REQUEST. The applicant is requesting the approval of a 10' front yard setback variance to the 30' front yard setback requirement. to allow the construction of a 15' X 17' room addition to the :front-(east) portion of the property. The room addition, though no plans have been drafted, is proposed to enlarge an-existing bedroom and half-bath, to create a master bedroom and a full bath. The house currently has five bedrooms and two-and-a-half baths. - The residence sets upon an east to west down-sloping property.. The rear southwest portion of the. dwelling contains.a subterranean attached-parking garage with a concrete paved driveway which extends from the west rear property line to_the front property line. (east)-. The applicant's believe that a variance is needed because the front portion of the property is the only place they can construct the room addition without having to remove an existing mature maple tree located in the rear (northwest) of-the house. - 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? Yes. The variance request is to allow the construction of an room addition to an existing residential structure. If denied, the existing residence may continue it's existing use, service sad income. 2. Is the plight of .the-owner due to unique circumstances? No. There aren't any unique or unusual circumstances. 3. If the variance were granted, would it alter the essential character of the locality? Yes. The surrounding dwellings in the neighborhood reside with the 30' minimum front yard setback's. Therefore, a room addition to the front of the property would alter the essential quality of the neighborhood. 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? No. Although the applicant believes that the existence of a mature maple tree in the rear of the property forces them to construct the addition in-the front of the property and the need of a variance. Board of Adjustment Staff Report Case No. WA-96-2 Page 3 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? - Yes. Anyone may apply for the same type of variance; but the conditions may differ. 6. Is the purpose of the variation based exclusively upon a_ desire to make money out of the property? No. The proposed room addition is based solely on convenience, not profit. 7. Has the alleged difficulty or -hardship been created by any person presently having an interest in .the property? Yes. Because the room addition is based solely on convenience and not necessity, the hardship has bees created. 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. 9. 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 increase 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 since this case is based on a speculative variance, and the room addition is based solely on convenience and not necessity, the need...- for_a variance is-not justified.- If Ehe variance is approved,-staff has. the following recommendation: 1. The room addition must be constructed with similar design standards and materials so as-the addition matches the existing structure.- i U~ IaILL`~ID~ J j 1 C t { S 1 t 3 I. ~' Y F F z ~ O ~ 1 ~ ~t 11 ~ ~', ~ a ~ ~ y V J -dC' S e q?

No below grade habitable space would be in danger by runoff from the paved surfaces. Motion was seconded by Board Member ROSSILLON.-- Motion - carried 7-0. Resolution attached. C. Cade No_ WA-96-2: An application by T. Casey and Sharon Gahan for approval of a 10` front yard setback variance to :- the required 30' front yard setback on property zoned Residential-One and located at 41 Eillside Drive. Sean McCartney presented the staff report.- All pertinent documents were entered into record, which Chairman JUNKER accepted. No questions were asked of staff at this time. • The applicant, T. Casey Gahan, 41 Hillside Drive, was sworn in. Mr. Gahan said the reasons for the request is there .is a large 40 year old tree-in the back that they do not want to Cut down, and if_they did end up building in the back the neighbors to the north would be blocked of any sunlight they have to the porch. Mr. Gahan read a letter from his neighbor saying they have no objections to his request. Board Member HOVLAND wanted to know what is that area that is in the back, and Mr. Gahan replied the living room and dining room: The covered patio is more to the south. They are wanting to expand their bath and bedroom. Board Member ABBOTT stated that the applicant has a good view of the mountains from the rear of his house, and wondered wondered since a lot of people would just enclose the patio and get their space that way, why does the applicant feel that wasn't achievable. Mr. Gahan answered the kitchen is right off of that and enclosing the patio. would only give us about approx 7' x 8' addition. Board Member HOWARD asked where are the bedrooms located in relationship to the area that you want to enlarge, and Mr. Gahan said one bedroom and the bathroom are in that group, the rest are elsewhere. TAHEAT RIDGE BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT • MINUTES OF MEETING: January 30, 1996 Page 13 Board Member HOWARD wanted to know how far the neighbors house is from the property line and would the tree in the front have to be removed, and Mr. Gahan answered the house is- about 12 feet maybe, and yes, the tree in the front would have to be removed. Board Member ECHELMEYER asked if their 15 foot extend out- to the tree in the front of the house, and Mrs. Gahan replied yes. He asked if the house to. the south of the applicant was added onto or is that the way it was built, and Mr. Gahan answered he does not know. Board Member HOWARD asked the applicant if he had given any thought to putting the addition on the north side, and Mr. Gahan replied-another tree would have to be removed. Board Member ABBOTT stated his concern is with the rest of the neighborhood and an addition like this would change the general look of-the neighborhood for nothing other than a convenience. Mr. McCartney said he drove-the neighborhood and their were not recent additions on the block. He also checked the case file and there were. no cases that extend • any further that this house and what currently exists. From what Mr. McCartney could tell there is good distances on those front property lines. Mr. Gahan said there is one. house. on Skyline that has had a recent addition put on and it protrudes further than any other house. Board Member HOVLAND said between the architect of the house and the slope of the property, it seems to be the most sensible place for an addition, however he is concerned about changing the setbacks. It is a very nice neighborhood and all the houses look to have the same setbacks. Mr. Gahan commented that he would of thought if it was a glaring obstruction that one of the neighbors would .have come to complain. It was noted that no other complaints were received. Staff brought in an aerial photo of the area in question. Chairman JUNKER called for a five minute recess to discuss the photo. The meeting was reconvened at 9:22.p.m. Mr. McCartney said the garage to the south ha_s_ been measured and the setback is 47 feet. No further questions were asked. WHEAT RIDGE BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT MINUTES OF MEETING: January 30, 1996 Page 1~ Motion was made by Board Member ABBOTT, that Case No. WA-96- 2, an application by T. Casey and Sharon Gahan, be DENIED the following reasons: 1.. The surrounding dwellings in the neighborhood reside within the 30' front yard setbacks, The room addition to-the front of the property would appear to alter the essential quality of the neighborhood. 2. The hardship would appear to be for convenience only and not for a substantial hardship. The house currently has 5 bedrooms and 2 1/2 baths.- 3. There would appear to be no reason why the logic used to grant this variance would not apply to_any similar property therefore, create an argument for variance - request with no more hardship demonstrated than convenience. Motion was seconded by Board Member HOWARD. Motion for denial carried 5-2, with Board Members HOVLAND and ECHELMEYER voting no. D. Case No. WA-95-33: An application by Holly DeRisio for a 2' side.-yard setback variance to the required 5' side-yard setback on property zoned Residential-Two and located at 4321 Dover Street. Sean McCartney presented the staff report. All pertinent documents were entered into record, which Chairman JUNKER accepted. Board Member ECHELMEYER asked if he-measured the 7.feet- distance from the east edge to where the fence would be, and he said no, that information was given to him. Board Member HOVLAND asked staff how this was brought to attention, and Mr. McCartney it was a code complaint. The applicant, Holly DeRisio, 4321 Dover Street, was sworn in. Ms. DeRisio said she believes there was a mistake when measuring the east side of the shed from the property line, it is not 7 feet; it is 5° 7". Ms. DeRisio said she did go around and talked to some of her neighbors and not one complained about this request. She added. since the property slopes down in the back, it is-hard to-even see the shed. • CERTIFICATE OF RESOLUTION I, Mary Lou Chapla, Secretary to the City of Wheat Ridge Board of Adjustment, do hereby certify that the-following Resolution was duly adopted in the City of Wheat Ridge, County of Jefferson, State of Colorado, on the 30th day of January , 1996.
