JENKINS - SIGN VARIANCE - 302 EAST ELKHORN AVENUE:
Joseph P. Jenkins appeared requesting a variance which would allow his
sign to stand 8'2" above the sidewalk rather than the 9' required in
section 17.66.300 4. of the Municipal Code. The projecting sign pre
sently hangs from a bracket approximately 10" below the building over
hang which allows a sidewalk clearance of only 8'2". Howard Stewart,
manager of the "300 Building", spoke in favor of the variance request.
Member Sager moved the variance be denied. Member Palmer seconded the
motion. Upon roll call the motion passed by the following votes: Those
voting "Yes" Members Herzog, Palmer, Sager, Sutter. Those voting "No"
none.
DURWARD - OFF-STREET PARKING VARIANCE - WEST ELKHORN AVENUE:
Dr. James Durward appeared before the Board of Adjustment requesting
the following variances with respect to his property located in Block
7, Town of Estes Park:
1. A variance allowing parking spaces to be varied in size to
serve small and large cars and, therefore, achieving more
spaces for parking.
2. A variance allowing amortization of payments over five years.
3. A variance to require only the net retail area be considered
when determining the off-street parking requirements according
to square footage of area. More specifically, restroom facil
ities, storage areas, elevator and stairways be excluded.
4. A request that the Building Inspector use subsection 7 of
17.64.010 to measure the number of parking spaces rather than
subsection 5.
Dr. Durward then stated that he felt there was no reason to argue these
points at this time since they had been asked for before and denied.
Assistant Town Attorney Bill Babcock advised the Board that it must
consider evidence presented for a variance request and determine if
such evidence is sufficient to grant the variance. However, no evidence
had been presented in support of this variance request and, therefore.
Assistant Town Attorney Babcock recommended the Board deny the request.
Member Sager moved the variance be denied. Member Palmer seconded the
motion. Upon roll call the motion passed by the following votes: Those
voting "Yes" Members Sager, Palmer, Herzog and Sutter. Those voting "No"
none.
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned.
Dale G. Hill, Secretary
