State of Colorado, on the 22"d day of January, 1998. ,
Case No: WF,-97-29
Applicant's Name: Robert Davis
Location: 12075 West 29`h Place
Upon motion by Board Member ABBOTT, seconded by Boazd Member THIESSEN, the
following resolution was stated.
Whereas, the applicant was denied permission by an Administrative Officer; and
Whereas, Board of Adjustment Application, Case No. WA-97-29 is an appeal to this
Board from the decision of an Administrative Officer; and
Whereas, the property has been posted the required 15 days 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.
WA-97-29, be and hereby is APPROVED.
Type of Variance: A Request for approval of a 17'-6" front yard setback variance to
the 30' front yard setback requirements for the purpose of
constructing an addition to their garage. _ The property is zoned
Residential-One and is located at 12075 West 29`s Place.
For the Following Reasons:
1. According to the applicant and the Engineer's report there is considerable water
pooling near the existing garage and foundation, resulting in ground slump and
settling of the house. Pursuant to the report supplied by the Engineer, approval of
the garage extension should provide a suitable solution to the existing drainage
problem.
2. The property was platted with an odd rectangular shape, that does not allow for
many development opportunities. The property goes from a depth of 70 foot to
127 foot, west to east. And as previously stated, the existing condition of the
property does allow for snow and rain run off to drain towards the house, causing
__ _ __
r
considerable structural problems.
3. Approval of this request will not impair the adequate supply of light and air to
adjacent properties. Impervious surfaces are not increased substantially, although
no exact percentage was presented.
4. A petition bearing positive signatures was submitted by the applicant, including
the signature of the neighbor immediately to the west.
With the Following Conditions:
A. No drainage situation shall be created by the new structure or adjacent driveway
and improvements which would be detrimental to adjacent properties.
B. The Engineer's report will be submitted to the City indicating that the driveway
length and the relatively small elevation differential between the garage floor and
curb will preclude obtaining a positive grade away from the garage, even with the
complete driveway removal and replacement. The Engineer's report will indicate
that the dimensions that the applicant proposed for the gazage are necessary to
reach the point on the driveway where the adequate slope can be obtained beriveen
the garage slab and the curb.
C. The Engineer's report will be submitted to staff prior to issuance of a building
permit.
