Board of Adjustment Meeting Minutes December 21, 2016 Page 2 of 6 DeJong reviews the procedures for the meeting; opens the public hearing; and states there are six criteria which must be met for the board to approve a variance request. DeJong states that for the variance to be approved, four (4) of the five (5) votes would need to be affirmative. DeJong then states that copies of the criteria are located on the table next to the entryway. He asks for verification of the completion of the application. Ritchie confirms that the application requirements have been satisfied. Levinson makes a motion that all requirements have been satisfied and the application submitted by the applicants has been properly filed. Stuart seconds. Motion passes by unanimous voice vote. DeJong asks if anyone at the hearing has any objections to the hearing procedures he described and asks if there were any other preliminary matters that needed to be taken care of. None are heard. Conflict of Interest and Disclosure: DeJong then asks for conflicts of interest from the board members. All board members indicate they do not have any disclosures for the application. DeJong asks the applicants if they are ready to proceed with the hearing. Bradley Latham, representing Mackenzie Latham, indicates that he is ready to proceed. DeJong asks for confirmation of public notice. Ritchie states that public notice was posted on June 29 2018 and in the Boulder Daily Camera on July 1, 2018. Staff Report of Facts and Issues: Ritchie reviews the location of the property, which is in Coal Creek Neighborhood in a RE zone district. The proposal is to replace a deck that is failing structurally with a slighter larger deck. Since the applicant is requiring a slightly larger deck and not replacing like -for -like, they require a variance. She also presents the plans for the new deck and points out the email of support from a neighbor included in the staff packet. Staff Recommendations: Staff recommends approval of the request. Board Questions of Staff: Stuart asks why the application did not qualify for an administrative approval. Ritchie replies that administrative approvals were for like -for -like replacements.
