State of Colorado, on the27th day of August, 1998.
CASE NO: WA-98-24
APPLICANT'S NAME: Pester Marketing Company
LOCATION: 5190 Ward Road
Upon a motion by Board Member ABBOTT, seconded by Board Member ECHELMEYER, the
following resolution was stated:
WHEREAS, the applicant was denied permission by an administrative officer; and
WHEREAS, Board of Adjustment Application Case No. WA-98-24 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-98-24 be, and hereby is, APPROVED.
TYPE OF VARIANCE: A 14.5-foot front yard setback variance to the 50-foot front yard
setback requirement and a 6.5-foot side yard setback variance to the 30-foot side yard setback
requirement to construct a gas station canopy and convenience store on property zoned
Light-Industrial.
FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS:
The applicant plans to raze the entire site and perform a complete redevelopment of the
property.
2. The existing canopy and convenience store encroachments are significantly more than the
proposed encroachments, this despite a dedication of increased right-of-way on Ward
Road.

3. The applicant is proposing to upgrade the property by providing approximately 20%
landscaping coverage, including substantial internal landscaping, beyond the City
requirements and will include a deceleration right-turn lane. Also, the number of
dispensers is being reduced from five to four, therefore approval of this request should
improve the essential character of the locality.
4. The proposed canopy will be located outside the site distance triangle allowing for
adequate visibility by passing motorists. Also, because fuel pump canopies are designed
to be open on all sides, there should be adequate visibility beneath the canopy to allow for
proper internal circulation and site distance.
5. Approval of this request will directly benefit the neighborhood and community, and will
allow for positive redevelopment of a property that currently does not allow for much
aesthetic relief.
