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 24th day of March, 2005.
CASE NO: W A-05-04
APPLICANT'S NAME: John C. Bandimere, Jr.
LOCATION: 3655 Chase Street
WHEREAS, the applicant was denied permission by an administrative officer; and
WHEREAS, Board of Adjustment Application Case No. W A-05-04 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 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.
W A-05-04 be, and hereby is, APPROVED.
TYPE OF VARIANCE: A 2 foot variance to the 6 foot maximum fence height standard
pursuant to Section 26-603 resulting in an 8 foot fence on property zoned Residential-One B (R-
IB) and located at 3655 Chase Street.
FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS:
I. There is an approximately 2 foot grade change along a retaining wall between the
property in question and the property to the south, the property to the south existing
approximately 2 feet above the applicant's property. The manner in which the height of
the fence is measured pursuant to the Code of Laws (from finished grade 5 feet inside the
property which it belongs) makes it problematic to have a true 6 foot privacy fence for
the property owners on this portion of the lot.
2. The request will have a minimal effect on the essential character of the locality. An 8
foot fence at the proposed location will be less impactive than normal given the
significant grade change between the two properties.
3. Six citizens offered to speak in approval of this variance.

2. The fence may stairstep down to 4 feet prior to the front yard setback requirement.
