Cooper asked if there was an HOA for Redstone, and whether or not there were any
objections to the request. Schaffner stated that there is no HOA and that there were no
objections.
Cooper made a motion to approve the request as submitted. No hardship was mentioned.
Olsen seconded the motion, and the vote passed with all voting in favor.
Tbrom made a motion to approve the minutes of December 7, 2004. Olsen seconded the
motion and the vote passed with all voting in favor.
Head asked staff to write a letter of thanks to Taber Sweet for his service to the Board.
Throm asked if we needed more members. Schaffner explained that the Boazd has five
members and that usually one alternate is adequate. Cooper suggested that we might
need two alternates. Schaffner reminded Olsen that if she wishes to continue her term,
she must submit her application. Olsen stated that her application will be sulj miffed after
the 17`s of the month. Cooper has already submitted an application for a renewal of his
term.
Administrative Approval
Lot Mountain Valley
Fka: DePalma
Schaffner explained that the original DePalma request was approved in 2004. Since then
a 1041 Hazazd Review was approved that caused the house to shift slightly to avoid the
slopes in the back of the lot. The new house location pushes a portion of the deck and
overhang into the approved Major Road setback. Since the hazdships (topographic and
downzoning) found previously have not changed, and since the additional encroachment
is so small, and since there were no objections from adjacent property owners, the Boazd
approved this "administrative" approval with a vote of 4-0.
There being~no further business before the Board, the meeting was adjourned.

Head opened the meeting at 5:40pm. This meeting is in lieu of the regularly scheduled

Throm apologized to those present for the lack of quorum at that meefing. ~
Koubek, David and Koubkova, Jana
420 Redstone Blvd
Lots 33 and 33A, Redstone
David Koubek and Jana Koubkova were present to request a reaz yazd setback variance
where 10 feet is required on this 7,898 squaze foot lot in the VC zone district for the
construction of a detached garage. The Affadavit of Posting was submitted. No one from
the public was present to comment on the request.
Koubkova stated that the variance is necessary to avoid conflict with existing electric
lines that bisect the pazcel. The lines are located 30 feet from the rear setback and aze 16
feet high. The proposed gazage is 20' x 20'. To move the proposed gazage outside of the
reaz yazd setback would cause the garage to touch the lines. Behind the reaz lot line is a
steep slope. Photos of the site were presented and added to the file.
Schaffner stated that a letter from the Redstone HPC has been submitted by Suzannah
Reid, stating that the RHPC supports the request for a reaz yard setback, but not for a side
yazd setback as originally requested. The letter was read into the record. Koubkova
stated that the request for a side yard setback has been withdrawn.
Head asked staff if the phone company had an easement across these lots. Schaffner
answered that she did not know whether there was an easement, however, she cannot
require that development occur outside of the easement. Koubek stated that he contacted
the phone company and they were ok with his proposal provided the gazage did not touch
the lines.
Olsen stated that the request should be for an 8.5 foot variance and not for an 8 foot
variance as noticed, since the plans submitted indicate that the stairs aze to be 3'6" in
width. Schaffner agreed, and noted that the change could be made by the Boazd without
further notice.

Throm opened the meeting at 5:35pm. Throm asked Schaffner to explain the voting
requirements as only four members were present. Schaffner read from Section 7-10-
030C2 of the Land Use Code, which states, "The concurring vote of four members of the
Boazd of Adjustment in the case of a five (5) member Boazd and three members in the
case of a four (4) member or three (3) member Boazd shall be necessary to reverse any
order, requirement, decision, or determination or to decide in favor of the applicant.".
Ol- 2004 DePalma, Charlotte
Lot 5, Filing 1, Mountain Valley Subdivision
Stan Mathis was present to represent the applicants, John Elmore, John McCormick and
Chazlie Podolak. The applicants, all of whom were present, aze purchasing the property
from Ms. Chalotte DePalma, who has granted permission for them to precede with his
request fora 60 foot Arterial Highway setback variance where 100 feet is required from
the East Highway 82 right-of--way, for the construction of a duplex. The pazcel contains
18,955 squaze feet and is zoned R-15-A.
Mathis showed the Boazd the location of the property on the plat of the Mountain Valley
Subdivision. There is curently an existing duplex on the site located approximately 52
feet way from the highway. About another 30-40 feet further into the lot, there exist
slopes in excess of 30%. The existing duplex is built into the hillside, but the new house
cannot encroach any more into the slopes because of 1041 concerns. The proposed
duplex will cover the existing envelope, but will be lazger than the existing duplex.
Mathis stated that a variance is necessary due to topographic constraints and due to
downzoning, as the 100 foot setback requirement was not in effect at the time the
subdivision was created.
Throm asked who prepazed the topographic map. Mathis replied that the surveyor was
David McBride. Throm then asked if anything was received from any of the neighbors.
Schaffner stated that a letter was received from the Homeowner's Association which
OOOOi3
stated that they have met with the two adjacent property owners and that they (the HOA)
will not oppose the variance request.
Throm then asked if the Notice of Posting has been submitted, to which Schaffner
replied, "yes". There was no discussion by the Boazd.
Cooper made a motion to approve the request as submitted due to topographic hazdship
and downzoning. Olsen seconded the motion and it passed 4-0.
02-2004 Bergen, Frank
201 Conundrum Drive
Greg Peters was present to represent the owner, Frank Bergen, requesting a 26 foot Front
Yard Setback variance where 50 feet is required on this 3.6 acre lot in the AFR-10 zone
district, for the construction of an addition to asingle-family residence.
Peters withdrew this application after it was noticed that the proposed addition was
incorrectly drawn. A variance was not needed. Schaffner told Peters that a refund would
be issued.
Cooper requested that meetings no longer be held on the third floor of City Hall as the
meeting room is too hot and too cramped. Schaffner stated that future meetings will be
held in the Commissioners Meeting Room in the County Courthouse.
03-2004 Frieman, Josh
183 Yellow Brick Lane
Keith Webster was present to represent the owner, Josh Frieman, requesting a 10 foot
side yard setback variance where 20 feet is required for this 2.28 acre parcel in the RS-30
zone district, for the addition of a deck that exceeds 30 inches in height.
Webster explained that the site is located at the intersection of Rural Mountain Way and
Yellow Brick Lane at the top of Shield O.
The existing residence has an exterior door on the second floor that goes to nowhere. The
applicant wishes to construct a second story deck so that the door can be used as an exit.
The house was built to within 10 feet of the lot line. It is uncleaz how the house was
approved in the setback. The 20 foot setback is located on the other side of the door, so
compliance with the setback renders the door unusable. A variance is also required for a
little roof over an existing deck on the front side.
Throm asked if anything had been submitted from any of the homeowners. Schaffner
stated that she met on the site eazlier that day with Nancy White and Doug Jenkins, two
adjacent property owners that had very different issues with the proposal.
000014
Webster stated that the house was built within the setback and must have been approved
that way. Sweet suggested that perhaps the house never received a permit. Throm agreed,
saying that was his point. White stated that the house doesn't have a Certificate of
Occupancy. "Why continue a bad pattern?" asked White.
Olsen stated that it appears that the lot lines have shifted after the house was constructed.
She'd like to see what could be done to mitigate the side deck. Maybe the portion in the
setback could be cut back to soften the impact or the door could be relocated. Throm
suggested that Webster consult with his client and maybe then wouldn't have to come
back at all.
Sweet again emphasized that setbacks are there for a reason, and if they aze not to be
respected, then "we should all go home". Sweet stated that he has no pity for people who
buy a lot with obvious constraints and then can't build what they want.
Cooper explained that setbacks are to protect neighbors from one another so that they
don't build right next to property lines, but also to protect the public. "Basically, at the
end of the day, these things aze incredibly arbitrary and they aze put in to have some kind
of discussion. If there is no impact on the public and the neighbors agree, there is
absolutely no reason not to approve it. Government is so much involved in everything
you do and puts people through hell just to do the littlest thing to their house, that I think
we need to try to be careful to stay out of people's lives when we can." Cooper stated
that he was inclined to approve the request based on what Schaffiier said (regarding the
impact to the public) and if White and Frieman could agree.
Cooper stated that if no rules were in place when the house was built, then placing rules
on it now is an effective downzoning. Throm agreed. Schaffner stated that the applicant
has not demonstrated that they predated zoning.
Schaffner stated that the Boazd could either table the meeting to a date certain at the site,
and then decide at the site. Or the meeting could be tabled to a site visit, where no
decision is made, and then again tabled to the next regulaz meeting. Or the meeting can
be tabled to next month's meeting.
Cooper didn't think a site visit was necessary except to expedite the process for the
applicant. Throm thought it was in the best interest of the public to meet on the site.
White asked for time to provide the 1989 survey. Webster thought the 1999 survey,
being the most current, would be better to use than the 1989 survey.
Throm made a motion to table the application until the May 4`" meeting. He requested
that White provide a recent survey. Scarrow and Walker could update their existing
survey. The motion was not seconded but all seemed in agreement.
~~~~1`)
Adjacent property owner, Nancy White was present to object to the request. White was
concerned that the applicants house encroaches onto her property, and she was opposed to
any further improvements being made on her property by her neighbors. She explained
that when she was living out of state back in the 80's, the previous owner of the subject
site moved Yellow Brick Lane 10 feet closer to her property. Upon her return, she had a
surveyor site the new road, and claims the surveyor told her that the NE comer of the
applicants house was on her property. She did not have a survey with her, but asked that
she be given time to demonstrate that the encroachment existed.
Throm asked what concerned the other neighbor. Schaffner stated that the portion of
Rural Way in front of the subject site is a dam road. A lake exists on the opposite side of
the road (but has been dry in the last few yeazs) with a release valve under the road to
allow the lake to drain across the subject site. Mr. Jenkins manages the irrigation systems
on Shield O, and was informed by the State of Colorado Division of Water Resources
(DOWR) that the dam has been rated unsatisfactory due to deficiencies that need to be
corrected. According to Jenkins, there is an easement across the subject property and the
existing house was built within the easement. A pipe is needed to fix one of the
deficiencies identified by the DOWR and the pipe needs to go into the easement. The
proposed deck location conflicts with where this pipe needs to be installed. Jenkins was
concerned that the deck would prohibit him from installing the pipe. A copy of the letter
from the DOWR was submitted for the file. Webster pointed out that the letter is dated
1997. Webster had no objection to working azound the pipe installation.
Throm suggested that the applicant return in a month with more information concerning
the pipe installation and with any survey information obtained by Ms. White. Olsen
asked Throm how the Boazd might resolve two conflicting surveys.
Throm asked if the Boazd wished to do a site visit. Sweet and Olsen both expressed a
desire to see the surveys. Cooper asked Schaffner if the proposal created any impact to
the general public. Schaffiier stated that the deck would have no visual impact to the
general public.
Webster asked, that given an acceptable survey, what is the general sentiment of the
Boazd regazding the variance request. Throm stated that if in fact there aze no
encroachments, and there is agreement on the owner's part to install the six inch
waterline, he would have no problem. Sweet asked why Throm would grant approval,
given that no hazdship has been demonstrated. Throm stated that "based on his personal
knowledge of this azea, there will never be survey information significantly correct that
will show where there is a setback or isn't a setback or whether there's an encroachment
or not because, knowing the history of this azea, people have had ten surveys that don't
agree."
Sweet asked why we allow construction in the setback without a hazdship being
demonstrated. Sweet went on to say that he doesn't see a need for the porch. Don't other
options exist? Couldn't the door be relocated? Couldn't the deck be reduced?
000016
Cooper asked where was Rifkin? Schaffrier stated that Rifkin was in Arizona and that
Head had been in the hospital.
Throm made a motion to accept the minutes of the November 2003 meeting as prepazed.
Cooper seconded the motion and it passed 3-0, with Sweet abstaining as he wasn't at the
November meeting.
The selection of a new chairperson was postponed un61 Head and Riflcin could be
present. Schaffner informed the Boazd that the Co-Chair terms for Head and Rifkin have
expired. Patrick McAllister has resigned due to work conflicts. Cooper suggested a new
applicant for the Boazd. Schaffner stated that she just needs to make an application to the
County. Throm expressed a desire to have Sweet appointed as a regulaz member.
Schaffner stated that only five members aze allowed, so unless a member leaves the boazd
or wishes to become an alternate instead of a regulaz member, Sweet has to remain an
alternate. Schaffner stated that the Boazd didn't really need more members since
meetings are held on an irregulaz basis, and a quorum could still be met with only three
members.
Schaffner stated that a copy of the adopted Bylaws has been sent to the Board members.
These have been changed since the Boazd reviewed them last Fall. Please note that more
than two (2) unexcused meetings will result in expulsion from the Boazd.
There being no further business the meeting was adjourned.
