BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT STAFF REPORT CASE NO. WA-94-7 I. REQUEST Page 2 The applicant is requesting approval of a variance to allow a six foot. high fence to be located: within a front yard setback. Section 26-30(I)(1) states: "Permitted fence, etc., heights: No fence, divisional wall or hedge above the height of 48 inches. shall be permitted within a minimum required front yard, or above the height of 6 feet in instances not otherwise specified." Section 26-15(F) requires that the minimum front yard setback is 30 feet for property zoned Residential-Two. Therefore, to allow the applicant to place a 6 foot fence in the location requested, a variance is required. The fence appears t~ be roughly 6' from the applicant's western property line. II. SITE The subject site currently has multiple single family residences located on it. These residences are located on the east half of the property while the west half is occupied by a horse corral. The 6' fence that is currently under construction started without approval of a fence permit. The property owner was cited by Code Enforcement and the applicant applied. It was found that the fence under construction was not in conformance with the current height standards. The permit was approved with the condition that adherence to the fence height requirement be maintained. The applicant has subsequently decided that he would like the fence to remain in the present location. It is for this reason a variance has been applied for. 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 and has been used as a residential property for many years, 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 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, thn plight of the owner is not due to unique circumstances; and 3. if the variation were granted, would it alter the essential character of the locality? BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT STAFF REPORT CASE NO. WA-94-7 Page 3 The granting of this variance could alter the essential character of the local neighborhood as there are no other 6 foot high fences located in front yards. 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 result in a hardship that would necessitate the need of a 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 a hardship nor 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. 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? The hardship has been created by the applicant as the fence was constructed without first obtaining a permit; 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 impair the adequate supply of light and air to adjacent property or substantially increase the congestion in the public streets 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 permit could endanger public safety by obstructing the view of traffic of the property to the north when it is developed. BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT STAFF REPORT CASE NO. WA-94-7 Page 4 IV. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS Based on the preceding findings of fact, staff has reached the following conclusions: 1. The property is and has been used as a residential property for many years, 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 is located, the property can yield a reasonable return in use; and 2. As this site is under the same constraints as are all other residential properties within the immediate area, the plight of the owner is not due to unique circumstances; and 3. The granting of this variance could alter the essential character of the local neighborhood as there are no other 6 foot high fences located in front yards. 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 6 foot fence to be located within the front yard setback; and 5. Because staff has not found a hardship nor 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 hardship has been created by the applicant as the fence was constructed without first obtaining a permit; and 7. The granting of this permit could endanger public safety by obstructing the view of traffic of the property to the north when it is developed. Therefore, staff would recommend that Case No. WA-94-7 be DENIED. t tts too5 ~ ~ i j O O ~ 00 ~ * OO~yy * ~ ~ * ~ ~ M O O -~-~ p O> ///p~ O) rn O O~ O j -- ~ G *~ 49 *NN M ~~ ~ D M ~ - ~~ ~~ " G f'cR GREEK * ~ ~ S V ~u~ o y~ °o ~ M ~ ~ rn Ro ~ ~ / \ I ro i W 43R W 43RD ,4VE - v ~_ R ~~~ ~~ I ~ ~ ~ N 4300 `r .` L o `~ 42so 0 U SIGN NET D. ~41N R ~ N NODE 10 ~ z `~ TES o - -?~ J \~~~~ ~ \~ ~ ~ IX ~ \ . _ d~ O .` c ~~ <.~~ ~ ,. ~~- ~~ GREEN '- I ~?- ~-2 0 0 0 o rn rn rn w rn rn rn rn c W 41ST AVE 5T ~4VE °`D ° o I ~ rn rn w *I I rn I *rn rn c o_ o o~ ..~ I I I I 5 ~ ~.~ L V - I k EXHIBIT 'A' ~o KOELTZOW - DAUGHE ~BAUGH AGREEMENT S00°17~35`~E 139.83 I , ; ~ / / I RECEPTION NO. 89051058 ~~ _.. ` jl, m~° hro ' 7_ O ~ / C7 O g/ ;. ~ ~~ ~ N -i I L7 h/ `D P0.8 PAR CEL B .. r lal U,I / I.I 0: In a / ° m ~ z/ i / ~o N / ~ :, , m' W .,.. ~ h li ni I l v ~~~~ ~ } ~ ' ~ ~ o >:...j ~ I I ` ~ 10~OEDICATEO FOR BY PLAT - :. hl' { ', 1~ ~ - ~ .-- - ~ ' ' ~ 13995 N00°17~35~W ~- + + u is i t / ' 37 m ' 15bEDICATEO TO STATE ( ~, 15 OEOICATEO TO STATE HIGHWAY w i HIGHWAY DEPT. 9N 2120, PG 266 ._-. ~ w ~ _ DEPT• BK 2114, PG 469 ~_ , , I i~ - / - .m ,Z /, _ om iO ~~ N m P 9 _ / ~ Z .00: "~ ~' 58 f 139.95 _ _ _ _.l. l - .- - ~- -, _ _2,651.8 600°22'00'E~' _ - ~ - `FOUND PK NAIL --- 197.95 WI/4 CORNER SEC. 22 T35, R69W, 6th P.

Board Member ABBOTT asked staff if the other trailer requires a permit or does it need to be put on a foundation, and Mr. Moberg said he would have to look into it. However, if it has been there for seven years there is not much we can do since it is .difficult to prove. No further-questions were asked. Motion was made by Board Member ABBOTT that-Case No. TUP-94- 4, an application by U.S. Truck Driving School, be approved for the following reasons: 1. The property is and has been used as a truck driving school for many years, therefore the'proposed use will not have a detrimental affect upon the general health or welfare, safety, inconvenience of persons residing or working in the neighborhood. 2. The applicant's testimony states that this structure will become obsolete for its current use in approximately six months. WITH THE FOLLOWING CONDITION: 1. The Temporary Use Permit will be for one year. Motion was seconded by Board Member HOWARD. Motion carried 6-0. Resolution attached. B. Case No. WA-94-7: An application by Melvin Koeltzow for - approval of a variance to allow a six foot Fence within the front yard setback. Said property is located at 4240 Kipling Street. Greg Moberg presented the staff report. All pertinent documents were entered_nto record, which Chairman JUNKER accepted. Board Member ABBOTT asked how far back the fence would have to go to be legal in the sight triangle, and Mr. Moberg replied the sight triangle is not a problem. The property is zoned and used residential and therefore is exempt, the problem is the front yard setback. A six foot fence is not allowed in the front yard setback. For the applicant to be legal he would have to move the fence posts approximately 25 feet to the east. WHEAT RIDGE BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT MINUTES OF MEETING: June 28, 1994 Page 4 Board Member ABBOTT said the concern seemed to be a safety hazard on the north side of the property because of the potential development, so he thought there would be a sight triangle problem on that north corner. Mr. Moberg said there could be a problem if that north corner develops out. A six foot fence is not allowed in the front yard whether it is commercial or residential so anything in a sight triangle would have to drop down to 48". Board Member ABBOTT said he was thinking of having the applicant lower the fence down to 48" but staff is saying it doesn't factor into this. Mr. Moberg said the way the code is written anything that high is going to inhibit any kind of vision along there because the entire length will be six foot high, and we don't know where the .drive will be. Discussion £ollowed. Board Member HOVLAND asked in regard to the sight triangle if that would ever obstruct the sight coming out of the trail head to the south, and Mr. Moberg said it could obstruct pedestrian vision that would be south bound on the sidewalk, but not vehicular traffic. Board Member ECHELMEYER asked if_the'fence posts that currently run south will affect that fence, and Mr. Moberg answered no, he can continue placing that fence. The posts on the west side have been taken down. This fence is in the Flood Plain and but was approved as long as the applicant keeps 50~ open face. Board Member ECHELMEYER wanted commercial could it ,have a six said not in the front yard. to .now if this property goes foot fence, and Mr. Moberg Board Member HOWARD asked i£ the applicant is asking for a 25 foot. variance, and Mr. Moberg answered according to the survey he received there has been some exchange with the property to the north, so he does not know where the property line or the fence is. The Parks Director says it is approximately 4 1/2 to 5 feet from :the property line. Mr. Moberg added the applicant wants to keep the fence in the same location. Board Member HOVLAND asked if the existing fence on the property is in compliance, and Mr. Moberg replied he was told it was 30 feet back, but that should be asked of the applicant. Board Member ECHELMEYER asked could this go up in the same location if it was a four foot fence, and Mr. Moberg replied yes. WHEAT RIDGE BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT MINUTES OF MEETING: June 28, 1994 Page 5 No further questions were asked of staff. _.. ^- . The applicant, Melvin Koeltzow, 12385 W. 48th Avenue, was sworn in. Mr. Koeltzow stated he hired the same contractor that was working for the City and felt they had a handle on what could and could not be done. They set the fence four feet back from the property and said they had a verbal agreement from the City that if he would allow the City to use that frontage that they would allow the six foot fence. Mr. Koeltzow assumed they had initiated the permit to do this and was already putting in the pickets when a city official told him he would have to get a permit. He tried to trace and find who did this agreement for the six foot fence in exchange for the City using to use the frontage and all of a sudden there is nobody that knows anything about this. Mr. Koeltzow said he is not trying to place the blame on anyone, he is just a property owner trying to get a fence. He feels he was negligent in not coming into the City and finding out all the details and wi!.1 do whatever the Board rules. The six foot fence will be an advantage as far as seeing the corrals from the street, sound from the street and privacy from the park. Mr. Koeltzow feels he was caught in a situation but did not intentionally do anything illegal. Whatever the ruling is, he will comply with. He feels.it will be an advantage to the area to have the same height fence all around. This fence is a considerable distance back from Kipl3ng Street and there should be no sight or traffic complications. Board Member ABBOTT asked if he felt the extra two feet would be a noise buffer,'and'the applicant said yes, and he felt it would provide a little more of a deterant of vandalism since the park will initiate public use. Board Member ABBOTT feels the fence with the spacing would not do to good of a job at buffering noise or maintaining privacy. Mr. Koeltzow said to keep in mind the alternate spacing will partially block vision and maintain semi-privacy. Board Member ECHELMEYER questioned the applicant if this fence is the corral fence or would he continue to keep a separate fence, and Mr. Koeltzow answered the tenant will provide an electric fence inside this fence. Board Member ECHELMEYER asked if there is an electric fence now and wanted to know if the horses belong to-the applicant. Mr. Koeltzow replied there is an electric fence now. The horses belong to the applicant's tenant (he is the owner but does not live on the property). _ WHEAT RIDGE BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT MINUTES OF MEETING: June 28, 1994 Page 6 Board Member ECHELMEYER asked if the horses have ever broken out onto Kipling Street, and the applicant answered no, not to his knowledge. Board Member ECHELMEYER asked if he was planning to go ahead with the six foot fence on the south, and Mr. Koeltzow replied yes, because of the park he would like to have as much of the six foot fence as he could possibly have because he feels he is more vulnerable to parties and vandalism. The applicant said the fence is necessary and if it wasn't he would not spend the money because this is not a cheap endeavor to fence that much area. Board Member ECHELMEYER asked if he would have any trouble with a four foot fence on the west, and Mr. Koeltzow said the trouble with a four foot fence will be the double cost. To cut the fence down will cost him a considerable amount because the material has already been purchased. He would feel more comfortable with the six foot fence to reduce any liability from the horses and also feels the property will look better. Board Member HOVLAND asked the applicant to clarify the statement that someone from the Parks department wanted the fence across there so they could make a planting buffer or something. Mr. Koeltzow said the way he was approached was he was led to believe there was an agreement with the contractor and somebody from the City, but never got any documentation. The applicant pulled the permit as soon as he was aware of the situation. The contractor has agreed to move the fence. back. No further questions were asked of the applicant. Motion was made by Board Member ABBOTT, that Case No. WA-94- 9, an application by Melvin Koeltzow, be approved for the following reasons: 1. The fence would greatly enhance privacy and peaceful use of this residential property from this busy thoroughfare. 2. Since horses are kept on this property, a six foot fence would help mitigate.an attractive nuisance for neighborhood children. WITH THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS: 1. Then fence must be lowered 48" maximum for 15 feet in each direction from the intersection of the west fence line and the north fence line at the driveway. 2. The Flood Plain requirements must be met. ~~ WHEAT RIDGE BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT ' MINUTES OF MEETING: June 28, 1994 Page 7 3. Livestock must be kept a minimum of four feet from the fencer 4. This four foot space must be kept clear of weeds and trash. Motion was seconded by Board Member ECHELMEYER. Board Member ROSSILLON stated he would be voting against this motion even though it is somewhat of a unique circumstance but feels there is no necessity for a six foot fence. The Board will open themselves up for other applicants to try and justify the six foot fence. Chairman JUNKER said she also would be voting against this because six foot fences are not allowed. Board Member ECHELMEYER will be voting for this because Kipling Street is almost totally commercial, and there will be no precedent set relative to R-2 and R-1 districts. He is afraid of an accident on Kipling Street with the horses. The request would be a different story i£ the property were R-1 or R-2. Motion denied by a vote of 2-4, with Board Members HOVLAND, HOWARD, JUNKER, and ROSSILLON voting no. Resolution attached. C. tease No. WA-94-5: An application by Diana and Terry Olson for approval of a 20' variance to i:he 30' required side yard setback adjacent to a public street; in a Residential-Two zone district. Said property is located at 2990 Saulsbury Street. Greg Moberg, presented the staff report. .,A],l.pertinent .. " documents were entered into record, which Chairman JUNKER accepted. Board Member ROSSILLON asked if the plan is to be just 10 feet from the property line, and Mr. Moberg answered the site plan shows a 10 foot setback from the north property line and 11 feet back from edge of asphalt. There are no curbs, gutters or walkout, nor are there any plans to be. Board Member ABBOTT said his problem is the side yard setback, and asked when staff says there is an alternative location are they talking about pushing the garage further toward the house. Mr. Moberg replied pushing the garage back further into-the rear yard is an alternative, they however will lose most of their backyard..
