Upon a motion by Board Member ABBOTT 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. W A-02-15 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 there were no
protests 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.

TYPE OF VARIANCE: A request for approval of a partial waiver (variance) of Section 26-
502 (landscape requirements) on property zoned Commercial-One (C-l) and located at 4400
Ward Road.
FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS:
1. A total waiver is inconsistent with the city's goals to improve nonconforming commercial
properties in the city and staff believes there are reasonable alternatives available to
enhance existing landscaping.
2. If the applicant does not agree to this compromise and the case is denied, this would
result in adherence to all six components of the commercial landscape standards.
3. There are unique circumstances due to existing landscaping located in the right of way.
4. There may be benefits to the neighborhood if the existing landscaping is enhanced.
