CASE NO: W A-04-01
APPLICANT'S NAME: Cheryl Wise
LOCATION: 4901 Marshall Street
WHEREAS, the applicant was denied permission by an administrative officer; and
WHEREAS, Board of Adjustment Application Case No. W A-04-01 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-04-01 be, and hereby is, APPROVED.
TYPE OF VARIANCE: A 10-foot setback variance from the required 10-foot setback for a
freestanding sign, resulting in a O-foot setback for property zoned Commercial One and
Industrial.
FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS:
1. The location of the structure on the property, the road configuration which is on the
outside of a significant curve in two-lane Highway 72, and grade change between the
street and the building pad site contribute to unique circumstances and hardship on the
property.
2. There is hardship due to the excessive right-of-way for Marshall Street also known as
State Highway 72.
3. Signage of code-complying setback causes patrons driving past, particularly at night, to
be forced to turn around on Marshall, a basically unlit street, thus creating a traffic
hazard.
4. Due to the unusually deep right-of-way of35 feet from the pavement of Highway 72,
with the variance, the visual setback perceived will be 35 feet from the roadway.
