APPLICANT'S NAME: Lee Storrer and Wendy Ammon Storrer
LOCATION: 3365 Union Street
. Upon a motion by Board Member ABBOTT and second by Board Member HOVLAND, the
following resolution was stated:
WHEREAS, the applicant was denied permission by an administrative officer; and
WHEREAS, Board of Adjustment Application Case No. WF-99-0l 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 written protests registered against it, but also in recognition that there were
verbal concerns expressed to this Board from adjacent neighbors;
WHEREAS, the relief applied for may 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 No.
WF-99-01 be, and hereby is, APPROVED.
FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS:
1. The property in question is zoned Residential I-A and the proposed use of the property
for a single family dwelling is permitted as a principal use in that district. The lot is of
sufficient size for the district in that it exceeds the minimum requirements for lot area and
width. The property is located within the single family residential area; therefore, the
proposed use is compatible with the surrounding neighborhood and is in conformance
with the City's Comprehensive Plan.
2. Referrals were sent to Bob Goebel, Director of Public Works and Flood Plain
Administrator, and to Bill DeGroot, Chief of the Flood Plain Management Program
for the Urban Drainage and Flood Control District. Mr. DeGroot responded with no
objections as long as the proposed first floor is a minimum of one foot above the 100-
year flood plain elevation.
3. Upon completion of his review of the application, Mr. Goebel outlined his findings in a
letter dated December 6, 1999 (attachment 7): "It is a requirement of the Flood Storage
District that the first floor elevation be established a minimum of one foot above the base
flood elevation. Therefore the lowest part ofthe structure, supported by the piers, shall
be at a minimum elevation of5, 447.1 feet above sea level." This elevation will be
verified during construction and an elevation certificate from a professional land surveyor
must be submitted prior to issuance of a certificate of occupancy.
WITH THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS.:
1. All engineering provisions as set forth in the letter from Bob Goebel, Director of Public
Works, as submitted to the Board shall be complied with to the satisfaction of the city.
2. No storage of any kind, fence, playground equipment or any other item which could in
any way impact the flood storage area or the flood way shall occur within the flood
storage area or flood way portion of this property. This shall include areas under the
elevated portion of this structure.
