ORIGINAL
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 27th day of March 2008.
CASE NO: WA-07-23
APPLICANT'S NAME: Milt and Mary Austin
LOCATION OF INTERPRETATION: 15 Twilight Drive
WHEREAS, the applicant was denied permission by an administrative officer; and
WHEREAS, Board of Adjustment Application Case Number W A-07-23 is an appeal to this
Board from the decision of an administrative officer and in recognition that there were no
protests registered against it; and
WHEREAS, the property has been posted the fifteen days required by law; 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
Number W A-07-23 be, and hereby is DENIED.
TYPE OF VARIANCE: A 7.5 foot side yard setback variance from the 15 foot setback
requirement resulting in a 7.5 foot side yard setback on property zoned Residential One.
FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS:
I. Staff finds variance criteria number one has not been met and the Board concurs. Unique
to this lot is the possibility that there is no place on the lot where a shed would not be
considered obtrusive to an adjacent neighbor although required setbacks could be met.
2. Staff finds that variance criteria number two has not been met and the Board concurs.
3. Staff finds that variance criteria number three has not been met and the Board concurs.
In the opinion of the Board, investment does not rise to the level of substantial in this
case.
4. Staff finds that variance criteria number four has not been met and the Board would
concur in this case considering that three 30- foot required setbacks are unusual.
However, the lot immediately adjacent to the shed site sits a few feet lower than the shed
site itself thereby exacerbating the impact of the setback encroachment requested.
