PITKIN COUNTY BOARD OF ADJUST?dFNT August 25, 1981 Members Present Associates: Bill Mason, Chairman Dottie Fox Paul Krausch Clark Smyth Joe Zanin Bill Lukes Robert Throm Kandi Shaffran ?fleeting was called to order by Bill `.4aso». He asked the Board if they had any objections to the minutes from the last meeting. Dottie Fox moved to accept the minutes. Paul Krausch second the motion. All in favor. Motion passed. Leon Norton, 7528 Highway 82 81-29 requesting a variance to erect a 6 sq, ft. sign on present fence. Leon Norton was there to represent himself. He had included a picture of the sign he wants to erect and he brought one of the letters to show the exact size and color he would be using. The letters would be put on a natural colored fence that is presently there. He also brought pictures of the property in question for the Board members to see. Kandi Shaffran asked if the sign would glow at night or be lighted. Leon replied that it would not. Paul Krausch questioned Patsy Newbury why Leon had to have a variance to erect the sign. Patsy stated that any sign along Highway 82 had to be approved by the Board. Dottie Fox made a motion to approve the variance request. Paul Krausch second the motion. All in favor. 'Motion passed. Richard Barnes, 108 Trentaz Rd. 81-30 requesting a 49 foot frontyard setback variance for addition to employee unit. Robert Bates was there to renresent Richard Barnes. Robert explained that they wanted to build a lean-to on the left hand side of the unit to store snowmobiles, snowcats, motorbikes, etc. He stated that the lean-to would be covered by trees and shrub and would not be seen. Robert showed the Board members where the garage and house sat on the lot. It was determined that there were no objections from the adjacent property owners. Bill Lukes wanted to know what hardships were involved. Robert stated that the reasons for not placing the lean-to on the other side of the garage was that to much scrub would have to be removed and it would be seen from that side. Dottie Fox questioned what the size of the shed would be. Robert replied that it would be approximatel~~ 10' and would be connected to the roof-line. Paul Krausch wanted to know if the lean-to would be closed in. Robert said that the back and sides would be walled in and the front would be open. Paul Krausch moved to approve the variance request due to the fact that it is an addition to an existing structure and there is topographical hardship. Dottie Fox second the motion. Bill Lukes voted against it, there were four votes for it. ~9otion passed. x~ ~^~nn9 48 • i RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 100 Leaves ru. •.e e. r. .nm.e~ e. a. n i. ca August 25, 1981 page 2 John Stewart, Lot #66 ,' Elk "fountain S/D 81-32 requesting a 60 foot frontyard setback variance and a 5 oot sideyard setback variance for construction of a single family residence. John Stewart was there representing himself. John Stewart stated that his problem was that he was 5 foot short for sideyard clearance and 60 foot short for frontyard. Bill ^-fason read a letter from ~Ir. William J, [vnrlav re~a.rdine Lot 56 in Elk Mountain S/D s+_ating that when this property was given a zoning variance a nrecerlPnt "nra.c cat of maintaining 30' setbacks on all four sides on all lots of the subdivision. Patsy Newbury stated that the subdivision covenant had 25 foot setback, Bill ':fason said that in that case Mr. Stewart would be staying within the covenant with his request. Bill Lukes questioned whether a variance for one lot would effect any other lot in the neighborhood. Bill Mason stated that every variance is handled as a separate variance. Patsy Newbury stated that the Board could not set precedents but had to take each case at a time. The owner of Lot 65, John Armstrong, was there and he stated that he came before the Board at the same time as Mr. Worley and he was granted the same variance, 30', and he said that it was said that that would be a precedent. The files regarding these cases were brought before the Board and Bill Mason read through the minutes. It was not found that any precedent was set on either case. John Armstrong explained that he was under the impression that the setback was a set standard. Paul Krausch stated that he felt that Mr. Armstrong had come to the Board with a specific request and that the Board had not set a specific size that he could have. Bill Mason re-emphasized that the Board does not set any precedents. Clark Smyth felt that due to the downzoning, 25 foot setbacks are not un- reasonable and it seems that a precedent was not set on the previous cases of Armstrong and Worley. Dottie Fox felt that since "dr, Stewart was within the covenant there is no reason that he cannot be granted his request. Bill Mason stated that the Board never went below the covenant. Paul lirausch stated that if Mr, Armstrong wanted to come before the Board again and get the additional five feet there would be no problem. Bill Mason agreed, Clark Smyth made a motion to grant the variance request based on downzoning and the magnitude of the variance is no greater than the covenant states. He amended the request to be a 25 foot sideyard, 46 foot frontyard setback and 39.5 yard rearyard setback. Paul Krausch second the motion. John Armstrong questioned as to whether this would now be the precedent. Bill 'Mason said that it would not and that the Board never sets a precedent. All in favor, motion passed. . Jan Edwards, Tom Fulker, FVildrose Ranch 15488 Highway 133 81-31 requesting a 24.5 foot frontyard setback variance for construction of storage building. Jan Edwards was there to represent self and partner. The reasons for putting the building in that particular area is because there is a natural drainage behind tl~e area and it is a very hilly area. They want to earthshelter the building and that would be the most natural place to place it. Dottie Fos was familour with this area due to a previous P & Z meeting. Jan Edwards had included a picture of the notice to show the Board members. Thcrc were no objections from the adjacent property owners. Paul Krausch wanted to know how big the lot was. Jan replied that the lot was 14 acreas, Clark Smyth wanted to know why the building could not go anywhere else on the property. Jan stated that when she had on{;~ina].ly planned to build a house, garage and solar greenhouse, the county had np problem because it was zoned R-2. One ,year later the ordinances had been re-written. Shc stated that the proposed building was a workshop/solar greenhouse/storage building which was a separate Nn 46 ^nooio RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 100 Leaves rww w <. r, xo¢ra e. e. s August 25, 1981 Page 3 structure 100 feet from the proposed home. Paul Krausch wanted to know why she didn't build behind the drainage. Jan stated ~ that there was a driveway rights"that spot and she would not have ' to tear up any more terrain. Jan stated that there were probably lots of woody areas that she could build on but they are inconvenient to reach in the winter and when she bought the property an agreement was reached that the buildings would be clustered due to the fact that there were elk there. From the highway the proposed structures would not be visible. Dottie Fox wanted to know what the topographical hardship would be. Jan Edwards stated that the county considerations . was the elk wintering range and that the natural water drainage cut through that portion of the lot. Also she wanted to build into the hills that cut through the property for solar reasons. Clark Smyth questioned Jan as to why she could not build the structure adjacent _ to the proposed house. Jan replied that due to the solar need and the fact that a lot of meadow would be used to do that. Also the fact that there is a road access to the proposed site for the shop. Patsy Newbury told the Board that the propert,~ was downzoned from AF-3 to RS-20. The AF-3 would have required a 50 foot setback. The property was purchased previous to the downzoning, Dottie Fox made a motion to approve the request due to topographical hardship of the natural drain ditch and due to the downzoning. Clark Smyth said the only reason he could see was the downzoning. Dottie Fox amended her motion to state due to downzoning. Clark Smyth second the motion. All in favor. b4otion passed. `. Christine A. Gerschel Lot 10 Block 3 'l4eadowood S/D 81 33 requesting a variance from floor area ratio to construct dressing rooms and shower in existing structure. Christine Gerschel was there to represent herself. Bill A4ason read a letter from the chairman of the Meadowood Homeowners Association stating that they had approved it. Robert Throm told the Board that he would not take part because he j was associated with the applicant socially and in business. All the adjacent property owners had been notified and there were no objections in the file or otherwise. Bill ;Mason then requested that 9.7s. Gerschel show the Board what is was she planned to do. She explained that she wanted to transform half of the existing garage into a changing room and bathroom for the pool. Also she needed to use the rest as an extra bedroom for her mother who is disable and cannot manage stairs. The garage in question will be wasted space because the driveway is dangerously steep and will be moved to another portion of the lot and = 'another ~ara~e be build. At this point the floor area ratio in the house is at its limit and the remodel of the garage would call for an additional 250 feet. The Board members did not know if they could grant this variance or not. She did not need a variance to build the new driveway and garage. Bill Mason advised her that he would check ~ with the County Attorney and see how the Board should act on this. Y On August 26, 1981, Bill 14ason contacted the County Attorney and was advised that the Board could not grant a variance of this sort. A telephone poll was taken and Clark Smyth made a motion to deny the request. Paul Krausch second the motion.
