Dear Mr. DiTullio:
RE: Case No. WA-05-09
Please be advised that at its meeting of May 26, 2005, the Board of Adjustment APPROVED
the request for a 5-foot side yard setback variance from the 10-foot side setback requirement for
detached garages over 8 feet in height on property zoned Residential Three and located at 4501
Everett Street for the following reasons:
1. The applicant has very limited options for placement of garages sufficient to
accommodate an 8-unit multi-family structure without the need for a variance.
2. Garages are seen by Jefferson County Housing Authority and Wheat Ridge Housing
Authority as very much affecting the likelihood of achieving the goals of both
Jefferson County and Wheat Ridge Housing Authorities.
3. Approval of the variance would hopefully provide an incentive to make improvements
to a dilapidated property and perhaps be influential for adjacent properties to do or
request the same.
4. The intent of the property being owned by the Wheat Ridge Housing Authority is to
provide a public service resulting in a benefit to the community.
5. The adjacent property to the north is also zoned multi-family.
6. The corner lot status of this apartment building places the building with a significant
double front yard setback therefore limiting available space in the rear and side yards.
This has caused a hardship in the design of a viable project.
7. The 10-foot required setbacks do not seem to provide a definable benefit to this
neighborhood due to the configuration of adjacent occupancies.
8. There has been no neighborhood opposition registered.
With the following conditions:
1. If it is determined that any portion of the structure is within the 100-year floodplain, a
Class I floodplain exception will be required prior to issuance of a building permit.
2. The structure shall not have an exterior with visible metal materials.

June 8, 2005
The setback area being varied behind the garages shall be enclosed for security,
prevention of storage of illicit materials, and graffiti control.
Enclosed is a copy of the Certificate of Resolution, as well as a draft copy of the minutes, stating the
Board's decision which became effective the date of the meeting, May 26, 2005. This variance shall
automatically expire within one hundred eighty (180) days of the date it was granted, November 22,
2005, unless a building permit has been obtained.
Please feel free to contact me at (303) 235-2846 if you have any questions.

It was moved by Board Member BLAIR and seconded by Board Member
BYBEE to continue Case No. WA-05-08 to the June Board meeting. The
motion passed unanimously.
B. Case No. WA-05-09: An application filed by the Wheat Ridge Housing
Authority for approval of a 5-foot side yard setback variance from the I0-foot
side setback requirement for detached garages over 8 feet in height on property
zoned Residential Three and located at 4501 Everett Street.
This case was presented by Jeff Hirt. He entered all pertinent documents into the record
and advised the Board there was jurisdiction to hear the case. He reviewed the staff
report and digital presentation. Staff recommended approval of the application for
reasons outlined in the staff report.
Board Member HOVLAND commented that this request for a variance is due to a zoning
change for the R-1 zone district to require setbacks relative to building height and asked
why this requirement would apply to multi-family dwellings. Meredith Reckert
explained that R-3 zoning also allows single family structures and therefore the setback
requirement applies to all structures in the zone district.
Board Member BYBEE commented that he could find no reasons not to approve this
application.
Board Member HOWARD suggested that setback requirements be revisited citing an
example that presently a 20-foot setback would be required for two garages built adjacent
to each other.
Jerry DiTullio
3250 Newland Street
Mr. DiTullio, chairman of the Wheat Ridge Housing Authority, was sworn in by Vice
Chair BELL. He stated that, following the denial of a previous request for variance, the
number of garages for the project has been reduced from six to five. The depth of the
garages has also been reduced from 24 to 21 feet. He asked the Board to approve the
variance based on the following reasons:
There has been no neighborhood opposition.
• Staff has recommended approval.
The Housing Authority will be improving a dilapidated property.
Garages will reduce on-street parking.
• The l0-foot setback on this particular property serves no purpose in that the garages
would face a back yard and would not therefore infringe on the adjacent property.
• Approval of the variance would not set a precedent for any other future projects
within the city.

2659 South Pitkin Way, Aurora
Mr. Wehrdt, Jefferson County Housing Authority, was sworn in by Vice Chair BELL.
He is also project manager for the subject property. He explained the garages have been
designed with hip rather than peak roofs. Without the variance, there would be more
opportunity for continued graffiti problems on the buildings. With the requested setback,
the area could be fenced which would reduce the amount of weeds and graffiti. The
reduction in the number of garages would also increase the distance from the garages to
existing structures by an additional 6 feet. This project will not only provide affordable
home ownership, but will greatly improve the appearance and quality of the
neighborhood.
In response to a question from Board Member PAGE, Mr. Wehrdt explained that parking
will be a cooperative effort with the other multi-family units. The parking area and
driveway will be paved.
In response to a question from Board Member ABBOTT, Mr. Wehrdt stated that units
with garages sell first. Garages also improve the property by providing off-street parking
as well as some additional storage space for personal items.
Cheryl Brungardt
5621 West 36`h Place
Ms. Brungardt was sworn in by Vice Chair BELL. She is a member of the Wheat Ridge
Housing Authority. She stated that housing units with garages sell quickly and provide
safe off-street parking for the homeowners. She pointed out that the majority of
homeowners in the Housing Authority properties only have one vehicle. There are also
individuals who do not own vehicles and that is one reason the Housing Authority likes
to choose units that are near public transportation. This project will mostly likely
encourage surrounding property owners to improve their properties.
There were no other individuals present who wished to address this case. Vice Chair
BELL closed the public hearing.
Upon a motion by Board Member ABBOTT and second by Board Member BLAIR
the following resolution was stated:
Whereas, the applicant was denied permission by an administrative officer; and
Whereas, Board of Adjustment Application Case No. WA-05-09 is an appeal to this
Board from the decision of an administrative officer; and
Whereas, the property has been posted the fifteen days required by law, and in
recognition that there were no protests registered against it; and
Whereas, the relief applied for may be granted without detriment to the public

welfare and without substantially impairing the intent and purpose of the
regulations governing the City of Wheat Ridge.
Now, therefore, be it resolved that Board of Adjustment Application Case No. WA-
05-09 be, and hereby is, approved.
Type of Variance: A 5-foot side yard setback variance from the 10-foot side setback
requirement for detached garages over 8 feet in height on property zoned
Residential Three. DRAFT
For the following reasons:
1. The applicant has very limited options for placement of garages sufficient
to accommodate an 8-unit multi-family structure without the need for a
variance.
i. Garages are seen by Jefferson County Housing Authority and Wheat
Ridge Housing Authority as very much affecting the likelihood of
achieving the goals of both Jefferson County and Wheat Ridge Housing
Authorities.
3. Approval of the variance would hopefully provide an incentive to make
improvements to a dilapidated property and perhaps be influential for
adjacent properties to do or request the same.
4. The intent of the property being owned by the Wheat Ridge Housing
Authority is to provide a public service resulting in a benefit to the
community.
5. The adjacent property to the north is also zoned multi-family.
6. The corner lot status of this apartment building places the building with a
significant double front yard setback therefore limiting available space in
the rear and side yards. This has caused a hardship in the design of a
viable project.
7. The 10-foot required setbacks do not seem to provide a definable benefit
to this neighborhood due to the configuration of adjacent occupancies.
8. There has been no neighborhood opposition registered.
With the following conditions:
1. If it is determined that any portion of the structure is within the 100-year
floodplain, a Class I floodplain exception will be required prior to
issuance of a building permit.
2. The structure shall not have an exterior with visible metal materials.
3. The setback area being varied behind the garages shall be enclosed for
security, prevention of storage of illicit materials, and graffiti control.
Board Member BLAIR commented that the function and duty of the Wheat Ridge
Housing Authority is to provide a public service and the proposed project will improve
Board of Adjustment
05-26-05
PRAFT
the quality of the neighborhood.
Board Member HOVLAND commented that the zoning code amendment which
increased setbacks from 5-feet doesn't make sense in this area. There would have been
no need for a variance in this case without the zoning code amendment.
Board Member BELL stated that she would support the motion because of the location of
the garages. The bulk plane in this situation is not as much an issue as it would be in a
single family residential zone with a single story house adjacent to a single story house.
It was moved by Board Member HOWARD that the variance request be changed
from 5 feet to 3 feet. The motion died for lack of a second.
The motion passed 6-1 with Board Member HOWARD voting no.
C. Case No. WA-05-10: An application filed by Holiday Inn Express Hotel and
Suites for approval of a variance of 10 feet from the required 30 foot setback from
the right-of-way for signs over 25 feet high resulting in a 20-foot setback from the
right-of-way for property zoned Commercial One and located at 10101 West I-70
Frontage Road South.
This case was presented by Jeff Hirt. He entered all pertinent documents into the record
and advised the Board there was jurisdiction to hear the case. He reviewed the staff
report and digital presentation. Staff recommended approval of the application for
reasons outlined in the staff report.
Board Member HOVLAND asked if there were any safety or sight triangle issues
involved with the proposed location of the sign. Jeff Hirt stated that this matter was not
referred to the traffic engineer because the sign will not be located at the intersection of
two streets where sight triangle regulation would apply.
In response to a question from Board Member ABBOTT, Mr. Hirt stated that the size of
the proposed sign is well below the allowed square footage.
Todd Brummond
Holiday Inn Express
Mr. Brummond was sworn in by Vice Chair BELL. Mr. Brummond is managing
member of the ownership group of the Holiday Inn Express Hotel and Suites. The
required 30-foot setback for the sign would infringe upon the Valley Water District
water easement and therefore a request for variance became necessary.
There were no other individuals present who wished to address this case. Vice Chair
BELL closed the public hearing.

Jurisdiction
All notification and posting requirements have been met; therefore, there is jurisdiction to hear this case.
1. REQUEST
The property in question is located at 4501 Everett Street. The property has Residential Three (R-3) zoning.
The applicant, Jerry DiTullio, Wheat Ridge Housing Authority chairperson, is requesting a variance on behalf
of the owners, the Wheat Ridge Housing Authority (Exhibit 1, Application). The request is for approval of a 5
foot side yard setback variance from the required 10 foot side yard setback. Detached garages over 8 feet in
height must be setback 10 feet from the side yard in the R-3 zone district.
The applicant proposes to construct an approximately 1,302 square foot (62' X 21') detached garage on the
property (Exhibit 2, Site Plan, Exhibit 3, Elevations). The proposed garage will be located 5 feet from the side
property line on the north and 9 feet from the property line to the west. Per the Code of Laws, the minimum
side and rear yard setback for a detached garage in the R-3 zone district is 5 feet if the structure is less than 8
feet in height, and 10 feet if the structure is over 8 feet in height. The proposed garage is over 8 feet in height;
therefore the 10 foot setback requirement is applicable for both the side and rear yards. As a result, a variance
of 5 feet to the side yard setback before the Board of Adjustment is required to allow for the proposed detached
garage at the location shown on the site plan.
The request is only for the side property line setback variance to the north. As the site plan shows the detached
garage 9 feet from the rear property line to the west, a variance would be required to allow for this setback as
well. This variance request however would be classified as a minor variance. Minor variances are requests for
variances of 10 percent or less from the standard. Per Section 26-115 of the Code of Laws, the director of
community development is empowered to decide upon applications for minor variances or waivers without a
public hearing provided that the "findings of fact" support the request, all public notification procedures have
been met, and no additional dwelling units would result from the request.
A request for a variance to allow for a detached garage at this location was made before of the Board of
Adjustment on March 24, 2005. This previous request was for approval of a 5 foot side and 5 foot rear yard
setback variance from the 10 foot side yard and 10 foot rear yard setback requirement. The motion to approve
the request failed, with 5 members voting yes, and 2 voting no; therefore the previous request was denied
(Exhibit 4, Minutes).
Per Section 26-107 (C) a new application for substantially the same development process may not be refiled for
one year after denial. It has been determined by the zoning administrator that this application is not
substantially the same development process as the previous request.
The R-3 zone district also specifies that the maximum allowable size for a detached garage is 600 square feet
per unit. The property has an existing 8 unit multi-family residential structure on it; therefore the maximum
size allowed for a detached garage on this property is 4,800 square feet.
Access into the proposed garage will be from the existing access off of 45th Place, going north into the property.
A substantial portion of the property lies within the 100 year floodplain. It is not certain at this time whether
any portion of the proposed garage will lie within the floodplain. If it is determined that it will, a Class I
floodplain exception will be required to construct the garage. This may be placed as a condition upon the
variance request if approved. A Class I floodplain special exception permit can be approved administratively
by the City's Flood Plain Administrator.
Board of Adjustment
Case WA-05-09/Wheat Ridge Housing Authority
It should also be noted that the property is a corner lot, making the setback requirements more restrictive. The
R-3 zone district regulations state that any side or rear yard which abuts a public street shall have a setback of
30 feet for all structures (Exhibit 5, Buildable Portion of Lot).
Goals of the Wheat Ridge Housing Authority are to increase the number of owner-occupied units in the City,
increase property values and provide affordable housing. Since its inception in 2001, the WRHA has
successfully bought, rehabilitated and reintroduced 24 townhouse units into the City's housing stock. Proposed
improvements to 4501 Everett include new floor coverings, new windows and kitchen remodeling (new
countertops, cabinets and appliances) (Exhibit 6, Proposed Improvements).
It is the opinion of staff that providing affordable housing in Wheat Ridge is an important public service, and
any reasonable accommodation for this would be beneficial. The purpose of this variance request is to allow for
a detached garage that is large enough to provide adequate off street parking for an 8 unit apartment complex
given the setback constraints of a corner lot and the location of the existing multi-family structure. It has been
expressed by the applicants that providing garage space is a very important amenity to potential buyers. In past
projects done by the Wheat Ridge Housing Authority it has been expressed by the applicants that the units with
garages were the first to sell. Placing the detached garage within setback requirements would also likely
eliminate a large portion of the courtyard for buyers.
It should be noted that in 2003, the setback requirement which is applicable to this variance was changed. Prior
to the current regulation, adopted by City Council in 2003, the setback requirement was 5 feet in the R-3 zone
district for detached garages, regardless of height. Therefore the proposed garage would have been allowed
under the previous setback requirements.
All other development standards have been met with the proposed structure, with the exception of a possible
subsequent minor variance request for the rear yard setback to the west as noted above.
II. SITE PLAN
The property is approximately 20,052 square feet, or .46 acres. The property measures 142 feet wide with a
depth of 140 feet (Exhibit 7, Improvement Location Certificate).
There is currently no covered parking on the property for the 8 residential units. Residents park in a small
paved area behind the building, accessed off of 450' Place, or on the street along Everett Street and 45s' Place.
The area surrounding the property consists of multifamily to the north and the west, a park to the east, and a
commercial use to the south. There is a common paved area that encompasses three different properties,
including the property in question. Three different multifamily buildings have unimpeded access to this paved
area, although it does encompass three different properties.
II. VARIANCE CRITERIA
Staff has the following comments regarding the criteria used to evaluate a variance request:
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?
If the request is denied, the property may still receive a reasonable return in use. The property may still be
used as a multi-family residence without the need for any variances.
2. If the variance were granted, would it alter the essential character of the locality?
The request may have an effect on the essential character of the locality. None of the surrounding multi-
family residential structures have garages.
Board of Adjustment 3
Case WA-05-09/Wheat Ridge Housing Authority
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?
There are no unique physical conditions related to shape or topography that render any portion of the
property in question unbuildable. The property in question is square in shape and flat but is a comer lot
resulting in more restrictive setback requirements.
4. Has the alleged difficulty or hardship been created by any person presently having an interest in the
property?
The applicant has created his own hardship by requesting a garage in this location. However, there are
limited options on the property for placement of a garage to accommodate an 8 unit residential structure
given the setback constraints and location of the existing structure.
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 public streets or increasing the danger of fire or endangering the public safety, or
substantially diminishing or impairing property values within the neighborhood?
Approval of the variance would not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to other property in
the area. There may be a slight decrease in the supply of light and air to the properties to the north and
west, given that approval of the variance would result in a structure closer to the property line than is
allowed under current development standards. The request would not substantially increase the
congestion in public streets, increase the danger of fire or endanger the public safety. Property values of
the property in question and adjacent properties will be improved as a result of this request, as it is the
opinion of staff that the property in question and adjacent properties are in need of improvements.
6. If criteria 1 through 5 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?
The request may result in a substantial benefit or contribution to the neighborhood or community
distinguished from an individual benefit on the part of the applicant. It is the opinion of staff that the
property in question, and adjacent properties are in need of improvements. Providing an incentive to
make physical improvements to a dilapidated property may be beneficial not only to the property in
question, but to the surrounding area as a result. Property owners often take note of improvements made
to adjacent properties and desire to do the same.
The property in question is owned by the Wheat Ridge Housing Authority, the intent of which is to
provide a public service resulting in a contribution to the community.
The request would not result in a reasonable accommodation of a person with disabilities.
III. STAFF CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Upon review of the above request, staff concludes that the above criteria are supportive of the variance request.
Staff has found that there are unique circumstances attributed to these requests that would warrant approval of a
variance. Therefore, staff recommends APPROVAL for the following reasons:

1. The applicant has very limited options for placement of a garage to accommodate an 8 unit
multifamily structure without the need for a variance or variances.
2. Approval of the variance would hopefully provide an incentive to make improvements to a
dilapidated property, and perhaps be influential for adjacent properties to do or request the
same.
3. The intent of the property being owned by the Wheat Ridge Housing Authority is to provide a
public service resulting in a benefit to the community.
4. The adjacent property to the north is also zoned multi-family.
5. The corner lot status of this apartment building places the building with a significant double
front yard setback therefore limiting available space in the rear for a detached garage.
6. The 10 foot required setbacks do not seem to provide a definable benefit to this neighborhood
as compared to a less dense location.
With the following conditions:
1. If it is determined that any portion of the structure is within the 100 year floodplain, a Class I floodplain
exception will be required prior to issuance of a building permit.
2. The structure shall not have an exterior with visible metal materials.

1. There is an approximately 2 foot grade change along a retaining wall
between the property in question and the property to the south, the property
to the south existing approximately 2 feet above the applicant's property.
The manner in which the height of the fence is measured pursuant to the
Code of Laws (from finished grade 5 feet inside the property which it
belongs) makes it problematic to have a true 6 foot privacy fence for the
property owners on this portion of the lot.
2. The request will have a minimal effect on the essential character of the
locality. An 8 foot fence at the proposed location will be less impactive than
normal given the significant grade change between the two properties.
3. Six citizens offered to speak in approval of this variance.
With the following conditions:
1. The fence height variance is approved for 110 feet along the south property
line as specified by the applicant in Exhibit 1 and as modified by the Board.
Construction of a fence within the minimum required front yard must
adhere to applicable height standards including the method in which the
fence height is measured.
2. The fence may stairstep down to 4 feet prior to the front yard setback
requirement.
The motion passed 7-0.
Chair DRDA advised the applicant his request for variance was approved.
- D. Case No. WA-05-06: An application filed by the Wheat Ridge Housing Authority
for approval of a 5 foot side and 5 foot rear yard setback variance from the 10 foot
side and 10 foot rear yard setback requirement for detached garages over 8 feet in
height on property zoned Residential-Three (R-3) and located at 4501 Everett
Street.
This case was presented by Jeff Hirt. He entered all pertinent documents into the record
and advised the Board there was jurisdiction to hear the case. He reviewed the staff
report and digital presentation. Staff recommended approval of the application for
reasons outlined in the staff report.
Board Member HOWARD expressed concern that Jerry DiTullio, a member of City
Council, was presenting this case. Mr. Hirt stated that Mr. DiTullio was presenting the
case as Chair of the Wheat Ridge Housing Authority and staff had concluded there was
no conflict in this regard.
Board Member HOVLAND asked if the utility easement would be affected by the
variance. Ms. Reckert explained that the easements are 5 feet wide and that is what the
setback would be.
Board of Adjustment 11 -
03-24-05 EXHIBIT 4
Jerry DiTullio
3250 Newland Street
Mr. DiTullio was swom in by Chair DRDA. He clarified that he was appearing strictly
as Chair of the Housing Authority and not as a member of City Council. In discussions
with the Community Development Department he learned that four garages could be built
on this property without a variance. Since this is an 8-plex, the Housing Authority would
like to build 6 garages to get more cars off the street and promote sale of the units. It is
planned to build storage units and patios for the units.
Board Member BELL expressed concern about the lack of a play area for children. Mr.
DiTullio replied that there is a park across the street where children can play.
Board Member HOVLAND expressed concern about homeowners using the garages for
storage rather than parking cars. Mr. DiTullio stated that once the units are sold, a
homeowners association would address these types of matters.
In response to a question from Board Member HOWARD, Mr. DiTullio stated the
garages would be constructed with vinyl siding.
Doug Knop
1260 Corona, Denver
Mr. Knop is one of the Housing Authority's technical advisors with the Jefferson County
Housing Authority. He stated there was no other suitable configuration for the garages.
Six garages would allow for more offstreet parking and make the units more desirable. If
the number were reduced to five garages it would only eliminate one setback problem.
Space is needed for turnaround radius and to provide courtyard space.
Larry Nelson
8534 West Swarthmore Place, Littleton
Mr. Nelson was sworn in by Chair DRDA. He is with Cornerstone Realty, broker for the
Housing Authority. He stated that this is the third Housing Authority project and he has
found that garages and private spaces are very important to buyers. In previous projects,
the units with garages were the first to sell. Seven of the units will have private
courtyards if six garages are allowed and there would also be adequate turnaround for
vehicles.
Board Member ABBOTT commented that there are many private homeowners who have
similar situations when wanting to build a garage and there doesn't seem to be a hardship
issue here other than marketability.
Mr. DiTullio replied that the variance would adjust to an area that is poorly planned and
zoned and each Board of Adjustment case is considered on its own merits and does not
set precedence. This is a unique situation in the area. The objective of the Housing
Authority is to improve the area and provide affordable housing.
Board of Adjustment - 12 -
03-24-05
Meredith Reckert commented that staff believes there are unique circumstances because
half of the lot is taken up with front setbacks.
Board Member BELL commented that the need for affordable housing in Wheat Ridge is
overwhelming and garages are desirable amenities.
Board Member HOVLAND agreed that providing affordable housing and improving the
neighborhood are worthy goals, but it is important to adhere to all the variance criteria.
Board Member DRDA stated that he was having difficulty in finding a hardship in this
case.
Meredith Reckert commented that a unique circumstance is also presented by an attempt
to improve a nonconforming property.
Board Member BYBEE expressed concern that a 10 foot setback may be more conducive
to collecting junk.
Board Member BELL commented that she believed a hardship exists because of the lot
configuration and the great need for affordable housing. This is the kind of situation that
needs to be addressed when revising the Comprehensive Plan.
Upon a motion by Board Member ABBOTT and second by Board Member BYBEE
the following resolution was stated:
Whereas, the applicant was denied permission by an administrative officer; and
Whereas, Board of Adjustment Application Case No. WA-05-06 is an appeal to this
Board from the decision of an administrative officer; and
Whereas, the property has been posted the fifteen days required by law, and in
recognition that there were no protests registered against it; and
Whereas, the relief applied for be granted without detriment to the public welfare
and without substantially impairing the intent and purpose of the regulations
governing the City of Wheat Ridge.
Now, therefore, be it resolved that Board of Adjustment Application Case No. WA-
05-06 be, and hereby is, approved.
Type of Variance: A 5 foot side and 5 foot rear yard setback variance from the 10
foot side yard and 10 foot rear yard setback requirement for detached garages over
8 feet in height on property zoned Residential-Three (R-3) and located at 4501
Everett Street.
Board of Adjustment - 13 -
03-24-05
For the following reasons:
1. The applicant has very limited options for placement of a garage to
accommodate an 8-unit multi-family structure without the need for a
variance or variances.
2. Approval of the variance would hopefully provide an incentive to make
improvements to a dilapidated property and perhaps be influential to
adjacent properties to do or request the same.
3. The intent of the property being owned by the Wheat Ridge Housing
Authority is to provide a public service therefore resulting in a benefit to the
community.
4. The adjacent property to the north is also zoned multi-family.
5. The corner lot placement of this apartment building places the building with
a significant double front yard setback therefore limiting available space in
the rear.
6. The 10 foot required setbacks do not seem to provide a definable benefit to
this neighborhood as compared to a less dense location.
With the following conditions:
1. If it is determined that any portion of this structure is within the 100-year
floodplain, a Class I floodplain exception will be required prior to issuance of
a building permit.
2. The structure shall not have an exterior with visible metal materials.
Chair DRDA reminded everyone present that a super majority vote of 6 affirmative votes
was necessary to approve the application.
The motion failed 5-2 with Board members DRDA and HOWARD voting no.
Chair DRDA advised the applicant the request for variance was denied.
