CITY COUNCIL MINUTES: April 26, 2010 Page -3-PUBLIC HEARINGS AND ORDINANCES ON SECOND READING 2. Resolution 19-2010 -approving a Special Use Permit to allow a Body Art Establishment
in a Restricted-Commercial (R-C) Zone District on property located at 4330 Harlan Street. Resolution 20-2010 -approving a Variance to allow the amount of total floor area devoted to
the residential use of the structure to exceed the amount of floor area devoted to the Commercial Use in a Restricted-Commercial (R-C) Zone District. (SUP-10-04 and WA-10-03/Fuks and
Harris) Mayor DiTullio opened the public hearing. Resolutions 19 and 20 were introduced by Council Member Sang. Mayor DiTullio called for a five minute break at 7:35pm due to technical
difficulties; to resume at 7:40pm. Adam Tietz presented the staff report. He entered a letter of protest into the record , which was submitted to the City of Wheat Ridge from a neighboring
business owner, McKinley & Hill, signed by Harold K. (Buddy) Hill (amended to this packet). Marc Hansen, 4340 Harlan Street, employed by McKinley & Hill, spoke for Mr. Hill. He is against
the approval of this special use permit. He argues that his business of 50 years, which sits next door to the proposed body art studio, would be detrimentally affected by this type of
business. He requests that if the C9uncil does approve this request, that they consider to limit the allowed signage language at the site in order to minimize the stigma that may be
inflicted to the neighboring businesses. Les Jorgensen, 4335 Gray Street, owns a property to the northeast of the proposed property, which is now rented by a daycare center. He is concerned
that this type of business is not appropriate in a residential area or in the vicinity of a daycare. Sharon Galloway, 43rd and Gray, is concerned with the signage of a flashing neon
sign indicating tattoos, but would be amenable to body art signage. Applicants 80 Fuks and Hillary Harris of Lakewood, explained that this will not be a tattoo "parlor", but a private
studio. Mr. Fuks related his professional experience in body art. He is willing to have his sign read "body art" and not "tattoo". He is willing to close at 8pm to appease the neighbors.
Ms. Ajarris pointed out that evening hours are often the only time clients can get body art service after work. He will operate only one of three pneumatic tattoo equipments in the State
of Colorado, which is the only type of tattoo equipment that is sterilized in a standard autoclave.
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES: April 26, 2010 Page -4-Mr. Dahl indicated tattoo and psychic reading businesses require special use permitting in order to afford a process for neighbors to such
businesses have a forum to voice concerns or support for such businesses. Don Feltner is the seller of the property and indicated the property has been vacant for over two years and
has been rapidly going downhill. Mayor DiTullio closed the public hearing. Special Use Permit Motion by Mrs. Sang to adopt Council Resolution No.19-2010, Case No. SUP-10-04, a request

not otherwise happen if the variance is denied. 6. The variance will result in the accommodations for person with disabilities to be made. With the following conditions: 1. The area
floor dedicated to the residence may not be increased either through the conversion of the studio to "livable space" or through the construction of additions to the structure that would

be e-mail, but he would like to repeat this for the public. Fund Balance for 2009 was about $2.6 million larger than expected. This was mainly accomplished by cut-backs on expenditures.
2009 expenditures were about $740,000 less than we estimated and the revenues came in at about 1.9 Million more than expected. Most of the variances and revenues were because of the
services provided for building permits and building use tax and plan review fees for work related to the July 20 storm. ELECTED OFFICIALS' MATTERS Mr. Reinhart addressed forming a council
committee to exercise a study on the effectiveness on staffing and the pay scales on persons within the administration. He would like 2 volunteers to join him in this exercise. Ms. BerN
and Mrs. Sang agreed to be part of the committee. Mr. DeMott expressed his condolences on the passing of Tom Douglas. Meeting adjourned at 8:42p.m. Michael Snow, City Clerk APPROVED

NO City Man.£er The Baugh House, located at 11361 West 44th Avenue, was purchased in 1997 for the purpose of restoring the existing 1860's log cabin located in the interior of the house,
as well as the interior and exterior restoration of the Victorian era house itself. The funding for this phase of the project is provided by a grant from the Colorado State Historical
Fund and matching funds from the City of Wheat Ridge General Fund and Open Space Fund. This grant is the fifth grant to date on the project. Completion of this fifth and fmal phase will
allow the City and Wheat Ridge Historical Society to apply for designation for this property on on the National Register of Historic Places. The City currently has two other locations
listed on the National Register; the Wheat Ridge Sod House and the Richards-Hart Estate. The Baugh House Restoration project is currently under construction. Contracts were awarded for
the interior restoration and electrical scope of work in October of 2009. This contract award is for the installation of the mechanical scope of work. Contractors were prequalified and
attended a scheduled walk through. Two quotes were received. Staff recommends award to Complete Climate Control based on qualifications and pricing. V:IFormslCAFtemplate
Council Action Form May 10,2010 Page 2 PRIOR ACTION: City Council has approved submitting an application for four of the five grants. City staff has administered three of the four prior
grant awards. The city is currently administering the fifth and final grant to complete the restoration of the house. The application for this grant was submitted to the State Historical
Fund in the spring of 2008. Notification of award was received in the fall of 2008, and the City received the contract to proceed with the grant in the summer of2009. City Council approved

ISSUE: The annual renewal of licensing and support of the existing MobileCop Computer System is necessary to maintain the software and officer productivity tools in the field for the
Police Department. The annual renew of licensing and support will cost $24,174 which has been approved in the 2010 IT Budget. PRIOR ACTION: The contract was previously approved by Council
in 2009. FINANCIAL IMPACT: $24,174 is budgeted for 20 lOin the IT Budget. BACKGROUND: The proposed annual renewal of licensing and support of the existing MobileCop Computer System is
necessary to maintain the software for the police department and public safety. The annual renew of licensing and support will cost $24,174, of which the funds have been approved in
the 20 I 0 IT Budget. This package is all inclusive for licensing and all technical support services. It includes software upgrades and bug fixes and patches, plus technical support
to implement these software enhancements and fixes. V:IFormslCAFtemplate
Council Action Form May 10, 2009 Page 2 Currently, these software tools allow the officers to query background checks, DMV registration, Computer Aided Dispatch and other law enforcement
criminal databases (State NC1C) from their patrol vehicles. The continued renewal of the annual licensing and support contract is a strategic move to maintain and keep the MobileCop
software system up to date. This will be advantageous to the City's Information Technology Division allowing for support and maintenance to be proactive. RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends

5 OF THE CODE OF LAWS OF THE CITY OF WHEAT RIDGE CONCERNING THE BUILDING CODE, THE MECHANICAL CODE, THE PLUMBING CODE, THE ENERGY CONSERVATION CODE, THE RESIDENTIAL CODE, THE FIRE CODE,
THE FUEL GAS CODE AND PENAL TIES FOR VIOLATIONS OF THE SAME D PUBLIC HEARING D BIDS/MOTIONS D RESOLUTIONS D ORDINANCES FOR 1ST READING (April 12, 2010) [gJ ORDINANCES FOR 2ND READING
(May 10,2010) QUASI-JUDICIAL: DYES [gJ NO ISSUE: The proposed ordinance would adopt the 2006 versions of the International Building Code, the International Mechanical Code, the International
Plumbing Code, the International Energy Conservation Code, the International Residential Code, the International Fire Code and the International Fuel Gas Code, with administrative and
technical amendments to each of the codes. The ordinance also amends the current building permit fee schedule. PRIOR ACTION: The proposed amendments were reviewed at a City Council study
session on March I, 20 I O. The proposed amendments have also been reviewed by two citizen task forces. A City Manager appointed task force met 3 times in 2009 and made recommendations
on the 2006 codes to be adopted and in January of201O, a Mayor appointed task force convened to review the proposed 2006 codes and made recommendations to City Council that were reviewed
at the March I study session. Both task forces received consulting support from Steve Thomas with Colorado Code
Council Action Form May 10,2010 Page 2 Consulting (CCC), a recognized expert in the field of building codes and enforcement. The 2006 codes with amendments have also been presented to
the City's licensed building contractors and the City's appointed Building Code Board of Appeals. Based on City Council action at I Sl reading, the ordinances published for public hearing
have removed all references to "planning permits". Also, the International Residential Code has been amended to fi.llly exempt exterior cladding replacement from permitting requirements.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: The ordinance proposes to reduce the base building permit fee from $30.50 to $26.50 (13% reduction), which will have an estimated financial impact of the City of approximately
$75,000 annually. Previously in 2009, City Council approved an ordinance establishing reduced set fees for various small residential building permits, such as furnace and hot water heater
replacements. The current ordinance would also establish reduced set fees for window replacement permits. Based on City Council direction at the March I study session, we have adopted
a new fee schedule for different categories of floodplain permits, which is an administrative approval. BACKGROUND: The City is currently operating under the 2003 International Codes,
with local amendments. Nearly all communities on the Front Range have now adopted the 2006 International Codes. Over the course of the past 18 months, the City has been considering adoption
of the 2006 International Codes, with amendments as appropriate for the City of Wheat Ridge. Based on the Building Division Assessment that was developed with the help of CCC and a citizen
task force in 2009 and the Mayor's Task Force, which was convened in early 2010, we believe we have an ordinance that reflects the needs ofthe 'conununity. Amendments that are included
in the ordinance include the following. • Base fee has been reduced from $30.50 to $26.50 • New plumbing schedule establishing at what occupancy separate sex toilet facilities are required
• Exemption for residential exterior siding replacement • 2006 International Property Maintenance Code removed from ordinance • Ventilation Section from 2009 International Mechanical
Code inserted into 2006 Mechanical Code RECOMMENDATIONS: Adoption of the 2006 International Codes has had input from a number of valuable sources, including two citizen /contractor task
forces, the broader contractor community and City Council through study sessions. The proposed ordinance contains amendments that bave been tbe consensus recommendation of those citizens
and elected officials. Staff recommends adoption of Council Bill No. 04-2010 on 2nd reading after conducting a public hearing.
Council Action Fonn May 10, 20 10 Page 3 RECOMMENDED MOTION: "I move to approve Council Bill No. 04-2010, an ordinance repealing and reenacting certain sections of Chapter 5 of the Code

, WhCiety aof t RLd.ge ITEM No:3\ DATE: May 10,2010 REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION TITLE: COUNCIL BILL NO. 05-2010 AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CERTAIN SECTIONS OF CHAPTERS 5 AND 21 OF THE
CODE OF LAWS OF THE CITY OF WHEAT RIDGE CONCERNING THE LICENSING OF CONTRACTORS o PUBLIC HEARING o BIDSIMOTIONS o RESOLUTIONS QUASI-JUDICIAL: o ORDINANCES FOR 1ST READING (04/12/2010)
~ ORDINANCES FOR 2ND READING (0511 012010) DYES ~ NO eot Director ISSUE: The proposed ordinance amends the existing contractor license classes and clarifies the definition ofa contractor.
The scope of the Class 4 license is broadened to include all contractors not specifically included in classes 1-3 and 5-15. The class 5 Homeowner Building Contractor license is altered
to remove the currently prescribed fee and licensing requirement, and instead, establish a simplified registration process similar to the Class 10 Electrical Contractor license. The
Class JO Electrical Contractor license is update to coordinate with licensing legislation enacted at at the state level. Other amendments are included to clarify responsibility at the
departmental and divisional level for verification oflicense qualifications. PRIOR ACTION: This ordinance was also proposed in 2009 when adoption of the 2006 codes was initially being
considered. The proposed changes were reviewed during the building division assessment in 2009 and were not reviewed by the Mayor's Task Force in 2010. It was a recommendation of Colorado
Code Consultants to clarify contractor licensing and make the changes regarding homeowner licensing as is being proposed in this ordinance.
Council Action Form May 10,2010 Page 2 FINANCIAL IMP ACT: None. BACKGROUND: The current ordinance, as written, is ambiguous in its definition of contractor and scope of work requiring
licensing. Additionally, the current ordinance does not distinguish in its licensing requirements between homeowners and traditional contractors, requiring the same licensing procedures
for both and a fee for homeowner licensing. These requirements for homeowners are unnecessary and present an obstacle to the Building Division's ability to properly record and track
homeowner performed projects. The current ordinance also contains a specific list of projects eligible to be performed under a class 4 contractor license, creating ambiguity as to which
classification of license is required for contractors no performing the specified types of work that are listed. Finally, the current ordinance language pertaining to electrical contractors
does not align with State requirements for "registration" of electrical contractors in lieu of of "licensing". RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends that City Council conduct a public hearing
and adopt the proposed ordinance on 2nd reading. RECOMMENDED MOTION: "[ move to approve Council Bill No. 5-2010, an ordinance amending certain sections of Chapters 5 and 21 of the Code
of Laws concerning the licensing of contractors on second reading and that it take effect August 1,20 I 0." Or, "I move to table indefinitely Council Bill No. 5-2010 for the following

Director ISSUE: D ORDINANCES FOR I ST READING (04/26/2010) [g) ORDINANCES FOR 2ND READING (05/10/2010) DYES [g) NO A master plan for the park property located at 3Sth and Kipling was
completed and approved in 200S. The park master plan addressed the actual park design, as well as accommodated the parking lot deficiency of the Appleridge Cafe, located at the SE comer
of3Sth and Kipling. The park master plan included a pedestrian/bicycle trail along Kipling Street. However, there is insufficient Kipling right of way adjacent to the Appleridge Cafe
to extend the trail to 3Sth Avenue. Acquisition of property from the restaurant site would allow construction of the trail connection and provide continuity to 3Sth Avenue. The restaurant
site is not large enough to meet the restaurant's parking needs or provide convenient access to their trash dumpster. The City has accommodated this business need for many years through
a license agreement for use ofthe park property south of the restaurant site for trash truck access. Selling a portion of the park property to the restaurant owner, while buying a portion
of the restaurant site along Kipling, will provide a permanent solution
Council Action Form May 10,2010 Page 2 concerning the restaurant parking issue and will allow the City to construct the trail to 38th Avenue. PRIOR ACTION: City Council approved a resolution
to obtain an appraisal on the applicable portion of park property adjacent to the Appleridge Cafe on August 28, 2008. City Council approved the transfer of the reverter clause from this
park parcel to the Baugh House property on September 28,2009 as one of the required steps to allow for the future disposal of the park property. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The City will, in exchange
for the right of way, construct the new addition to the restaurant parking lot for an amount not to exceed $103,000. BACKGROUND: The City has presented a contract to the property owner
with the following components based on the appraised price: I) Owner purchase 11,431 square feet of park property for the purchase price of $110,197.60. 2) City will receive Kipling
Right of Way from the property owner in the amount of 4,572 sq uare feet. 3) The City will, in exchange for the right of way, construct the new addition to the restaurant parking lot
for an amount not to exceed $103,000. Per Gerald Dahl, City Attorney, the Meat Ridge Charter addresses the disposal of park land in Section 16.5. "The city shall not sell or dispose
of municipally owned buildings or real property for a public purpose, without first obtaining the approval, by ordinance, of three-fourths of the entire council. Unanimous approval of
the entire council, by ordinance, shall be necessary for sale or disposition of designated park land." The park master plan was designed to achieve a win-win situation with the existing
restaurant business located on the corner. The plan identifies the northeast comer of the parkland as an area for future development. The restaurant property owner at this time does
not wish to purchase the entire .85 acres. A lot will be platted for future sale when, and if, the restaurant property redevelops. This park parcel will remain vacant in the future to
allow for future development, sale and or lot consolidation with the restaurant property. RECOMMENDATIONS: Staffrecomrnends approval of Council Bill No. 07-2010

on behalf of the buying Party and delivered to the selling Party on or before ten (10) days following receipt by the buying Party of the Title Documents or

of the buying Party of any unsatisfactory condition shown by the Survey, notwithstanding subsection F. above, is received by the selling Party on or before ten (10) days following receipt
by the buying Party of the Survey, then such objection shall be deemed an unsatisfactory title condition. If the selling Party does not receive the buying Party's notice on or before
ten (10) days following receipt by the buying Party of the Survey, the buying Party accepts the Survey as satisfactory. I. On or before ten (10) days following commencement of the Purchase
Process, the selling Party agrees to deliver to the buying Party the most current version of the selling Party's Property Disclosure form completed to the best of the selling Party's
actual knowledge, current as of that date. J. On or before ten (10) days following commencement of the Purchase Process, the selling Party shall initiate at its cost a Phase I environmental

unsatisfactory physical condition which the buying Party requires the selling Party to correct (Notice to Correct). If written notice is not received by the selling
Party on or before ten (10) days following receipt by the buying Party of the Phase I environmental assessment of the Subject Property, the physical condition of the Subject Property
shall be deemed to be satisfactory to the buying Party. If a Notice to Correct is received by the selling Party and if both Parties have not agreed in writing to a settlement thereof
on or before ten (10) days following receipt by the selling Party of the buying Party's Notice to Correct, this Agreement shall terminate unless before such termination the selling Party
receives the buying Party's written withdrawal of Notice to Correct. This paragraph shall not apply to the City Parcel because a Phase I environmental assessment has been performed on
these properties and is currently available to all interested parties. K. Other than the environmental assessment required by subsection J above, the buying Party is responsible for

Property and inclusions as a result of such activities. The buying Party shall not permit claims or liens of any kind against the Subject Property for inspections, tests, surveys, engineering
reports or any other work performed on the Subject Property at the buying Party's request. Within the limitations imposed by the Colorado Constitution and Revised Statutes, the buying
Party agrees to indemnify, protect and hold the selling Party harmless from and against any liability, damage, cost or expenses incurred by the selling Party to enforce this subsection,
including the selling Party's reasonable attorney fees. The provisions of this subsection shall survive the termination of this Agreement. L. The buying Party's right to object shall
include those matters listed in subsections C, D, E, G, I and J. If the selling Party receives notice of un-merchantability of title or any other unsatisfactory title condition or commitment
terms as provided above, the selling Party shall use reasonable efforts to correct said items and bear any nominal expense to correct the same within ten (10) days of receiving notice
thereof. If such unsatisfactory title condition is not corrected to the buying Party's satisfaction or waived by the buying Party within said ten (10) period, this Agreement shall terminate
and the buying Party shall have no obligation to purchase the Subject Property nor shall the buying Party be compelled to purchase the same pursuant to Section VIA M. All amounts paid

, • _ City of ? Wheat RL-dge ITEM NO: 5, DATE: May 10,2010 REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION TITLE: RESOLUTION NO. 15-2010 -A RESOLUTION CONSIDERING A SPECIAL USE PERMIT TO ALLOW A MAJOR
AUTO REPAIR FACILITY IN A COMMERCIAL-ONE (C-l) ZONE DISTRICT. ~ PUBLIC HEARING D BTDSIMOTlONS ~ RESOLUTIONS QUASI-JUDICIAL: ISSUE: D ORDINANCES FOR I ST READING D ORDINANCES FOR 2ND
READING YES ~ NO The Property located at 4395 Xenon Street is currently vacant with no improvements. The applicant is proposing to build a one-story building, approximately 5,432 square
feet in size, to provide auto and diesel pick-up truck repair. The building will have nine service bays with overhead doors. One bay will serve as a State certified diesel emissions
testing facility for diesel engine pick-ups. In addition the structure will have areas for administrative offices, waiting room, reception and sales counter, restrooms, and storage.
The property in question is zoned Commercial-One (C-I), which allows a broad range of commercial uses, including restaurants, retail establishments and light automotive repair facilities
as permitted uses. Drive-thru facilities, motor fueling stations, and heavy automotive repair facilities are examples of uses that are only allowed through approval of a special use
permit (SUP). Special uses are discretionary uses which, if properly designed, developed, operated and maintained, should have little effect on the property or area of the request. The
primary purpose of the special use process is to ensure the impacts related to the design and operations, the street system, and public services and facilities have the ability to be
in compliance with the special use criteria. The criteria are designed to mitigate potential negative impacts associated with the use.
Council Action Fonn May 10, 2010 Page 2 PRIOR ACTION: There has been no prior action on this request. FINANCIAL IMPACT: Auto repair facilities generate limited sales tax for the City
of Wheat Ridge. The majority of the tax provided to the City comes from the vehicles parts that are purchased by the repair facility in order to repair vehicles. If items are on site,
such as tires, belts, oil, or other automotive products are available for purchase, sales tax will be applied to these items. In contrast, the labor provided at such facilities is a
service and therefore no sales tax is generated from the labor. If any supplementary items associated with the business such as t-shirts, hats, and other miscellaneous items are sold,
sales tax will be collected but the tax generated would be minimal. A one-time fee for the Special Use Permit request was also submitted with the application. BACKGROUND: The property
in question is 23,391 square feet, zoned C-1, and is currently vacant. The site sits at a highly visible location in the City of Wheat Ridge as it is located at the convergence of three
major roads that run through the City: Youngfield Street, Ward Road, and West 441h Avenue. Also in proximity is the Ward Road interchange with Interstate 70. The majority of the surrOlmding
property is already developed and used commercially. Despite the high volume of traffic that passes the property, there are constraints that have rendered the property both expensive
and difficult to develop. Under the current zoning, the uses allowed on the property potentially have the ability to be a high-traffic generating, high-intensity use. When the interstate
was constructed Y oungfield Street was realigned to shift to the east to where it now intersects with W 441h Ave. This action left the parcel in a trapezoidal shape which has created
problems for building orientation and placement. In addition to the irregular shape of the parcel, a large easement for the maintenance of the Bayou irrigation ditch crosses the propelty.
The easement leaves nearly the entire northwest quadrant of the parcel unusable as no structure is permitted to be constructed within the easement. The proposed structure and site improvements
have been designed around these constraints to make the site fully usable for the applicants while attempting to mitigate the impacts to the surrounding properties. The proposed auto
repair facility to be constructed on the site has been designed with significant interest and detail to meet the requirements set forth in the ASDM. Both the proposed structure and the
site improvements have been designed in order to create a high level of architectural interest. Generous landscaping and landscape walls have been incorporated to buffer and screen the
development from the areas to the south of the site. All setbacks have been met including a reduced front setback as required by "contemporary overlay area" in the ASDM. Parking will
be fully accommodated on site. The facility will utilize one of the bays for emissions testing for diesel diesel powered vehicles. The bay proposed to be used by the applicant for the
emissions testing will be on the southwest corner of the building as it is the furthest from the residential structures in the area. The remaining bays will be used for tune-ups, oil
changes, engine work, clutch work, and other auto
Council Action Form May 10,2010 Page 3 repair and maintenance operations. All work done on vehicles, including the emissions testing, will be done indoors with the overhead doors closed.
There will be no bodywork performed at the site and no semi-tractors will be serviced at this facility as regulated by the City Code of Laws. The proposed use is only allowed through
the Special Use Permit process in the C-I zone district. [fproperly designed, developed, operated and maintained, it should have little effect on the property or area of the request.
The special use process offers members of the public who may be affected to give input and voice concerns on the design, operations and maintenance of the proposed use througb neighborhood
meetings and during a 10-day public comment period. These periods are establisbed so the applicant can develop plans to mitigate and address any concerns that may be raised. If any concerns
are received in writing during the I O-day comment period the request for the special use must be heard before the City Council at a public hearing. During the 10-day public comment
period for the proposed auto repair facility, nine letters were received along with a petition signed by 48 people with concerns regarding the proposed use. The concerns received generally
pertained to increased traffic, building design, noise concerns, air quality concerns, site drainage and run-off, and underground water contanlination. The applicant bas taken several
steps to mitigate the new structure's impact on surrounding properties and to address the concerns of the surrounding property owners. Both the site and proposed structure have been
significantly redesigned from the original submittals to meet the requirements set forth in the Architectural and Site Design Manual (ASDM). The proposed structure has been reoriented
so the office, administrative areas, and waiting areas have been moved to face Xenon Street to provide' an area that is more compatible with the surrounding development. This area has
a lowered roof and eave line tbat appropriately minlics the roofs and eave lines of the existing structures in the area. In addition, here bas been a significant area of transparency
added to create interest. Other architectural elements have been included to further increase the architectural interest of the building. The materials include "green/living walls" (exterior
walls that bave plant materials growing on them), stucco and/or galvanized corrugated metal, and stone wainscoting, in addition to multiple materials being used on the building. Traffic
generated by the proposed use will have a minimal impact on Xenon Street as the proposed auto repair facility will generate an average of 12-15 vehicles per day based on traffic counts
generated by the applicant's current auto repair facility. Single family homes generate an average of 10 vehicle trips per day. In order to ensure that no undue traffic turns south onto
Xenon Street when exiting the facility, tbe applicant will instruct people to turn right when leaving the facility. The site plan also indicates that a "No Right Turn" sign will be installed
at the exit of the site. Water quality and detention facilities are incorporated on the site; both of which will be required to meet City of Wheat Ridge requirements. The parking area
will serve a dual purpose with porous paving to capture and filter any storm water tbat is generated from the development of the site. These facilities will be required to be constructed
in compliance with both City of Wheat
Council Action Form May 10, 2010 Page 4 Ridge and State of Colorado regulations. The installation of these facilities should improve the current conditions in the area in terms of run-off
and drainage. The Colorado Department of Public Health and the Environment (CDPHE) strictly regulates the operation of diesel emissions testing facilities to ensure they do not negatively
impact the air quality or contribute to air pollution. ALI air that is released from the facility is non-toxic and is deemed clean by the CDPHE. Regular inspections by the CDPHE ensure
that all equipment and air being released meets the standards of the CDPHE. All work done on vehicles, including the emissions testing, will be done indoors with the overhead doors closed
to prevent any noise pollution. Since all work will be confined to the interior of the structure, oil, soil, solvents and other materials will not have the ability to seep into ground
water, on-site or near-by drainage and detention facilities, or irrigation ditches. Materials or byproducts of the auto repair facility that gather on the interior floor will be cleaned
off the floors with non-toxic cleansers and enter an approved sand oil filter that will be routinely maintained by approved methods in conformance with the regulated treatment of waste
by the Fruitdale Sanitation District. RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff has acknowledged the neighborhood concerns and feels the applicant has sufficiently addressed the concerns in order to minimize
any impact on them. Through this review, staff has concluded that the proposed request for an auto repair facility complies with the Special Use criteria. A detailed analysis of the
Special Use criteria has been attached in the staff report and is recommending APPRO V AL of the Special Use with conditions. RECOMMENDED MOTION: "I move to approve Case No. SUP-l 0-04,
a request for a Special Use Permit to allow a major automotive repair facility located at 4395 Xenon Street for the following reasons: 1. This request for a Special Use meets all applicable
criteria as required by Section 26-114 of the City of Wheat Ridge Code of Laws. 2. There will be no detrimental effect on health, safety, welfare, or convenience to the public in the
area. 3. The applicant has made an attempt to mitigate all impacts and concerns addressed in the letters of objection, neighborhood comments, and from staff comments. 4. The special
use will not create adverse impacts greater than allowed under existing zoning for the property. 5. There will be no impact on the light, air, or water to adjacent property owners. 6.
The special use will not create or contribute to blight in the neighborhood and will not overburden the capacities of the existing streets, parks, schools, and other public facilities

All notification and posting requirements have been met; therefore, City Council has jurisdiction to hear this case. I. REQUEST Case No. SUP-IO-03 is an application by Brent Allred of
Allred and Associates and Richard Maher of Performance Wise Automotive requesting approval of a Special Use Permit to allow a major auto repair facility on land that is currently vacant
and zoned C-I . If the Special Use Permit is approved a new structure will be constructed on the site for the auto repair facility. Pursuant to Ordinance No. 1291, the Community Development
Director has the ability to decide upon applications for administrative special use approval, without a public hearing, provided the following conditions have been met: I. A completed
application package has been submitted and fee paid. 2. The Community Development Department has notified adjacent property owners by letter and the site has been posted for at least
ten (10) days. 3. No written objections have been received in such ten day period. 4. The Community Development Director concludes that the criteria for approval, as set forth below,
are substantially complied with and support the request. Should the Community Development Director find that any of the preceding conditions are not met; the request shall be forwarded
to City Council for their review and a decision on the request at a public hearing. The noticing for this special use has resulted in nine letters of objection and a signed petition
with 48 signatures from surrounding property owners who oppose the request (See Packet of "letters of objection "). Based on those objections the Community Development Director has scheduled
it to be heard at a City Council public hearing. City Council can impose conditions or stipulations upon the approval, which may include physical design, operational , and maintenance
considerations to, ensure compliance with the criteria for review. City Council shall also decide the following: I. Whether the SUP runs with the land in perpetuity 2. Whether the SUP
is personal to the applicant and mayor may not be inherited; and/or, 3. Whether the SUP is granted only for a defined period, after which time the special use shall expire unless renewed
subject to all of the requirements of this section. II. CASE ANALYSIS The property in question is very unique in terms of its shape, location, visibility and site constraints that encumber
the property which have made it difficult to develop over the years. The site is 23,391 square feet or .54 acres in size and sits at a highly visible spot in the City of Wheat Ridge
as it is located at the convergence of 3 major roads that run through the City, Youngfield Street, Ward Road, and West 44th Avenue. Further to the east is the location of the Ward Road
interchange with Interstate 70. In addition, the site is highly visible from the interstate as it curves to head in a southerly direction at the intersection ofW 44th Avenue and Youngfield
Street (Exhibit 1, Aerial Photograph). As a result of the convergence of these roads and interstate, interstate, much of the area is zoned and used commercially (Exhibit 2, Commercial
Properly Graphic). Specifically, the site is zoned C-I which allows for areas with a wide range of commercial land uses which include office, minor auto repair facilities, general business,
retail sales and service establishments. It also intends to provide services that are supported by the community and entire region. Case No. SUP-J 0-03/Maher 2
The lot has frontage along the west side of Xenon Street. Based on the irregular lot shape, it appears to have several frontages. It does appear that the lot has frontage along W. 44th
Ave; however, there is a small parcel of land directly north of the site that is CDOT owned right-of-way. Directly north of that CDOT owned parcel is W. 44th Ave. The lot does not have
frontage along Youngfield St. There is a vacant lot to the west that is privately owned, it is zoned Planned Commercial Development (PCD) and does have frontage along Youngfield St.
Directly west of Youngfield Street is Interstate 70. The property is currently vacant with no improvements (Exhibits 3-4, Site Photographs). There are constraints that have rendered
the property both expensive and difficult to develop. When the interstate was constructed, Youngfield Street was realigned to shift to the east to where it now intersects with W 44th
Ave. When property was acquired by CDOT for the construction of this intersection, excess right-of-way was acquired on the north side of the subject property. This action left the parcel
in a trapezoidal shape which has created problems for building orientation and placement.
In addition to the irregular shape of the parcel, a large easement for the maintenance of the Bayou irrigation ditch crosses the property (Exhibit 5, Properly Survey). The easement is
30 feet wide and enters the lot on the southwest side ofthe property. It crosses the lot in a diagonal manner to the northeast. The easement leaves nearly the entire northwest quadrant
of the parcel unusable as no structure is permitted to be constructed within the easement; however, areas for parking and landscaping are allowed to be located in the easement. The proposed
structure on the site has been designed around these constraints to make the site fully usable for the applicants while attempting to mitigate the impacts to the surrounding properties.
Architecture and Site Design The applicant is proposing to build a one-story building, approximately 5,432 5,432 square feet in size, to provide auto and diesel pick-up truck repair.
The building will be 22 feet in height at its peak. There are 9 drive-through bays proposed, as well as administrative offices, waiting room, reception and sales counter, restrooms,
and storage (Exhibit 6, Proposed Elevations). Both the proposed structure and the site improvements have been through several re-designs in order to mitigate the new structure's impact
on surrounding properties, in an effort to address the concerns of the surrounding property owners. Both the site and proposed structure have also been significantly redesigned from
original submittals to meet the requirements set forth in the Architectural and Site Design Manual (ASDM). The ASDM: requires careful and purposeful architectural considerations be taken
into account to ensure that any newly constructed structure will be of quality design and contain differing levels of architectural interest. The ASDM also regulates the front setback
of new structures that are are constructed in different "overlay areas" throughout the city in order to further enhance the quality and interest of the structures constructed in them.
Previous designs of the building included a largely metal structure with 4, 12-14 foot high overhead doors within 20 feet of Xenon St (east elevation). Five additional overhead doors
of the same height had been located on the west elevation with the administrative and waiting areas to face the vacant lot to the north (north elevation). The plan included 12 surface
parking spaces on the northern portion of the lot along with two curbcuts onto Xenon St; one curb cut was located on the southern portion of property to accommodate the overhead doors
that faced Xenon St. The second curb cut was located further to the north to provide access to the parking area for customer use as well the overhead doors on the west elevation. The
plan also provided areas for landscaping and a detention area. This design was generally not in compliance with the ASDM (Exhibits 7 and 8, Original Elevations and Site Plan). Through
the redesign process the structure and site have been reworked to be in compliance the ASDM. The proposed structure now consists of several building materials including "green/living
walls" (exterior walls that have plant materials growing on them), stucco and/or galvanized corrugated metal, and stone wainscoting. There has also been a significant area of transparency
added to the structure to meet the transparency requirements of the ASDM. In addition to multiple building materials being used the building has also been reoriented. As the structure
is now proposed, the office, administrative areas, and waiting areas have been Case No. SUP-l 0-03/Maher 3
moved to face Xenon St to provide an area that is more compatible with the surrounding development. This area has a lowered roof and eave line that more appropriately mimics the roofs
and eave lines of the existing structures in the area. The previously proposed overhead doors in this area were much larger in scale and were less compatible with the surrounding properties.
Now this area has a substantial amount of transparency to generate vi sual interest. Sidewalks will be constructed along this portion of the building as well as the entire length of
the property that will connect with the existing sidewalk at W. 441h Ave. Due to neighborhood concerns, site modifications have been proposed in order to diminish the impacts of the
proposed structure (Exhibit 9, Proposed Site Plan). The overhead doors have been shifted to the north and south elevations and no longer face Xenon St. This move has reduced the number
of curb cuts from 2 to I. The new curb cut is proposed to be located on the northern end of the lot and is now closer to W. 44'h Ave. Traffic coming out of the site will be directed
to not make a right turn onto Xenon St. by the applicant and a "No Right Turn" sign at the exit of the facility. The overhead doors on the southern elevation will be screened with a
6 foot high landscape wall with additional landscaping to provide an increased buffer. Generous landscaping has been provided throughout the site and along Xenon St to further mitigate
the visual impacts of the building. Signage By virtue of the City of Wheat Ridge sign code one sign is allowed per street frontage. Since this parcel only has frontage along Xenon St,
only one sign is allowed. The size of the sign is determined by the size of the building. Typically signs are not allowed to exceed 15 feet in height however; any parcel that is located
within one-quarter (1/4) of a mile of the interstate is allowed to erected a sign up to 50 feet high. Any sign that is taller then 15 feet high requires an increased setback of 30 feet
from the right-of-of-way. One sign is being proposed with the development of the property. The property is located within one-quarter (1 /4) mile of the interstate; therefore a 40 foot
sign is being requested. The proposed sign is approximately 50 square feet in size but based on the square footage of the building but a sign of up to 100 square feet is allowed. Lighting
The applicant is proposing to have minimal lighting on the sight. Site lighting must be in compliance with the City of Wheat Ridge lighting standards to ensure that all lighting is captured
on the site. In order to prevent light seepage off the site a lighting plan with photometric will be required to be provided at tbe time of building permit. The plan and photometric
must show tbe location of all exterior lighting, the height of all structures and the type of lighting element used. In order to be approved the photometric measurements must have "0
foot candles" at all property lines. Parking and Water Quality Parking and water quality features are incorporated in the site; both of which meet City of Wheat Ridge requirements. In
order to accommodate these facilities, the applicant is proposing to pipe and bury the irrigation ditch that runs along the west side of the property. The ditch company has approved
the plans to pipe and bury the ditch. Permeable paved parking is proposed to help obtain the required volumes for storm water run-off. Preliminary geotechnical and grading plans have
been submitted and reviewed by the Public Works Department to ensure all requirements pertaining to drainage and storm water run off can be met. The preliminary plans have indicated
that these proposed facilities are able to be accommodated on the site and will be in conformance with City of Wheat Ridge and State of Colorado regulations. The plans have also indicated
that the development and its facilities will not result in the rise or mounding of the groundwater. Detailed plans for these facilities will be required to be submitted and approved
when a building permit is applied for. During and after construction of these facilities routine inspections will be performed to ensure the facilities are constructed as proposed. If
constructed properly, the installation of these facilities should improve the current conditions in the area in terms of run-off and drainage. Case No. SUP-l 0-03/Maher 4
Use Major auto repair facilities are only allowed through the Special Use Permit process in the C-l zone district. Special uses are discretionary uses which, if properly designed, developed,
operated and maintained, should have little to no effect on the property or area of the request. The primary issues related to the impacts of Special Uses are those related to the design
and operations which may have potential detrimental impacts on surrounding land uses, the street system, or public services or facilities. The applicant is proposing to construct a new
auto repair facility for cars and diesel engine pick-ups. The majority of the work at the proposed facility would be classified as minor automotive work which is a permitted use in the
C-l zone district which requires no formal process to go through other than Site, Architectural and Building Permit review. However, a small fraction of the business done at the facility
is classified as major automotive work. City code defmes the two as the following: A lito service, repair and maintenance shops, major. Tire recapping, major mechanical repair shops,
body work and painting, engine repair, and transmission repair. This term does not include any such use primarily for service, repair or maintenance truck tractors or semi-trailers.
Allto service, repair and maintenance shops, minor. Auto detail shops, tune-up shops, upholstery shops, radiator repair shops, lubrications service, sound system shops, and alignment
services Based on information conveyed to staff, the applicant does provide services such as engine work, exhaust work, differential work, clutch work and emissions testing, all which
would fall under the "major auto repair facility" definition. The applicant will not service semi/tractor trailer trucks or do any body work. Other services offered by the applicant
will include tire rotations, oil changes, battery charging and changing, tune-ups, radiator flushes and other minor auto repairs and maintenance. If the proposed use for the facility
only provided provided minor auto repair and services, the use would be allowed and no plartning process would be required since it is allowed use. Similarly, other more intense uses
that would generate more traffic and noise than the proposed use are allowed on the property under the C-l 'zone district. !fa use is allowed it would only require building permits be
obtained prior to construction. Such uses include large retail establishments, banks, restaurants and bars, and offices. The facility will utilize one of the bays for emissions testing
for diesel powered vehicles. The bay proposed to be used by the applicant for the emissions testing will be on the southwest corner of the building as it is the furthest from the residential
structures in the area, therefore having the least amount of impact on them. [n order to provide diesel engine testing, the facility must be state certified and operate under the guidelines
set by the State of Colorado, Department of Public Health and the Environment (CDPHE). The CDPHE regulates these facilities to ensure that trucks with diesel engines are compliant with
State air quality standards. The CDPHE also strictly regulates the operation of diesel emissions testing facilities themselves and the equipment used for testing so that they do not
negatively impact the air quality or contribute to air pollution. As vehicles are tested, they are hooked up to equipment that captures the emissions being produced. After the emissions
have been tested they are put through a series of "scrubbers" and other air cleaning processes before being allowed to leave the facility and being released into the air. All air that
is released from the fac ility is non-toxic and is deemed clean. Regular inspections by the CDPHE ensure that all equipment and air being released meets the standards of the CDPHE. All
work done on vehicles, including the emissions testing, will be done indoors with the overhead doors closed to prevent any noise pollution. Since all work will be confined to the interior
of the structure, oil, soil, solvents and other materials will not have the ability to seep into ground water, on-site or near-by drainage and detention facilities, or irrigation ditches.
Materials or bypro ducts of the auto repair facility that gather on the interior floor Case No. SUP-IO-03fMaher 5
will be cleaned off the floors with non-toxic cleansers and enter an approved sand oil filter that will be routinely maintained by approved methods in conformance with regulated treatment
of waste water from an auto repair facility. Traffic generated by the proposal will have a minimal impact on Xenon Street as the proposed auto repair facility will generate an average
of 12-15 vehicles per day based on traffic counts generated by the applicant's current auto repair facility. Single family homes generate an average of 10 vehicle trips per day. Xenon
St. was constructed as a local street which has the ability to handle the increased traffic that will be generated by this use. In order to ensure that no undue traffic turns south onto
Xenon Street when exiting the facility, the applicant will install and a "No Right Turn" sign at the exit of the site. In addition, for the test drives of vehicles, employees will be
instructed to only head north on Xenon St. This will not add to the traffic on the Xenon to the south of the site. The majority of traffic using Xenon St would remain "as is" with the
traffic being generated from the other commercial and residential uses located further to the south of the site along Xenon. m. NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING Prior to submittal of an application
for a special use, the applicant is required to hold a neighborhood meeting in accordance with the requirements set in City Code, Section 26-1 09A. A meeting for neighborhood input was
held on February 16,2010 in accordance with Section 26-109A. Other than the staff and applicants, seven residents of the area were present. In addition to the neighborhood meeting, one
letter and one email were received in this time frame in regards to the proposed use. The individuals who expressed their concerns had similar concerns to those of the residents who
attended the neighborhood meeting. Their concerns generally included those related to the zoning, building construction, noise and air pollution, groundwater issues. IV. AGENCY REFERRAL
All affected affected service agencies were contacted regarding the ability to serve the property. Their specific referral responses follow: Public Works: Public Works has reviewed all
preliminary drainage plans and determined the drainage will be able to meet City of Wheat Ridge standards. The preliminary geotechnical reports have also been reviewed and have been
approved. Detailed plans will be required to be submitted at the time of building permit. The sidewalk along Xenon St will be required to be constructed to the City of Wheat Ridge standards.
Economic Development: The City of Wheat Ridge Economic Development office supports the approval of a Special Use Permit for the following reasons: • The proposed improvements to this
property will enhance the overall appearance of the area. The proposed project would meet the ASDM and dramatically enhance the current aesthetics of the property. • The improvements
will also allow for a higher quality use of the property, which could therefore create a net positive gain in sales tax revenue coming from this property. • This site is a particularly
challenging site, due to several ditches within the property. In the past, the only interest the City has seen for this site has been used car lots, a use that would not enhance the
look of the area and would not create a positive sales tax stream for the City. • The site is zoned for general commercial purposes, i.e. retail, office, etc. These uses would likely
Case No. SUP-I 0-03/Maher 6
have a much more significant traffic impact on the neighborhood than the proposed development. Wheat Ridge Police Department: No comments or objections. Renewal Wheat Ridge: The proposed
use is not in conformance with the West 44th Avenue and Ward Road Redevelopment Plan. The Land Use Concept Plan for this area recommends a Small Office/Business Center. Arvada Fire District:
Fire protection is able to be provided. The piping of the Bayou Ditch will need to be constructed in a manner to accommodate imposed loads of an 85,OOOlb fire apparatus. Fire lanes will
be required to be marked with "No Parking Fire Lane" signs. Additional information is required to determine the occupancy status of the auto repair facility. Valley Water District: Valley
Water has the ability to serve the property. Additional main lines, fire hydrants or fire sprinklers may be required. Xcel Energy: No comments or objections. All other agencies to which
the request was put referral either did not respond or have indicated they have no issues with the proposed use and that they have the ability to serve the property. V. SPECIAL USE PERMIT
CRITERIA Staff has the following criteria to evaluate special use permit requests and shall determine that the majority of the "criteria for review" listed in Section 26-114.0 of the
City Code have been met. Staff provides the following review and analysis of the special use criteria: 1. The special use will not have a detrimental effect upon the general health,
welfare, safety and convenience of persons residing or working in the neighborhood. I The proposed special use will not affect the health, welfare, safety, or convenience of any person
working or residing in the area. The property is currently vacant and a new commercial structure is proposed. The property is zoned C-l and is located in a highly traveled and commercialized
area of the City. The addition of a business that is fairly low in intensity will unlikely cause any detrimental effects on the surrounding neighborhood. In addition, the applicant has
taken measures beyond what is required to further lessen the impact of both the structure and the land use on the surrounding area. The City of Wheat Ridge and of the State of Colorado
will also be required to impose restrictions on the development of the site and the operations of the facility. These restrictions will be enforced to ensure that the health, safety,
welfare or convenience of the people will not be compromised. Prior to a Certificate of Occupancy being issued, the applicant will have to submit all State licenses, approvals, and inspections.
Staff finds this criterion has been met. 2. The special use will not create or contribute to blight in the neighborhood by virtue of physical or operational characteristics. The property
is currently vacant and has been for several years. The site in its current state contributes to blight in the neighborhood. The proposed use will result in the construction of a Case
No. SUP-J 0-03/Maher 7
new structure that is in compliance with the ASDM. In addition, the site will have extensive landscaping and will be improved significantly from its current state. Staff finds this criterion
has been met. 3. The special use will not create adverse impacts greater than allowed under existing zoning for the property. Staff has identified some potentially adverse impacts greater
than are allowed under existing zoning pertaining to noise. However, the applicant has identified ways to mitigate this issue through working with overhead doors closed at all times.
The property is also within 500 feet of the Interstate 70 which generates more noise than what could be heard coming from the proposed auto repair fac ility with the overhead doors closed.
Staff finds this criterion has been 4. The special use will not result in undue traffic congestion or traffic hazards, or unsafe parking, loading, service or internal traffic conflicts
to the detriment of persons whether on or off the site. The request will result in an increase in traffic in the area however the traffic generated by the proposed used will have a minimal
impact on Xenon Street. The traffic generated from the business will be slightly more then that of a single family home. Xenon Street was constructed as a local street and does have
the capacity to handle the minimal increase that will result from the property being developed. The use generates daily vehicle trips similar to a single family home. Other higher intensity
uses are allowed as a "use by right" in the Col zone district which would have a much greater impact on the traffic then the proposed use. As a "use by right" those higher intensity
uses would be allowed on the property with no public review. According to the site plan, the applicants indicated that they will install a "No Right Turn" sign at the exit of the facility
to discourage traffic from turning to head south onto Xenon Street. Additional measures will be taken further mitigate traffic turning south on Xenon as all employees of the facility
will be instructed to head north on Xenon when exiting the site when for the day and during vehicle test drives. All parking can be accommodated and will be contained on the site which
has been designed to allow for the full movement of vehicles on the site. Staff finds this criterion has been met. 5. The property is appropriately designed, including setbacks, heights,
parking, bulk, buffering, screening and landscaping, so as to be in harmony and compatible with the character of the surrounding areas and neighborhood, especially with adjacent properties.
Both the proposed structure to be constructed on the site and the site itself has been designed in order to mitigate the impact on and address the concerns of the surrounding properties.
It has also been designed to be in compliance with the ASDM. The proposed structure consists of several building materials include "green/living walls", stucco, galvanized corrugated
metal, stone wainscoting as well as a large portion of the building incorporating glass. All setbacks have been met including a reduced front setback as required by "contemporary overlay
area" in the ASDM. All other development standards have been met including parking, screening, signage and landscaping. Case No. SUP·J O·03/Maher 8
Staff finds this criterion has been met. 6. The special use will not over burden the capacities of the existing streets, utilities, parks, schools, and other public facilities and services.
Parks and schools will not be negatively impacted. Since the property is vacant and a new building is proposed, the site will have to be connected to municipal water and sewer. All utility
agencies have the ability to serve the property. The minimal increase in usage will not overburden the facilities and will not result in the loss of services to anyone. Any improvements
required by the utility companies must be completed during the building permit process. The existing network of streets has the ability to handle the capacity of the existing traffic
generated by the uses along W. 44th Avenue and along Xenon Street. Even with the small increase of traffic generated by this use, Xenon Street and the surrounding network of streets,
will have the ability to handle the traffic without overburdening the facilities. Staff fmds this criterion has been met. 7. There is a history of compliance by the applicant and/or
property owner with Code requirements and prior conditions, if any, regarding the subject property. The applicant and the property have no history of code vio lations. Staff finds this
criterion has been met. 8. The application is in substantial compliance with the applicable standards set forth in the Architectural alld Site Desigll Mal/ual. The proposed structure
is in coiupliance with the ASDM. It has been accomplished through the use of multiple building materials, varying wall plane changes, differing roof lines, and building setbacks. Staff
finds this criterion has been met. VI. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONSIFINDINGS OF FACT Having found the application for Case No. SUP-l 0-03/Maher a Special Use Permit to allow a major auto repair
facility on land that is currently vacant and zoned C-l located at 4395 Xenon Street, to be complete and in compliance with the majority of the applicable review criteria, staff recommends

LETTERS OF OBJECTION
April 6, 2010 4350 Xenon Street Wheat Ridge, Colorado Adam Tietz, Planner City of Wheat Ridge, Colorado 7500 W. 29th Avenue Wheat Ridge, Colorado Re: Special Use Permit Application for
a light truck repair center at 4395 Xenon St., Wheat Ridge, Colorado Dear Mr. Tietz, As a long time resident on Xenon Street, I have very sincere objections to this facility being granted
permission to encroach upon this neighborhood. There are at least five families still on Xenon SI. that have raised their families on this street and some of the younger ones have been
raised here. This is basically a residential area, the few businesses that have managed to get a stronghold in this area that do not live on the premises could care less for the residents,
their vehicles speed up and down our street with no regard to residents, children or animals. Xenon Street in a very narrow street, this street as well as all others that go south of
44'h Avenue are 'Lanes. There is barely enough room for two large vehicles to meet. There is is no longer an option make a left tum, west, on 44'h Avenue from Xenon Street, this will
add to southbound traffic on our street. In addition to children there are animals; we are very near the greenbelt so it is not unusual to see wild animals such asfoxes, raccoons and
sometimes deer crossing our street. One of my concerns is, if this business in allowed to become established here, is their sign. My information is that the sign is to be 5 by10 feet
and 40 feet high. The prospective owners think it is necessary that it is to be seen from 170. This means I will have a garish, lighted sign shining in my windows all night-where is
my right for privacy?! They were asked at the meeting about diesel pollution, the question was blown off with the explanation that it would be dispensed through vents in the roof-that
still sends the odor and pollution through the neighborhood. I Will there be enough parking for employees? Or are they expected to park in front on our properties? We have been hearing
for 20 years that Xenon will eventually be closed off and become a cui de sac, when asked about the impact of the commercial traffic imposed by this business; we were told that it would
not happen for another 20 years. If and/or when this happens, traffic will intenSify dramatically. I sincerely hope this business is not allowed to build on our street. Some of us love
this street and this neighborhood, the complexity is enormous and has been growing for many years. A person has to experience it to appreciate il. I ask, sincerely, that this permit
is denied. Let a small bit of the old Fruitdale community survive. Sincerely, 9'1--{, ~ ( /(y 'l~? ( Joy Leon Mengel Resident ancj owner of 4350 Xenon StreeWheat Ridge, Colorado
.-\pril 7, 20 I 0 To the Community Development DlreclO' City of Wbeat Ridge: We would like to let you know of a huge concern we have when we heard of plans for a Diesel Testing Station
on 441h Ave. at Xenon ST. There already is a lot of pollution from the truck stop, this would add much more noise and pollution. The new ramp for [70 was designed to help ease traffic
on 441h and Ward Rd . . The Testing Station would add more congestion from Ward Rd. west to Xenon. If the 44111 and Xenon intersection would be closed by COOT, the only access to the
facility would be from 42nd and Xenon through a residential neighborhood. Wouldn't that exceed the weight limits on that street'.' Besides the extra noise; added to the noise that we
already have from I70. the tall building, tall and lighted signs, light poles, and traffic, this would show poor planning and show insensitivity to the surrounding residential neighborhoods.
It also would decrease our property val ues. We strongly oppose this invasion to our neighborhood. Although it is zoned commercial. couldn't a much better and less invasive commercial
use be considered? ~incerely ~ . ,~ IJlt e';) /t71lCtc l ( \~~ daVid and Joan Arndalll
Date 4/6/20 I 0 We at D. Deorio & Sons memorials are concerned with the future project residing at tjs'l;;:kN':)N S,-. First of all, the noise pollution will cause possible stress on
our business. As a established monument company in Wheat Ridge for over fifty years; we deal with grieving families on a daily basis. In addition to the noise, the air pollution from
diesel testing is inevitable even with the operational procedures to improve it. Finally, the traffic concerns us as well as our neighbors especially with the possible future realignment
of 44th avenue. If this project goes through it would exhibit poor city planning. Thank you for listening to our issues regarding this project. ::::, ~/~-\ Charles Deorio tiuJUv ~ ..

Use Permit SUP-10-03 Dear Director: We are writing to express our concerns regarding the request for a SUP by Mr. Brent Allred with regard to Performance Wise, Inc. Our neighbors, Scoll
and Donna Mefford have done extensive research into the possible detrimental effects caused by building a large vehicle repair shop in our neighhorhood. We share their concerns. We also
worry about the negative impact this business can have on traffic, pollution and water drainage. We are especially concerned with water contanlinants because we are planning a community
garden on our property which will be using our water rights for the irrigation ditch that runs along our property. As new parents we are also very concerned about increased traffic on
our lillie street, particularly large vehicle traffic. We moved to Wheat Ridge to run our own home based business and raise a family and we feel that the proposed use for 4395 Xenon
is too large for our neighborhood. Sincerely, P tlJ!!fT"ill a;;;#~ Michael Tilly ~

April 6, 20 I 0 Ms. Sarah Showalter Planner II City of Wheat Ridge 7500 West 29'h Place Wheat Ridge, Colorado 80033-800 I Dear Ms. Showalter: Donna C. Mefford 4380 Xenon Street Wheat
Ridge, Colorado 80033 We own the home at 4380 Xenon Street, immediately east of the vacant property at 4395 Xenon St. We have been watching for posting of the properly at 4395 Xenon
St, as we understand the owners are applying for a special use permit for the in stallation of an automotive repair facility. This was discussed in the public meeting held on February
16, 20 10 at the City offices. We first noticed the posting on Friday, April 2. We had been watching for the posting as we understand the response time is short. [t is our belief that
the posting didn ' t occur until April 2, leaving very little time before the posted date of April 8 to respond . , We did not receive the formal notice of the posting, even though we
are immediate ly east of the proposed facility. Apparently the notice was sent to some prior owners. We learned from our neighbors that they received letters noti fy ing them of the
Special Use Permit over the last few days. We contacted the City, and were provided a copy of the notice on April 5. That notice indicates comments are due by April 7, rather than the
April 8 date on the posting, so I am not sure what the actual deadline is. In any event, it was our belief that there was supposed to be a 10 day period for responding. Many of our neighbors
had not seen the sign, and were not aware of the timing until they recently recei ved their letters. Others were apparently out of contact over the spring break holidays. We have serious
concerns with the proposed Special Use Permit, and are doing our best to respond within the short time left respond. Thanks You: -:22 Donna C. Mefford
April 7, 2009 Community Development Director City of Wheat Ridge 7500 West 29'" Ave. Wheat Ridge, Colorado 80033 RE: Special Use Permit SUP-I 0-03 Director: Scott and Donna Mefford 4380
Xenon Street Wheat Rjdge, Colorado 80033 We understand the propelty located at 4395 Xenon St. has submitted a request fo r a Spec ial Use Permit to allow construction and operation of
a " light automotive repair shop" on th is site. We furth er understand that the special use permit for tillS facility is required under Section 26-114 of the City Code. A public meeting
was held on tilis matter on February 16, where considerable information on the proposal was made available to those attending. We appreciate the City's efforts to make that meeting informative.
On April S, we were provided with plans for the facility which had been somewhat revi sed from the versions available at the meeting of February 16. The new plans are dated March 23,
2010. These plans offer some benefits over those previously presented, especially in regard to building ori entation, but the most prolifjc concerns remain. [n this letter, we are referencing
the updated plans of March 23 . We appreciate thi s opportunity to comment on the proposed permit. As such, we request your consideration of the following concerns: 1. Property Intended
Use The request [or the SUP was submitted by Mr. Brent Allred, the architect for the proposed new owner, Performance Wise. [nc.. It is our understanding Performance Wise, Inc. or it's
principals have an option on the property at 4380 XenoL1. The first paragraph of Mr. Allred's letter indicates the SUP is [or a " light automoti ve repair shop". At the meeting of February
16, we learned that thi s was in fa ct a 9-bay diesel truck repair facility rather than what most would envision as a " light auto repair shop". This would include di esel pickups, commercial
vehi cles, recreational vehicles and other diesel vehicles short of I O-wheel diesel cabs. I th ink the application is, in this regard, somewhat misleading to those who who did not attend
the meeting, or have only read the Allred letter. 2. Community Compatibility The Xenon Street neighborhood is one of the older neighborhoods in Wheat Ridge. The proposed Performance
Wise facility is quite large, the building itself being over 5400 square feet on one level. This is located on a lot that is barely Y, acre (0.53 acres), and is partly constrained by
a 30 foot wide irrigation ditch easement running diagonally across the tract. The building is an industrial ty pe steel building with some rock facade. It stand s 2 1 feet high at the
roof crest, generally higher than other residential or commercial structures in the vicinity. With the exception of a very small perimeter of landscaping, nearly the entire tract is
covered by either building or pavement. The building will house a 9 bay maintenance facility, and will have a 40 foot high electric sign designed to draw clientele off of 1-70. To put
this in visual perspective, the facili ty is not greatl y smaller than the S-bay front 10 the maintenance facility at Campers World on Youngfield. If the building was accessed from the
commercia l thoroughfare of44'" Ave, it would seeml110re reaso nabl e. However, a building of this scale is simply out of place frontin g onto a small street in a residential neighborhood.
It is not compatible with the neighborhood, and would seem to exempli fy poor municipal plaJming if it were to proceed. 3. Traffic Concerns One of the greatest concerns expressed at
the public meeting was in regard to traffi c. Xenon is not designed for heavy traffic loads, and the prohibition of left turns onto 44'" Ave. from northbound Xenon creates further problems.
The 44'h Ave. and Xenon intersection is not signaled, and added traffic turning onto Xenon from 44'" westbound will disrupt the eastbound traffic flow on 44'h Of more concern, we aJlticipate
a significant increase in traffic flow through the residenti al neighborhood on Xenon as anyone wanting to access Youngfield must drive south on Xenon from the facility to 42'd and then
to west west to Youngfield. The left turn restri ction at Xenon and 44'" prevents any other means of accessing Youngfield. It is unclear how many employees this facility may have, but
it certainly will require a significant number to work a 9-bay facility along with appropriate administrative staff. These people will all access the facility off Xenon. Additionally,
all cli ents of the facility wi ll need to access off Xenon, aJld all test driving of vehicles will also use Xenon in one direction or another. Despite good intentions, there is no reasonable
means of controlling traffic patterns, or governing, or restricting traffic on Xenon. 4. Building Setbacks The proposed building so tightly fits the lot (hat setbacks are nearly non-existent.
On the Xenon Street side, (he setback is onl y 5 feet frol11 the property line. The structure walls are just 5 feet frol11 the edge of the property. While we assume this must be allowable
under the City zoning, this provides little buffer with the res idcntialneighborhood and it's difficult to see how this minimal setback qualifies as good planning. -2-
5. Drainage and Water Quality As discussed above, nearl y all of the property is covered by the bui Iding roof, asphalt paving, or concrete. With so much hard surface, storm water drainage
is very difficult to achieve in a area where no municipal storm sewers exist. We have not seen a drainage plan for the site, but from the di scussion at the public meeting it appears
they intend to control water onsite through the use of a permcable concrete in a portion of the parking lot, and with the ass istance of a seepage pit in the northeast comer of the site.
Both of these solutions pose unique problems in this area. Ground water in this area has not yet been spec ifically class ified by the Colorado Water Quality Control Commission, and
as such is deemed to be classified to meet the most stringent of the domestic and iLTigation standards. Details of the water classification program, and table standards for protection
of ground water may be found in 5 CCR 1002-41 , THE BASIC STANDARDS FOR GROUND WATER. Many individual well s still remain in Wheat Rjdge. One lies on our property, just across the street.
Though we do not use this water for domestic purposes, it is used for irrigation and water quality is important. Generally, the direction of the ground water gradient in this arca, and
consequently the direction of flow, will be to the south east toward the river. Any contamination will also flow in this direction across Xenon, and toward properties to the south east.
Sa. Permeable Pavements Permeable pavements have gaincd some popularity in recent years for reducing runoff from paved surfaces. Such pavements can work quite well if bui It in suitab
le areas, if traffic is properly restricted, and if the facility is maintained correctly. However, the proposed facility at 4395 Xenon is far less than the ideal lotation for utilization
of such pavement. The ground water is shallow here, and seaso nally, the ground water becomes very shallow as ditch seepage raises the water table. One key authority explaining the proper
and improper uses of permeable pavements is the EPA document titled "EPA -Storm Water Fact Sheet -Penneable Pavement" which may be found at: http://www.cleanwatermn.org/Documents/MS4%20toolkit%20file
s/Good%20Housekeeping/Por ous%20Pavementlporouspa.pdf The EPA Paper concludes some of the problcms wi th porous pavements include: • Many pavement engineers and contractors lack expertise
with this technology. • Porous pavement has a tendency to becollle clogged ifimproperly installed or maintained. • Porolls pavement has a high rate offailure. -3-
• There is some risk of contaminating groundwater. depending on soil conditions and aquifer susceptibility. • Fuel may leak Fom vehicles and toxic chemicals may leach Fom asphalt and/or
binder sUI/ace. Porous pavement systems are not designed to treat these poilutants. The document spec ifically states "Pollutants that are not easily trapped. adsorbed. or reduced. such
as nitrates and chlorides. may continue to move through the soil profile and into the groundwater. possibly contaminating drinking waler supplies." The mag chloride now frequently used
on streets, highways, and parking lots is such a contaminant. The EPA document recommends to: * avoid use of permeable pavements in "moderate to high traffic areas and Significant truck
traffic. * Avoid sno\ll removal operations; post with signs to restrict the use of sand. salt. and other deicing chemicals typically associated \Vith snow cleaning activities. Finally,
the EPA document describes in some detail the considerable maintenance necessary to keep permeable pavements operational. It is unclear how the City could require or monitor proper maintenance
of this pavement, even if geo logic conditions were suitable. Sb. Seepage Pits Seepage pits, or percolation ponds are notorious for their ineffi ciency. They require a lot of maintenance
to keep n.mctional, incl uding routine removal of sediment, and prevention of the bui ldup ofa bi ofilm that reduces the penneability of the seepage bed. Grass lined retentionseepage
pits are no different, especially small ones with insufficient seepage surface to di ss ipate water at a sustained and effective rate. r [fthe pond does function correctly, in a shallow
water table area as we have here the pond simply functions as a conduit for the rapid infiltration of contaminants into the ground water. Runoff from parking areas contain a variety
of petroleum products, polycycl ic aromatic hydrocarbons, heavy metals, and de-icing products which can get into the ground water and local wells through this conduit. Besides the potential
contamination issues, locating the retention/seepage pond inunediately adjacent to the irrigation ditch makes little engineering sense. The ditch will leak, and the water table will
mound under the ditch as a result. This will reduce the efficiency of the seepage pit, or eliminate it's functionality altogether, as the bottom elevation of the pit is barely above
the elevation of the adjacent ditch. 5c. Stonn water so lutions Without access to appropriately sized municipal storm water facilities, dissipation of storm waters on the proposed s
ite wi ll be diffi cult at best, and iffuncti onal , wil l simply tran sfer -4-
contamination into the underlying shallow water table. Without access to storm drai ns, this site would be much better served with some sort of facili ty with larger unpaved areas, increased
natural percolation capacity, and decreased pavement and pollutant sources. Again, the proposed fac ili ty is simply too large for the allotted space. 6. Hazardous Materials Plans A
garage fac ility of this size will handl e signifi cant amounts of solvents, oil s and grease, detergents, and various other hazardous materials. Clearl y, these materi als need to be
protected from spillage, and the sewer system needs to be protected so such materials don ' t end up in the residential sewer collection system. We have not seen any such plans ancJ!or
facilities for assuring hazardous materi als on the site are properly handled and disposed of. 7. Parking The site has 15 parking spaces. As indicated above, it is unclear how many employees,
and cli ents may be us ing the facility at anyone time, however with 9 maintenance bays and associated administrative offices, it would seem there could be qui te a few. Will parking
fo r the fac ili ty be allowed on Xenon andlor in fro nt of residences on that street? 8. Air Quality With 9 operating bays, and at least one emiss ion testing bay, it would seem that
this facili ty and the associated traffic co uld contribute considerab le CO, C02, parti cul ates, and other co ntaminants to the air in this residential neighbo rhood. It is unclear
how thi s will be controll ed, or if any attempt has been made to do so. 9. Noise Section 16-1 03 of the City Code indi cates: /1 is unlawfulfor any person 10 make, continue or cause
to be made or to permit or assist another 10 make, continue or cause to be made, any unreasonable noise which, under all of the circumstances presented, would annoy, inj ure or endanger
the comfo rl, rep ose or p eace of a person of ordinary sensitivities. Thefollowing noises and circumstances shall be deemed as primafacie unreasonable: (/)
Any noise or sound which is audible audible twenty;(ive (25) or more fee t ji-om a mobile noise or sound source . This would seem a reasonable standard in a residenti al neighborhood
such as Xenon. I assume Performance Wi se, Inc. will be required to meet thi s standard on Xenon, and any additi onal stand ards for fi xed source noise, though high performance engine
testing doesn' t necessarily sound Hqui et". -5-
10. Lighting and Signage Performance Wise, Inc. plans parki ng lot lighting and the construction of a large electric sign designed to be visibl e from the freeway. The lighting will
be on 12 foo t poles, and it is unclear if it will operate all night. We understand the light ing will be designed to point downward, but it would appear such li ghts will still light
up the area close by well beyond current conditions. Additionally, a 40 foot high electrical sign 5 feet by 10 feet in dimension is also planned to draw customers from the freeway. Thi
s seems a little out of line in a residential area. I'm not sure we really want to be attracting traffic offl-70 onto Xenon. There are many places along the 44'" avenue co rridor that
such facilities would be perfectl y suitable, but such facilities should be maintained in that corridor and not allowed to oveltake the res identi al neighborhood . II. CDOT Plans It
appears CDOT has purchased additional Rights of Way along the north side of 4395 Xenon for some purpose. purpose. At the public meeting it was indicated that this was des igned so Xenon
could be terminated in a cul-de-sac before entering 44'" Ave, and the problemati c curve on Youngfi eld co uld be smoothed out. While the timing of this is unceltain, and could be some
years off, it still seems unreasonable to put a large commercial facility at a location that current planning suggests could be cut off from the 44'" Ave co rridor. [n this event, all
commercial traffic access ing the di esclmaintenance fac ility would be forced into the Xenon neighborhood. 12. Property Values , Although I have owned ] different homes in Wheat Ridge,
and lived in either Wheat Ridge or Golden nearl y all my life, I have just recently purchased the home on Xenon. The development of the lot across the street at 4395 Xenon just came
to light about 2 weeks after my wife and I purchased tile home. Nowhere in our diligence work did we find mention of this proposal, though we talked with the City, various real estate
people, the property property owners, and the County assessor. I can only assume this canle up after our purchase date as the Allred letter was not dated. I have had a number of di scussions
with real estate brokers concerning the purchase, and whether or not the residenti al property will maintain it's value in the shadow of a large scale garage such as is proposed here.
Contrary to the opinions in the Allred letter, the general consensus is the residenti al properties near and immedi ately adj acent to the site wi ll experience some devaluation. In
fact, it seems our ability to resell the property currently for the amount we paid just weeks ago is questionable given the current knowledge of the proposed diesel maintenance [acility.
-6-
13. More Objectionable Development At the public meeting we were warned by the applicants that under the commercial zoning we could end up with a worse al ternative. However, I don't
find this reasoning parti cul arly persuasive. Just because things could possibly be worse, doesn't mean we need to accede to a bad option. There are many options for commercial development
of the site that could enhance the Xenon neighborhood rather than cause it to deteriorate. We are not opposed to Performance Wise, Inc. developing a new facility in Wheat Ridge, and
we would hope they do. However, we would also hope they co uld find a more compatible commerc ial site, with less residential impacts, easier access, and more reasonable drainage options.
14. Zoning History We have had litt le time to thoroughly examine the zoning history of the site. However, from the work we have completed. it seems the C-I zoning attri buted to the
site was assigned prior to CDOT acquiring rights of way across the northern portion of the ori ginal lot. The original zoning assumed a commercial facility with direct access to the
44'h Ave business corridor, not access off of Xenon in a res identi al area. However, when CDOT took out ROW's on the north s ide of the property, this precluded development of the site
as originally designed. We were left with a C-I zoned res idual which cannot be developed per the original intent of the zoning. We are uncertain of the exact hi story here, maybe the
City can shed some additional light on this matter. 15. Comparable Facilities There do not appear to be a great number of large maintenance facilities which are not associated with some
dealership . The most comparable facilities with mUltiple working bays, similar traffic, and similar parking features seem to be autobody repair firm s. Two such firms, Hanks Autobody
and Abra Autobody are located on the north [-70 service road in Wheat Ridge. Both of these firms are located in plD zoning (Planned Industrial Development) . It seems more logical for
such finns to to be located in light industrial zones rather than attempting to adapt a commercial zoning with a Special Use Permit to try and make it fit in a residential area. 16.
Summa'1' We understand the Ci ty reviews Special Use Permits based on specifi c criteri a. The City documentation in this regard indicates: ·7·
Before a special use permit is approved, the applicant will demonstrate that the following criteria have been met (only the applicable criteria have been listed) .-1. Will not have a
detrimental effect upon the general health, welfare, safety and convenience of persons residing or working in the neighborhood 2. Will not create adverse impacts greater than allowed
IInder exislingfor Ihe zoning for the property. 3. Will not result in undue IrajJic congestion or trajJic hazards, or unsafe parking, loading, service of inlemaltrajJic conflicts to
the detriment of persons whether on or of/the site. 4. Is appropriately designed, including setbacks, heights, parking. bulk, buffering, screening and landscaping, so as to be in harmony
and compafible with the characler of the surrounding areas alld neighborhood, especially wifh adjacent properties. 5. Will nOf overburden the capacities o.fthe existing streefs, utilities,
parks, schools and other public facilities and services. We do not believe that the applicant has demonstrated compliance with the above criteria to the degree necessary to protect this
nOl1h Wheat Ridge neighborhood. cott and Donna Mefford -8-
Ms. Sarah Showalter Planner Il City of Wheat Ridge 7500 West 29th Place Wheat Ridge, CO 80033-8001 Dear Ms. Showalter, April 6, 20 I 0 Our names are Ray and Mary Strohmeyer. We own the
property at 4320 Xenon St. This letter is to notifY you of our objection to the Special Use Permit at 4395 Xenon St. This street is a quiet street and the width is not two lanes. We
do not want the increased traffic. You cannot turn left onto 44th from Xenon St., so the traffic would be routed south to 42nd Street and then west to Youngfield St. This would be a
hazard give the street size. There is no traffic light on Youngfield, so access would be a problem. We do not want the additional noise. This was a farming conununity long before il
was zoned for anything else. We are a small community with residential housing and we want to keep it that way. We love our families and our children and do nol want the increased danger
to them. We do not want the additional pollution to our water or our air. There is no stoml sewer and the runoff would drain into the ditch water that we use to irrigate our gardens.
We have a right to this water and do not \\lant it contaminated. The proposed building size and signage would be an eye sore. We love our views. Why does the city of Wheat Ridge want
a business on every lot? Would you prefer to be an industrial city rather than farming community that Wheat Ridge was founded? Shame on you. Would you want this monstrosity in your neighborhood?
We moved here because of the environment and have faithfully paid our property taxes for many years. How long do you think the truck business will be there before it is abandoned, as
are so many other businesses? Do not ruin our community! We do vote regularly. Regards, Ray A. Strohmeyer .-'-7 " /C l ~ !1 }J:~~~fft Mary T. Stroluneyer 11177th;;
~ City of fPr Wheat RL..dge ~PUBL1 C W O RKS Memorandum TO: Adam Tietz, Plrumer FROM: Mark Westberg, PE, CFM, Project Supervisor DATE: April 16, 2010 SUBJECT: 4395 Xenon Street SUP Public
Works staff has reviewed the letter from the resident at 4380 Xenon Street, dated April 7, 2010, concerning the proposed SUP at 4395 Xenon Street. We have the following responses to
the resident's concerns: I. Traffic Concerns -Xenon Street and 42nd Avenue are both classified as local streets that connect to Youngfield Street and 44th Avenue, which are both classified
as arterial streets. Two lane streets can typically accommodate up to 10,000 vehicles per day, so the addition of the proposed facility will have a minimal impact on the capacity of
the street. Xenon Street and 42nd Avenue already have a mixture of residential and non-residential properties. In addition, the property for the proposed development is already zoned
commercial. I According to the applicant, there will be 9 employees and they typically serve 12-15 15 customers per day. Based on these numbers and the numbers above, Xenon has more
then adequate capacity to handle any increase in traffic that would be generated from this property. 2. Drainage and Water Quality -The applicant is proposing to follow the City's drainage
requirements which include regionally accepted facilities and best management practices (BMPs) to mitigate the impacts of stormwater from developments on the environment. A maintenance
plan will be prepared by the applicant and reviewed by the City for compliance with the regionally accepted BMPs with annual reports being required to show that the plan is being followed.
3. There currently is no project scheduled to realign Youngfield Street and Ward Road that would result in Xenon Street ending in a cul-de-sac. [fa cul-de-sac was constructed at the
north end of Xenon Street, the only traffic using the northern end Xenon Street would only be from the existing headstone business and the applicant's property and. A cul-de-sac on Xenon
Street would likely result in less traffic on the Xenon Street than exists today as traffic would no longer be able to travel down Xenon Street to W. 42nd Avenue to get to Youngfield
Street in order to avoid the traffic signal at W 44lh Avenue and Youngfield Street. If you have any questions or comments, please let me know. ATTACHMENT 3

ALLOCATION OF FEDERAL HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT FUNDS TO THE WHEAT RIDGE HOUSING AUTHORITY FOR THE PURPOSE OF ACQUIRING A SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL
HOME TO BE REHABILITATED AND SOLD o PUBLIC HEARING o ORDINANCES FOR 1ST READING o BIDS/MOTIONS ~ RESOLUTIONS QUASI-JUDICIAL: ISSUE: o ORDINANCES FOR 2 ND READING YES ~ NO City ManaRtr
The City receives an annual allocation of federal Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds from Jefferson County. The City currently has approximately
$75,000 in remaining funds in our jurisdictional allocation from 2007. HUD and Jefferson County are requiring those funds be obligated to a project no later than May 31, 20 I O. City
Council had previously allocated those funds to go toward site clearance, demolition and public improvements in conjunction with the Renewal Wheat Ridge proposal to redevelop properties
at the southeast corner of 44th and Wadsworth. With the public/private partnership for that redevelopment project not yet finalized, it is not currently possible to spend those funds
on that project. Working with the Jefferson County Community Development staff, it has been determined that the most straightforward and expedient use of those funds to meet the
Council Action Form May 10,2010 Page 2 HUO and County deadline would be to acquire a single family home for acquisition, rehabilitation and sale. It is being recommended the funds be
allocated to the Wheat Ridge Housing Authority for the purpose of acquiring a single family home. The Wheat Ridge Housing Authority would augment the COBO funds with their own resources
to cover the full costs of the acquisition and subsequent rehab of the property. PRIOR ACTION: At a February 22, 2010 City Council meeting, City Council adopted a resolution supporting
the use of the City's 2007, 2008, 2009 and 20 10 COBO funds for the redevelopment of the 44th Ave. and Wadsworth Blvd. and allocated $30,000 toward the Senior Resource Center senior
circulator bus. BACKGROUND: Jefferson County is considered the grantee of the COBO funds by the federal government and is ultimately responsible for the timely and proper use of the
funds . The City is considered a sub recipient of the funds. The City has an Intergovernmental Agreement Agreement ([OA) with Jefferson County concerning the allocation of County COBO
funds to the City of Wheat Ridge. [n recent years, the IGA was amended to allow the accumulation of up to three years of the City's jurisdictional allocations. There has been a change
in administration at the Jefferson County Community Development Office. The new director has indicated the County is over the unallocated funding limit allowed by the U. S. Treasury
and needs to spend 2007 funds by May 31, 2010. Based on City Council's previous action, the balance of the 2008, 2009 and 2010 funds will continue to be reserved for work associated
with th~ 44th and Wadsworth redevelopment. However, it is necessary for the City to identify an alternative use of the remaining 2007 funds, or we will be required to return the funds
to the County to allocate toward some other eligible project. FINANCIAL IMP ACT: There will not be any direct financial impact to the City based on the recommended action. The $74,738
will be allocated directly from Jefferson County to the Wheat Ridge Housing Authority (WRHA). The funds will leverage additional financial resources from the WRHA, who will cover the
balance of the acquisition and rehab costs. RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends authorizing the use of the City's 2007 COBG funds in the amount of $74,738 to the WRHA for the purpose of
acquiring a single family home and rehabbing for sale to an owner-occupant. Based on previous City Council direction, staff had been attempting to allocate the funds toward the pending
redevelopment project at 44th and Wadsworth. However, because that public private development agreement has not been finalized, it is not possible to spend the money on that project.
Council Action Form May 10,2010 Page 3 Staff also looked at several other options for use of the funds, including the following: • Allocating to SRC to acquire a new bus (ineligible
because it is considered a "service" and the County has already used the maximum amount allowed in that category) • Allocating for seasonal code enforcement (ineligible in the same manner
noted above) • Allocating toward demolition costs and environmental remediation for the former transmission shop at the corner of 44th and Upham, which is owned by Renewal Wheat Ridge
(timeframes necessary to bid that project were too lengthy to meet the County's May 31 deadline) RECOMMENDED MOTION: "T move to approve Resolution No. 22-2010 authorizing the allocation
0[$74,738 ofthe City'S 2007 jurisdictional allocation ofCDBG funds to the WRHA for the purpose of acquiring a single family home and rehabilitating it for sale to an owner-occupant.

To the Mayor and City Council, May 10,2010 12290 W 42nd Ave Wheat Ridge, Colorado 80033 Due to a funeral today, we are unable to attend tonight's meeting concerning Case #SUP-lO-03.
There are numerous reasons we are opposed to this special use and we will list a few of them. 1. A special use permit is just that, SPECIAL. These permits should not be given out without
a clear need for that particular use in a particular zone category. This use should also be one that will not be detrimental to the surrounding land uses. This particular special use
does not fall into this category, as we see it. 2. The April 25, 2010 Hub the Mayor stated that the new mixed use zoning code would encourage development that is walk-able, compact and
contains a mix ofland uses. It is to create a balanced mix of land uses that will promote long-term economic growth for the community. Yes, this use is walk-able for a few homeowners
who might want to have their vehicles repaired here. It is defiantly compact but does it promote long-term economic growth for the community. We think not. The impact to the surrounding
land uses will ouly encourage a loss of land values, and an undo impact on a residential street. It can also have long term effects on the revitalization of the area. 3. Impact to Xenon
Street and W. 42nd Avenue and Xenon will be beyond words. The long range plan for Xenon Street and 44th Avenue is to close off the street and have traffic exit from Xenon Street onto
42nd and Y oungfield Street. This means, commercial traffic on a residential street. Until that time, traffic, no matter what the developer says, will use EITHER 44thIXenon or 42nd and
Youngfield as the access to this development. 4. After a major investment is made by this owner, the use established with a special use permit, will probably be next to impossible to
not allow future special use permits to continue for this use. Or a re-zoning application to continue said use. 5. It is our hope that you do not think a precedent was set in this neighborhood
by the approval of a special use permit for the doggie daycare. We were opposed to the issuance of that permit. Now, we have a request for a use with a much more intense impact on the
residential neighborhood. The traffic flow for the doggie daycare is not always to and from 44th and Xenon but, also traffic uses 42nd and Youngfield, thus traveling down a residential
street. 6. Will Cabela's be built? It is anyone's guess, but for once, the City of Wheat Ridge has an opportunity to begin encouraging development that will encourage a renewal of this
end of Wheat Ridge that does not include one more business that deals with vehicles of any kind. We have camper sales lots, camper repair sites, a truck stop, truck tire repair shop,
small trailer sales, diesel repair at the truck stop, gas stations. Nice view from 1-70, Youngfield, 44th Avenue, and
\ ,/Ward Road. One of the "better" gateways to Wheat Ridge!!! . This area of Wheat Ridge has more than enough auto repair shops to meet the needs of the area. 7. This site is near a
major irrigation ditch and the water table is rather close to the surface. Many, ifnot most of the homes in this area depend on wells for their domestic water. We are concerned about
the detergents used to clean bays, oil, diesel fuels, etc. getting into the water table. Yes, the developer can say and the City can require systems to protect the water, but all of
us know these are not fail safe. 8. What impact will this development have when Y oungfield Street is improved at this intersection? 9. This site will also increase the noise in this
neighborhood. We could go on and on, but we hope you see our concern. Now, instead of just asking you to deny this special use, we need to work with the City and come up with a mini
master plan for the area from Tabor Street west to Youngfield, Clear Creek to 1-70. This plan would help all land owners, commercial and residential to know and understand what the future
uses will be so they can decide how much they want to invest in their property. We know it is almost unbelievable to many that people enjoy living in this part of Wheat Ridge. We have
so many amenities that are not found elsewhere in the city. People come from all over to use the greenbelt that is right in our backyards, so to speak. We have access to shopping, the
interstate, schools of all kinds, large lots, horses, trails for walking, biking and horseback riding, safe neighborhoods where neighbors know neighbors. So, to the City Council, we
ask you to deny this special use permit and work with us to improve what is here instead of causing a slow death of the neighborhoods. With decay comes crime with crime comes more decay
and blight for businesses and residential neighborhoods. ~ .. ,J1J.ank you, .=-=o~
