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 24th day of June, 1999.
CASE NO: WA-99-15
APPLICANT'S NAME: Ben Bandimere
LOCATION: 4470 Lee Street
Upon a motion by Board Member ABBOTT, seconded by Board Member BROWN, the following
resolution was stated:
WHEREAS, the applicant was denied permission by an administrative officer; and
WHEREAS, Board of Adjustment Application Case No. WA-99-15 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 three protests registered against it; and
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. WA-
99-15 be, and hereby is, APPROVED.
TYPE OF VARIANCE: A request for a 953 square-foot lot area and 15 foot lot width variance for
property located at 4470 Lee Street.
FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS:
The property is located in an area surrounded by several apartment structures and adjacent to
an existing church. The applicant will be required to comply with existing setbacks
established for this specific zone district; therefore, approval of this request should not
substantially alter the essential character of the locality.
2. Granting of this variance will not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to other
properties or improvements in the neighborhood as approval of this variation will only
permit a change in density. The granting of this request will result in minimum density
impact as it will enable the increase of only one additional family.

3. The ownership of the existing duplex on the adjacent lot has been short-term which points to
the less than desirable location for long-term single family occupancy. The single family
occupancy would exist completely surrounded by multi-family or commercial.
4. The subdivision of this parcel by City Council created one standard and one substandard lot
related to the allowable size for construction of two duplexes. As a legal duplex has been
constructed on lot 2 since the previous time the Board heard this request and for the above
stated reasons, it would now seem economically unfeasible to build a single-family
occupancy on this lot.
VOTE: YES: ABBOTT, BROWN, HOWARD
NO: ECHELMEYER, HOVLAND, THIESSEN
ABSENT: JUNKER, MAURO
DISPOSITION: A request for a 953 square-foot lot area and 15 foot lot width variance for
property located at 4470 Lee Street for the purpose of building a duplex, was denied by a vote of 3
to 3 based on Chapter 2, Article 3, Section 2-53(d) of the City of Wheat Ridge Code of Laws which
state that Board of Adjustment motions not carried are thereby deemed denied.
ADOPTED and made effective this 24th day of June, 1999.
