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 10th day of December, 1998.
CASE NO: WA-98-29
APPLICANT'S NAME: Jim and Meda Goddard
LOCATION: 3885 Depew Street
Upon a motion by Board Member ABBOTT, seconded by Board Member WALKER, the
following resolution was stated:
WHEREAS, the applicant was denied permission by an administrative officer; and
WHEREAS, Board of Adjustment Application Case No. WA-98-29 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 four
protests registered against it; and
WHEREAS, the relief applied for may NOT 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-98-29 be, and hereby is, DENIED.
TYPE OF VARIANCE: A request for approval of a variance from the 1,000 square foot lot
coverage requirement and a 24' front yard setback variance to the 30' front yard setback
requirement for the purpose of adding another 1,440 square foot detached garage. Said property
is located at 3885 Depew Street and zoned R-lA.
FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS:
Even though the proposed location is in the back yard out of the view of passing
motorists, the existence of the structure would be considered to be out of character with
the neighborhood. There are no other properties in the immediate vicinity which exceed
the maximum building coverage requirement for detached garages.

2. If the request is denied, the applicant may continue to use this property for single
family occupation.
Even though the property is considered odd in shape, the request of the variance is
to increase the maximum building coverage to allow for additional garage space.
The individual hardship created by the applicant does not have anything to do
with the shape of the property.
4. The city will require that the two lots be consolidated before issuing a building
permit; therefore, it can no longer properly be considered as two building lots.
5. The city received four calls requesting denial, including two from previous
signators of the petition for variance submitted to the Board.
VOTE: YES: ABBOTT, HOWARD, MAURO and THIESSEN
NO: WALKER
ABSENT: ECHELMEYER, HOVLAND JUNKER
DISPOSITION: A variance from the 1,000 square foot lot coverage requirement and a 24' front
yard setback variance to the 30' front yard setback requirement for the purpose of adding another
1,440 square foot detached garage was DENIED.
ADOPTED and made effective this 10th day of December, 1998.
