JURISDICTION:
All notification and posting requirements have been met; therefore, there is jurisdiction to make a decision
regarding this case.
I. REQUEST
The applicant is requesting approval of a 788 square foot (6%) building coverage variance for a new
single family structure in the Residential -One (R-1) zone district (Exhibit 1, Letter of Request). The
purpose of the variance is to allow for construction of a new single family residence.
Section 26-115.0 (Variances and Waivers) of the Wheat Ridge City Code empowers the Director of
Community Development to decide upon application for administrative variances from the strict
application of the zoning district development standards that are not in excess of fifty -percent (50%) of
the standard.
II. CASE ANALYSIS
The applicant, Louis J. Ficco, is requesting the variance as the owner of the property at 3205 Iris Court.
The subject property has an area of approximately 12,525 square feet, and is located on the northwest
corner of W. 32nd Avenue and Iris Court. The site is zoned R-1 and is surrounded on three sides (north,
east, and west) by other properties which are zoned R-1 and have single family homes on them. To the
south, across W. 32"d Avenue is Crown Hill Park; a 242 -acre recreation area owned and operated by
Jefferson County Open Space in unincorporated Jefferson County (Exhibit 2, Zoning).
The applicant wishes to construct a new single family residence (Exhibit 3, Site Plan). The R-1 zone
district allows maximum lot coverage of 25%. Section 26-123 defines building coverage as the portion
of lot which is covered by main or accessory structures. Based on the lot size, a total of 3,131 square
feet of structures may occupy the lot. The applicant wishes to construct a 3,919 square foot structure,
which is 788 square feet above the allowed maximum or a 6% variance.
The property is located in the Applewood Preserve Subdivision which was platted in 2005 and
contains twelve lots. Nine of the twelve lots are developed with large custom homes. Homes in the
subdivision have footprints of at least 3,500 square feet and are valued in the $700,000 to
$1,000,000 range.
The proposed home will be a single story, ranch style specifically designed to meet the needs of the
homeowners. Features of the home include a three -car garage, an enhanced entry way and covered
patios along the western side of the house. All other requirements of the R-1 zone district have been
met including setbacks and building height.
Public Notice Responses
During the 10 -day public posting period, no written comments were received in regards to the proposed lot
coverage variance.
Case No. WA-15-02/Ficco
III. VARIANCE CRITERIA
The Director of Community Development shall base his decision in consideration of the extent to
which the applicant demonstrates that a majority of the "criteria for review" listed in Section 26-
115.C.4 of the City Code have been met. The applicant has provided an analysis of the application's
compliance with the variance criteria. Staff provides the following review and analysis.
1. The property in question would not yield a reasonable return in use, service or income if
permitted to be used only under the conditions allowed by regulation for the district in
which it is located.
If the request were denied, the property would continue to yield a reasonable return in use. The
property is currently vacant; however, a conforming structure could be constructed on the lot
which meets all development standards.
Staff finds this criterion has not been met.
2. The variance would not alter the essential character of the locality.
If the request were granted, the character of the locality would not be altered. The proposed
house is consistent with the size and style of the other houses in the Applewood Preserve
Subdivision. The slight increase in building coverage will not be discernable (Exhibit 4,
Architectural Elevations).
Staff finds this criterion has been met.
3. The applicant is proposing a substantial investment in the property with this application,
which would not be possible without the variance.
The applicant is proposing a substantial investment in the property, which would not be
possible without the variance. The applicants have proposed a design which is consistent with
the surrounding homes and the subdivision (Exhibit S, Site Photos).
Staff finds this criterion has been met.
4. The particular physical surrounding, shape or topographical condition of the specific
property involved results in a particular and unique hardship (upon the owner) as
distinguished from a mere inconvenience if the strict letter of the regulations were carried
out.
The property has a typical rectangular shape and is relatively flat. The size, shape or
topographical condition does not result in a hardship.
Staff finds this criterion has not been met.
Case No. WA -1 S-02/Ficco
5. The alleged difficulty or hardship has not been created by any person presently having an
interest in the property.
The hardship has been self-created. The applicant could construct a smaller sized house.
Staff finds this criterion has not been met.
6. The granting of the variance would not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious
to other property or improvements in the neighborhood in which the property is located,
by, among other things, substantially or permanently impairing the appropriate use or
development of adjacent property, , impairing the adequate supply of light and air to
adjacent property, substantially increasing the congestion in public streets or increasing
the danger of fire or endangering the public safety, or substantially diminishing or
impairing property values within the neighborhood.
Granting the variance would not be detrimental to the public welfare. The lot coverage increase
would not impair adequate light, air to adjacent properties or increase congestion. The request
will not increase the danger of fire, nor should it have an effect on property values.
Staff finds this criterion has been met.
7. The unusual circumstances or conditions necessitating the variance request are present in
the neighborhood and are not unique to the property.
The unusual circumstances of the subject property are present in the Applewood Preserve
Subdivision. Three neighboring properties in the subdivision were granted lot coverage
variances in 2005 that exceed the R-1 lot coverage standard (Exhibit 6, Neighborhood
Conditions).
Staff finds that this criterion has been met.
8. Granting of the variance would result in a reasonable accommodation of a person with
disabilities.
Granting of the variance would result in a reasonable accommodation of a person with
disabilities. The applicant is proposing to construct a single -level ranch style home; which is
more accommodating than vertically oriented multi -story housing.
Staff finds that this criterion has been met.
Case No. WA-15-02/Ficco
9. The application is in substantial compliance with the applicable standards set forth in the
Architectural and Site Design Manual
The Architectural and Site Design Manual does not apply to single and two family dwelling
units.
Staff finds this criterion is not applicable.
IV. STAFF CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Having found the application in compliance with the majority of the applicable review criteria, staff
recommends approval of a 788 square foot (6%) variance from the 3,131 square foot (25%) maximum
lot coverage standard in the Residential -One zone district. Staff has found that there are unique
circumstances attributed to this request that would warrant approval of a variance. Therefore, staff
recommends approval for the following reasons:
1.) The variance request would not alter the essential character of the subdivision.
2.) The applicant is proposing a substantial investment that will benefit the neighborhood.
3.) The proposed lot coverage variance is consistent with existing conditions in the Applewood
Preserve Subdivision where three other properties have been granted lot coverage variances.
4.) The request would not be detrimental or injurious to the public welfare.
With the following condition:
1.) The home is built in compliance with the site plan and architecture included in the report.
Case No. WA-15-02/Ficco
EXHIBIT 1: Letter of Request
To Whom It May Concern:
This letter is in response to the Review Criteria in applying for a variance.. The
variance that we are asking for is an increase in lot coverage from 25% to 31% for
3205 Ins CL The Applewood Preserve Subdivision is one of the premier
subdivisions in the City of Wheat Ridge. It consists of 12 custom home sites (9 of
which are completed) that are valued in the million -dollar range. 3205 Ins Ct. Is the
lot on the corner o(32" and Ins_ This lot is under contract contingent on the
approval of the future owners plans. Before summiting the plans for plan review for
a building permit we are asking for a variance of 6% in lot coverage because the
current plan is over maximum lot coverage. The future homeowners are a
proposing to build a single story residence. We have been working with the
architect on refining the plan to cut as much space a possible and still maintain a
residence that is suitable for their needs as well as remaining suitable for the
subdivision. The Lot is 12,525 square feet which will hold a much larger residence if
the residence was to go to a two story dwelling Part of the reason that the
residence is over the maximum is due to the covered patios and entry way as well as
the three car garage. The livable space of the home is 2540 square feet. The
purposed residence will still remain within all setbacks including the 30' setback on
both front and side due to the fact that it is a corner lot
The following responses are to answer the questions outlined in the Review Criteria.
1. The property will not meet the needs of the future homebuyer to remain a
single story dwelling under the current 25% maximum coverage. They are
elderly and do not want a house on more than one level. They have made
sacrifices In their design to try and accommodate the 2S% coverage but
cannot get there without going to a multiple story residence.
2_ The variance will not alter the essential character of the locality. Granting
the variance will enhance the character and the covered entry porch and
covered patios will not only make the house more functional but also adds to
the design characteristics of the residence, by giving it a more defined look
that a home in this price range requires.
3. We along with the future homeowner have invested a great deal of time as
well as money into the design of proposed residence for this lot. The ranch
style house will be a great asset to the subdivision.
A. With this being a corner lot with a back yard that faces west it is important to
give shelter over the patios With no shelter they become unbearably hot in
the summer.
5_ There has been no created hardship, however Mere have been similar
requests within the same subdivision for ranch style houses. It is next to
impossible to get a decent size ranch home to fit on the lots with the
maximum lot coverage of 25%. For a house to fit into the price range of this
unique subdivision it is imperative that M e home is constructed with the
amenities of a home in that range, such as a three car garage, covered patios
Case No. WA-I5-02/Ficco
and a grand entry. It also needs to he able to maintain the room sizes of a
house in this category.
The granting of this variance will riot be detrimental to the public, the
neighborhood or the adjacent properties. The variance would give the lot the
ability to stay as a ranch style home, which will enhance the supply of light
and air to the adjacent properties_ Granting of the variance will in no way
affect the setbacks.
Tile unusual circumstances necessitating the variance are present in the
neighborhood and there are other lots in the same subdivision that have
needed the same type of variance.
Thank you for your consideration, please contact me with any questions

To Whom It May Concern:
This letter is in response to the Review Criteria in applying for a variance. The
variance that we are asking for is an increase in lot coverage from 25% to 31% for
3205 Iris Ct.. The Applewood Preserve Subdivision is one of the premier
subdivisions in the City of Wheat Ridge. It consists of 12 custom home sites (9 of
which are completed) that are valued in the million -dollar range. 3205 Iris Ct. is the
lot on the corner of 32nd and Iris. This lot is under contract contingent on the
approval of the future owners plans. Before summating the plans for plan review for
a building permit we are asking for a variance of 6% in lot coverage because the
current plan is over maximum lot coverage. The future homeowners are a
proposing to build a single story residence. We have been working with the
architect on refining the plan to cut as much space a possible and still maintain a
residence that is suitable for their needs as well as remaining suitable for the
subdivision. The Lot is 12,525 square feet which will hold a much larger residence if
the residence was to go to a two story dwelling. Part of the reason that the
residence is over the maximum is due to the covered patios and entry way as well as
the three car garage. The livable space of the home is 2540 square feet. The
purposed residence will still remain within all setbacks including the 30' setback on
both front and side due to the fact that it is a corner lot.
The following responses are to answer the questions outlined in the Review Criteria.
1. The property will not meet the needs of the future homebuyer to remain a
single story dwelling under the current 25% maximum coverage. They are
elderly and do not want a house on more than one level. They have made
sacrifices in their design to try and accommodate the 25% coverage but
cannot get there without going to a multiple story residence.
2. The variance will not alter the essential character of the locality. Granting
the variance will enhance the character and the covered entry porch and
covered patios will not only make the house more functional but also adds to
the design characteristics of the residence, by giving it a more defined look
that a home in this price range requires.
3. We along with the future homeowner have invested a great deal of time as
well as money into the design of proposed residence for this lot. The ranch
style house will be a great asset to the subdivision.
4. With this being a corner lot with a back yard that faces west it is important to
give shelter over the patios. With no shelter they become unbearably hot in
the summer.
S. There has been no created hardship; however there have been similar
requests within the same subdivision for ranch style houses. It is next to
impossible to get a decent size ranch home to fit on the lots with the
maximum lot coverage of 25%. For a house to fit into the price range of this
unique subdivision it is imperative that the home is constructed with the
amenities of a home in that range, such as a three car garage, covered patios
and a grand entry. It also needs to be able to maintain the room sizes of a
house in this category.
6. The granting of this variance will not be detrimental to the public, the
neighborhood or the adjacent properties. The variance would give the lot the
ability to stay as a ranch style home, which will enhance the supply of light
and air to the adjacent properties. Granting of the variance will in no way
affect the setbacks.
7. The unusual circumstances necessitating the variance are present in the
neighborhood and there are other lots in the same subdivision that have
needed the same type of variance.
Thank you for your consideration, please contact me with any questions.
