ESTES VALLEY Bo
D OF ADJUSTMENT
EETING DATE: April 11, 2017
REQUEST: Variance from the Estes Valley Development Code (EVDC) Section 4.3, Table 4-2
which requires a 25-foot front setback for buildings/structures in the (E-1) Estate Zoning District
to accommodate a proposed garage and living space addition.
LOCATION: 425 Chapin Lane within the Estes Park Town Boundary.
OWNER:
Joseph Verne Urquhart
PLIC T/CONSULTANT/ENGINEER:
Primary Contact: Jim and Eunice Docter, Docter Construction, LLC
Consultant/Engineer: Van Horn Engineering and Surveying, Inc.
STAFF CONTACT: Carrie McCool, Planner
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approval with Conditions.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND:
The subject property is zoned E-1 Estate and is a 0.27-acre triangular shaped lot, which is well
below the 1-acre minimum lot size requirement of the Estate zone district. It has frontage on
two streets: Chapin Lane and U.S. 34 Bypass (West Wonderview Avenue). Access is provided
off of Chapin Lane which rises from the highway bypass. The highway right-of-way is
approximately 150-feet in width; however, the highway is not constructed to the full width at this
time. There is a 6-foot privacy fence located on the property line which is also the boundary of
the bypass right-of-way. Mature trees within the right-of-way provide a buffer between the
home and the bypass in its current location, The existing 1-story home was built in 1996 and is
located within the required setbacks (front, side, and rear).
A side and rear setback variance to build a storage shed 10 feet from the property lines in the
northern portion of the lot was denied in 2003. The site plan depicts a wood deck in this
location. The property currently contains non -conforming structures (wood decks, steps, and a
shed) that also do not meet the setback requirements.
The applicant would like to build a 1,208 square foot addition (604 square feet per floor) to their
existing 1,338 square foot home to accommodate a new garage with some limited living space
and an accessory kitchen above it to care for the owner's ailing parents and provide a garage
for vehicle storage. As such, the applicant is requesting to reduce the setback from the 25'
required to 12.5' from the side adjacent to U.S. 34 Bypass to accommodate the proposed
garage and living space addition.
SITE ilATA MAP & TA LE:
The subject property is a triangular lot located at the intersection of West Wonderview Avenue
(Highway 34) and Chapin Lane with access provided off of Chapin Lane. The property is zoned
E-1, Estate, a zoning district intended to preserve the predominately lower density residential
uses that have been established in the Estes Valley. It borders similar low -density residential
uses, E-1 Estate zoned properties to the north, west, and east and multi -family residential
development to the south,

REVIEW CRITERIA: In accordance with Section 3.6 C. "Standards for Review" of the EVDC,
all applications for variances shall demonstrate compliance with the applicable standards and
criteria contained therein.
The Board of Adjustment is the Decision -Making Body for this application.
Please refer to the revised "Statement of Intent" document received on April 5, for the
Applicant's comments regarding the review standards.
1. Special circumstances or conditions exist (e.g., exceptional topographic conditions,
narrowness, shallowness or the shape of the property) that are not common to other areas
or buildings similarly situated and practical difficulty may result from strict compliance with
this Code's standards, provided that the requested variance will not have the effect of
nullifying or impairing the intent arid purposes of either the specific standards, this Code or
the Comprehensive Plan.
Staff Finding: The special circumstances associated with this lot stem from its irregular
triangular lot shape and from the fact that it is undersized for the zoning district minimum lot
area standards. The lot has been 0.27 acres since 1963 and was previously zoned RS-
Single Family in the 1980's. The 1995 zoning map shows the property zoning as E Estate.
During this time, the E Estate zoning district required a 60,000 square foot lot area
minimum and the RS Single family required 18,000 square feet. The existing single-family
home was built in 1996 and is currently located within the 25' front, rear and side setbacks,
Estes Valley Board of Adjustment, April 11, 20 7 Page 2 of 6
Urquhart Setback Variance Request
thereby; limiting the ability of the homeowner to make improvement or additions to the
property.
The applicant has noted that the Estate zone district designation was originally dedicated for
lots greater than 1 acre; their lot being almost a quarter of that gives the lot a hardship for
adding a garage or additional living space. Staff finds that the property has been
undersized per the previous and current zone district designation for many years, Any
modification to the existing home, therefore, requires a variance. The undersized, triangular
configuration of the lot create special circumstances that are unique to the site.
2. In determining "practical difficulty," the BOA shall consider the following factors:
a. Whether there can be any beneficial use of the property without the variance.
Staff Finding: The existing house was originally constructed in the current location in
1996 within the required setbacks. There can be beneficial use of the property without
the variance in that the existing' house can continue to be used as a single-family home,
The applicant has noted that the lot can and will have beneficial use as their home but,
they want to add on,
b. Whether the variance is substantial.
Staff Finding: The applicant would like to build a garage and additional living space
with an accessory kitchen above it encroaching into the setback by 12.5-feet. This
represents a fifty percent (50%) deviation from the setback requirements, which is
substantial. The applicant, agrees that the variance is substantial to the arterial road
setback but noted that "should the property be zone R Residential, the front setback
would be 15' and the side adjacent to the arterial would be 25',"
c. Whether the essential character of the neighborhood would be substantially altered or
whether adjoining properties would suffer a substantial detriment as a result of the
variance.
Staff Finding: The lots adjacent to the subject property have structures that are
outside of the required 25-foot setbacks while the property to the south is high -density
residential, The figure below depicts the setback nonconformities in the area.

Urquhart Setback Variance Request
The applicant states that the essential character of the neighborhood will not be affected
as the variance request is only adjacent to the Bypass, which has a large width right-of-
way. While the north edge of pavement for the Bypass is 52.1' from the side property
line currently, the entire right-of-way width is approximately 150-feet. US Highway 34
Bypass is an arterial and thus could be built out within the 150' of dedicated right-of-way
in the future if traffic counts warranted the expansion. This could result in a garage with
additional living space located within 12.5' of the Bypass in the future which could
impact views from the traveling public. The construction of habitable floor area within
12.5' of an arterial such as US Highway 34 Bypass is not in character of the community
as most residential zone districts (i.e., E, R, R-2 and RM) maintain the required 25'
setback from arterial streets.
Installation of a landscape (street frontage) buffer would be the only means to mitigate
potential negative impacts of a reduced setback from the arterial road. Staff has set
forth a recommended condition of approval accordingly.
d. Whether the variance would adversely affect the delivery of public services such as
water and sewer.
Staff Finding: Ail necessary services are already extended to the existing house. The
proposed variances would not adversely affect the delivery of public services such as
water and sewer,
e. Whether the Applicant purchased the property with knowledge of the requirement,
Staff Finding: The existing house was constructed in 1996 within the required 25'
setbacks. The applicant stated that they were aware of proximity to the Bypass;
however, they were not aware of the 25' setbacks on all sides of the lot.
Whether the Applicant's predicament can be mitigated through some method other than
a variance.
Staff Finding: The triangular shape and size of the lot as well as the size of the
existing home limits the ability of the homeowner to make improvements or additions to
the property.
Staff has worked with the applicant to explore alternatives for the garage and additional
living space, which included reducing their size of the addition and locating it in the front
of the house. The front of the house is the only area where there is room within the
building envelope. This area is also setback significantly farther from the U.S. Highway
34 :ypass; however, the amount of grading required made this option prohibitive.
The applicant revised the configuration of the addition which resulted in a reduction in
the setback variance request from 5' to 12.5'. The applicant has stated that "screening
can take place to mitigate the visual and noise of the bypass road and landscaping may
be added later."
3. No variance shall be granted if the submitted conditions or circumstances affecting the
Applicant's property are of so general or recurrent a nature as to make reasonably
practicable the formulation of a general regulation for such conditions or situations.
Estes Valley Board of Adjustment, April 11, 2017
[74 Urquhart Setback Variance Request
Page 4 of 6
Staff Finding: The applicant's request for the variances are due to the size of the existing
home, triangular lot shape and size. Staff finds that the circumstances are unique to the
applicant's proposal, and are not of so general or recurrent of a nature as to make it
reasonable for the regulation to be changed to accommodate similar circu stances,
4. No variance shall be granted reducing the size of lots contained in an existing or proposed
subdivision if it will result in an increase in the number of lots beyond the number otherwise
permitted for the total subdivision, pursuant to the applicable zone district regulations.
Staff Finding: The variance requests will not result in a reduction in the size of lots
contained in an existing or proposed subdivision.
5. If authorized, a variance shall represent the least deviation from the regulations that will
afford relief.
Staff Finding: As noted above, the applicant has explored various design options. Staff
finds that the current variance request represents the least deviation from the regulations
that would afford relief,
6. Under no circumstances shall the BOA grant a variance to allow a use not permitted, or a
use expressly or by implication prohibited under the terms of this Code for the zone district
containing the property for which the variance is sought.
StaffFinding: The variances requested will not permit a use prohibited or not expressly
permitted in the Estate zone district.
7, In granting such variances, the BOA may require such conditions as will, in its independent
judgment, secure substantially the objectives of the standard so varied or modified.
Staff Finding: Staff recommends the Board consider requiring the installation of a street
frontage buffer (landscape buffer) if the decision is to grant the setback variance. The
Board may also consider other conditions of approval that address any concerns that arise
during the public hearing.
REFERRAL AND PUBLIC COMMENTS: This variance request was routed to reviewing agency
staff and adjacent property owners for consideration and comment.
The public hearing for the variance request was publicly noticed in accordance with the
applicable public notification requirements of the Estes Valley Development Code. No formal
written comments were received from the public or adjacent property owners. Any written
comments will continue to be posted to yyyvyv.95.tes9rafcqrr±,21:qgppijcations,
STAFF FINDINGS:
Staff finds that the application for the proposed variance request substantially complies with the
applicable review criteria outlined in Section 3.6.0 "Standards for Review" of the Estes Valley
Development Code and advances housing policies and objectives adopted in the Estes Valley
Comprehensive Plan.

Estes Park, CO 80517
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
On April 11, 2017, the setback variance for Joe Urquhart @ 425 Chapin Lane, Estes Park, CO 80517,
was approved with conditions. The staff recommeded the Board consider requiring the installation of a
street frontage buffer (landscape buffer) if the decision was to grant the setback variance. The street
frontage buffer was the condition upon granting the variance. We have attached a landscape buffer plan
for your review. Due to the lateness of the year, landscaper Joan Sapp does not recommed starting the
plantings until June, 2018. She has schedule this project for June, 2018.
The owners are requesting that the 1 year construction time table be extended. Each owner, (husband
and wife), is attending trade school or professional training to improve their income prospects. In
addition, the husband is a military veteran. Their plan is to obtain a foundation permit for the proposed
addition at this time and have it finished by this December, 2017. They would then wait 2 to 3 years to
complete the project when their joint income will qualify them for appropriate financing. Will
Birchfield, Chief Building Official with Estes Park Building Safety Department has agreed this will be
an acceptable arrangement from his department's point of view. The apartment portion of the addition
will be used to house her ailing parents who are currently living with them. For these reasons we
request that the 1 year constuction time table be extended until the owners are ready to proceed with the
balance of the project.
Thank you 1 your consideration,

RE: 425 Chapin Lane Setback Variance Change
Dear Carrie,
Regarding the email you sent yesterday (April 4, 2017) the applicant wishes to revise their
original application and move forward with an accessory kitchen instead of an ADU, we are
submitting this letter requesting and stating withdrawal of the ADU variance.
Please put a copy of this letter in the packet of materials in the Board of Adjustment packets..
Attached is also a revised Site Plan with an updated garage size (taken from 24' wide to 16' wide)
that also removed all reference to an ADU above the garage. Now it is an Accessory Kitchen and
some limited living space there. The Building Code requirements for living space above a garage
will be complied with (for fire safety and more).
If there are any questions, please phone me at (970) 586-9388 ext. 30.
Sincerely,

VAN HORN ENGINEERING AND SURVEYING
Regarding the email you sent Sunday March 19th about 425 Chapin Lane Variance Proposal, I
wanted to give you something in writing that follows the format from section 3.6.0 from the
Code:
1. The shape of the subject lot is that of a triangle, which is not standard for lot
dimensioning and therefore makes it nearly impossible for any improvements to be added
to the lot as the prescribed setbacks have a lot of impact to the buildable area. Also the lot
is zoned E-1, which was originally dedicated for lots greater than 1 acre; our lot being
almost a quarter of that also gives the lot a hardship for adding a garage (minimal space).
2.a. The lot can and will have beneficial use as our clients home has been built just within the
25' setbacks. As the application suggests, they want to add on.
2.b. Yes, the near 50% variance is substantial to the road setback. Should this property be
zoned R (1/4 acre), the front setback would be 15' and the side adjacent to the arterial would
be 25'.
2.c. The essential character of the neighborhood will not be not be affected as the variance
request is only adjacent to the road, Wonderview Avenue, which has a large width right-of-
way.
2.d. No, the proposed variance would not adversely affect the delivery of public services
such as water and sewer due to the utilities already existing in the area.
2.e. The applicant is aware of proximity to road, however, they were not aware of the 25'
setbacks on all sides of the lot.
1043 Fish Creek Road • Estes Park, CO 80517. 970-586-9388 • Fax: 970-586-8101 • E-mail: vhe@airbits.com
2.f. Screening can take place to mitigate the visual and noise of the Bypass Road.
Landscaping may be added later.
3. The reasons for this variance request are specific and not general. Also, unique lot
characteristics suggest that the variance is the best outcome.
4. The proposed addition is attached to the existing building, and no additional lots will be
created from or by this proposed variance.
5. A 16' garage width is proposed, which is less than the standard width for a 2 car garage
and is not unreasonable.
6. This existing/proposed use is not prohibited in E-1 Zone (Single Family Residential). The
applicant is not asking for a use waiver.
7. Conditions desired by the BOA (such as screening) will be considered to mitigate this
variance/'impact.
Ample parking exists on site for both the single family residential use and the living space above
the garage (not an official ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit). Vehicles can park in the proposed
garage, in front of the garage, and other locations on site.
The Estes Valley Comprehensive Plan was implemented in 1996. Blanket zoning overlays were
done at that time and created non -conforming properties. 425 Chapin Lane (.27 Acre) was zoned
E-1 Estate (1 acre minimum) creating a situation where the pre-existing home barely lies within
the new building envelope allowing virtually no improvements or additions. The bypass road
came long after the creation of the Al Fresco Subdivision Plat (1909). The associated "Arterial"
Setbacks that came with the bypass are an undue hardship, particularly given the large right-of-
way and the actual distance from the proposed addition and the physical nearest edge of the
bypass road (at very near 52' away).
If there are any questions, please phone me at (970) 586-9388 ext. 30.

RE: Statement of Intent: We are asking for a Setback Variance and
a variance to the Land Use Regulation 5.2 (9) Lot Area for:
Joseph Urquhart
425 Chapin Lane
Estes Park, CO 80517
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
The Estes 'Valley Comprehensive Plan was implemented in1996. Blanket zoning overlays were done at
that time and created non -conforming properties. 425 Chapin Lane (.27 acre) was zoned 1].-1 Estate
(I acre minimum) creating a situation where the pre-existing home barely lies within the new building
envelope allowing virtually no improvements or additions. The arbitrary zoning has created a hardship.
for the owners who now wish to build an addition to their horne. The addition would be attached to the
house with a garage on the ground level and an apartment above. The owner's ailing parents would live
in the apartment and the garage would allow for vehicle storage.
The specific hardships we wish to address are:
I. Setback requirements. The 25' setbacks resulting forrn the E-1 Estate rezone have created a
restricted envelope.
2. Lot shape. The triangular lot shape is not standard and creates a restricted envelope.
3. Lot size. The lot is undersized (.27a.ere) for being in E-1. Estate (1 acre minimum) zoning.
4. Ailing parents. The new ADU would be occupied by the owner's extended family. They wish
to care for their ailing parents who are financially unable to provide a home for themselves.
Vehicle storage. The 4 occupants of the house each have a vehicle. They would like to be able
to store 2 of the vehicles in an enclosed garage,out of sight from the street.
Our variance request would include:
(1) A variance to the 25' setback requirement along the south property line to allow for the
proposed addition. The property adjacent to the south is US highway 34 bypass Right -of -Way.
Wonderview Bypass is identified as a 2 to 3 lane arterial in the LV[)C. However, E-1 Estate
zonin.g does not allow a setback tr arterials greater than 25",
A variance .to the Land Use Regulation 5.2 (9) Lot Area,. Lot area must be one and thirty-three
one -hundredths (1.33) times the MilliMUM lot area of the district.discussed the Atni use with
Randy Hunt and he said it was not an issue. The proposed. ADE would include the .following
items allowed or required by code:
A. 2" kitchen
B. Same address
C. Interior access door (90 minute tire rated door)
D. 2 hour firewall separation between units
