Q: How do I appeal a wheat ridge board of adjustments decision? I’m 73, retired teacher, and cannot afford a lawyer.
I have contacted wheat ridge city planners and district 3 representative and asked for copies of the minutes and a copy of the audio recording of the hearing. (Five emails and one in person meeting.) No one has responded to me. One of the board members was acquainted with the applicant . I believe I did not receive a fair evaluation of the situation. My neighbor’s request for a setback variance was approved. He gets to build an 87 foot structure within the setback that runs the entire length of my side fence line. Who do I contact to investigate the board meeting? Am I entitled to the minutes and audio recording of the hearing? Are there any lawyers that offer pro bono services or reduced rates for seniors?
