Dear Ms. Sandoval:
RE: Case No. WA -18-16
At its meeting on March 22, 2018, the Board of Adjustment APPROVED your request of a 20 -foot (80%) variance from
the 25 -foot side yard setback requirement for yards which abut a public street in the Residential -Two (R-2) zone district
located at 6001 West 32"d Avenue.
FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS:
1. The variance would not alter the essential character of the neighborhood.
2. The applicant is proposing a substantial investment in the property with this application.
3. The request would not be detrimental to the public welfare.
4. The unusual conditions necessitating the variance request are present in the neighborhood and are not unique
to the property.
5. The variance would ensure that a legal structure replaces an existing illegal building.
WITH THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS:
1. The design and architecture of the proposed garage shall be consistent with representations depicted in the
application materials, subject to staff review and approval through review of a building permit.
2. The existing metal carport structure, previously denied by the Board of Adjustment, shall be removed prior to
final inspections for the new carport. If no building permit is received for the new carport within 180 days of
variance approval, the metal carport must be removed or Code Enforcement citation action will be initiated.
A friendly amendment was offered by Member GRIFFETH to add the following reason:
6. The granting in the variance would result in a reasonable accommodation of a person with disabilities.
Enclosed is a draft of the minutes, stating the Board's decision. All variance approvals automatically expire
within 180 days of the date approval unless a building permit for the variance is obtained within such period of
time. The expiration date for this variance approval is April 25, 2019.
Please feel free to contact me at (303) 235-2846 if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Tammy Odean
Administrative Assistant

Motion carried 8-0.
B. Case No. WA -18-16
VThe case was presented by Scott Cutler. He entered the contents of the case file and
packet materials, the zoning ordinance and the digital presentation into the record.
He stated all appropriate notification and posting requirements have been met and
advised the board there was jurisdiction to hear the case. He reviewed the
presentation and staff report.
The applicant, is requesting approval of a 20 -foot (80%) variance from the 25 -foot
side yard setback requirement for yards which abut a public street in the Residential -
(Two (R-2) zone district to construct an attached carport, located at 6001 West 32nd
Avenue.
Staff recommends approval of this variance. There are unique circumstances
attributed to this request that warrant approval.
Member PAGE asked for an explanation about the concern of enclosing the Harlan
side of the carport.
Mr. Cutler explained that if the carport is enclosed it would be considered a garage
and could become livable space. Also, it is less visually impactful as a structure if it
not enclosed.
Ms. Mikulak added that there is more analysis to be done if the structure were going
to be a garage, including the materials of the roof, material of the structure and if it is
compatible with the dwelling. If the owner wants to make it a garage, another
variance would have to be done as well.
Member DEVRIES added that more engineering would have to be done to achieve
the goal of a garage.
Member ABBOTT asked if there is a sidewalk on Harlan.
Mr. Cutler said no it is gutter.
Member ABBOTT was curious of the direction a person would drive into the carport.
Mr. Cutler explained that his rendition shows coming from the south not from the
north or east because there will be posts there to support the carport roof. The
applicant can clarify.

Board of Adjustment Minutes October 25, 2018 2
Ms. Sandoval again wanted to apologize for erecting the metal building. She
explained she was not aware of the building process and all she wanted to do was
protect her cars from storms that come through the area because there is no garage
attached or detached on her property. Being a widow she did not have the correct
guidance. She added that she has Cerebral Palsy and it can be very difficult to clear
her Jeep of snow during the winter time. Ms. Sandoval also said she enters the
circular drive from different directions depending on the time of day and the traffic
patterns. She will wait to see how the carport is constructed as to the direction she
will enter it.
Member PAGE was curious if the carport will block the view from the bay window.
Ms. Sandoval said no she did not want the view or light obstructed. The carport will
sit north of the bay window.
Mr. DEVRIES wanted to know if Ms. Sandoval is confident with her general
contractor.
Ms. Sandoval confirmed she is very confident.
Upon a motion by Member PAGE and seconded by Member BRADFORD, the
following motion was stated:
WHEREAS, application Case No. WA -18-16 was not eligible for review by an
administrative officer; and
WHEREAS, the property has been posted the fifteen days required by law and
in recognition that there were not 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; and
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that Board of Adjustment application
Case No. WA -18-16 be, and hereby is, APPROVED
TYPE OF VARIANCE: Request for approval of a 20 -foot (80%) variance from
the 25 -foot side yard setback requirement for yards which abut a public street in
the Residential -Two (R-2) zone district.
FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS:
1. The variance would not alter the essential character of the neighborhood.
2. The applicant is proposing a substantial investment in the property with
this application.
3. The request would not be detrimental to the public welfare.
4. The unusual conditions necessitating the variance request are present in
the neighborhood and are not unique to the property.
Board of Adjustment Minutes October 25, 2018
5. The variance would ensure that a legal structure replaces an existing
illegal building.
WITH THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS:
1. The design and architecture of the proposed garage shall be consistent
with representations depicted in the application materials, subject to staff
review and approval through review of a building permit.
2. The existing metal carport structure, previously denied by the Board of
Adjustment, shall be removed prior to final inspections for the new
carport. If no building permit is received for the new carport within 180
days of variance approval, the metal carport must be removed or Code
Enforcement citation action will be initiated.
A friendly amendment was offered by Member GRIFFETH to add the following
reason:
6. The granting in the variance would result in a reasonable accommodation
of a person with disabilities.
4LMotion carried 8-0.
Member DEVRIES wanted to confirm that if the applicant wants to enclose the carport
for any reason, she will have to obtain another variance.
Mr. Cutler confirmed that is true.
5. CLOSE PUBLIC HEARING
Chair ABBOTT closed the public hearing.
6. OLD BUSINESS
7. NEW BUSINESS
A. Ms. Mikulak mentioned the dinner session that was talked about at a previous
meeting is TBD. She also mentioned that Zack Wallace Mendez, staff's Planner
II has accepted his dream job with the City of Denver in Transportation
Management and we wish him luck. She added that Mr. Cutler has been
promoted to Planner II and staff is excited for his new role.
Member ABBOTT added he liked the article in the Gazette about Ms. Mikulak
and her planning past, it was very interesting and informative.
B. Ms. Mikulak said the next Board of Adjustment meeting will be held on
December 13, it will be a combination of the November and December meetings
due to the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays.

JURISDICTION:
All notification and posting requirements have been met; therefore, there is jurisdiction to hear this
case.
I. REQUEST
The applicant is requesting approval of 20 -foot (80%) variance from the 25 -foot side yard setback
requirement for yards which abut a public street in the Residential -Two (R-2) zone district. The
purpose of this variance is to build an attached carport allowing for covered parking on the property.
Section 26-115.0 (Variances and Waivers) of the Wheat Ridge Code of Laws empowers the Board of
Adjustment to hear and decide on variances from the strict application of the zoning district
development standards. Variance requests of over 50% from the development standards are required to
be heard at a public hearing before the Board of Adjustment.
II. CASE ANALYSIS
The variance is being requested so the property owner may construct an attached carport on the east
side of the existing house. The property is located on the northwest corner of W. 32nd Avenue and
Harlan Street and is part of the Supemor Minor Subdivision. The existing house sits on a 9,321 -square
foot parcel and was originally constructed in 1922, per the Jefferson County Assessor (Exhibit 1,
Aerial). The property is zoned Residential -Two (R-2), as are the properties to the west along W. 32nd
Avenue and north along Harlan Street (Exhibit 2, Zoning Map). Properties to the southeast are zoned
Residential -Three (R-3). Across Harlan Street to the east is the Sons of Italy building, which is zoned
Residential -One C (R -1C), as are the residential properties to the north and east. Most properties in the
area consist of single-family homes, though there are some duplexes along W. 32nd Avenue and south
on Harlan Street.
Case History
At the April 26, 2018 Board of Adjustment hearing, the applicant was denied two variances to keep a
240 -square foot metal structure on the property with a 1 -foot side setback (a 24 -foot variance from the
25 -foot side yard setback requirement) (Case No. WA -18-02).
Staff followed up with the applicant on May 30, 2018 and determined that the building must be
removed because it could not be converted into a legal structure, and that because the variances were
denied it could not remain in its current location. The applicant has since engaged with a contractor,
who determined that an attached carport would be appropriate for the property.
In subsequent conversations, staff notified the applicant that any new variance applications must be
"substantially different" than the previous application, per City Code (Section 26-108.C). Staff has
determined that this application is substantially different because the carport is proposed to be
attached, the requested setback variance is different, and the proposed location of the carport is
changed.
Because this is a new application, staff and the Board of Adjustment shall review this application for
compliance with the review criteria independent of the previous application.
Board ofAdjustment
CaseNo. WA-18-16/Sandoval
Application
The site plan (Exhibit 3) shows the location of the proposed 18 -foot by 18 -foot carport, which would
be attached to the existing house. It would be located towards the northeast of the property, partially
over the existing driveway. Both the site plan and the elevation/example (Exhibit 4) show the location
of the support posts. The posts would be placed so that the carport is accessed from the south rather
than the side, which prevents vehicles from backing directly into Harlan Street which is the current
condition. The carport would start at a height of approximately 10-12 feet against the house (depending
on the location and final design), and slope down to approximately 8 feet on the side closest to Harlan
Street. The carport would be wood framed with a composite shed -style roof to match the existing home
as much as possible.
The site photos provided (Exhibit 5) show some of the improvements on the property, which include a
one-story single family home, the existing green metal structure which must be removed, and two
sheds.
Development Standards
The parcel meets minimum standards for the R-2 zone district. The following table compares the
required R-2 development standards with the actual and proposed conditions:
R-2 Development Standards:
Required
Actual
Lot Area (one -family dwelling)
9,000 square feet (min)
9,321 square feet
Lot Width (corner lots)
80 feet (min)
80.7 feet x 115.5 feet
Building Coverage
40% (max)
—21 % (with carport)
Setback (side adjacent to a
public street)
25 feet (min)
5 feet
Moving the carport to the west side of the property (side yard) is possible but likely not practical due to
the lack of driveway and access to the rear yard. Alternative placement in the rear (north) yard is likely
not feasible due to the position of the house, fence, and shed, as it may be difficult to drive a vehicle
into this space. This area of the yard is also sloped so grading may be difficult.
Public Comment
As of the date of distribution of this staff report, October 19, 2018, the City has not received letters
from surrounding property owners. If letters arrive between the delivery of this staff report and the
Board of Adjustment hearing, they will be entered into the record and provided to the Board members
during the hearing.
III. VARIANCE CRITERIA
In order to approve a variance, the Board of Adjustment must determine that the majority of the
"criteria for review" listed in Section 26-115.C.4 of the City Code have been met. The applicant has
provided their analysis of the application's compliance with the variance criteria, which also includes a
note from their doctor (Exhibit 6, Written Request). Staff provides the following review and analysis of
the variance criteria.
Board of Adjustment
Case No. WA -18-16 I Sandoval
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 is denied, the property would continue to yield a reasonable return in use. The
property would continue to function as a single-family residence, regardless of the outcome of
the variance request. However, if the variance is denied, the property would not have useable
protected car storage, which is a common expectation of homeowners in Wheat Ridge.
Staff finds this criterion has not been met.
2. The variance would not alter the essential character of the locality.
The small shed at the northeast corner of the property has a smaller side setback at
approximately 1 -foot and has been on the property since at least 2004, according to aerial
imagery. The home at 3190 Harlan Street (directly southeast from the subject property) is set
back approximately 8 feet from the property line, and has a similar perceived setback of 15 feet
from the edge of pavement because the right-of-way is not fully constructed (Exhibit 3, Site
Plan).
A one-story carport will not have a substantial visual impact on the surrounding area as it will
be shorter than the existing house which has a raised first story. Much of the carport will not be
visible to southbound Harlan Street as it will be obscured by the existing shed and 6 -foot fence.
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.
This investment meets historical thresholds for what constitutes a substantial investment which
includes a full-sized garage, attached wood -framed carport, or home addition. The applicant
has involved a contractor to build the structure and submit for a building permit, ensuring it
will meet code requirements.
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.
While the lot meets all of the requirements for properties in the R-2 zone district, the location
of the right-of-way line relative to the property improvements presents a unique hardship. A
portion of the existing home encroaches into the required side setback of 25 feet and is
positioned such that there are few feasible locations for a garage or carport on either side of the
home. Potential other carport locations may require other setback variances, or a petition for an
additional driveway location, which could be cost/time prohibitive. Currently, no driveway
access points or curb cuts are located on W. 32"d Avenue, and adding an additional driveway
Board of Adjustment
Case No. WA -18-16 /Sandoval
would be expensive. Much of the existing horseshoe driveway is located in City right-of-way,
as well as the split rail fence and landscaping area along Harlan Street (Exhibit 3, Site Plan). As
a corner lot, the property is subject to a 25 -foot side setback because it is adjacent to a public
street. A typical non -corner lot in R-2 only requires a 5 -foot side setback. Because of this
requirement, the overall buildable area is greatly reduced on a similarly -sized corner lot.
Staff finds this criterion has been met.
5. The alleged difficulty or hardship has not been created by any person presently having an
interest in the property.
While staff determined in the previous variance application that the applicant created their own
hardship by constructing a metal building without obtaining a building permit, staff does not
find the current application to be related. The applicant did not plat the lot or determine the
location of the existing improvements on the property relative to existing lot lines.
Staff finds this criterion has 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.
The request would not be detrimental to public welfare and would not be injurious to
neighboring property or improvements. It would not hinder or impair the development of the
adjacent properties. While the carport would be fairly close to the property line, the roofline is
low and is partially screened by landscaping and fencing, so the adequate supply of air and
light would not be compromised as a result of this request.
The request would not increase the congestion in the streets, nor would it cause an obstruction
to motorists on the adjacent streets. The addition would not impede the sight distance triangle
and would not increase the danger of fire.
It is unlikely that the carport would impact property values because of its low profile, and the
fact that its approval would allow the existing metal building to be removed. The rear fence
will also partially obscure the carport from view of Harlan Street.
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.
As with many older properties in Wheat Ridge, the existing primary structure does not meet
current setback standards for its zone district, as a small portion of the home is within 23 feet of
the property line. Several properties in the immediate vicinity, including the properties across
Board of Adjustment
Case No. WA -18-16 / Sandoval
the intersection to the southeast (3190 Harlan Street and 3195 Gray Street), would require
variances in order to construct accessory buildings, or to be rebuilt altogether as viable homes.
It is common in the area for the right-of-way line to encroach into a driveway or parking area
for the property, particularly when there are no sidewalks. Many times homeowners are not
aware of where their true property line is located because the right-of-way line is significantly
behind the edge of street or sidewalk.
Staff finds that this criterion has been met.
8. Granting of the variance would result in a reasonable accommodation of a person with
disabilities.
The applicant has provided a physician's note (Exhibit 6) indicating that covered parking would
be medically beneficial because of the applicant's medical needs.
Staff finds this criterion has been met.
9. The application is in substantial compliance with the applicable standards set forth in the
Architectural and Site Design Manuah
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 review criteria, staff recommends
APPROVAL of a 20 -foot (80%) variance from the 25 -foot side yard setback requirement for yards
which abut a public street in the Residential -Two (R-2) zone district. Staff has found that there are
unique circumstances attributed to this request that would warrant approval of a variance. Therefore,
staff recommends denial for the following reasons:
1. The variance would not alter the essential character of the neighborhood.
2. The applicant is proposing a substantial investment in the property.
3. The request would not be detrimental to public welfare.
4. The unusual conditions necessitating the variance request are present in the neighborhood and
are not unique to the property.
5. The variance would ensure that a legal structure replaces an existing illegal building.
With the following conditions:
1. The design and architecture of the proposed carport shall be consistent with representations
depicted in the application materials, subject to staff review and approval through review of a

To whom it may concern,
I am the treating physician for Mala Sandoval, Ms. Sandoval has been diagnosed with cerebral
palsy since birth. It is my opinion as her treating physician that her condition is not conducive to
clearing snow from her car, and that it can be dangerous as it poses an increased risk of falling due to
her condition. Accordingly, she is advised to park her car in a snow -free structure in case of
snowstorms.
