SITE DATA:0.30 acres WATER /SEWER:unknown ACCESS:CR 320 EXISTING ZONING:A/I 1.DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSAL A. Site Description: The subject property is located in the northwest quadrant of the East Rifle I70 intersection. Improvements on the site include an existing single - fa%ily home and certain accessory structures. A vicinity map is attached on page B.Request: The applicant is requesting a variance from the required twenty -five (25) foot setback from the rear property line, to allow for an addition to the existing dwelling unit. The proposed variance would the place the west wall of the proposed addition approximately four (4) feet from the rear property line. The applicant's engineer has stated that the encroachments were necessary to effectively repair a plumbing problem created12 a token pipe in the existing bathroom. See site plan and application pgs..7' 7 1- II. MAJOR ISSUES AND CONCERNS A. Zoning: Section 3.01.06 (2), requires that a rear yard setback of 25 ft. be observed for any house located in the A/I zone district. The existing house is already nonconforming, in that the northwest comer of the structure is within the 25 ft. set back. The property line in question is considered the rear property line, since it the line opposite the front lot line. B.Section 9.05.03 states that "by reason of exceptional narrowness, shallowness or shape of the specific piece of property at the time of this resolution or by reason of exceptional topographic conditions or other extraordinary and exceptional situation or condition of such piece of property," the Board may authorize a variance. In addition, the Board must also find that: 1.That the variance granted is the minimum necessary to alleviate such practical difficulties or undue hardship upon the owner of said property; and 2.That such relief may be granted without substantial detriment to the public good and without substantially impairing the intent and purpose of the General Plan or this Resolution; and 3.That the circumstances found to constitute a hardship was not caused by the applicant, are not due to or the result of general conditions in the district, and cannot be practically corrected; and 4.That the concurring vote of four (4) members of the Board shall be necessary to decide in favor of the applicant. C.The proposed variance is from a regulation that was enacted in 1973 to deal with new construction. The lot is an irregular shape and the house was placed in the present location prior to that time. As such, it is a nonconforming use. Given the existing location of the house in relation to the property lines, it does not appear that any remodel of the house could be accomplished without additional encroachment into the setback in question. Given the engineers statement, it appears that any repair of the bathroom would require an additional encroachment into the setback. Staff feels that the proposed variance is the minimum necessary to allow for the repair. That there is no reasonable altemative to the construction, short of demolition of the entire house and rebuilding in another location on the lot. 2- IV. SUGGESTED FINDINGS 1.That the application for Variance was found to be consistent with the requirements and standards of Section 9.05 of the Garfield County Zoning Resolution of 1978, as amended. 2.That proper publication and public notice was provided as required for the public hearing before the Zoning Board of Adjustment. 3.That the variance approved is the minimum necessary to alleviate the difficulties and not be to the detriment of the public. 4.That the public hearing before the Zoning Board of Adjustment was extensive and complete, that all facts, matters and issues were submitted and that all interested parties were heard at the meeting. V. RECOMMENDATION APPROVAL of the proposed variance as requested, subject to the new construction being completed in compliance with the building permit issued by the Garfield County Building Department. 3- i A. s 11r sacrd .' yr e ee at 1 a O 1 ' M:t. .

I inspected same on January 24, 1998. In plan, the addition on the west side of the home, measures 4' -0" east to west by 14'-4" north to south. The addition is the extension of the original bathroom. A broken plumbing pipe in the crawl space beneath the bathroom instigated the project. Given the lack of space in the existing crawl space, it was necessary to penetrate the exterior concrete block foundation on the west side of the home. That existing foundation proved to be in very poor condition. At that point, given the condition of existing foundation, and the lack of space in the' existing crawl space, the most practicable solution involved building the 4'-0" extension to the bathroom. I hope this clarifies the situation. Sincerely, Kurtz & Associates, Inc. 1 Brian J. Kurtz, P.E. oe -rata To HE P¢o0 E r - b o nl I 2tY CCRY SY TNe OWNe reset.

SITE DATA:0.30 acres WATER/SEWER:unknown ACCESS:CR 320 EXISTING ZONING:A/I I.DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSAL, A.Site Description: The subject property is located in the northwest quadrant of the East Rifle I70 intersection. Improvements on the site include an existing single - fa1y home and certain accessory structures. A vicinity map is attached on page B.Request: The applicant is requesting a variance from the required twenty-five (25) foot setback from the rear property line, to allow for an addition to the existing dwelling unit. The proposed variance would the place the west wall of the proposed addition approximately four (4) feet from the rear property line. The applicant's engineer has stated that the encroachments were necessary to effectively repair a plumbing problem created b a broken pipe in the existing bathroom. See site plan and application pgs. — 7 1- II. MAJOR ISSUES AND CONCERNS A.Zoning: Section 3.01.06 (2), requires that a rear yard setback of 25 ft. be observed for any house located in the A/I zone district. The existing house is already nonconforming, in that the northwest comer of the structure is within the 25 ft. set back. The property line in question is considered the rear property line, since it the line opposite the front lot line. B.Section 9.05.03 states that "by reason of exceptional narrowness, shallowness or shape of the specific piece of property at the time of this resolution or by reason of exceptional topographic conditions or other extraordinary and exceptional situation or condition of such piece of property," the Board may authorize a variance. In addition, the Board must also find that: 1.That the variance granted is the minimum necessary to alleviate such practical difficulties or undue hardship upon the owner of said property; and 2.That such relief may be granted without substantial detriment to the public good and without substantially impairing the intent and purpose of the General Plan or this Resolution; and 3.That the circumstances found to constitute a hardship was not caused by the applicant, are not due to or the result of general conditions in the district, and cannot be practically corrected; and 4.That the concurring vote of four (4) members of the Board shall be necessary to decide in favor of the applicant. C.The proposed variance is from a regulation that was enacted in 1973 to deal with new construction. The lot is an irregular shape and the house was placed in the present location prior to that time. As such, it is a nonconforming use. Given the existing location of the house in relation to the property lines, it does not appear that any remodel of the house could be accomplished without additional encroachment into the setback in question. Given the engineers statement, it appears that any repair of the bathroom would require an additional encroachment into the setback. Staff feels that the proposed variance is the minimum necessary to allow for the repair. That there is no reasonable alternative to the construction, short of demolition of the entire house and rebuilding in another location on the lot. 2- IV. SUGGESTED FINDINGS 1.That the application for Variance was found to be consistent with the requirements and standards of Section 9.05 of the Garfield County Zoning Resolution of 1978, as amended. 2.That proper publication and public notice was provided as required for the public hearing before the Zoning Board of Adjustment. 3.That the variance approved is the minimum necessary to alleviate the difficulties and not be to the detriment of the public. 4.That the public hearing before the Zoning Board of Adjustment was extensive and complete, that all facts, matters and issues were submitted and that all interested parties were heard at the meeting. V. RECOMMENDATION APPROVAL of the proposed variance as requested, subject to the new construction being completed in compliance with the building permit issued by the Garfield County Building Department. 3- I , rn m 1 i cR U 5 " -4 ' 4-tivr-e wi 0Knigt:3,_g g1 4 k:). est g .LL M ql L } ]$ Iil 2 g 3hilL i lt m13 4111.N0. 03 O tjI1 .

A broken plumbing pipe in the crawl space beneath the bathroom instigated the project. Given the lack of space in the existing crawl space, it was necessary to penetrate the exterior concrete block foundation on the west side of the home. That existing foundation proved to be in very poor condition. At that point, given the condition of existing foundation, and the lack of space in the existing crawl space, the most practicable solution involved building the 4'4' extension to the bathroom.

As it is submitted, it appears that it would be denied due to a lack of justification for the proposed variance. On the application form, Section J. notes the reasons that the Board of Adjustment may approve a variance request. It is your responsibility to provide the information and arguments in support of the proposed variance. I would note that Section 9.05.03 (3), states that the "that the circumstances found to constitute a hardship were not caused by the applicant You need to demonstrate that it was necessary to extend the wall out toward the property line and that the same thing could not be accomplished without extending the wall toward the property line. Since the Board of Adjustment only meets once a month, on the fourth Monday of the month, a variance application will not be eligible for consideration until March 23, 1998. This assumes that you can get a complete application into this office by February 25, 1998. If the application is submitted any later than that, it will be difficult to meet the publication deadlines for the newspaper and mailing. As a staff, we cannot write the application, so I would suggest that you may want to hire someone to assist you in completing the application. If you still have questions about the information and justification necessary for a variance, you may call or write to this office.

Today I issued a "Stop Work Order" to the workers on the site because the work was being done without a permit. It is a violation of State of Colorado and Garfield County statutes to do this work without a building permit. You may obtain a permit application form at our office at the below address. We will require two sets of drawings of the work to be done, a site plan showing the building in relationship to property lines and certification from a Colorado registered engineer that states to us that the work done so far is in conformity to County regulations. Please be advised that the provisions of the Garfield County Zoning Resolution of 1978, as amended, and Section 30 -28 -124 of the Colorado Revised Statutes, as amended, provide that it is unlawful to use any building, structure, or land in violation of any county zoning resolution duly adopted by the Board of County Commissioners. Any person, firm, or corporation found to have violated such zoning resolutions is guilty of a misdemeanor and, upon conviction, can be punished by a fine of not more than $100.00 or by imprisonment in the County Jail for 10 days, or by both fine and imprisonment. Each day can be considered a separate violation. The County also has civil legal remedies available to it, including the initiation of legal proceedings to obtain injunction or abatement of any unlawful use of land in violation of the County Zoning Resolution. If communication with this office to initiate corrective action regarding the above alleged violations is not received within 30 days of the receipt of this letter, the Building and Planning Department will turn all information over to the County Attorneys office for possible legal action. Your cooperation in this matter will be appreciated in the interest of avoiding the necessity of having to litigate this issue.

AMBROSE CLOSING DATE:March 15, 1989 PROPERTY DESCRIPTION Tract of Land in Section 16. Township 6 South. Range 93 West of the 6th P.M.. County of Garfield. State of Colorado Real Estate taxes for the State of Colorado are computed each year on an assessment of the property as of March 1st. However, the actual tax valuation is not available to the general public until late in the year. For this reason, an estimate of taxes is most often the basis for pro- rating taxes between buyers and sellers. Relative to the sale of the above property, the buyer has received from the seller a Real Estate tax credit of $100,97 for that portion of the year prior to the buyer's ownership, and both buyer and seller specifically agree as shown by (XX) that: XX Taxes have been prorated on the previous year's taxes in the amount of $ 504.83 and (1) are to beu co . nsidered final settlement. okek XXblAzkeXXxii txthims atot aPxaaatt(booesX attic( lxime Xi61pAuthi(YrAolutintoax antkrocktotmcnickx Taxes have been prorated on an estimate of taxes in the amount of Estimate based on Mill Levy of an assessment of and (1) are to be considered final settlement.

Ambrose GARFIELD COUNTY Building and Planning Department February 17, 1998 Phil Ambrose 12095 CR 320 Rifle, CO 81650 RE: Variance request Dear Mr. Ambrose: Enclosed is your application and check for a variance to allow for the construction of an addition onto your residence at 12095 CR 320. As it is submitted, it appears that it would be denied due to a lack of justification for the proposed variance. On the application form, Section J. notes the reasons that the Board of Adjustment may approve a variance request. It is your responsibility to provide the information and arguments in support of the proposed variance. I would note that Section 9.05.03 (3), states that the "that the circumstances found to constitute a hardship were not caused by the applicant You need to demonstrate that it was necessary to extend the wall out toward the property line and that the same thing could not be accomplished without extending the wall toward the property line. Since the Board of Adjustment only meets once a month, on the fourth Monday of the month, a variance application will not be eligible for consideration until March 23, 1998. This assumes that you can get a complete application into this office by February 25, 1998. If the application is submitted any later than that, it will be difficult to meet the publication deadlines for the newspaper and mailing. As a staff, we cannot write the application, so I would suggest that you may want to hire someone to assist you in completing the application. If you still have questions about the information and justification necessary for a variance, you may call or write to this office. Sincerely, Mark L. Bean, D rector Building & Planning Department xc: Steve Hackett 109 8th Street, Suite 303 945- 8212/285 -7972 Glenwood Springs, Colorado 81601
