the other property within the same zoning classification? Because Staff has not found hardship nor any unique circumstance, conditions upon which the petition for a variation is based would be applicable, generally, to the other property within the same zoning classification; and 6. Is the purpose of the variation based exclusively upon a desire to make more money out of the property? The purpose of this variance is not based exclusively upon the desire to make more money out of the property; and 7. Has the alleged difficulty or hardship been created by any person presently having an interest in the property? No hardship has been created by any person presently having an interest in the property; and 8. Will the granting of the variation be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to other property or improvements in the neighborhood in which the property is located? The granting of this variance will not be injurious to other property or improvements in the neighborhood; and 9. Will the proposed variation would not impair the adequate supply of light and air to adjacent property or substantially increase the congestion in the public streets BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT STAFF REPORT CASE NO. WA-93-2 Page 4 or increase the danger of fire or endanger the public safety and substantially diminish or impair property values within the neighborhood? The granting of this variance could impair the adequate supply of light to the front yard of the property directly to the north of the subject site. IV. CONCLUSIONS AND Based on conclusions derived from "Findings of-Fact", staff has the following comments: 1. The property is of a size and width that residence could be developed on the site reasonable to assume that if the site is used only under the conditions allowed b. for the district in which it is located, yield a reasonable return in use; and a single family therefore it is permitted to be the regulations the property can 2. As this site is under the same constraints as are all other residential properties within the immediate area, is of a size that would allow it to be ,.developed and is not an intragle part of the applicnats residential property. Therefore the plight of the owner is not due to unique circumstances; and 3. The granting of this variance will alter the essential character of the local neighborhood as there are no other six (6) foot high fences located in residential front yards. In addition the property's west property line is located ten (10) feet further west then the properties to the south. If a six (6) foot fence is allowed out to the-west property line it would look like the fence were located in the right- of-way and therefore further alter the essential character of the local neighborhood; and 4. There are no particular physical surroundings, shape or topographical conditions of the property that would result in a hardship that would necessitate the need of a six (6) foot fence to be located within the front yard setback; and 5. Because Staff has not found hardship or any unique circumstances, conditions upon which the petition for a variation is based would be applicable, generally, to the other property within the same zoning classification; and 6. The granting of this variance could impair the adequate supply of light to the front yard of the property directly to the north of the subject site. Therefore, staff would recommend that Case No. WA-93-1 be DENIED. February 22, 1993 Planning Division City of Wheat Eidge P.O. Box 638 Wheat Ridge, Colorado 80034 HE: Case No. WA-93-1 SUBJECT: Vacant lot, 3400 Holland St. A request by owner to allow a six foot fence to be erected and located within a front yard setback. BESPONSE F3OM: Al Bellio 3385 Garland St. Wheat A.idge, Colorado 80033-5823 Property owner ad~ac.ent to vacant lot and ,just east of petitioned property. RESPONSE: Any change on this property would cause serious damage to the aesthetic and pristine awareness and undermine the value of surrounding proper- ties. For example, take Ms. Sue Wilson whose beautiful home is dust south of this vacant lot. Any fence or change would subtract from her property an3 virtually destroy the wonder- ful view to the northwest valley and then the mountains beyond. I hope and MsayWilsonaisian has not upset her too much as long-time resident of this community and a bene- factor to all of Jefferson County. In closing, my confirmation is DENIAL OF PETITION, and hope the Planning Board weighs the merits of this argu- ment. Thank You.

Isbell for approval of a variance to allow a six foot fence to be located within the minimum required front yard setback as regulated by Section 26-30(I)(1) for property located at approximately 3400 Holland Street. Greg Moberg presented the staff report. All pertinent documents were entered into the record, which Chairman HOWARD accepted. No questions were asked of staff. Ms. Rosemary Isbell, 3375 Garland Street, was sworn in. Ms. isbeli stated the primary reason for the petitioning of this variance is because they live across from Wheat Ridge High School and get all the debris and trash (sack lunches, cans, etc)on their property.. In order to enhance the property, the applicants first erected a berm and someone hauled all of the dirt away. It was noted this is not their backyard, it is a separate vacant lot. Ms. Isbell said their neighbor does not want them to erect a six foot fence along her side of the property, so they will honor that. Ms. Isbell said they are constantly cleaning the lot and have done so for 27 years (even before they owned it). The applicants tho ught erecting a fence might solve some of the problems. Board Member ABBOTT asked if the berm was effective in. mitigating the problem, and Ms. Isbell said they were going tc purchase shrubs and trees to plant, but-never got a chance to find out. Ms. Isbell said the lot has turned into a dumping place for people. Board Member ABBOTT asked then if two feet of fence would help, and Ms. Isbell. said with the amount of wind they get they are sure it will help keep trash and debris out of .the yard. Ms. Isbell added when the school had a six foot fence the problem was not so bad, however the fence has been removed. Board Member ROSSILLON asked where exactly would the six foot fence be placed, and Ms. Isbell answered along the front and north side of the property only, again not to obstruct their neighbor's view. ~, , CITY OF WHEAT RIDGE BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT MINUTES OF MEETING: March 11, 1993 Page 3 Board Member ROSSILLON asked staff since this is considered a lot would the fence be in the front yard, and Mr. Moberg answered the code is written that a six foot fence cannot be placed within the front yard. The front yard is defined by thirty feet, so they could run a fence up to 30' from their west property line. Ms. Isbell spoke again saying the property to the north of them is the 'big hole' that most people in Wheat Ridge are familiar with, so the fence should not be a problem on that side. No further questions were asked. Motion was made by Board Member ROSSILLON, that Case No. WA- 93-1, an application by Robert R. Isbell, be DENIED for the following reasons: 1. The Board finds that based upon all evidence presented and based upon the Board's conclusions relative to the nine specific questions to justify the variance, the evidence and facts in this case DO NOT support the granting of this request. Motion was seconded by Board Member BERNHART. Motion carried 7-1, with Board Member DOOLEY voting no. Resolution attached. B. Case No A 3-2: ~ An application by U.
