Upon motion by Board Member ABBOTT, seconded by Boazd Member HOVLAND, the

Whereas, the applicant was denied permission by an Administrative Officer; and
Whereas, Boazd of Adjustment Application, Case No. WA-97-31 is an appeal to this
Board from the decision of an Administrative Officer; and

Type of Variance: A Request for approval of a 953 square foot lot area variance to the
9,000 squaze foot lot azea requirement and a 15 foot lot width
variance to the 75' foot lot width requirement for the purpose of
building atwo-family residence.
For the Following Reasons:
Criteria:
1. According to Section 26-15 (F), of the Wheat Ridge Code of Laws, cone-family
dwelling in the Residential-Two A zone district can be located on a 7,500 square
foot property with a 60 foot lot width. Therefore, if the request is denied, the
property may yield a reasonable return in use, service and income.
2. The property was subdivided with the understanding by the Planning
Commission, that it was to remain a single family parcel. The applicant was
made aware during the subdivision process that the property was substandazd in
lot width and lot azea for the development of a duplex.
3. The property currently exists as a primarily rectangular lot, although the southern
property line meanders to the east at a slight angle there is inadequate building
envelope established that would permit proper development of a sizable
residential structure.
4. The hardship has been created by the applicant through the subdivision process.
The applicant has sole interest in the property.
5.. There would appear to be no hardship other than the lot size and width. There are
several properties throughout the City of Wheat Ridge which exist as substandazd
lots of record, this hardship situation is common to all of these properties.
