Memorandum ~OCORAD~
TO: Applicant; File
FROM: Alan White, Community Development Director
SUBJECT: WA-05-02/2971 Teller St.
DATE: 15 February 2005
Case No. WA-05-02 is an application filed by Affordable Garages on behalf of Leonard Kearns
and is a request for an administrative variance; a variance from the required 15-foot side yard
setback in the Residential One zone district. The property is 14,020.8 square feet in size, 96 feet
wide and rectangular in shape. Pursuant to Section 26-205 of the Wheat Ridge Code of Laws, a
minimum side yard setback of 15 feet is required for each side yard. The applicant wishes to
construct an attached garage to be located 13.5 feet from the property line, which is 1.5 feet less
than the required side yard setback. The property is located at 2971 Teller Street and is zoned
Residential One (R-1).
Pursuant to Section 26-115 (C) of the Wheat Ridge Code of Laws, the Zoning Administrator is
empowered to decide upon applications for a minor variance or waiver (10% or less), without
requirement of public hearing, provided that the following conditions are met:
1. The variance or waiver does not exceed ten percent (10%) of the minimum or maximum
standard; and
2. That the Community Development Director finds that the "findings of fact," as set forth
below, are substantially complied with and support the request; and
3. The Community Development Director has notified adjacent property owners by letter
notice and posting of the site at least ten (10) days prior to rendering his decision, and
that no protests have been received in such ten-day period; and
4. That no additional dwelling units would result from approval of such variance or waiver; and
5. That the limitations of Charter Section 5.10.1 are not exceeded.
If all the conditions above are met, the Community Development Director may issue an
administrative variance provided the findings of fact below are met:
Findings of Fact: The Community Development Director shall decide upon a request for a
variance or waiver, and shall base his decision in consideration of the extent to which the
following facts, favorable to the applicant, have been established by the evidence:
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?
2. If the variation were granted, would it alter the essential character of the locality?
3. Does the particular physical surrounding, shape or topographical condition of the specific
property involved result 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?
4. Has the alleged difficulty or hardship been created by any person presently having an
interest in the property?
5. 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, by, among
other things, impairing the adequate supply of light and air to adjacent property, substantially
increasing the congestion in the public streets or increasing the danger of fire or endangering
the public safety, or substantially diminishing or impairing property values within the
neighborhood?
6. If criteria one through five are found, then would the granting of the variance result in a
benefit or contribution to the neighborhood or the community, as distinguished from an
individual benefit on the part of the applicant, or would granting of the variance result in a
reasonable accommodation of a person with disabilities?
This request for an administrative variance meets all applicable conditions as required by Section 26-
115(C) of the City of Wheat Ridge Code of Laws. Staff has not received comments in opposition to
this request from the surrounding neighbors.
Case No. WA-05-02 is hereby:

Affordable Garages, representing Len Kearns, would like to request an administrative
variance. We would like to have a 10% reduction in setback, which would result in a
13 .5' setback rather than the 15' required setback.
a. The property located at 2971 Teller St. would not be able to yield a reasonable
return in income if the homeowner is not able to have a garage built for parking
vehicles. The homeowner is planning on converting the existing garage into living
space, therefore making it difficult to sell the house in the future.
b. If the variance is granted it would not alter the essential character of the locality.
Throughout the area, others have built large structures on their property. This garage
would be attached to the house and the adjacent property owner has no problem with
the proposed garage (see attached letter).
c. If the homeowner has to have a 15'side setback, the garage will need to be moved
behind the house, which will result in trees having to be removed. Additionally, a
great deal of landscaping will need to be removed and a hard surface will be needed
all the way back to the garage which would diminish the appearance of the
surrounding landscapes and houses.
d. The homeowners have not brought any difficulty or hardships on themselves.
e. This garage would have no negative affect in any way on anyone. In fact, it would
help the general appearance of the area by taking cars off the driveway and street and
storing them out of sight. It will also make it safer for children in the neighborhood as
there would be fewer cars for them to be running between, around and behind of It
would also make it safer in regards to easier visibility for both children and drivers
coming down the street.
f. Granting this variance would contribute to the neighborhood as far as the property
value goes and the ability to sell houses. Physically, it would be more pleasing to see
a nicely constructed garage then to see a driveway with vehicles on it. These
homeowners are also getting older and a garage will make it safer and easier for them
to enter their house.
