neighborhood and approval of the request will allow for the internal backstop fence to be
extended to a height that will help prevent errant foul balls from damaging adjacent
properties.
The purpose of the variance is to prevent errant foul balls from further damaging adjacent
properties and to help prevent children from chasing balls into the street.

4. The alleged difficulty has not been created by any persons presently having interest in the
property as the property is owned by the City of Wheat Ridge.
5. Approval of the variance will not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to other
properties as the backstop fence is an internal entity that will not hinder the sight visibility
of passing motorists nor effect the circulation of pedestrians on adjacent sidewalks and, in
fact, approval of the request will actually have a positive effect on the public's welfare
and should enhance property values.
6. Approval of this request will result in a benefit and contribution to the neighborhood as it
should help prevent foul balls from further damaging adjacent properties and prevent
children from chasing balls into the adjacent streets.
