FINDINGS AND DECISION OF THE CITY OF BOULDER BOARD OF ZONING
ADJUSTMENT DISPOSITION OF ZONING CASE
DOCKET NUMBER BOZ2018-24
CONCERNING THE APPLICATION FOR A VARIANCE OF THE SETBACK REQUIREMENTS OF SECTION 9-
7-1, B.R.C. 1981 AT 3023 7TH STREET OF ASHLEY WICK AND OLIVER GUINNESS, WHOSE MAILING
ADDRESS IS 3023 7TH STREET, BOULDER, COLORADO 80304.
On November 8, 2018, the City of Boulder Board of Zoning Adjustment, a quorum being present, held a
public hearing, after giving notice as required by law, on the application for the following variance:
As part of a proposal to construct a second story atop a portion of an existing single-story house (with basement) as
well as renovate the interior of the home, the applicants are requesting a variance to the south interior side yard
setback in order to meet the combined side yard setback regulations of the RL-1 zoning district. The portions of the
proposed addition and renovation located within the required south setback include; 1) an enclosed twelve square
foot space where an open niche on the south side of the house is currently located and 2) a new 88 square foot deck
with railings above this space where the wall and gable roof to the home currently exist. All other portions of the
addition and renovation meet required setbacks. The resulting south setback will be approximately 5.2 feet (taken
from both the enclosed niche as well as the deck and railings) where 10.3 feet is required and 5.2 feet exists today.
Section of the Land Use Code to be modified: Section 9-7-1, BRC 1981.
Based on our field investigation and the relevant testimony, exhibits, and other evidence introduced at the
hearing, and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Boulder Revised Code, 1981, we find by a
preponderance of the evidence that the criteria for granting a variance have been met, and grant the variance as
requested:
This variance is limited to the use and structure for which it was requested, including the location on the
lot and maximum height, as approved by the Board of Zoning Adjustment.
This variance was approved by the vote of 4-0 (D. Schafer absent).
EXECUTED this 8th day of November 2018, effective as of, November 8, 2018.
Michael Hirsch, Presiding Officer of the Board at the Meeting
