CERTIFICATE OF RESOLUTION
ORIGINAL
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 26th day of September. 2002.
CASE NO. W A-02-08(A)
APPLICANT'S NAME: The Buckeye Gronp
LOCATION: 6390 West 39th Avenue
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. W A-02-08(A) 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 protests were registered against the application; and
WHEREAS, the relief applied for MAYbe 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.
W A-02-08(A) be, and hereby is, APPROVED.
TYPE OF VARIANCE: A 6-foot front yard setback variance resulting in a 24-foot front yard
setback.
FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS:
I. The general intent of setbacks is to provide separation between adjacent structures and
streets within the neighborhood. This is to provide an open view perspective within the
neighborhood among other things. The proposed structure actually sits well beyond the
recognized 30-foot setback from West 39th Avenue, therefore this structure will appear to
the neighborhood as well set back from average. Lamar Street extending only some 30
feet south from its intersection with West 39th creates an anomalous and technical basis
for setback measurement.
2. The average front yard setback in the neighborhood is approximately 24 feet. If this 6-
foot variance from the standard is applied there will be no tangible visual difference from
the requested 6 feet, therefore it would seem to be a practical and non-detrimental plan
and variance.

3. The lot size far exceeds the minimum lot size requirement of 5,000 square feet in the R-
I C zone district.
4. The request would mostly likely not have an effect on property values in the
neighborhood.
