I. -~ -0'6' Date 1 CITY OF WHEAT RIDGE PLANNING DIVISION STAFF REPORT TO: Case File CASE MANAGER: Adam Tietz CASE NO. & NAME: W A-07-21/Neb DATE: N/A ACTION REQUESTED: Approval of a 2 foot side yard setback variance from the 15 foot setback requirement resulting in a 13 foot side yard setback on property zoned Residential One (R-1). LOCATION OF REQUEST: 6 Twilight Drive. APPROXIMATE AREA: 16,800 square feet ( .21 acre) APPLICANT (S): David Neb OWNER (S): Kevin and Monika Foley PRESENT ZONING: Residential- One (R-I) PRESENT LAND USE: Single Family Home ENTER INTO RECORD: (X) (X) ( ) CASE FILE & PACKET MATERIALS ZONING ORDINANCE SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS ( ) DIGITAL PRESENTATION Site Location Map Administrative Variance W A-O? -IS/Holtzer 1 JURISDICTION: All notification and posting requirements have been met; therefore, an administrative decision may be made. I. REQUEST The applicant is requesting approval of a 2 foot side yard setback "ariance forthe purpose of expanding the closet in the master bedroom (Exhipit.l,Letter of Request). Section 26-1 I5.C (Variances and Waivers) of the Wheat Ridge City Code allows that the Director of Community Development may grant administrative variances from the strict application of the zoning district development standards. Administrative variances are allowed for up to 50% of the development standard. All other development standards have been met. II. CASE ANL YSIS The owner, Kevin Foley, has granted the applicant, David Neb, limited power of attorney for the purpose of requesting the above variance for the property owner of 6 Twilight Drive. The property is located on Twilight Dr. between Dawn Ct. and Oak St. in an R-l zone district. The applicant wishes to construct a 32 square foot addition on the southeast comer of the home in order expand the master bedroom closet (Exhibit 2, Site Plan and Exhibit 3, Site Photos). The property currently contains a large, multi-level, single family home which has been extensively upgraded on the exterior and interior. The lot is 16,SOO square feet in size with a width of 120 feet. The R -1 zone district allows for maximum lot coverage of 25%. Based on a lot size of 16,SOO square feet, 4,200 square feet of lot coverage is allowed. With the proposed addition being 32 square feet, 16.5% ofthe lot will be developed. The home meets all other development standards including the setbacks for the front and rear yards, and maximum height. The properties in the surrounding area also have large, single family homes on large lots, many of which have also been upgraded, renovated or added on to. The exterior renovations to property in question have been completed with a high level of architectural detail and quality which have significantly increased the value of the home (Exhibit 4, ~itePhqto). The applicant has expressed the addition will be quality built and will be in character with the rest of the improvements that have been made to the home. The addition will not extend out any further from the home than the current roof overhang so it will appear to have been part of the original construction of the home and will be less obtrusive. By wrapping the addition around to the south and east sides of the home rather than constructing a larger extension onto the rear of the horne, the addition will look natural and continue to be in harmony with the horne's architecture. Administrative Variance W A-07-1S/Holtzer 2 Additionally, the home to the east is approximately 50 feet away at its closest location at the front ofthe homes. This distance increases toward the rear of the homes which is where the addition will be located (ExhibitS, Mri.!l.1iPhoto). Two existing mature trees will provide screening to the addition, as well. The fust, a large evergreen is located at the northeast comer of the home providing screening to nearly the entire east side of the home from Twilight Dr. CExhibit6SitePhoto). The second is a medium sized decorative landscaping tree located at the southeast comer of the home and will provide additional screening to the neighbors to the south and east (Exhipit}, Sity Photo). III. VARIANCE CRITERIA In order to authorize an administrative variance, the 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 provided their analysis of the applications compliance with the variance criteria (ExhibitS). 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 likely still yield a reasonable return. The property currently has a single family home on it and it may remain in this marmer regardless of outcome of the variance request. If denied, the applicants would still be able to expand the master closet on the lot but the addition would have to meet the side setback requirements. Staff finds this criterion has not been met. 2. The variance would not alter the essential character of the locality. The variance would not alter the essential character of the locality. Since the addition will not extend out any further than the current roof overhang the impacts to adjacent properties would be minimal. Staff finds this criterion has been met. 3. The applicant is proposing a substantial investment in the property with this application, which would not be possible without the variance. The applicant is proposing an investment in the property. The property owner has substantially improved the property and home since they purchased it in 1995. The investment in the home has added value to the property and to those properties surrounding it. Ifthe addition is constructed with the same high- quality work and detail as the previous improvements it will only further enhance Administrative Variance WA-07-1S/Holtzer 3 the property. While the investment in the closet may just be deemed substantial in itself, it is an integral part of the ongoing investment in the property, which has been substantial. 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 conditions related to shape or topography that render any portion of the property in question unbuildable. The property is rectangular in shape and sloped with higher elevations in the rear yard sloping toward the front which abuts the Twilight Dr. right-of-way. The home has been built all the way out to the allowed side setbacks on both sides which only leaves the front and rear yards to add any improvements on to the home. 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 hardship described above relates to the location of the proposed addition, which will be constructed upon a structure that was built prior to the current owner having an interest in the property. Since the home was built to its maximum on the sides and the established the zoning setback requirements were established prior to the purchase of the property, the compliance of the property in relation to the development standards is the responsibility of the owner. Staff fmds 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 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 W A-07-lS/Holtzer 4 development ofthe adjacent property. 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 increase the danger of fire. The request will most likely not have an effect on property values in the neighborhood. The home would not cause an obstruction to motorists on the adjacent street and would not impede in the sight distance triangle. 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. The circumstance necessitating the variance request is the fact that the existing home was built up to the applicable side yard setback minimum standards. This condition is not unusual or unique and does occur on other properties in the neighborhood. Staff finds this criterion has been met. 8. Granting of the variance would result in a reasonable accommodation of a person with disabilities. Single family homes and their accessory structures 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 in compliance with the majority of the applicable review criteria, staff recommends approval of the 10 foot front yard variance request. Staff has found that there are unique circumstances attributed to this request that would warrant approval of a variance. Therefore, staff recommends APPROVAL for the following reasons: 1. The request will not alter the character of the neighborhood. 2. The construction of the addition will be an additional investment in the home which has already seen significant investment. Administrative Variance WA-07-18/Holtzer 5 3. The request would not be detrimental to public welfare. 4. The variance would result in the addition having a minimal impact on the surrounding properties. 5. There were no objections received for the variance during the 10 day public noticing period. With the following conditions: 1. The materials used and architectural detail shall be complimentary to the existing improvements and home.

The proposed expansion shall be a 2' bump out on approximately 8' of wall at the southeast rear comer of the house, and will have little or no visibility from Twilig11t Drive. The bump out will not extend beyond the existing drip line of the house, and the materials will match the existing materials of the house such to make the addition appear to be part of the original construction.

Response to Variance Request Criteria for 6 Twilight Drive. A. The expansion of the master closet is necessary for our own personal use and to create an appropriate size master closet in relation to the size and value of the house. B. The expansion is minimal in size, remains within the drip line, is located at a rear comer of the house, and will be constructed of materials consistent with the balance of the house. C. We have already made substantial investments to the exterior and interior of the house and need to complete the master closet expansion in order to realize a return on our previous investment. p. Although not a unique hardship, an inability to expand the master closet would not permit us to fully enjoy the house, and have a master closet which is commensurate with houses of similar size and quality. E. We have not created the alleged difficulty. F. The expansion is minimal in nature, is within the dripline of the house, and has little or no visibility from the street. It will have no impact on light or air to the adjacent residence, and should have no impact on the value of the adjacent residence orother houses in the neighborhood. G. Homes in the neighborhood are g~~erally 30-40 years old and many houses have now been renovated to correct defici~ncies found in older homes including the need to expand the master closet to a size more compaI<:lble with master closets found in newer homes. ;V ( FEB-10-20B3 17:36 053-' RECORDED EQUITY OFF!
