Board.
2. Although the property is zoned agricultural, the use is
clearly residential and therefore Section 26-31(5) and
(6)(a) would appear to closely apply.
3. The essential character of the neighborhood will most
likely be affected.
4. Although the applicant feels this is a recreational
vehicle, it'appears this use clearly runs against the
intent of the code. In recognition of the fact every
inspirational use conceived by man .cannot nor should be
expected to be codified. _
5. A precedent will clearly be set.
6. We recognize the fact this is used for recreation, it is
however still a semi-truck/trailer..
Motion for approval of this interpretation carried by a vote
of 5-1, with Board Member BERNHART voting no. Resolution
attached.
Mr. Moberg requested that Case No. WF-94-1 be continued to
the next meeting due to not receiving the report from Urban
Drainage and Flood Control.. Discussion followed. Board
Member ROSSILLON moved that Case No. WF-94-1 be continued to
the April meeting. Motion was seconded by Board Member
JUNKER and carried 6-0.
2. Case No. WA-94-2: An application by John R. Perez for
,approval of a two foot variance to both the required five
foot side and rear yard setbacks needed to allow the
construction of a detached garage. Said property is located
at 6885 W. 35th Avenue and is legally described as follows:
Greg Moberg presented the staff report. All pertinent
documents were entered into record, which Chairman REYNOLDS
accepted.
No questions were asked of staff.
The applicant, John Perez, 6885 W. 35th Avenue. Mr. Perez
stated his property is one of the best kept properties in
the area. He did canvas everyone around his area more than
once and found no one in opposition. He said what looks
like a carport is actually his patio because they do not
have room on the north side to have a patio; they only have
7 feet north of the property and that is ail in lawn.

MINUTES OF MEETING: March 24, 1994 Page 9
Mr. Perez said the storage shed that is on the property line
will be tore down. If he places a garage where the code
allows, he will have it right on top of the patio. The
garage will be built out of brick and will be one of the
best garages in the area. The garage will be a one-car and
oversized with room for storage because there is no basement
and he has no storage other than the shed. Mr. Perez said
if the variance is not granted, he will not build the
garage. He feels the garage will enhance the property. He
has lived at this property for 24 years.
Board Member BERNHART said with the concern about building
the garage to close to the patio are these dimensions
correct, and Mr. Perez said he believes it is correct but he
did not bring his papers with him. Board Member BERNHART
said it looks like the garage could be built within the
regulations of the City and not run in to the patio. Mr.
Perez added. that the shed is now right on the property line,
but the proposed garage will be away from the property line
which he feels is better.
Board Member BERNHART asked how critical is that,3 feet in
the rear, and Mr. Perez said he is trying to keep the
landscape as nice as possible in the front and does not want
to make the garage go any further towards the front than he
has to. It was noted that a tree would have to be cut down
if they move the garage any more toward the front.
Discussion followed regarding the location of the garage and
driveway.
Board Member ABBOTT asked why the applicants would not want
to convert the existing patio into a garage and then build a
new patio, and Mr. Perez said he does not have enough space
plus it would be more work and money since the existing
cement would not be strong enough to support a garage. Mr.
Perez said most of the garages in the area are right on the
property line.
Board Member ABBOTT stated they must look at setting a
precedent and he is having trouble rationalizing why the
garage cannot be pushed over given these dimensions. Mr.
Perez added he would probably not build the garage if he
does not get the variance.
Motion was made by Board Member BERNHART that Case No. WA-
94-2, an application by John R. Perez, is hereby APPROVED
for the following reasons:
1. There are no detached garage setback variances in the
immediate neighborhood, there are however numerous
~ sheds that are within the 5 foot setback. Therefore,
the essential character of the neighborhood will not be
detrimentally impacted by a variance of this sort.

MINUTES OF MEETING: March 24, 1994 Page 10
2. The granting of this variance will not be injurious to
other property improvements in the neighbor.
3. The granting of this variance will not impair the
adequate supply of the air to the adjacent property as
both adjacent properties have structures close to the
location where the garage is going.
WITH THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS:
1. The applicant will obtain a building permit and abide by
all regulations of the City of Wheat Ridge.
2. The existing small white shed will be removed.
Motion was seconded by Board Member CLARK.
Board Member ABBOTT said because Mr. Perez is not sure what
size of garage he will build and there is trouble with the
dimensions on the survey, he .would consider a friendly
amendment to add another condition that the garage cannot
exceed 16 feet. in width and 3 feet in distance from the
existing concrete patio pad to •the east. If in fact that
means he doesn't need a variance, then that would be fine.
Board Member CLARK asked if there was a roof overhang over
the concrete pad to the east of the property and questioned
if that should be considered,'and Mr. Perez answered the
only overhang is where the gutters are at and that extends
about a foot past the edge of the concrete. Board Member
ABBOTT answered he did consider that when going foundation
to foundation.
Board Member BERNHART asked to have the condition clarified.
Discussion followed. Board Member ROSSILLON added if they
grant him the three feet then in reality the applicant could .
build any size garage he wanted and felt that Board Member
ABBOTT is just trying to lock that west boundary in.
Mr. Moberg said the Board needs to take a look at the
reasoning for the condition and what is trying to be
accomplished and Board Member ABBOTT said they are trying to
push the variance to as small as possible. Mr. Moberg said •
the Board can condition the approval anyway that they want,
the fact of the matter is if you feel'the variance can be
approved what does it matter if the garage is attached to
the patio or not, it is the side yard setbacks to consider..
Board Member ABBOTT replied they were trying to allow that
space that the applicant wants between the patio and garage.
Board Member BERNHART said he would like to amend the motion
and Mr. Moberg said it could be amended if the second
CITY OF WHEAT RIDGE BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT
MINUTES OF MEETING: March 24, 1994 Page 11
approves. Board Member BERNHART said his proposal is the
condition would be 'although the request was for a 2 foot
variance one of the conditions would be only a 1 foot
variance from the side and rear yard setback'. Mr. Perez
asked if you mean rather than give me the 2 feet you would
only give me the 1, then he will just cancel the request and
won't waste your time. Mr. Moberg said that would have to
be a new motion.
Board Member CLARK suggested making the setback on the north
side 5 feet, but 3 feet on the side yard. Board Member
ROSSILLON said he is more concerned with the side yard
setback. Board Member BERNHART said one of the reasons is
because there are no detached garages within the setbacks,
but there are other structures.
Mr. Perez said he cannot see any reason to continue this
because he asked for the 2 feet, and he just won't build it
if he has to build the. structure 5 feet-from each boundary.
Board Member ABBOTT withdrew his friendly amendment. Board
Member BERNHART re-read the motion.
Board Member ROSSILLON stated he would be voting no on this
motion because he feels the applicant does have an
alternative.
Board Members ABBOTT and JUNKER will be voting no also on
this request for the same reason.
Motion for. approval failed by a vote of 3-3, with Board
Members ABBOTT, JUNKER and ROSSILLON voting no. Resolution
attached.
5. CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING
6. OLD BUSINESS
A. Discussion regarding Case No. WA-94-1 followed.
