CERTIFICATE OF RESOLUTION
I, Ann Lazzeri, Secretary to the City of Wheat Ridge Board of Adjustment, do hereby certifY that
the following Resolution was duly adopted in the City of Wheat Ridge, County of Jefferson, State
of Colorado on the 27th day of September, 2000.
CASE NO: W A-00-07
APPLICANT'S NAME: Waiter Kelleigh
LOCATION: 6680 West 28th Avenue
Upon a motion by Board Member ABBOTT 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. W A-OO-07 is an appeal to this Board
from the decision of an administrative officer; and
WHEREAS, the property has been posted the required fifteen days by law, and in recognition
that there were no protests registered against it; and
WHEREAS, the relief applied for may be granted without substantially impairing the intent and
purpose ofthe regulations governing the City of Wheat Ridge.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that Board of Adjustment Application Case No.
W A-OO-07 be, and hereby is, APPROVED.
TYPE OF VARIANCE: Ten-foot side yard setback variance from the 15-foot side yard
setback requirement in an R-I zone district for the purpose of constructing a two-car detached
garage.
FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS:
1. The proposed structure would encroach upon 10 feet of the required 15-foot side yard
setback. There are other encroachments of a similar nature in the neighborhood.
Adjacent properties to the east and west have insufficient side yard setbacks as well due to
the nonconforming lot sizes. The adjacent property to the west has a single family home
with a 5-foot setback from the side property line. Maximum building coverage for a single
family home in anR-l zoning district is 25% of the overall lot area. With the proposed
garage, the overall lot coverage would be approximately 19%, or 1,838 square feet.
Therefore, it would appear that the variance would not alter the character of the
neighborhood.

2. The site is nonconforming R-l property. It is 2,935 square feet short of the required
12,500 square feet for a single family home. The lot has several mature trees in the rear of
the lot. There currently is no garage on this property and there appears to be no other
viable location for one.
3. The proposed detached garage structure should not impair the adeqnate light and air to
adjacent properties because it will not result in a setback which is less than the 5-foot
setback for the neighboring structure to the west. Due to other similar encroachments in
the neighborhood, it should not impair property values. The requested variance does not
involve additional housing units and therefore will not increase traffic.
4. Granting of the variance should result in a benefit or contnoution to the neighborhood.
5. Staff recommended approval of the variance.
6. It appears to not be practical to attach the proposed garage to the existing structure due to
the varying alignment of the west wall of the existing dwelling causing a driveway
alignment problem.
WITH THE FOLLOWING CONDITION:
1. The outside fucing ofthe garage structure shall be brick on the West 28th Avenue side.
