that sl:_ was in favor of the variance fcr Mr. DeLise.

i.r Ta..: ci stated that the situation is exactly the same as Ms. Scufka's.

f.-.. fr-.ot7ard setback variance. Mr. Jacobs stated that there were no frontyard
se+.�a•.ks 1:. the Fed Mountain Ranch covenants, but that the County requires a 30
f.,t '_ror.t.;ard setback. He then proceeded to acquaint the Board with the location
of the h jse.
Pill 'as:n stated that all the adjacent property owners had been notified and Drake
stated that most of them are also on the Board of Trustees of the Red Mountain
i?:ro s.nc•:s Association, and that he had met with Board and they have indicated they
w•.re in favor of the setback variance. Mr. Jacobs stated that Jack Barker, president
of t-e Homeowners Association, wanted the house up the hill as far from him as
l:r.;.Sihle.
Mr. Jacc..bs stated that the main reason for the variance request is that if the house
were to Le brought into conformance with County regulations, it would have to be
brought do,4i the hill to have the driveway bypass the house. The slope of the lot
is acercxir•ately 30%, but to get off the road there are places where the slope is 75%
and 45r but the majority of the slope of the lot is roughly 30-32%.

Drake Jacobs then presented a site model to show the lay of the land and the
proposed house. tie stated that the Red Mountain Ranch covenants require that the
building be not more than 20 feet above the average finished grade. In this case
that would mean almost having to bury the house. He stated that the two wings will
have sod roofs so that all that will be seen from the road is the garage.
The driveway; conforming to the County access code, comes off at an angle and requires
a fairly high retaining wall, which will be broken up with two planters. If the
building is brought down the hill to conform with the County setbacks - the owner .:
can afford to build the driveway, that is not the problem - it is a matter of
another 125 feet of mountain being cut apart to put the driveway in. He stated
that he feels that it is an environmental concern rather than any other motivation
in asking for the variance.
Mr. Jacobs stated that he has a letter from the Homeowners Association. tie stated
that the Homeowners agreed to a 10 foot setback, in the letter; but that was a mis-
understanding and that they verbally agreed to the 8 feet that nowr appeared necessary
for the placement of the house, and it may be possible to add another foot, so that
the house would be 9 feet from the property line. He stated that he is asking the
Board for a variance of 22 feet which is what was in the public notice. He again
stated that although the actual number of feet was in confusion, the Homeowners
Association was in agreement with having the house up the hill and having the
driveway hug the road as closely as possible. The Homeowners had asked that the
driveway come in another way, but after conferring with Pat Dobie, County Engineer,
it was decided that the itomenwners request would not be in accordance with the County
access code.
Bill Mason asked that another letter be written by the Homeowners Association with
the correct setback stated. Drake Jacobs agreed tothe request.
Carl Nutzhorn asked what the distance from the blacktop to the corner of the
building would be, and Drake responded that it would be 25 feet, with a shoulder
that leaves plenty of room for plowing.
Bill Mason stated that it seemed to be a typical case of terrain hardship. He also
stated that the Red Mountain Ranch Homeowners Association is very strict and if they
approved of the variance the Board generally agreed with them.
Tom Tweed asked to have the actual request confirmed, be it 8 or 10 feet. Drake
stated that he has worked closely with his surveyor and is trying to situate the
house on the contours to keep the height down to please the Homeowners Association.
Mr. Jacobs then stated that he has done some reworking and needs to place the house
with a 9 foot setback, requiring a 21 foot variance.
Paul Krausch asked about the hardship, stating that the terrain does not vary from
the top -of the lot to the bottom, therefore what is the hardship involved in placing
the house lower on the lot to meet the required setbacks. Drak;: Jacobs stated that
he felt that the hardship was the large scarring of the mountain that would occur if
the house were moved down the hill to meet the required setbacks, and that the
hardship would be placed more on the community that would have to look at the
scarred mountain than the owner who could afford to build the driveway either way.
Drake Jacobs also stated that he had a letter from Pat Dobie, County Engineer#
saying that the proposed driveway is the best way to access the property.
Carl Nutzhorn told the Board that the Planning and Zoning Commission has been given
the authority to vary front, side and rear yard requirements for single family
dwellings and duplex structures when necessary to preserve existing vegetation, and
although that is not grant to the Board of Adjustment, it is a consideration.

or exceptional physical circumstances or conditions on a particular property not
created by the applicant subsequent to the adoption of a particular regulation, and
they have the authority to grant a variance if the application of the zoning regula-
tion would result in peculiar and exceptional practical difficulties, or an undue
hardship upon the owner of the property, and provided that there is no substantial
detriment to the public, or that the intent purpose of the zoning regulations would
not be violated, he then proposed.to the Board that the four signs all fall within
this category.
He stated that the signs involved are directional signs and the variances are
for size only. The size provided by the new sign code is 6"X30". The first signs
he addressed are the Chuckwagon and Stable signs. He stated that one of the reasons
that the Ranch has a variety of signs is that there are various activities and
facilities to offer to the public as they drive by. He then stated that the road is
heavily travelled, and there is a problem with traffic congestion and directing
cars to the different parking facilities available. He stated that they also want
to minimize the pedestrian traffic from one side of the road to the other. He showed
the Board a map designating the location of the signs in question.
Mr. Ferguson stated that the four signs are old signs and have been on the Ranch for
a long time. Carl Nutzhorn asked if there was a possibility that the signs had been
grandfathered. Mr. Ferguson agreed that he thought that there was a definite
grandfather possibility, but he stated that the reason that the Deans have difficulty
with respect to this, and the reason that they are before the Board is that they have
been cited by the County for criminal violations of the sign ccie. He said,
showing pictures of the sign in question, that'the signs are aesthetically pleasing
signs that are posted on trees, not posts, the colors blend into the surrounding
environment, and they have to be of that size given the location so that they will
be noticed. He stated that the Deans want to avoid putting a sign on a post next
to the road, thinking that that will detract from the guest ranch and rustic approach
desired. - Consequently the signs in question here are 3'X2'3". He also stated that
there is a definite curve in the road that requires that the signs be large enough
to be seen.
Bill Mason again asked how much bigger these signs are then those allowed. Mr.
Ferguson stated that the signs are both 3'X2'3" and are considered directional signs
which are required to be 6"X30". Mr Ferguson stated that the two signs could be made
to conform, but they could not then be placed as far back from the road and would
have to be placed on posts rather than trees.
Carl Nutzhorn stated that these signs are directional and not identificational
because there is more than one sign. Mr. Ferguson agreed with him and stated that
they are allowed only one identification sign and that one says "T Lazy 7."
Mr. Ferguson stated that there is no picture of the second sign, but it is seasonal
in the summer months when the bus system is in.operation. The sign is placed near
the Highlands, and says "T Lazy 7 Ranch customers proceed ahead." He stated that
this is an off premises sign, but the problem facing the Deans is obvious because of
the way L-C bus system operates. Carl Nutzhorn asked what the dimensions of this
sign were. Mr. Ferguson approximated that the sign is about 3.5'X4'. He stated
that the reason for the large size is so that it is readily spotted, because it is
in an area where there is a tremendous amount of congestion, i.e. people, cars,
stop signs and other things. He stated that the Forest Service and County transpor-
tation approved of the sign prior to its placement in that location. Mr. Ferguson
stated that his particular application is for a permanent -seasonal variance to be
in effect only when the buses are running.

Mary 6 Clay Boland/Setback Variance - Stark Mesa Tracts 80-47
Mary Boland was present to request from the Board a 50 foot frontyard setback to build
a horse/hay shed. Mrs. Boland told the Board that Stark Mesa is 5 acre lots and at
the time everyone accepted the setback at 50 feet. She said that the setback is from a
private subdivision road and that the area is very rural. She then stated that the
house is setback 50 feet from the road and showed the placement of the house and shed
on the site plan. She said that the shed is placed behind the house so that it is not
visual to the neighbor who's sight plane it would be in. She then stated the necessity
of having a horse shed when one has horses, and the convenience of having the shed close
to the house. Also in terms of the existing house there are picture windows an all
other sides, therefore the north side is the most logical for the placement of the shed.
Bill Mason asked if the 50 foot setback was within the previous zoning, Patsy Newbury sai.i
that it was. Bill then stated that the Board could base the hardship on downzohing.
Clark Smyth asked about the possibility of putting the shed on the other side of the house.
Mrs. Boland stated that everyone in the area has agreed that this placement of - the shed is
most aesthetically pleasing because of the slope of the land.
Bill Mason stated that there is a letter in the file from Robert Morris of the Homeowners
Association stating that they had no objections. Mr. Mason stated that he had also
gotten a call from Bill Blakesly, a neighbor, who said that the shed was already built, bu:
he had no objection.
Clark Smyth moved to grant the 50 foot frontyard setback variance due to the hardship
created by downzoning. Tom Tweed seconded the motion. All in favor. Motion carried.
Roy Carl Vance/Setback Variance - 15484 Highway 133 80-AO
Roy Vance was present to request from the Board a 25 foot frontyard setback variance from
Highway 133. Mr. Vance stated that his lot is almost 1 y4 acres, but it is 850 feet lo:.
and 108 feet at the widest point. He stated that lie wished to build a garage and that
there is no way that the garage could be 100 feet from the property line, but he could
get it 75 to 80 feet from the road and place it down so it will not be seen from the
road.
It was asked if the garage was located on the site plan, and Mr. Vance stated that it was
not because he could place it on either side of the house, but wanted to go in line with
the house. lie stated that the house is not located 100 feet from the property line
either.
It was agreed on by the Board that the extreme shape of the lot is a topographical hardship
Mr. Vance stated that he would place the garage on the south side of the house.
Tom Tweed moved to grant the 25 foot frontyard setback variance due to the shape of the
lot. Clark Smyth seconded the motion. All in favor. Motion carried.
The meeting was adjourned by Bill Mason, Chairman, at 7:00 p.m.

a 7 fo•;t sideyard, a 6 foot sideyard and a 15 Wot rearyard setback variance.

rf the house in the rear by 5 feet, thereby meeting the covenants.
Lill Mason stated that there were no objections from the surrounding property owners.
'.:r tie Fox as•Y.ed if the main reason for desiring this orientation was to save the
-h< and to be in the clearing. Mr. Weidner replied that this was correct; to move

as far as possible. Mr. Pose stated that the lot has an easement to Johnson Drive.
Bill Mason stated that there were no objections from the adjacent property owners.
Dottie Fox asked if the Starwood Subdivision had setbacks in their covenants. And
Bill Mason replied that they did not, but that each lot has a stake and that houses
have to be within 100 feet of the stake.
Patsy Newbury stated that when those lots were laid out, the setback requirements
in the County were 30 feet.
Paul Krausch asked what the hardship would be, and Bill Mason stated that it would
be topographical because the lot does drop off steeply.
Joe Zanin moved to grant the 70 foot frontyard setback variance due to topographical
hardship. Clark Smyth seconded the motion. All in favor.. Motion carried.
Ella Scufka/F.A.R. Variance - Lots 15 6 16, Block 3, Williams Addition 80-45
Attorney Brooke Peterson was present to represent Ms. Scufka in requesting a 1,200
square foot Floor Area Ratio (FAR) variance. Mr. Peterson stated that most of the
structures on the surrounding properties have basements. lie also stated that the
aesthetics of having a 1,200 square foot house on top of a 1,200 square foot base-
ment are not going to upset what is presently in the Williams Addition.
Mr. Peterson stated that although he was not involved in the original lot split,
the existing zoning at that time allowed 2,400 square feet. He also stated that
he felt the circumstances surrounding the nature of the property are important to
consider because the property has been in Ms. Scufka's family for many years.
Bill Mason read into the record a letter from Don DeLise stating that he owns Lots
17 6 18 in Williams Addition and he is conditionally in favor of the variance if the
same variance would be granted for his lots.' Don DeLise was present and Bill Mason
asked him if he had a lot split on his lots. Mr. DeLise said that the lots had not
been split, that they were owned together as one site. Bill Mason then asked Patsy
Newbury if Don DeLise would be allowed 2,400 square feet on his two lots, and
she stated no because the FAR in R-15 zoning is only .16 of the total lot area. Mr.
DeLise stated that basements did not used to be included in the FAR, and that they
are included now.
Bill Mason asked Patsy Newbury for the definition of a basement and she stated that
a basement is anything five feet below grade, whether used for storage or living
space. Clark Smyth asked why the County had included basements in FAR, and she
stated that there had previously been a problem in Mountain Valley and Aspen Grove
where basements that were not included in the FAR were actually becoming totally
visible and adding a second story onto these houses.
Clark Smyth then asked Patsy Newbury if the lot were not substandard how large a
house could be built. She stated that if the lot were R-6 they would be allowed
twice the FAR. Clark then made the point that the situation is almost like down -
zoning. Patsy Newbury agreed with him.
Brook Peterson stated that he had no problem agreeing to having Ms. Scufka's
basement meet the definition outlined by Patsy Newbury as a :ondition of the variance.
He then stated that the visual density will not be changed, that the lot is flat.
Don DeLise asked if the variance for Ms. Scufka was granted if it would set a
precedent. Bill Mason stated that it would not have to, but it could. He stated
that every case must be decided on its own merits, but that if all factors were

I similar in two cases, chances are that the decisions would be the same.
L-= tie Fox asked if the fact that the lot, because of being downzoned, provided
an

that he felt it was indeed a case of dowr�oning.

Inter -^,stain Lamer/Height Variance - Airport Business Center 80-46
^l:arlie Vole was present to represent Rick Gates in his request for a 8 foot height
varia" e to crr.struct an accessr,ry building. Mr. Cole stated that zoning requires
that. a-o:ss^ry buildings can not be more than 12 feet tall, and that what they desire
tb 1-ii:3 is :alled an accessory building because the building will not involve any

al t_'at the;: are asking is to be able to put some cover over the existing stacks.

James Wingers/Setback Variance - Woody Creek - 80-41
James Wingers was present to request from the Board a 15 foot sideyard variance
for a fence and a 40 foot sideyard setback variance for a storage barn.*
It was stated that there were comments in the last minutes by Bob Kopp stating his
objections to the two variances. Bill Mason then read into the record a letter
written by Erlene and C. Dole Alcorn, adjoining property owners, stating their
objection to the two variance requests.
Mr. Wingers stated that Mr. Kopp overlooks his prolr rty frttn aoro." the river
approximately one-half a mile away. He then stated that the shed would cover any
use of the property that would infiltrate his view. Mr. Wingers then went on to say
that Mr. Alcorn is his neighbor and he himself has a great amount of junk on his
property. Mr. Wingers stated that the Kopp's are objecting because they regret
selling the property that is in their view plane. He felt that the Kopp's and the
Alcorn's objected to the size of the shed ratuer than the setback variance. Mr.
Wingers stated that Mrs. Kopp complains about any use of his property, and ultimately
does not want Mr. Wingers on the property.
Paul Krausch asked if there was a residence on the property. J:r. Wingers stated
that there is not at this time, but that he has plans to build in the future.
Joe Zanin asked if there was not also a variance for a 12 foot fence. Patsy Newbury
asked if he wanted to build a 12 foot fence on top of the berm or a six foot fence
on top of the berm. Mr. Wingers replied that he was looking for a six foot fence
on top of the berm to block the junk from the Alcornts view, but that he thought
perhaps a 12 foot fence would block the junk from the view off Woody Creek Road.
Bill Mason asked if he would have problems with FAR if he builds a single family
residence with the 2,000 square foot shed on the property. site stated that there
was no FAR requirements in either of the zones on Mr. Wingers property (RS-20 and
AF-1).
Bill Mason reminded the Board that what Mr. Kopp calls junk cars are actually
registered as antiques.
Dottie Fox asked why the shed had to be in the setbacks. Mr. Wingers replied that
what he wants to do is push the shed into the bank where it would he less visible, and
move the driveway easement over by the bank to improve the view problem. He then
stated that he would put the antique cars in the shed and alleviate the problem with
Mr. Kopp.
Clark Smyth asked if Mr. Wingers really wanted the fence there; he replied no,
that Bill Drueding suggested it and he was doing it for the County only. Dottie Fox
asked why he would need the fence if everything was to go into the shed. Mr. Wingers
replied that he needed the fence until the shed could be built. The fence would
be an immediate abatement, that would keep people quiet.
Clark Smyth stated that the Board had not been shown hardship that would allow them
to grant the setback variance. Mr. Wingers stated that he did not mind puting the
shed on the middle of the property, but that he was trying to do Mr. Alcorn a favor
by making .it as inconspicuous as possible. Bill Mason pointed out that Mr. Alcorn
had not objected to the placement of the shed but rather that he did not feel that
N° 15
•

there was enough room on the property for a house and the shed. Dottie Fox stated
that she did not see any reason to grant the variance.
Dottie Fox moved to deny both the setback variance for the shed and the height variance
for the fence due to lack of hardship. Clark Smyth seconded the notion. All in favor.
Motion carried.
