FROM: Alan White, Director of Community Development
SUBJECT: WA-03-05
DATE: March 14, 2003
a
Case No. WA-03-05 is an application by Diane and Arlen Siert, to request an administrative variance; a
3 foot front yard setback variance to the 30 foot front yard setback requirement resulting in a 27 foot
front yard setback in the Residential-Two (R-2) zone district on land located at 3525 Miller Street.
Pursuant to Section 26-115(C) of the City of 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 Director of Community Development finds that the "findings of fact," as set forth below,
are substantially complied with and support the request; and
3. The Director of Community Development 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, limitation¢ of Charter 4ection 510 L are not exceeded
If all the conditions above are met, the Director of Community Development may issue an
administrative variance provided the findings of fact below are met:
Findings of Fact: The Director of Community Development 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 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 grantint .'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 on 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 written comments in
opposition to this request from the surrounding neighbors.
Case No. WA-03-05 is hereby:

Letter of variance request to Wheat Ridge City Planners:
We request a 3-foot variance (10% of setback) for an entry way to our
house, to be done along with a "partial pop-top."
Currently the entry to our bilevel is very small with the front door clearing
the stairs to go up by'/z an inch. The stairs to go down are to the left of the
upstairs with a 33-inch landing. It is just barely functional as an entryway.
When the stairs go in over the existing downstairs for our pop-top addition,
it will make the entry even more crowded and unpleasant. We tried other
places to put the new stairs, but this is the only practical area. If the entry is
allowed to extend 3 feet out it provides adequate room.
Another reason for needing more space in the entryway is we are thinking of
the future when my husband might need some mechanical helping device to
be installed on the stairs. He has recently had a hip core decompression
operation, which statistically leads to a hip replacement. Hip replacements
can wear out after 10 years or so, so it is prudent we think of the future
where my husband could find stairs a hindrance. (copy of surgical bill is
attached.)
I have talked to our neighbors and they have no problems with this variance.
(signed letter attached.) Thank you for your consideration of this matter.
Sincerely,
~ta~e ~iu~1
