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-05-06
APPLICANT'S NAME: Wheat Ridge Housing Authority
LOCATION: 4501 Everett Street
WHEREAS, the applicant was denied permission by an administrative officer; and
WHEREAS, Board of Adjustment Application Case No. W A-05-06 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-05-06 be, and hereby is, APPROVED.
TYPE OF VARIANCE: A 5 foot side and 5 foot rear yard setback variance from the 10 foot
side and 10 foot rear yard setback requirement for detached garages over 8 feet in height on
property zoned Residential-Three (R-)) and located at 4501 Everett Street.
FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS:
1. The applicant has very limited options for placement of a garage to accommodate an 8-
unit multi-family structure without the need for a variance or variances.
2. Approval of the variance would hopefully provide an incentive to make improvements to
a dilapidated property and perhaps be influential to adjacent properties to do or request
the same. The intent of the property being owned by the Wheat Ridge Housing Authority
is to provide a public service therefore resulting in a benefit to the community.
3. The adjacent property to the north is also zoned multi-family.

4. The corner lot placement of this apartment building places the building with a significant
double front yard setback therefore limiting available space in the rear.
5. The 10 foot required setbacks do not seem to provide a definable benefit to this
neighborhood as compared to a less dense location.
WITH THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS:
1. If it is determined that any portion of this structure is within the 100-year floodplain, a
Class I floodplain exception will be required prior to issuance of a building permit.
2. The structure shall not have an exterior with visible metal materials.
