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 23rd day of October. 2003.
CASE NO: WA-03-13 (A&B)
APPLICANT'S NAME: William Hinkley
LOCATION: 4892 Marshall Street
WHEREAS, the applicant was denied permission by an administrative officer; and
WHEREAS, Board of Adjustment Application Case No.W A-03-I3 (A&B) 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
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.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that Board of Adjustment Application Case No.
W A-03-13 (A&B) be, and hereby is, APPROVED.
TYPE OF VARIANCE: (A) A partial waiver of Section 26-502 (Landscape Requirements)
and (B) an increase to maximum lot coverage for property zoned Commercial-One (C-l).
FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS:
1. In regard to part (A), it is noted that the land being built on is not appropriate at this time for
landscaping due to current use and prevailing conditions of the neighborhood. The applicant
has indicated a willingness to significantly increase landscaping at the site in connection with
this proposal.
2. In regard to part (B), this addition will exceed the normal lot coverage but will also
significantly improve the appearance of the area by eliminating outdoor storage and
increasing the level of security of the property pertaining to this business.
3. In addition to these reasons, it is noted again that no protests have been registered by any
landowners in the area and it is an unusual area due to the existing street configuration.
\
\
4. Most of the surrounding properties have less than the required 20% landscaping coverage
because they were constructed under a previous code and therefore this does not alter the
essential character of the locality in any respect.

5. Lamar Street is used, in fact, as an alley rather than a street. Therefore, landscaping it would
appear impractical and of no benefit to the neighborhood.
6. Currently occurring non-complying outside storage will become complying inside storage
and therefore benefit the neighborhood.
WITH THE FOLLOWING CONDITION:
1. The size of the addition is not to exceed the size presented at the hearing.
2. Landscaping is to occur as discussed at the hearing.
