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 13th day of December, 2006.
CASE NO: WA-06-16
APPLICANT'S NAME: Jason Timmes
LOCATION: 4675 Lamar Street
WHEREAS, the applicant was denied permission by an administrative officer; and
W A-06-16 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 WAS one protest 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-06-16 be, and hereby is, APPROVED.
TYPE OF VARIANCE: IS-foot I-inch front yard setback variance from the 30-foot front yard
setback requirement when adjacent to a public street resulting in a 14-foot II-inch front yard
setback for property zoned Residential-Two.
FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS:
1. The request will not negatively change the character ofthe locality. Many adjacent
properties have main or secondary buildings which do not meet the required 30-foot setback
when adjacent to right-of-way.
2. While the hardship can be perceived as being self-imposed, the presence of right-of-way on
two property frontages severely impacts design alternatives for an addition to the existing
structure on a corner lot.
3. The request would not be detrimental to the public welfare. The request would not impair
the adequate supply oflight or air to adjacent properties.

4. No height variance is being requested therefore minimizing the possible bulk plane
appearance.
5. Petitions in favor were submitted by eight adjacent neighbors and staffrecommended
approval.
6. By turning the garage on its vertical axis it allows minimal side setback encroachment while
maintaining functionality ofthe structure and driveway parking and adds an interesting
design element.
7. Improvements are in concert with concepts outlined in the Neighborhood Revitalization
Study.
