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 May, 1999.
CASE NO: WA-99-14
APPLICANT'S NAME: Sandra Thompson
LOCATION: 3231 Oak Street
Upon a motion by Board Member ABBOTT, seconded 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. WA-99-14 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 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-99-14 be, and hereby is, APPROVED.
TYPE OF VARIANCE: A 5.47% variance from the 25% maximum lot coverage requirement
thereby increasing lot coverage to 30.47% in order to construct a home meeting the handicapped
space requirements.
FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS:
Approval of this request should not alter the essential character of the locality. As a
one-story design, the visual effect of this oversized dwelling upon the neighborhood
would be minimized in comparison to the very tall two-story houses most common to this
neighborhood. Also, a two-car garage in a three-car garage neighborhood was designed
as a further accommodation to reduce the overall floor plate.

2. Approval of this request would accommodate a person with a handicap. As an
accommodation under the Department of Veteran's Affairs building guidelines, several
building features such as doorways, hallways, garages and bathrooms must be oversized
beyond normal dimensions. Therefore, a dwelling with an enlarged floor plate can result.
Significant efforts have been made by the architect to minimize the floor plate including
designing the exterior ramp structure to blend architecturally into the dwelling front
elevation.
VOTE: Yes: ABBOTT, BROWN, ECHELMEYER, HOWARD,
HOVLAND and MAURO
No: None
Absent: JUNKER and THIESSEN
DISPOSITION: A 5.47% variance from the 25% maximum lot coverage requirement thereby
increasing lot coverage to 30.47% in order to construct a home meeting the handicapped space
requirements was APPROVED.
ADOPTED and made effective this 27th day of May, 1999.
