PROJECT INFORMATION AND STAFF COMMENTS
Variance from Section 3.02.06 -
Minimum Setback A/R/RD Zone
District
APPLICANT: Gary Heisel/David Geddes
LOCATION: Lot 1, Block 7, Sunlight View
Subdivision, Second Amended Plat;
located at the north end of Sunlight
View Subdivision on C.R. 117
approximately two (2) miles south
of Glenwood Springs.
SITE DATA: The lot is 1.42 acres in size.
WATER/SEWER: Community water. Community or
individual sewer.
ACCESS. Driveway onto C.R. 117.
EXISTING AND ADJACENT ZONING: A/R/RD
I. RELATIONSHIP TO THE_COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
The subject property is located in District B - Rural Subdivision with Central
Water/Sewer as designated on the Garfield County Comprehensive Plan Management
Districts Map.
II. DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSAL
A. Site Description. The subject property is located at the north end of the Sunlight
View Subdivision just south of the sewage treatment plant. The lot slopes
downward from the County road to an unnamed creek towards the eastside of
the lot. Slopes range from upwards of 40% to less than 20% at the north end of
the lot. The lot is vegetated with sage and scrub oak. The lot is traversed by a
high voltage power line at the south end and an overhead line extending to the
sewage treatment plant. There are currently no improvements on the property.
B. Request: The applicant is requesting a variance from the fifty (50) foot front
yard setback to allow a twenty-five (25) foot setback. The purpose of this
request is to allow the applicant sufficient developable area to construct a single
family residence on the lot.
III. MAJOR ISSUES AND CONCERNS
1. Section 3.02.06 (1) Minimum Setbacks Front Yards requires a 50 foot setback
from the front lot line or 75 feet from the street centerline for an arterial street.
An arterial street is defined as a "street primarily used for through traffic."
2. The subject lot is elongated and relatively narrow (see enclosed maps on pages
LA 4 S ) The applicant's map depicts the building envelope assuming a 50 foot
front setback. Based on this setback, the building envelope ranges from 12 feet
to approximately 45 feet in width. The applicant's proposed residence could be
located in a limited portion of the building envelope due to the width of the
proposed home and the narrowness of the building envelope.
3. The lot is encumbered by a number of topographic and physical limitation. The
southern half of the building envelope is steeply sloped (40%) with large basaltic
rock outcroppings. Much of the rest of building envelope has slopes of 20% to
30%. Towards the rear of the lot is a stream at the base of the slope. The
existing building envelope is further encumbered by a 100 foot wide power line
easement at the south end of the lot and a 10 foot wide easement at the north
end of the lot.
4. The applicant's request is based on a 50 foot front yard setback requirement.
The regulation requires 50 feet from the property line or 75 feet setback from the
street centerline. Along a portion of the lot, the road is located at the eastern
edge of the right of way adjacent to the applicant's lot. This would further serve
to shrink the building envelope even smaller than that depicted by the applicant.
5. Sunlight View subdivision is served by a community sewer system. However,
because a stream lays between the applicant's building site and the sewer main,
it appears phisically and economically unfeasible for the applicant to tie into the
community system. The only portion of the lot suitable for an onsite disposal
system is located just north of the proposed building site. The remainder of the
site is too steep and/or rock strewn.
6. Section 9.05.03 of the Zoning Resolution (Variance - Action by the
Board of Adjustment) states that the Board may authorize a variance to
relieve hardship, provided:
A. That the variance granted is the minimum necessary to alleviate such
practical difficulties or undue hardship upon the owner of said property;
B. 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;
C. That the circumstances found to constitute a hardship were not cause by
the applicant, are not due to or the result of general conditions in the
district, and cannot be practically corrected;
D. That the concurring vote of four (4) members of the Board shall be
necessary to decide in favor of the appellant.
7. This request is necessitated by the unusual shape, size and physical limitations
of the subject property. The hardships are not caused by the applicant and
cannot be practically corrected.
• J
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 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. REMMISIENDATIQN
APPROVAL, subject to the following conditions:
1. All required Building and I.S.D.S. permits shall be obtained.

RE: David Geddes Variance - Lot 1, Block 7, Sunlight View Subdivision - Second Amended
Plat
Attn. Toni:
At their meeting on October 31, 1991, the Garfield County Zoning Board of Adjustment
approved a variance from the fifty foot (50') front yard setback to allow a twenty-five foot (25')
setback for Lot 1, Block 7, Sunlight View Subdivision, Second Amended Plat. The permit was
granted subject to one (1) condition, namely obtaining all required building and sanitation
permits. This condition has been satisfied.
I trust this letter will be sufficient verification of the Board's action. Call me if you have any
questions.
Sincerely,
Andrew C. McGregor

1. RELAIIDNSHIP TO THE COMPREl-I NSIVE PLAN
The subject property is located in District 11 - Rural Subdivision with Central
Water/Sewer as designated on the Garfield County Comprehensive Plan Management
Districts Map.
11. DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSAL
A. ,Site Description: The subject property is located at the north end of the Sunlight
View Subdivision just south of the sewage treatment plant. The lot slopes
downward from the County road to an unnamed creek towards the eastside of
the lot. Slopes range from upwards of 40% to less than 20% at the north end of
the lot. The lot is vegetated with sage and scrub oak. The lot is traversed by a
high voltage power line at the south end and an overhead line extending to the
sewage treatment plant. There are currently no improvements on the property.
B. Rwest: The applicant is requesting a variance from the fifty (50) foot front
yard setback to allow a twenty -live (25) foot setback. The purpose of this
request is to allow the applicant sufficient developable area to construct a single
fancily residence on the lot.
MP
•r
I11. MAJOR ISSUES AND CONCERNS
1. Section 3.02.06 (1) Minimum Setbacks Front Yards requires a 50 foot setback
from the front lot line or 75 feet from the street centerline for an arterial street.
An arterial street is defined as a "street primarily used for through traffic."
2. The subject lot is elongated and relatively narrow (see enclosed maps on pages
Li 4 ) The applicant's map depicts the building envelope assuming a 50 foot
front setback. Based on this setback, the building envelope ranges from 12 feet
to approximately 45 feet in width. The applicant's proposed residence could be
located in a limited portion of the building envelope due to the width of the
proposed home and the narrowness of the building envelope.
3. The lot is encumbered by a number of topographic and physical limitation. The
southern halfofthe building envelope is steeply sloped (40%) with large basaltic
rock outcroppings. Much of the rest of building envelope has slopes of 20% to
30%. Towards the rear of the lot is a stream at the base of the slope. The
existing building envelope is further encumbered by a 100 foot wide power line
easement at the south end of the lot and a 10 foot wide easement at the north
end of the lot.
4. The applicant's request is based on a 50 foot front yard setback requirement.
The regulation requires 50 feet from the property line or 75 feet setback from the
street centerline. Along a portion of the lot, the road is located at the eastern
edge of the right of way adjacent to the applicant's lot. This would further serve
to shrink the building envelope even smaller than that depicted by the applicant.
5. Sunlight View subdivision is served by a community sewer system. However,
because a stream lays between the applicant's building site and the sewer main,
it appears phisically and economically unfeasible for the applicant to tie into the
community system. The only portion of the lot suitable for an onsite disposal
system is located just north of the proposed building site. The remainder of the
site is too steep and/or rock strewn.
6. Section 9.05.03 of the Zoning Resolution (Variance - Action by the
Board of Adjustment) states that the Board may authorize a variance to
relieve hardship, provided:
A. That the variance granted is the minimum necessary to alleviate such
practical difficulties or undue hardship upon the owner of said property;
B. 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;
C. That the circumstances found to constitute a hardship were not cause by
the applicant, are not due to or the result of general conditions in the
district, and cannot be practically corrected;
D. That the concurring vote of four (4) members of the Board shall be
necessary to decide in favor of the appellant.
7. This request is necessitated by the unusual shape, size and physical limitations
of the subject property. The hardships are not caused by the applicant and
cannot be practically corrected.
J
1 V. SUGGESTED ELN DINGS
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 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, subject to the following conditions:
1. All required Building and I.S.D.S. permits shall be obtained.

VARIANCE REQUEST
LOT 1 BLOCK 7 SUNLIGHT VIEW
A variance is requested to change the front yard setback to
25' for Lot 1 Block 7 Sunlight View Subdivision. The present
setback requirement is 50'.
This variance is requested so a home can be built on the
property in a feasible location. If the present building envelope
is used, the only building location is a combination of a steep
slope from front to back and a major outcropping of rock on the
south portion of the lot. By reducing the front setback to 25', it
is possible to build the home in a less severe slope area and a
lesser rock formation location. The farther the lot goes to the
north, the less severe the slope is, the outcropping of rock
appears to become less prominent, and the more practical the lot
becomes to build upon. Without the setback being reduced to 25',
the buildable area of the lot is too narrow to accommodate the
proposed building in an economically feasible way.
The proposed location of the home would still be approximately
40' from the front of the home to the edge of the existing Four
Mile Road, County Road 117. The closest homes are several hundred
feet away from the proposed building site and there would be no
negative view restrictions placed upon the existing homes by
granting the request for a variance.
