CERTIFICATE OF RESOLUTION
I, Ann Lazzeri, Secretary to the City of Wheat Ridge Board of Adjustment, do hereby certify that
thefollowing Resolution was duly adopted in the City of Wheat Ridge, County of Jefferson,
State of Colorado, on the 26th day of Mav, 2005.
CASE NO: W A-05-09
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-05-09 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-05-09 be, and hereby is, APPROVED.
TYPE OF VARIANCE: A 5 foot side setback variance from the 10 foot side setback
requirement for detached garages over 8 feet in height on property zoned Residential-Three.
FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS:
1. The applicant has very limited options for placement of garages sufficient to
accommodate an 8-unit multi-family structure without the need for a variance.
2. Garages are seen by Jeffco Housing and Wheat Ridge Housing Authority as very much
affecting the likelihood of achieving the goals of both Jeffco and Wheat Ridge Housing
Authorities.
3. Approval of the variance would hopefully provide an incentive to make improvements to
a dilapidated property and perhaps be influential for adjacent properties to do or request
the same.
4. The intent of the property being owned by the Wheat Ridge Housing Authority is to
provide a public service resulting in a benefit to the community.
5. The adjacent property to the 'north is also zoned multi-family.
6. The corner lot status ofthis apartment building places the building with a significant
double front yard setback therefore limiting available space in the rear and side yards.
This has caused a hardship in the design of aviable project.

7. The 10- foot required setbacks do not seem to provide a definable benefit to this
neighborhood due to the configuration of adjacent occupancies.
8. There has been no neighborhood opposition registered.
WITH THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS:
1. Ifit is determined that any portion of the 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.
3. The setback area being varied behind the garages shall be enclosed for security,
prevention of storage of illicit materials, and graffiti control.
