CERTIFICATE OF RESOLUTION
ORlGiNAL
I, Ann Lazzeri, Secretary to the City of Wheat Ridge Board of Adjustment, do hereby certity that the following
Resolution was duly adopted in the City of Wheat Ridge, County of Jefferson, State of Colorado on the 26th day of
April, 2001.
CASE NO: WA-0I-04
APPLICANT'S NAME: Tom and Debra Stano
LOCATION: 6295 West 42"' 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. WA-OI-04 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 not be granted 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-O 1-04 be, and
hereby is, DENIED.
TYPE OF VARIANCE: A 22-foot front yard setback variance from the required 30-foot front yard setback
requirement resulting in a proposed 8- foot front yard setback and a I-foot side yard setback variance from the
required 15-foot combined side yard setback resulting in a proposed 14-foot combined side yard setback for the
purpose of constructing a detached garage.
FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS:
I. The home is currently in possession of an attached single car garage on the west side.
2. Approval of this request could potentially alter the essential character of the neighborhood. As evidence,
there is one known front yard setback encroachment in this neighborhood, a variance of 18 feet into the
front yard setback was approved by the Board of Adjustment in 1997 for the property at 6150 West 42"'
Avenue. That property, as such, was subject to a 3D-foot setback and had no garage. The visual impact as
a result of an 18-foot variance is considerable causing significant impact upon the neighborhood view
plane.
3. The placement of a permanent structure within 8 feet of the property line for an interior lot in a single
family residential neighborhood could potentially have an impact on adjacent property values.
4. Construction of a detached garage would not produce significant benefit or contribution to the
neighborhood or community.
5. Approval of this request would not result in a reasonable accommodation of a handicapped person.
6. The plight of the owner is not due to significantly unique circumstances.
7. Alternatives to the mitigation of traffic hazards created by.the curve in West 42"' Avenue may be possible.
