Board of Adjustment Staff Report Case No. WA-95-23 I. REQIIEST Page 2 The applicant is requesting for the approval of TWO separate variances: 5' front yard setback variance to the 30' front yard setback requirement, and a 15' side yard setback variance to the 30' side yard setback variance. The applicant is proposing to develop a residential dwelling within the adjusted 1950 square foot buildable envelope which would be created if approval were granted.. The site currently exists on the south east corner of West 30th Avenue and Marshall Court. The site,. which is approximately 75' in length along West 30th Avenue (north)-, 131'_in depth along Marshall Court (west), 182' on depth on the east and 80' in length to the south, has a 60' Denver Water Board easement running diagonally through the center of the site. Current setback regulations for structures built in the residential-two zone district request a 30' front yard setback, 30' side yard setback for the west property line (for a corner lot), a 5' side yard setback on the east, and a 5` rear yard setback. The applicant approached staff stating that because the easement is located approximately 39' from the front property line on the east, and approximately 69' from the front property line on the west, a buildable envelope of only 835.6 square feet. Staff then suggested the applicant should build a structure in the rear portion of the property, where an existing shed now stands- The applicant replied that he had already proposed that idea to the Denver Water Board and learned that for a sewer line to cross the easement, to tap into the sewer main on West 30th, it would have to be placed beneath the existing 5' water conduit, which currently rests at 3 1/2' below existing grade. The applicant also learned .that a license of encroachment would need to be obtained to allow a structure within the easement. This license would allow a structure to encroach the easement approximately 1', a gain of 65 square feet __ II. CRITERIA _ Staff has the following comments regarding the criteria to evaluate an application for an adjustment: 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 regulation for the district in which it is located? No. Although, because of the current .conditions, the applicant is left with an irregular shaped and exceptionally small building envelope. Is the plight of the owner due to unique circumstances? Yes. Staff believes that the 60' easement, which diagonally-bisects the property, serves as a unique circumstance. Board of Adjustment Staff Report Case No. WA-95-23 Page 3 3. If the variance were granted, would it alter the essential character of the locality? No. The property currently exists in a residential-two zone district, which allows the development of single-family and two-family (duplex) dwellings. 4. Would the particular physical surrounding, shape or topographical condition of the specific property involved result in a particular hardship (upon the owner) as distinguished from a mere inconvenience if the strict letter of the regulations were carried out? Yes. The water easement which diagonally-bisects the property serves the applicant as_a particular hardship, creating an irregularly shaped and small building envelope. 5. .Would the conditions upon which the petition for a variation is based be applicable, generally, to the other property within the same zoning classification? No, because it is unusual and unique that such a large easement would bisect similar lots. 6. Is the purpose of the variation based exclusively upon a desire to-make money out of the property? Yes. If the variance is approved, the applicant will construct a single-family residence that will be placed on the real estate market. 7. Has the alleged difficulty or hardship been created by any person presently having an interest in the property? Yes, because Mr. Worming was informed of the limitations to development prior to purchasing the property. 8. Would the granting of the variance be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to other property or improvements in the neighborhood in which the property is located? No. The granting of the variance would not be detrimental to the public's health, safety and welfare. Board of Adjustment Staff Report Case No. WA-95-23 Page 4 Would the proposed variation impair the adequate supply of light and air to adjacent property or substantially increase the congestion in the public streets- or inorease the danger of fire or endanger the public safety or .substantially diminish or impair property values within the neighborhood? No. The approval of this variance would not have any impact on the surrounding neighborhood as it is to be developed outside of the sight distance triangle. IV. STAFF CONCLUSIONS - - Staff concludes that the property in question includes a particular. hardship (utility easement) which creates an irregular shaped and exceptionally small building envelope. The applicant has contacted the Denver Water Board to ask for_the approval to encroach on their easement, which resulted in costly measures (excavating for the sewer line) or substandard allowances (1° encroachment). Staff believes a design may be developed to meet the current regulations, although it would result in a small, irregular shaped structure. Staff also believes that approval of this variance would not alter the essential character of the locality and the proposed structure would be placed outside of the sight distance triangle. If -approval of the variance is granted, staff offers the following recommendations: 1. A sight plan and elevations must be submitted prior to the application of a building permit so staff can review the design of the structure prior to construction. 2. Any landscaping or fences proposed for the sight distance triangle must be kept under 42", with the landscaping being maintained to remain under 42". m o 3 ~ ~~~ ~~~ I ' D ~ ~ ! iI I ml ° 1 i ~ ~ ~~ ~ ~ ~ c __v. rv I11 I~ ,~-s 1 4RR'M1 h"~49R^.

The shed was built on top of an existing non-conforming shed and was considered to be a repair by the applicant., The square footage of the shed remains the same, only the cubic footage was increased. 2., The total square footage of the two sheds do not exceed the allowable. 3. The adjacent residential property is well over 100 feet away from the shed in ..question. 4. The granting of this variance will not alter the essential character of the locality and not be detrimental to the public's health, safety, and welfare. With the following condition: 1. The owner must present letters-from each utility having interest in the encroached easement approving of the request prior to a building permit being issued. Motion was seconded by Board Member WALKER. Motion carried 5-0. Resolution attached. C. ---Case No. WA-95-32: An application by Earl Worming for approval of a 5' front yard setback .variance to the requir-ed 30' setback, and a 1'S' side yard setback variance to the required 30' setback on property zoned Residential-Two and located at 6498 W. 3-0th Avenue. Sean McCartney presented the staff report. All pertinent documents were entered into record which Vice Chairman HOVLAND accepted. Board Member ECHELMEYER said west of Marshall there is a relatively brand new home and setting to the south of that is a very old house and asked aren't they are encroaching on this easement if it meets this diagonal, and Mr. McCartney replied he does not know. WHEAT RIDGE BOARD OF ADNSTMENT MINUTES OF MEETING: October 26, 1995 Page 5 Board Member ECHELMEYER asked staff if the house setting to the direct south of the circle and are they tapping in south or north on their sewer line, and Mr..McCartney answered he does not know. Board Member WALKER asked if there is a structure on 2986 Newland Street and Mr. McCartney said he did not see any structures on the site, and in the picture the easement-goes southwest to. the park. Board Member ECHELMEYER .stated there is a house on that property. Board Member ECHELMEYER said did he understand correctly that a 1 foot variance is the only thing the water company would do in the way of relief in the 60-foot easement, and Mr. McCartney answered-that is what the applicant told him. Board Member ECHELMEYER asked who determines the width of an easement, and Mr. McCartney answered the utility company. Board Member ECHELMEYER asked if they can arbitrarily go in and take 60 feet of a man's property to put a water pipe through, and Mr. McCartney said the applicant knew of this when they purchased the property. When a piece of land is platted it will state there is an easement on it, so it would be known. Board Member ABBOTT asked if-what staff is .saying is the applicant cannot get his gradient to the sewer because the water line is__down lower than the sewer, and Mr. McCartney said .he was told the sewer line would have to be lower than the water conduit. The water conduit is 3 1/2 feet down and 5 feet in diameter, and he would have to place his sewer line would have to go underneath that to be allowed to tap into 30th Avenue. Board Member ABBOTT said that a license of encroachment would need to be obtained to .allow a structure within an easement, and asked is that something he gets from the water board which .already said the best they would .give him is 1 foot, and Mr. McCartney replied yes. Board Member ABBOTT wanted to know what kind of things would be reviewed by staff other than the-basic compliances-and-_ Mr. McCartney said it would be just the basic compliances so that requirement could be struck from the staff report. No further questions were .asked of staff. WHEAT RIDGE BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT MINUTES OF MEETING: October 26, 1995 Page 6 The applicant, Earl Wonning, 1980 Taft Drive, Lakewood, was sworn in. Mr. Wonning said this property existed as horse property for years and so it does have a-fence around .the .perimeter. Circumstances since then have dictated that he do something else, so what he would like to do is build a home of reasonable size on the property. The south and --- north portions of the property are possibilities, but it seems most. practical and logical to build it on the. north portion which would require the variances. The sewer and water is on 30th and to build on the south portion would require us to extend the water and main sewer line to the front of the structure; that is what both districts told him. So he would be bringing a main up Marshall and then teeing into it perpendicularly at the edge of the cul-de- sac. It is possible that the water district and sewer district would let him tee in off the side of his structure and go all the way down his property to the 30th frontage, but that would not be a normal thing. - Mr. Wonning said this easement was granted in-1950 and the individual he talked to at the Denver Water'BOard said they do not grant anything but 'token' encroachments on their easements. Token means maybe 1 or 2-feet in the corner of-- the structure. Mr. Wonning feels a nice home on the front of that property would enhance the area. Board Member ABBOTT asked the applicant what formula did he use to decide that his proposed structure needs to be as large as it has been drawn, and Mr. Wonning said to build a rectangular structure or home with a 25' setback from 30th - and a 15' from Marshall Court, he can get about a 1200 square foot house on the lot. Board Member ABBOTT said to Mr. Wonning that he could shrink the house and not ask 'f or as much encroachment, so why does he think he needs a house of that square footage. Mr. Wonning said he is not asking to build a house of 1900 square feet, he is asking to build a 'regular' shaped house of 30 foot depth and 50 foot frontage at the-most. He wants a regular shaped house rather than something that is cut off diagonal on the back side. The diagonal shaped house on the drawing is shown only as an example. The biggest home he could build now is 700 square feet, but he feels building one diagonal is not very practical. Board Member ABBOTT said then this is'not market driven and asked the applicant if he feels this house will not sell, ' and Mr. Wonning said the submitted drawings are to demonstrate the square footage and that it would be a much more practical sized house. Mr. Wonning said he will still - WHEAT RIDGE BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT MINUTES OF MEETING: October 26, 1995 Page 7 have to cut a bit of a diagonal line .and he realizes the request is arbitrary to some degree, but feels it is still a reasonable request. Board Member ECHELMEYER asked if the proposed house will be two-story, and Mr. Wonning said he hasn't really designed it to be two-story, but the specific design has not-been discussed, but perhaps a ranch with a walk-out garden level or something. He does know the front.. of the house will face 30th Avenue..-- Board Member ECHELMEYER asked the applicant if he had talked to the neighbor across the street about what he has in mind, and-Mr. Wonning answered he has not_ Board Member ABBOTT asked staff if the two-story would be more obtrusive than one-story, and Mr. McCartney replied if Mr. Wonning does go with a two-story in the staff-report he suggested that it be-off-set. Board Member P.BBOTT was wondering how much freedom the City _ really has in enforcing a suggestion like that, and Mr. McCartney answered the City does not have any current design standards to enforce, so right now all we can do is just suggest._ Mr. Gidley added-since this variance is coming before the Board, it does provide an opportunity to_make or create conditions associated with the variance .beyond what is allowed under the zoning ordinance. If the Board wanted to limit the house to two stories it could be .part of the, condition of granting the variance, which could be accepted or not. Board Member ECHELMEYER commented there is a very nice house to the north that is all glass from ground to ceiling, and this request would kill any view that, they have. Mr. McCartney said no complaints have been received other than a phone call, but staff-does not believe it would obstruct-the view. Mr. Wonning added that house sets 30 or 40 feet east of his property and on the corner of 30th. and Lamar Street. , Mr. Gidley said most homes in this area have two-car garages which are normally around 400 square feet. In this case there is 800 square feet of footprint, in a normal setback situation it would be accommodated within the diagonal situation, which is about SOa of the first floor elevation with a two-car garage: WHEAT RIDGE BOARD OF ADNSTMENT MINIITES OF MEETING: October 26, 1995 Chairman HOVLAND-asked if the-applicant has garage, and Mr-. Worming said right now there structure on the property that was used as a practical perspective he would like to build at least an attached one car garage. Page 8 any plans for a is a 15' x 40' stable. From a something with Mr. Worming said in conclusion this property has been horse property for years and the existing fence has been there to contain the horses. He feels a residential home would be much more appealing as opposed to horse property. No further questions were asked of Mr. Worming. Bonnie Blair, 299$ Marshall Court, was sworn in. Ms. Blair lives directly south of the applicant's home and said she is here representing the neighbors. She entered into record a petition against this variance signed by the adjoining and some near by property owners, labeled Exhibit 'A'. They are against this action because the structure will.be.so close to the cul-de-sac on Marshall Court-and .30th Avenue that it will impair vision when exiting onto Marshall Court. There_ is also a bus stop and twice a day there is-quite a large _ number of children going down the. street. Ms. Blair entered into record photos of the corner labeled Exhibit 'B'. Ms_ Blair continued saying another reason for opposing this request is it will be the only house in the-area that is irregular shaped and she feels this is a negative impact on the surrounding houses. All other houses abide by the Wheat Ridge zoning code by being set back 30 feet. In addition to the safety issues she-feels that this situation in no way presents a hardship to the owner as they were-well aware of the pipeline right-of-way and the setbacks when they purchased the-property; The applicant and his wife are both real estate brokers acid as such they are experienced real estate professionals and well educated in all property laws.- In addition, the MLS identified the existence of-the right- of-way and the title report clearly identified it's presence and. location. Therefore, the owners were-.well informed of the limitations of this property. Knowing this ahead of time, the applicants should not now come before the Board and claim this is a hardship for a variance. - Ms. Blair said all the surrounding houses-are fairly traditional and most of them have been remodeled recently. On behalf of-all the adjoiping property owners and nearby property owners, they would urge the Board to abide by the existing zoning laws and deny this petition for a variance. WHEAT RIDGE BOARD OF ADJITSTMENT MINUTES OF MEETING: October 26, 1995 Page 9 Board Member ECHELMEYER asked if she circulated the petition to most of the neighbors,- and Ms. Blair replied yes. -Some of people are in-the audience, however some of the neighbors are elderly and could not make it to the muting tonight. No further .questions were asked of Ms. Blair David Blair, 2998 Marshall Court, was sworn in. He said they have had to stay on a septic system and not allowed to join the City's sewer system, so they have had to bear with this hardship. Mr. Blair's family sold this easement to the Denver Water-Board in the 50's. His grandfather sold the land with the intent of it staying an agricultural plot and not having problems with a house being so close to their house. They were denied encroachment by the Denver Water Board-to run their water and gas system through that area so they had to apply for an easement going west up to Newland Street to obtain their water and gas.- Mr. Blair continued saying they have a nice view north and if this building goes up they will lose part of it. Board Member ECHELMEYER said he-did nqt understand what Mr. Blair-.did with his sewer line, and Mr. Blair answered he. does not have a sewer line as they are on a septic system since the early 40's. They tapped their gas and water in on Newland Street. Boars Member ECHELMEYER asked how did they cross the water line, and Mr. Blair said they went underneath it. Board Member ABBOTT asked if the houses immediately adjacent have approximately the same square footage as the house that has been suggested here, and-Mr. Blair answered most of them are larger, their, house is 3000 square feet. Board Member HOWARD asked the applicant what would_he propose doing with that lot, and Mr. Blair replied he would like to see it stay agricultural with horses on it. .Board Member HOWARD wanted to know if that particular site was part of the family property and Mr. Blair replied yes, and was sold off- many years ago. . Board Member HOWARD asked if he was living in the house at the time the property was sold, and Mr. Blair-said no, he was away at school. _ WHEAT RIDGE BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT MINIITES OF MEETING: October 26, 1995 Page 10 _- Board Member ECHELMEYER commented this whole area is doing a nice job of building up houses that are setting to the west of Marshall Court are new, and big, and being taken care of nicely by the people who live there. Mr. worming spoke again saying the current sight line requires nothing obstructing the view of traffic 30 feet back. .Anything that he builds with the present or expanded envelope will not intersect that sight line and not have any impact on the sight lines as they now exist. Mr. McCartney said the current sight distance triangle is 25 feet. Mr. Worming said he will not alter that sight line or any code. The setback of other homes in the area as best as he can estimate, the house across the street to the west is set back 25 feet,- 6497 W. 30th is 25 feet, 2991'Marshall Court is setback 15 feet, 6530-W. 30th is setback 12 feet, and - 2998 Marshall Court approximately setback 15 feet. The situation as it now stands allows me to he within code and build a 750 square foot house and not have to ask for any variance. It is his desire is to build a home that is compatible with the other homes in the area; he could build a smaller home but believes it would not be the most logical or best approach to take. Bonnie Blair spoke again saying the problem with this site. is it has a good-sized slope which does not show up well in _ any of the slides, and to see across you-have to .look either ..._ way up or way down. She feels the houses. that Mr. Worming mentioned do not create any kind of-sight obstruction. There-is also a lot of vegetation on the corner and that contributes to the sight obstruction. Chairman HOVLAND asked could we require that the large-hump of land on the corner be graded differently to improve the sight line on that prdperty, and Mr. McCartney said yes, the Board could make .that a condition. He said within the sight distance triangle, structures and vegetation are allowed to be up to 42 inches. The current problem with this sight is the overgrowth of the vegetation, and part of the development plan-would be-to keep that mowed down. Regarding the slope, staff believes a downward slope is better than a upward slope. No further questions were asked. WHEAT RIDGE BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT MINIITES OF MEETING: October 26, 1995 Page 11 Motion .was made by Board Member ABBOTT, that Case No. WA-95- 32, an application by Earl Wonning, be DENIED for the following reasons: 1. It appears that no other houses immediately adjacent have apparent encroachments of this magnitude. Therefore,-it can be assumed .the essential character of the neighborhood may be negatively impacted. 2. The owner has had the property for several years and used it as a horse property. They were aware of the Denver Water Board easement and therefore- it can be assumed the property is salable in its present condition. 3. Testimony was provided that the original granter of the easement did so with an understanding that the easement would likely prevent building-on this site. 4. An owner of-the adjacent house has accomplished the. task of running a gas-and water line under the Denver Water Board pipeline: - 5. Adjacent homes are larger than that possible under the proposed request and this would negatively affect the neighborhood. 6. A petition has been submitted with signatures of eleven. adjacent property owners opposing this variance request Motion was seconded by Board Member ECHELMEYER. Discussion followed. Motion for denial carried 4-1, with Board Member WALKER voting no. Resolution attached. A.
