Lot 46A/46B. BloLk 1, Wildridge Subdivision. Setback Variance. Public Hearing
Steve Amsbaugh stated that he has provided a compilation of a research of the files and the
information provided by Rick Pylman.
The existing Lot 46, Block 1, Wildridge Subdivision was platted into a duplex subdivision about three
years ago. In order to do the duplex subdivision two building footprint lots were created, Lots 46A
and 46B. Also created was a common tract which is common to both parties. The homes were then
constructed on those two building envelopes and it was later discovered that the roof overhang for
those buildings extended over the building envelope line. Therefore the applicants are in for a request
to extend and expand the building er velope to include the entire building as built. There is also a third
request and that is that on 46B a deck and hot tub addition has been constructed and that deck
happens to extend a few inches into the rear yard setback of ten feet. To clean this up the applicant is
requesting a side yard variance of one foot and a rear yard variance of one foot.
The homes are on a steeply sloping site that slopes from the street up to the rear property fine. The
deck itself is trapped between the house and the upper slope of the rear property line. It is not visible

from adjacent properties because it is below grade. There are no homes on the adjoining properties at
this time.
Nick Bellino, occupant of 46B, stated that the encroachments were discovered when a survey of the
properties was done.
Chairman Perkins opened the public hearing and asked if there were any comments from the audience.
with no input from the public, Chairman Perkins then closed the public hearing and asked for
comments from the Commission.
Jack Hunn asked how close the homes were tc each other. The applicant stated that they were about
eight to ten feet apart. Hunn asked if there were any building code concerns with the buildings being
that close. Steve Amsbaugh stated that the files he researched did not indicate any concerns.
The Commission had no other concerns regarding this request.
Henry Vest moved to grant approval for the side yard setback and rear yard setback variance request
for Lot 46A/46B, Block 1, Wildridge Subdivision, citing the following findings:
A. That the granting of the variance will not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent
with the limitations on other properties classified in the same district;
B. That the granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or
welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity;
C. That the variance is warranted for the following reason:
1. The strict, literal interpretation and enforcement of the specified regulation would
result in practical difficulty or unnecessary physical hardship inconsistent with the objectives of this
title.
Sue Railton seconded and the motion carried unanimously.
Lot 88, Block 4. Wildridge Subdivision. Monroe Residence, Final Design Review
Steve Amsbaugh stated that the applicant has submitted a final design review request for a rooftop
addition. The rooftop addition is proposed to go where the existing rooftop stairwell is as well as
occupy the same space that the rooftop deck now occupies. The materials proposed for the addition

are white stucco, the same as the existing residence and the window treatment would be the same as
the existing residence.
The Commission members had no problems with the proposed addition.
Jack Hunn moved to grant final design approval to Lot 88, Block 4, Wildridge Subdivision, the
Monroe Residence addition.
Henry Vest seconded and the motion carried unanimously.
Lot 69, Block 3. Wildridge Subdivision, Brethauer Residence, Final Design Review. Submittal of
Requested Information
Steve Amsbaugh stated that, at the last meeting, the Commission requested the applicant come back
with more detail on the retaining wall at the rear of the house. The applicant has a solution that they
would like to present and included in it is more detail to the landscaping plan in relationship to the rear
wall.
Ron Brethauer provided a copy of the plans, laying them out before the Commission members in front
of the microphones. The discussions that followed regarding the landscaping are not clear due to too
much noise. Jack Hunn asked if there would be an automatic irrigating system. It sounds like the
response was yes. Also discussed was the stepping of the wall, but this is not clear either, due to
several people speaking at the same time and the noise of the plans being rattled.
Discussion followed on the Town requirements for structural engineering on a wall such as this. Steve
Amsbaugh stated that if the Town Engineer felt, at time of plan review, that this wall was unstable he
would require engineered plans.
Rhoda Schneiderman moved to grant approval to Lot 69, Block 3, Wildridge, Brethauer single family
residence, final design review with the recommendation that if the retaining walls reach a height that
the Town has to require structural engineering on it, that they do so.
Patti Dixon seconded and the motion carried unanimously.

Lot 32, Block 1, Benchmark at Beaver Creek Subdivision, Beck Commercial Building, Conceptual
Design Review
Steve Amsbaugh stated that because this is a conceptual design review request, he would like the
applicant to present the project. He stated that the site is adjacent to an existing building and the
applicant proposes to duplicate that building in terms of facade, color and basic building shape. The
new building would replace existing parking that is on the property at this time for the adjacent
building. A concern Staff word have is that the applicant, at least by final design review, prove that
there will be adequate par king for both buildings.
Dave Peel, representing Andy Beck, stated that in 1985 and 86 Mr. Phillip Barshop developed the
project on Lot 33. Mr. Peel moved away from the microphone and his statement is not clear, but it
sounds like he stated that he also purchased lot 32. The original building is about 8,000 square feet,
with the required 13 parking spaces and two loading spaces. In 1987 Mr. Barshop had a tenant, Vail
Discount Tires and the additional parking lot of 37 spaces was developed. The building proposed now
matches the other one in detail is half the size of the other one. It is 4000 square feet. It requires 4
pasking spaces for its 2800 square feet of warehouse, 4 parking spaces for its 1200 square feet of
office, and 2 parking spaces for its 1200 square feet of storage which is above the office area, for a
total of 10 spaces required on this piece of property leaving the front of the property alone. They will
revise some parking spaces and will have 19 spaces on Lot 32 instead of the required 10 spaces.
There will be a reduction in asphalt, all the drainage will work the same. They will add one more trash
dumpster, which will match the existing one. They would like to relocate the existing trees that are
now pretty mature. Discussion followed on where these trees could be moved. Discussion followed
on the retainage wall at the back of the property.
The Commission felt that this was a good p. oject, but asked that Mr. Peel pass on to the owner that
the west wall of the existing building should be kept cleaner since this is a very visible corner.
Steve Amsbaugh stated that the applicant should also include the sign program for both buildings at
the time of final design review. The applicant stated that the sign program would be the same as the
program approved for the existing building. Discussion followed on the signs.
As a conceptual review, no formal action was taken at this time.

Rhoda Schneiderman moved to approve the minutes of the August 3, 1993 meeting.
Patti Dixon seconded and the motion carried unanimously.
Other Business
Jack Hunn stated that Lot 29, Block 1, Wildridge is a duplex that is nearing completion and from what
he has observed, the final grading does not match the approved plans. They have a lot of extra dirt
and he was concerned that it is causing problems on the adjacent properties.
Rhoda Schneiderman slated that there are several projects that have TCO's and have gone for over a
year without putting their drives and landscaping, etc., and these need to be checked ont.
Steve Amsbaugh stated he is working on some of these at this time and will be working on some
others in the near future.
John Perkins stated that he would like to discuss the site visits. He is concerned with the attendance at
the site visits and maybe they ought to be discontinued. The majority felt that they were important.
Chairman Perkins suggested the members make an effort to attend them.
Jack Hunn moved to adjourn, Patti Dixon seconded.
The meeting adjourned at 8:30 P.M.
