Sincerely, Kathy Field Planning Secretary Enclosures: Certificate of Resolution Draft of Minutes cc: WA-01-07 (case file) C:\Kathy\BOA\CORRESP\wa0107denial.wpd 2. The requested variance would not impair the adequate supply of light and air to adjacent properties. 3. It would not be detrimental to the public's welfare or injurious to other properties in the area. Type of Variance: A 1.5 foot front yard setback variance from the 30-foot front yard setback required in an A-1 zone reducing the setback to 28.5 feet. The purpose of the variance is to allow the existing building to remain in its present location. When construction of the building was finished, it encroached upon the 30-foot front-yard setback by 1.5 feet. Board Member ECHELMEYER stated that, while he would support the motion, he would like to see situations concerning setbacks incorporated into future city inspections. The motion passed 6-0 with Board Members ABBOTT and YOUNG absent. B. Case No. WA-01-07 - (continued from May 24, 2001) An application filed by Abundant Grace Fellowship for approval of a waiver to the parking lot buffer requirement on the northern parking lot of property located at 4535 Wadsworth Boulevard and zoned Residential-Two (R-2). The case was presented by Travis Crane. He reviewed the staff report, presented slides and overheads of the subject property and reviewed variance evaluation criteria. All pertinent documents were entered into the record and accepted by Chair BROWN. He advised the Board that there was jurisdiction to hear the case. Staff recommended denial of the request for reasons outlined in the staff report. In response to a question from Board Member DRDA as to why a solid fence was not also required along the west side of the property, Alan White explained that a solid fence is required next to properties that are low and medium density. The property to the west is a multi-family property that does not fit into this requirement. Board Member HOVLAND referred to a letter from the adjacent neighbor who was in favor of the variance and suggested the possibility of installing a gate in the fence to allow the neighbor to have access to his garden area. Doug Crook 6025 Miller Street R A Mr. Crook, representing the applicant, was sworn in by Chair BROWN. He was in agreement with the staff report and stated that he would abide by the Board's decision. He stated that he did not realize at the time the original permit was issued that he had the option of requesting a variance. Because of the location of the residence, he did not believe lights from cars in the parking lot would be a problem. He stated the main purpose for the request was to save money for the church by not having to erect a fence. Board of Adjustment Page 3 06/28/01 Board Member ECHELMEYER expressed concern that a variance runs with the land, and while the variance might not present a problem at this time, it could cause a problem in the future when the adjacent property changes hands. Board Member HOVLAND agreed with this concern. In response to a question from Board Member HOWARD, Mr. Crook stated that the parking lot is in use three nights a week in addition to Sunday mornings. The church also has a gentlemen's agreement with the adjacent office building where the church uses the office building parking for overflow on weekends and the office building uses the church parking for overflow on weekdays. Board Member MONTOYA advised the applicant that he would not support the request since the fence was agreed upon before the building of the lot and he is now coming back for a variance. Mr. Crook agreed that this was his fault because he did not realize that he could apply for a variance and did not deliberately intend to deceive the city. Board Member DRDA clarified that the adjacent neighbor would not be denied access to his property if the fence is built, but would be denied some convenience in entering the property. The applicant was advised that a super-majority of five affirmative votes would be required for a motion to pass. Upon a motion by Board Member MONTOYA and second by Board Member ECHELMEYER, the following resolution was stated: Whereas, the applicant was denied permission by an administrative officer; and Whereas, Board of Adjustment Application Case No. WA-01-07 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 one letter was registered from a neighbor in favor of it; Whereas, the relief applied for may NOT be granted 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- 01-07 be, and hereby is DENIED. AFT For the following reasons: Board of Adjustment Page 4 06/28/01 1. Approval of the waiver could possibly alter the essential character of the locality. 2. This waiver is based solely on a desire to save money. 3. The buffer requirement was an original condition of approval of the parking lot. Type of Variance: A waiver from the requirement of the parking lot located adjacent to the residentially-zoned property and the screening required pursuant to Exhibit 2 of the application and pursuant to Section 26-503(e)(1) of the code requiring this fencing or vegetation buffer. The motion for denial failed by a vote of 4-2 with Board Members HOWARD and BROWN voting no and Board Members ABBOTT and YOUNG absent. Upon a motion by Board Member HOWARD and second by Board Member DRDA the following resolution was stated: Whereas, the applicant was denied permission by an administrative officer; and Whereas, Board of Adjustment Application Case No. WA-01-07 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 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. PRAFT Now, therefore, be it resolved that Board of Adjustment application Case No. WA- 01-07 be, and hereby, is APPROVED. Type of variance: A waiver from the requirement of the parking lot located adjacent to the residentially-zoned property and the screening required pursuant to Exhibit 2 of the application and pursuant to Section 26-503(e)(1) of the code requiring this fencing or vegetation buffer. The motion for approval failed by a vote of 2 to 4, with Board Members ECHELMEYER, DRDA, HOVLAND and MONTOYA voting no and Board Members ABBOTT and YOUNG absent. The request for variance was denied based on Chapter 2, Article 3, Section 2-53(d) of the L City of Wheat Ridge Codes of Law which state that Board of Adjustment motions not carried are thereby deemed denied.

I. REQUEST The property in question is located at 4535 Wadsworth Boulevard and is currently zoned Residential-Two (R-2) (Exhibit 1, Zoning Map). The property is currently being used as a church. The applicant (owner), Abundant Grace Fellowship Church, is requesting a waiver from the requirement that any parking lot located adjacent to any residentially zoned property must be screened (Exhibit 2, Application, Exhibit 3, Letter of Request). Pursuant to Section 26-503 (E)(1) of the Code of Laws, any nonresidential use located adjacent to residentially zoned areas shall provide a landscaped buffer six feet wide from the edge of the parking lot boundary, complete with a six foot high view obscuring fence, decorative wall or landscaped hedge with a natural height of six feet. Within the six foot buffer, grass or other acceptable ground cover or trees and/or shrubs shall be planted. The parking lot addition was approved for the church in June of 2000, and as a condition of approval, the buffer was to be constructed upon completion (Exhibit 4, Building Permit). The property to the north is the same length and roughly half the width of the applicant's property. The fencing which was required would buffer the back yard of the house to the north. This back yard is currently being used as garden land. II. SITE PLAN The applicant has submitted a site plan detailing the new parking as well as a six foot fence to screen the parking lot (Exhibit 5, Applicant Site Plan). The proposed fence would have been constructed to match the existing chain link fence on the west side of the property. Staff has not received objections, but a letter of support was submitted by the neighbor directly to the north (Exhibit 6, Neighbor Letter). III. 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 church may incur additional cost to construct the buffer, but it may still be used as a church. 2. If the variance were granted, would it alter the essential character of the locality? The essential character of the locality could potentially be impacted by the granting of this waiver. The section of the Code which requires this buffer to adjacent residential properties is applicable for the entire City. If this buffer requirement was to be waived, the character of the neighborhood could potentially be altered. Board of Adjustment Page 2 WA-01-07/Abundant Grace Fellowship 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? This lot does not have any particular physical condition creating a hardship. It is rectangular in shape and relatively level. The hardship involved with this variance is strictly monetary. 4. Has the alleged difficulty or hardship been created by any person presently having an interest in the property? The applicant, who has interest in the property, has created a self-imposed hardship by failing to meet a condition of approval when the original application was filed and approved in June of 2000. 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? The potential waiver would not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to other properties in the area. It would, however, result in a nuisance at the very least to the property owner and future property owners of the property to the north. The buffer requirement in the Code was specifically designed to protect residential properties which abut nonresidential uses. The adequate supply of light and air would not be compromised as a result of this waiver. This waiver would not increase congestion in the streets or parking lot, nor would it increase the danger of fire. This could potentially have an effect on property values in the neighborhood. 6. If criteria a through a 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 potential waiver would not contribute to the neighborhood or community in any positive fashion. This waiver was requested based on a desire to save money. This waiver would not result in a reasonable accommodation of a person with disabilities. Board of Adjustment Page 3 WA-01-07/Abundant Grace Fellowship VI. STAFF CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATION Upon review of the above request, staff concludes that the above criteria are not supportive of the waiver request. Staff has found that there are not unique circumstances attributed to this request that would warrant approval of a waiver. Therefore, staff recommends DENIAL for the following reasons: 1. Approval of the waiver could possibly alter the essential character of the locality. 2. This waiver is based solely on a desire to save money. 3. The buffer requirement was an original condition of approval of the parking lot. Board of Adjustment Page 4 WA-01-07/Abundant Grace Fellowship as m W nve r7 I A= 46tH cm.

Crook, Pastor EXHIBIT 3 April 11, 2001 Dear Board of Adjustment Members, The Board members of the Abundant Grace Fellowship are requesting a variance of the ordinance requiring us to put up a six-foot privacy fence on the north side of our recently asphalted parking lot. We understand the purpose of the ordinance is to protect residents of adjacent parking lots from the glare of headlights of the parking lot traffic. The house on the property on the north is on the front of their lot towards Wadsworth Blvd. Our parking lot, where the privacy fence is required, is on the back of our lot. Our neighbors to the north, Mr. And Mrs. Leak, have a large empty back lot that they plow and garden. Since there are no houses to our north that would be affected by the headlights of our parking lot traffic, we see no practical purpose for the requirement of the privacy fence. Mr. and Mrs. Leak have also voiced their opposition to the placing of a fence between our two properties. Our parking lot offers them access to the back of their property which has been useful to them in the preparation of their garden and in the removal of branches and debris from the trees on their property. A six-foot privacy fence would deny them that convenient access to their property. As a Church our resources are limited and we are interested in avoiding this unnecessary expense if at all possible. However, we will, of course, promptly abide by your ruling if you should decide to deny our request. Your consideration of our request is much appreciated.

Leak, of 4545 Wadsworth Boulevard, do hereby state that I do not oppose the variance request of my neighbors to the south, Abundant Grace Fellowship of 4535 Wadsworth Boulevard, to forego the requirement to put up a six-foot privacy fence between our properties to shield their newly asphalted parking lot from my property. The area of my property that is immediately adjacent to my neighbor's parking lot is a plowed garden. There are no houses on my property or any adjacent properties that would be affected by the headlights of their parking lot traffic. The shield of the privacy fence is not necessary. I am opposed to such a fence being built between our properties because it would deny a convenient access to the back part of my property that my neighbors have allowed me use.
