29 Applicant Bryan Clark presented a request to postpone
consideration of a Board Approval for "outside storage for
a sanitation/disposal business" and variance requests for a
100 percent reduction of the required 20 percent internal
landscape area, a complete reduction of the five-foot
landscape setback adjacent to Old Happy Jack Road and
a reduction of two internal trees in the District MUB Mixed
Use with Business Emphasis on Lots 24, 25, 26, and 27,
Nob Hill Subdivision, Laramie County, Wyoming (4216
Happy Jack Road) due to being in the process of selling
the property under a contract with the hospital. Mr. Clark
is in the process of acquiring a new property for his
business operation and asked the Board for six months to
complete the relocation. Lisa Pafford, City/County
Development Office, read through the following
conditions proposed by the Development Office: 1) The
outside storage area be defined and screened with a solid
material from the view of the street; 2) Provide
documentation verifying that structure, fencing, etc. are
placed outside of the right-of-way; 3) Provide additional traffic information requested by the County Engineer; 4)
Resolve access widths. The Board must find that the
applicant has met all the criteria of Section 74.020 (a-d)
and include a recommendation that a drainage study be
completed prior to a Certificate of Review being issued.
Chairman Ketcham asked if the applicant had complied
with any of the conditions of the Development Office. Mr.
Clark responded that he had not due to the pending sale
of the property and relocation of the business. Chairman
Ketcham asked County Attorney Mark Voss to address the
status of the conditions based on the applicant's contract
with the hospital. Mr. Voss stated that there are a number
of zoning violations on the property, which have been
held in abeyance pending action on the variance action.
At this point, the Board Approval may be moot as the
applicant has no further need of the variance and
recommended the request be dismissed. Commissioner
Knudson asked the applicant if the property is still being
used in the same manner as it was a few months ago.
The applicant stated it was still being used for his business
until he can find a new location. Chairman Ketcham
inquired as to the viability of entertaining a three-month
continuance. Mr. Voss indicated the Board could certainly
consider a continuance as it would not seem practical to
cite the violations at this time. Chairman Ketcham
opened the meeting as a PUBLIC HEARING. Hearing no
public comment, the Chairman closed the PUBLIC
HEARING. Commissioner Humphrey moved to postpone
consideration of the variance for a period of six months,
while the sale of the property is concluded. Commissioner
Knudson seconded the motion, which passed
unanimously. Documentation is filed in central files with
the County Clerk.

30 Applicant Arthur Clifton presented a Variance Request for
a 16-foot front yard setback variance to allow a 9-foot
setback to place a primary residential structure on Lot 6,
Pinkney Subdivision, Laramie County, Wyoming (a.k.a.
2416 Gordon Rd). Chairman Ketcham asked the
applicant to address the five criteria on which the variance
can be granted. Mr. Clifton stated he had received
information just prior to this meeting and would do his
best to address them; 1) to the North of the property is a
flood plain; 2) the surrounding five lots do not back up to
the flood plain and the homes on those lots are not as
long as the one on the lot in question; 3) a variance
would not affect any of the neighbors; 4) County Planner
Doug Moore responded for the applicant that the
applicant had not modified the lot in any way or taken any
action to create an unusable lot; however, that particular
lot requires a substantial set back due to the nature of the
corner of the road and a previous accident at that
location, as well as the location of a natural gas line
running under the home. Commissioner Knudson asked if
the mobile home could be located further to the west in
order to have a greater setback from the curve in the road.
Mr. Clifton stated that to locate the mobile home further
to the west would place it on top of the well. Lisa Pafford,
City/County Development Office, presented the staff
report and recommended the applicant demonstrate how
they meet the criteria in Section 74.045 for the variance.
Chairman Ketcham asked if the property was being
serviced by South Cheyenne Water and Sewer District.
The applicant stated the property received sewer service
from SCW&SD but not water. The well located on the
property provides water to all five of the lots.
Commissioner Humphrey stated she had received a visit
from a neighbor who expressed appreciation for the way
the applicant had cleaned up the property, and indicated
they had no opposition to the set back variance.
Chairman Ketcham asked the applicant about the
relocation of the gas line. Mr. Clifton stated he had been
in contact with a representative of Cheyenne Light Fuel
and Power, who said the line could be relocated. They
would retap it to the main and move it to the north, so it
would no longer be located under the mobile home.
County Planner Doug Moore indicated the applicant had
been in contact with representatives of his office prior to
locating the mobile home on the lot, and the applicant
was advised not to place the mobile home in the
proposed location and the applicant ignored the
information, resulting in citations being issued. Public Works Director Don Beard stated there have been a
number of reported accidents at that location and
probably more that have not been reported due to the
narrow rights of way resulting from unplanned platting
going back several decades. Mr. Clifton admitted he had
done everything wrong from the beginning, including not
getting permits to demolish an existing structure or to
place and skirt the mobile home, but he is now attempting
to do things correctly. Chairman Ketcham opened the
meeting as a PUBLIC HEARING. Hearing no public
comment, the Chairman closed the PUBLIC HEARING.
County Attorney Mark Voss addressed legal concerns
including Mr. Clifton's violation of several items in the
subdivision and zoning regulations, and stated the
applicant has not met his burden to provide sufficient
information to meet the criteria for a variance. If there is
evidence that relocation to the west would put the mobile
home on top of a well; if there is evidence that issues with
the Building Department have been resolved; if there is
evidence that satisfies the Board that Cheyenne Light
Fuel and Power will relocate the gas line, none of that has
been presented today for the Board to consider. In
addition, there have been violations concerning roll off
dumpsters and operation of a business from the location.
The applicant expressed concerns about locating a
driveway in order to meet the set back requirements.
Commissioner Knudson moved to deny the variance
request and grant the applicant 120 days to move the

(a.k.a 199 South Morrie Avenue). Mr. Steil indicated the
variance request was limited to the landscape
requirements and on April 10, 2007, the site plan was
submitted, which included information pertaining to the
criteria for the variance: 1) existing petroleum pipeline
facility; 2) these conditions do not exist in neighborhood
except Frontier Refining; 3) area is in the 100-year flood
plain; 4) unusual physical circumstances took place
before 1988; 5) would help the public health, safety and
welfare by reducing the possibility of fires and explosions
5-2) will not alter the character of the neighborhood as this
is an existing site; 5-3) existing site and 5-4) 100
percent of the reduction because this is an existing
pipeline facility, do not want flammable materials on the
site. The Fire Department responded with similar
comments and those comments are in the Board packet.
In lieu of the 100 percent variance, the applicant
purchased 133 trees and 36 shrubs, which have been
planted at the City/County Health Department. Lisa

of the Cheyenne Laramie County Zoning Ordinance are
met. County Planner Doug Moore stated he believed the

situated in a portion of the SW1/4 quarter of Section 4,
T.13N., R.66W., 6th P.M., Laramie County, Wyoming
(a.k.a. 1214 East Fox Farm Road). Mr. Steil addressed the
following: 1) formally a gravel pit which has partially
been filled with debris; 2) the site is only one in the
neighborhood with this condition; 3) because of the
concrete, it is virtually impossible to plant trees; 4) these
conditions are not the result of the applicant, they resulted
from actions of others prior to 1988; 5) will not alter the
neighborhood because this is an existing condition; 6)
trees on site will impair the communications satellite
reception. Currently there are seven satellite dishes on
site, and they are down in a hole to help block the wind;
trees could impair the reception of the satellites. Wes
Frost, Bresnan Communication, clarified the landscape
variance request for Commissioner Knudson, which is to
not plant any trees on the site, but to donate 1/2 of the
required trees to the County for planting at a location of
the County's choice. Lisa Pafford, City/County
Development, said the Board my grant a variance if the
Sections of 74.045 and 74.050 of the Cheyenne/Laramie
County Zoning Ordinance have been met. Doug Moore, Planning Director, said that trees can be planted in a area
like this; some trees should be planted on the site to help
with screening. If they cannot meet the landscape
requirements, they may need to revise their plan.

comment on only the information presented by the
Planning Office. Bob McCue, Speight and McKee,

only zoomed in on the location of the other subdivisions
and proceeded to show the slide in full view which
included Rocking Star, which also fits within the criteria of
the Comprehensive Land Use Plan. W. Jackson Stewart,
representing True Ranches, stated the legal description of
Cowboy Ranch South was not accurate on information
