2019-01_1225 Hartford Dr_Disposition Packet N O T I C E FINDINGS AND DECISION OF THE CITY OF BOULDER BOARD OF ZONING ADJUSTMENT DISPOSITION OF ZONING CASE DOCKET NUMBER BOZ2019-01 CONCERNING THE APPLICATION FOR A VARIANCE OF THE SETBACK REQUIREMENTS OF SECTION 9- 7-1, B.R.C. 1981 AT 1225 HARTFORD DRIVE OF CANDACE SMITH AND DIRK BOS, WHOSE MAILING ADDRESS IS 1225 HARTFORD DRIVE, BOULDER, COLORADO 80305. On February 14, 2019, 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 make modifications to an existing nonstandard single-story addition of a single-family house and to recognize the current site conditions, the applicants are requesting a variance to the rear (west) yard setback in order to meet the minimum rear yard setback requirements for principal structures in the RL-1 zoning district. The resulting rear yard setback will be 11 feet where 25 feet is required and 11 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 3-0 (D. Schafer, M. Hirsch absent. EXECUTED this 14th day of February 2019, effective as of, February 14, 2019. Jill Lester, Presiding Officer of the Board at the Meeting By: _______________ ___________________________ Robbie Wyler, Secretary to the Board of Zoning Adjustment This decision constitutes a final decision as of the date of the hearing at which it was reached. If a variance was granted, the variance expires within 180 (one hundred eighty) days from the date on which it were granted unless a building permit for such variance is applied for within such period.

January 15, 2019 Attention: Robbie Wyler and Board of Zoning Adjustment Re: 1225 Hartford Dr Permit no: BLD-SFD2018-00353 218 6th Avenue Superior, CO 80027 303-666-9100 patrick@summitstudioarchitects.com Dear BOZA board members, Thank you for considering a variance to current rear-yard setback requirements. The setback viola- tion occurred in the late nineties when a conforming structure was connected to the main structure without the benefit of a building permit. Such a variance will establish the existing condition and en- able the property owners to effect modest interior modifications and to upgrade the structure to meet certain building code considerations. Page 1 Former studio Heavy vegetation screening neighboring property to the west BOZA Disposition of Approval Page 5 of 23 Page 2 11.5 feet to property line View from Hartford Drive BOZA Disposition of Approval Page 6 of 23 1.Physical Conditions a.The offending portion of the home is a former studio that was connected to the main structure sometime in the 1990’s by a former homeowner. It is approximately 11.5 feet from the rear property line. The homeowners wish to renovate and reconfigure the interior of this portion of the building to create a bedroom and study area for their daughter who will be attending CU. Meeting the setback would require demolishing a portion of the building resulting in a sub- stantial financial hardship to the homeowners. b.In this neighborhood, this condition is unique to this property. Aerial views for this block of Hartford drive show some accessory buildings closer than the 25’ rear yard setback but no primary dwelling units appear to violate the 25’ setback. c. The property cannot be reasonably developed or improved since meeting the setback would require prohibitively expensive demolition and reconstruction. Here is a note from the client expressing the need for the redevelopment of the property to suit their housing needs: “The remodel is necessary due to the need for additional space for our family of 5 in a 3 bed- room house. We have a daughter that plans to attend CU and she will be able to live at home with the envisioned remodel. Additionally, we have a son who is disabled and it is unlikely he will be able to live independently. The remodel will allow him some independence while keep- ing us nearby to support him as he ages. Thirdly, we have family who visits from overseas and around the country and stays for extended periods and this will allow space to accommo- date them.” Page 3 Aerial view circa 2003 BOZA Disposition of Approval Page 7 of 23 d.This condition has not been caused by the applicant. The applicant purchased the property in September 2017. This condition has existed since at least the late ‘90s. 2.Energy Conservation a.In addition to the setback required for the existing construction, the owners desire an addi- tional 4” for future exterior insulation system to improve wall thermal performance, and an ad- ditional 12” to the height of the structure for rigid insulation to improve roof thermal perfor- mance. 3.Solar Access Not applicable 4.Designated Historic Property Not applicable 5.Requirements for All Variance Approvals a.This setback violation has existed for about 20 years and has gone un-noticed by neighbors and the City of Boulder. The western (rear) property line is heavily vegetated effectively screening that portion of the building. b.The area in question is a low single story addition with a flat roof. It is visually unobtrusive and casts very little shade on the neighboring property to the north. c. The variance requested would be the minimum required to legitimize existing conditions, pre- serve valuable habitable space, minimize disruption to the site, demolition and wasted re- sources. The variance would alleviate significant financial harm to the owners, who bought the home in good faith not realizing the home was not in compliance with the rear yard set- back. d.This portion of the building is less than 10’ tall or not as tall than the theoretical “solar fence”. Therefore, it is not in conflict with Section 9-9-17 Warm regards, Patrick Hubbell, AIA _____________________________________ January 15, 2019 Patrick Hubbell Date Summit Studio Architects, L.L.C.

I would like to share some observations that I think should go into the discussion whether to grant the variance or not. This email is my letter to the Planning and Development Service for the meeting on February 14, 2019 as input for Docket no. BOZ2019-01. I am asking you to forward it to the board members of the zoning adjustment meeting. Thank you! 1. 1225 Hartford Drive after the purchase by Candace Smith and Dirk Bos was immediately rezoned to short term rental and still is zoned this way. 2. On August 28, 2018 I received a notice from the City of Boulder Planning & Development Service that same owners applied to convert part of their house to an ADU - review number AUR2018-00022 even though in their reasoning for the variance now the house is too small for family and guests??? I called the case manager for this application and left a message but have not heard back. Wanted to find out for what part of the house this ADU application was intended. 3. Candace Smith and Dirk Bos have lived at 1225 Hartford for two years. I have never seen a college student aged girl nor a handicapped child in the time Smith/Bos lived there. Candace introduced herself during the summer of 2017 in our backyards. She told me that she has three boys of which I saw two boys play in the backyard during the summer. The third one I was told by Candace was then on a school exchange in the Netherlands. I started seeing and met him just before Boulder fall school begin 2017. My concern is that the owners of 1225 Hartford Drive show strong interest in short term/ADU rental and do so in their application and their plan is to use the renovation to transform the part a variance is sought for to create an ADU/rental. This is not in my interest. I am already surrounded by neighbors that rent (no knowledge if legal or not) and don't want another neighbor doing so. It will lower my property value. Since the plan for the renovation is to add a second story to main house, maybe plans can be changed so the setback can be met again. You might say those are two different subjects - I say maybe but reading the arguments provided by Candace and Dirk in the application for getting the variance point to the fact an ADU/rental is planned for female college student - now/handicapped child - in future - I never met or saw either. As does their application for an ADU prior to the renovation plans. Because of the reasons listed above a variance in this case would not be in my interest. I want the 25' setback back to prevent having to deal with yet another rental situation in the future. I am asking you to consider my arguments during the determination of granting or not granting this variance.

We would have been happy to discuss her concerns with her further but haven't heard from her since then. Here's our response to Ms. Dahnelt's email, which we are prepared to discuss at the board meeting. Her letter has a lot of inaccuracies and presumptions, which we would like to hereby correct. Please feel free to forward to the board. 1. We applied and received a short-term rental license because we initially thought we'd be doing construction work right after purchase before moving in, and we wanted to have some additional support paying for mortgage whilst looking for a builder and architect. This process took longer than we had thought, so we never used it as a rental, and instead we moved into the property to live while still pursuing construction plans. 2. We have let all of our neighbors know about the project. We bought the house with the intention to enlargen it for our family of 5 from the very start, we always considered it too small for our needs long term. The reasons for the ADU are stated in the variance application and are accurate. We were told we needed an ADU designation to add a kitchen in a quasi independent section of the home for family and friends. 3. We moved in to 1225 Hartford in December of 2017 and moved out in December of 2018, after only one year, believing that our intended construction process would be moving forward as planned. We are certainly aware of how many children we have and their genders. We have two boys and one girl, not three boys, and we never stated otherwise. Our oldest daughter is in high school, not college, and has been living with us since August of 2018, and plans to attend CU upon graduation. Unfortunately, our middle child is indeed disabled. We have mountains of paperwork to prove that, including designation from the State of Colorado. We are seeking the variance so we can move forward with the construction project to the main part of the house and move into our home. The planned renovations to our home would add value to the home and therefore the neighborhood. Not approving the variance would result in demolition of an entryway connecting the former studio to the home which would not change the set back for Ms Dahnelt. It would result in additional and significant financial burden to us for the cost of the demolition along with re-construction and decrease the value of our property as the former studio currently serves as a bedroom and bathroom. Our intended use for that section of the home is as stated in the variance application. We are not planning on changing the exterior of the portion of the home that is in violation of the setback in any way. The addition to the home is a second story to the original house well within the setback requirements and is not part of the variance application or a consideration before the Board. Furthermore, approving the variance will not be of determent to any of our neighbors as it is the same structure that has been there for 25 years. Our plan is to use the house the same way whether we have the ADU or not. We believe we meet the criteria for the variance which is the request before the Board.

At the request of this neighbor I will forward it to the board. In typical procedure, this will become a part of the application materials and public record. I also wanted you to be able to read over it ahead of time so that you can come prepared in case the board has any questions or comments specific to anything mentioned within.

I would like to share some observations that I think should go into the discussion whether to grant the variance or not. This email is my letter to the Planning and Development Service for the meeting on February 14, 2019 as input for Docket no. BOZ2019-01. I am asking you to forward it to the board members of the zoning adjustment meeting. Thank you! 1. 1225 Hartford Drive after the purchase by Candace Smith and Dirk Bos was immediately rezoned to short term rental and still is zoned this way. BOZA Disposition of Approval Page 22 of 23 2. On August 28, 2018 I received a notice from the City of Boulder Planning & Development Service that same owners applied to convert part of their house to an ADU - review number AUR2018-00022 even though in their reasoning for the variance now the house is too small for family and guests??? I called the case manager for this application and left a message but have not heard back. Wanted to find out for what part of the house this ADU application was intended. 3. Candace Smith and Dirk Bos have lived at 1225 Hartford for two years. I have never seen a college student aged girl nor a handicapped child in the time Smith/Bos lived there. Candace introduced herself during the summer of 2017 in our backyards. She told me that she has three boys of which I saw two boys play in the backyard during the summer. The third one I was told by Candace was then on a school exchange in the Netherlands. I started seeing and met him just before Boulder fall school begin 2017. My concern is that the owners of 1225 Hartford Drive show strong interest in short term/ADU rental and do so in their application and their plan is to use the renovation to transform the part a variance is sought for to create an ADU/rental. This is not in my interest. I am already surrounded by neighbors that rent (no knowledge if legal or not) and don't want another neighbor doing so. It will lower my property value. Since the plan for the renovation is to add a second story to main house, maybe plans can be changed so the setback can be met again. You might say those are two different subjects - I say maybe but reading the arguments provided by Candace and Dirk in the application for getting the variance point to the fact an ADU/rental is planned for female college student - now/handicapped child - in future - I never met or saw either. As does their application for an ADU prior to the renovation plans. Because of the reasons listed above a variance in this case would not be in my interest. I want the 25' setback back to prevent having to deal with yet another rental situation in the future.
