addition would match the house's building materials and roof line.
In response to a question from Board Member BELL, Mr. Sherman stated that he
would replace the large cedar tree demolished by,-,- recentstorm with a fast-
growing type of tree. The tree had provided some`screemng from the adjacent

TO: Board of Adjustment CASE MANAGER: Jeff Hirt
CASE NO. & NAME: WA-09-04/Sherman DATE: June 25, 2009
ACTION REQUESTED: Approval of a variance of up to 10 feet from the required 15 foot side yard setback for an
addition to the principal structure resulting in a 5 foot side yard setback on property
located at 3302 Moore Street and zoned Residential One (R-1).

JURISDICTION:
All notification and posting requirements have been met; therefore, there is jurisdiction to hear this request.
1. REQUEST
The applicant is requesting approval of a variance of up to 10 feet from the required 15 foot side yard setback
for an addition to the principal structure resulting in a 5 foot side yard setback (Exhibit 1, Letter of=Request).
The purpose of the variance is to allow for the construction of an approximately 70 square foot addition (7'2" X
9'8") (Exhibit 2; SitePlan and Improvement Location Certificate).
Section 26-115.C (Variances and Waivers) of the Wheat Ridge City Code empowers the Board of Adjustment
to hear and decide on variances from the strict application of the zoning district development standards.
Variance requests of over 50% from the development standards are required to be heard at a public hearing
before the Board of Adjustment.
II. CASE ANALYSIS
Robert Sherman is requesting this variance as the property owner. The subject property is 115.5 feet wide by
109 feet deep and 12,590 square feet in total area. There is an existing approximately 2,500 square foot single
family residence on the property (Exhibit Site Photos); The applicant wishes to construct an approximately
70 square foot addition to serve the single family residence. The applicant has also expressed that the addition
will be done in a manner to match the existing house relative to roof and wall materials.
The property is zoned Residential One (R-1), which carries with it a set of development standards that include
the following for the principal structure:
• Front Setback: 30'
• Side Setback: 15'
• Rear Setback: 15'
It is important to note that the existing structure on the south side sits slightly less than the required 15' side
setback at 14.8' so it already encroaches into the required setback. Staff did not find any evidence of variances
granted in the immediate vicinity. All surrounding properties are single family residential and are zoned
Residential One (R-1).
The applicant has collected three signatures from adjacent property owners indicating their support of the
application, including the property owner most impacted by the proposed variance (Exhibit 4, Letters of
Support). Property owners the immediate south and west, as well as directly across the street have signed letters
in support of the application.
It is also noteworthy that there is existing mature vegetation that obscures the view of the addition from the
street and from adjacent property.
Administrative Variance
Case No. WA-09-04ISherman
VARIANCE CRITERIA
In order to authorize a variance, the Board of Adjustment must determine that the majority of the "criteria for
review" listed in Section 26-115.C.4 of the City Code have been met. Staff provides the following review and
analysis of the variance criteria.
1. The property in question would not 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 were denied, the property may still yield a reasonable return in use. The property would
still function as a single family residence without the need for the variance. Alternative placement
options are available for additions to the house. Staff finds that this criterion has not been met.
2. The variance would not alter the essential character of the locality.
The variance would not alter the essential character of the locality. The addition would be small enough
and not visible from the street and with minimal visibility from adjacent property. Staff finds that this
criterion has been met.
3. The applicant is proposing a substantial investment in the property with this application, which
would not be possible without the variance.
The applicant is proposing a substantial investment in the property that may not be possible without the
variance. The applicant has expressed that the intent of the variance request is to serve the master
bedroom of the house, and this area cannot be added to without a variance. Staff finds this criterion has
been met.
4. The particular physical surrounding, shape or topographical condition of the specific property
involved results 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 not any particular or unique hardships on the property that would restrict the applicant's
ability to construct an addition on other sides of the house. The applicant is requesting this variance
because the proposed addition is adjacent to a master bedroom it is intended to serve, which incidentally
is on the side yard with no available space to build on to without a variance. Staff does not consider this
a particular and unique hardship. It should be noted however that 15 foot setbacks on both side and rear
lot lines does present a significantly smaller buildable area of the property than most other zone districts.
Staff finds that this criterion has not been met.
5. The alleged difficulty or hardship has not been created by any person presently having an interest
in the property.
The applicant has created their own hardship by requesting the variance. There are alternative locations
available for additions to the house within the setback requirements. Staff finds that this criterion has
not been met.
6. The granting of the variance would not 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
Administrative Variance
Case No. WA-09-04ISherman
things, substantially or permanently impairing the appropriate use or development of adjacent
property, 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 request would not be detrimental to public welfare and would not be injurious to neighboring
property or improvements. It would not hinder or impair the development of the adjacent property. The
adequate supply of air and light would be slightly compromised with the property to the south as a result
of this request. This property owner however has expressed approval of the proposed addition. The
request would not increase the congestion in the streets, nor would it increase the danger of fire. The
request will most likely not have an effect on property values in the neighborhood. Staff finds that this
criterion has been met.
7. The unusual circumstances or conditions necessitating the variance request are present in the
neighborhood and are not unique to the property.
The conditions necessitating the variance request are present in the neighborhood and are not unique to
the subject property. All surrounding properties are zoned Residential One (R-1) and have the same
setback requirements, which presents a significantly smaller buildable area relative to other zone
districts. Staff finds that this criterion has been met.
8. Granting of the variance would result in a reasonable accommodation of a person with disabilities.
Staff finds that this criterion is not applicable. Single family dwellings are not subject to accessibility
requirements.
9. The application is in substantial compliance with the applicable standards set forth in the
Architectural and Site Design Manual.
Staff finds this criterion is not applicable as the variance request involves a detached garage for a single
family dwelling.
III. STAFF CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Having found the application in compliance with the majority of the review criteria, staff recommends approval
of the variance request. Staff has found that there are unique circumstances attributed to this request that would
warrant approval of a variance. Therefore, staff recommends APPROVAL for the following reasons:
1. The variance would not alter the essential character of the locality.
2. The applicant is proposing a substantial investment in the property that may not be possible without the
variance.
3. The request would not be detrimental to public welfare and would not be injurious to neighboring
property or improvements.
4. The conditions necessitating the variance request are present in the neighborhood and are not unique to
the subject property.

EXHIBIT 1: LETTER OF REQUEST
City of Wheat Ridge
Board or Adjustment
To whom it may Concern:
We are making this request fora Variance from the guid6incs on the property
located at 3305 Moore 5t. Pursuant to that request the following exigent
eircurnstances exist:
a. This is an old farmhouse. My wife is required to dress in a fashion that is
commensurate with the twenty first century. The closet space in this particular
house ums built with the farm hand mentality, namely one Sunday outfit, In
order for her to perform at her highest level she must eonsUirntly rotate her
wardrobe: from closet to closet with the season. Granting this variance would
allow her to locate moat of bet clothing in one location,
b_ The granting of the variance would not alter the csential character of dic
locality; it would be barely visible from the front of the property,
c. If the variance were granted, the space in qucWon would be used to its Fullest
extent. The proposed location is the only place this addition will %wk.
d, The surrounding topography lends itself to a simple addition. were the
addition to be added to the west side of the house it doesn't work from a
lirncuonal point of view.
e. The alleged hardship is that the property is zoned R-1. My wife or myself did
not cause this zoning.
f The granting of this variance would increase the value of the subject property
and conraxtuently the entire neighborhood.
& The unusual circumstances necessitating the variance request are present in
the neighborhood by it's zoning of R-1.
h. Granting this variance would result in an accommodation of a person with
disabilities. presently the rotation of wardrobe requires the use of the stairway,
which a disabled person could not use.
L It is my belief that granting this variance is in compliance with the
Architectural and Site Design. Manual,
We hope that this letter clears up any questions.
Respectfully.

JURISDICTION:
All notification and posting requirements have been met; therefore, there is jurisdiction to hear this request.
1. REQUEST
The applicant is requesting approval of a variance of up to 10 feet from the required 15 foot side yard setback
for an addition to the principal structure resulting in a 5 foot side yard setback (Exlubrt 1 =Letter of Request).
The purpose of the variance is to allow for the construction of an approximately 70 square foot addition (7'2" X
9'8' (Exhibit 2, Sxte:Plan and Improvement Location Certif cate),.
Section 26-115.C (Variances and Waivers) of the Wheat Ridge City Code empowers the Board of Adjustment
to hear and decide on variances from the strict application of the zoning district development standards.
Variance requests of over 50% from the development standards are required to be heard at a public hearing
before the Board of Adjustment.
II. CASE ANALYSIS
Robert Sherman is requesting this variance as the property owner. The subject property is 115.5 feet wide by
109 feet deep and 12,590 square feet in total area. There is an existing approximately 2,500 square foot single
family residence on the property (E~iluBt 3, SrYe Photos}:. The applicant wishes to construct an approximately
70 square foot addition to serve the single family residence. The applicant has also expressed that the addition
will be done in a manner to match the existing house relative to roof and wall materials.
The property is zoned Residential One (R-1), which carries with it a set of development standards that include
the following for the principal structure:
• Front Setback: 30'
• Side Setback: 15'
• Rear Setback: 15'
It is important to note that the existing structure on the south side sits slightly less than the required 15' side
setback at 14.8' so it already encroaches into the required setback. Staff did not find any evidence of variances
granted in the immediate vicinity. All surrounding properties are single family residential and are zoned
Residential One (R-1).
The applicant has collected three signatures from adjacent property owners indicating their support of the
application, including the property owner most impacted by the proposed variance (E[it'4 Lefe}s c
A Q
~'a'~ppoztt~. Property owners the immediate south and west, as well as directly across the street have signed letters
in support of the application.
It is also noteworthy that there is existing mature vegetation that obscures the view of the addition from the
street and from adjacent property.
Administrative Variance
Case No. WA-09-04ISherman
VARIANCE CRITERIA
In order to authorize a variance, the Board of Adjustment must determine that the majority of the "criteria for
review" listed in Section 26-115.C.4 of the City Code have been met. Staff provides the following review and
analysis of the variance criteria.
1. The property in question would not 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 were denied, the property may still yield a reasonable return in use. The property would
still function as a single family residence without the need for the variance. Alternative placement
options are available for additions to the house. Staff finds that this criterion has not been met.
2. The variance would not alter the essential character of the locality.
The variance would not alter the essential character of the locality. The addition would be small enough
and not visible from the street and with minimal visibility from adjacent property. Staff finds that this
criterion has been met.
3. The applicant is proposing a substantial investment in the property with this application, which
would not be possible without the variance.
The applicant is proposing a substantial investment in the property that may not be possible without the
variance. The applicant has expressed that the intent of the variance request is to serve the master
bedroom of the house, and this area cannot be added to without a variance. Staff finds this criterion has
been met.
4. The particular physical surrounding, shape or topographical condition of the specific property
involved results 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 not any particular or unique hardships on the property that would restrict the applicant's
ability to construct an addition on other sides of the house. The applicant is requesting this variance
because the proposed addition is adjacent to a master bedroom it is intended to serve, which incidentally
is on the side yard with no available space to build on to without a variance. Staff does not consider this
a particular and unique hardship. It should be noted however that 15 foot setbacks on both side and rear
lot lines does present a significantly smaller buildable area of the property than most other zone districts.
Staff finds that this criterion has not been met.
5. The alleged difficulty or hardship has not been created by any person presently having an interest
in the property.
The applicant has created their own hardship by requesting the variance. There are alternative locations
available for additions to the house within the setback requirements. Staff finds that this criterion has
not been met.
6. The granting of the variance would not 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
Administrative Variance
Case No. WA-09-04/Sherman
things, substantially or permanently impairing the appropriate use or development of adjacent
property, 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 request would not be detrimental to public welfare and would not be injurious to neighboring
property or improvements. It would not hinder or impair the development of the adjacent property. The
adequate supply of air and light would be slightly compromised with the property to the south as a result
of this request. This property owner however has expressed approval of the proposed addition. The
request would not increase the congestion in the streets, nor would it increase the danger of fire. The
request will most likely not have an effect on property values in the neighborhood. Staff finds that this
criterion has been met.
7. The unusual circumstances or conditions necessitating the variance request are present in the
neighborhood and are not unique to the property.
The conditions necessitating the variance request are present in the neighborhood and are not unique to
the subject property. All surrounding properties are zoned Residential One (R-1) and have the same
setback requirements, which presents a significantly smaller buildable area relative to other zone
districts. Staff finds that this criterion has been met.
8. Granting of the variance would result in a reasonable accommodation of a person with disabilities.
Staff finds that this criterion is not applicable. Single family dwellings are not subject to accessibility
requirements.
9. The application is in substantial compliance with the applicable standards set forth in the
Architectural and Site Design Manual.
Staff finds this criterion is not applicable as the variance request involves a detached garage for a single
family dwelling.
III. STAFF CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Having found the application in compliance with the majority of the review criteria, staff recommends approval
of the variance request. Staff has found that there are unique circumstances attributed to this request that would
warrant approval of a variance. Therefore, staff recommends APPROVAL for the following reasons:
1. The variance would not alter the essential character of the locality.
2. The applicant is proposing a substantial investment in the property that may not be possible without the
variance.
3. The request would not be detrimental to public welfare and would not be injurious to neighboring
property or improvements.
4. The conditions necessitating the variance request are present in the neighborhood and are not unique to
the subject property.

EXHIBIT 1: LETTER OF REQUEST
Board of Adjustment
To whom it may Concern:
We are making this request for a Variance from the guideliaes on the property
located at 3305 Moore St. Pursuant to that request the following exigent
circumstances exist.
a. This is an old farmlmuse_ My wife is required to dress in a fashion that is
commensurate with the twenty first century. The closet space in this particular
house was built with the farm hand mentality: namely one Sunday outfit, In
order for her to perform at her highest level she must constantly rotate her
wardrobe from closet tar closet with the season. Granting this variance would
allow her to locate most of her clothing in one location,
b. The granting of the variance would not alter the essential character of die
locality; it would be barely visible from the front of the property.
C. If the variance were granted, the space in question would be used to its fullest
extent. The proposed location is the only place this addition will worm.
d. The surrounding topography lends itself to a simple addition. Were the
addition to be added to the west side of the house it doesn't work from a
fimctional point of view.
e. 111 alleged hardship is that the property is zoned R-I_ My wife or myself did
not cause this zoning.
f. The granting of this variance would increase the value of the subject property
and consequently the entire neighborhood.
g. The unusual circumstances necessitating the variance request are present in
the neighborhood by it's zoning of R-1.
L Granting this variance would result in an accomtnoda-lion of a person with
disabilities. Presently the rotation ofwardrobe requires the use of the stairway,
which a disabled person could not use-
i. It is my belief that granting this variance is in complianee with the
Architectural and Site Design Manual,
We hope that this letter clears up any questions.
Respectfully,
Robert V Sherman
