1.0 INTRODUCTION
This Technical and Management Approach document defines the roles and responsibilities for
Weston Solutions, Inc. ( WESTON) for the demolition and/or deconstruction activities at the 44
and Wadsworth Redevelopment Site located at 7340 W. 44 Avenue in Wheat Ridge, Colorado.
WESTON will act as general contractor for this project.
ROM COSTS — To be finalized at the February 15, 2011, Board Meeting
WESTON intends to complete this portion of site demolition to include the scope listed below
for a Not -to- Exceed price of $395,000. This price includes all project management,
environmental considerations, permits, fencing, and subcontract services as well as a
contingency for unforeseen conditions that might arise during the project's execution.
WESTON has prepared a budget for the execution of the complete scope of work forecasting the
expected actual cost to be approximately $320,000. The delta between the Not -to- Exceed price
and the working budget has been developed due to risks associated with aggressive subcontractor
pricing.
As the Master Developer for the Wheat Ridge Urban Renewal Authority (Renewal Wheat Ridge
(RWR)) WESTON has a vested interest to deliver the construction tasks for the best possible
value. As part of this interest WESTON has selected an abatement and demolition contractor that
showed extremely competitive pricing. Due diligence was performed to verify that the contractor
works in a safe manner, understands the scope of work they will be contracted to perform, and is
financially capable of maintaining the operation through completion. References were also
received regarding their past performance on similar projects.
All construction work has inherent risks. By utilizing a Cost Plus Fixed fee contract the
appropriate Team approach can be appreciated between WESTON and Renewal Wheat Ridge,
however by introducing the Not -to- Exceed price a significant amount of risk is placed on
WESTON that is not offset by the financial upside potential of a Firm Fixed Price contract. This
is the reason WESTON has identified a large contingency in the Not -to- Exceed price. WESTON
will continue to operate with an open book policy for the financial status of the project.
The cost for bonding by WESTON is also included in these estimates at the rate of 3 %.
2.0 TECHNICAL AND MANAGEMENT APPROACH
The general scope of the project is for WESTON to provide complete demolition of the site
located at 44 and Wadsworth in Wheat Ridge. The intent of this demolition project is to
prepare the site for future new construction (see attached Request for Proposal documents and
Statement of Work for detailed description of activities). To achieve this, demolition activities
will include:
44` and Wadsworth Redevelopment Site Demolition
Technical and Management Approach
11 February 2011
Page 2 of 9
• Asbestos abatement and demolition of the antique mall.
• Asbestos and lead based paint abatement and demolition of the auto shop located in the
northeast area of the site.
• Removal and backfill of any building foundations removed.
• Removal of all site features (parking lot lights, walls, signs, bollards).
• Removal of all concrete and asphalt.
• Removal of all utilities that will not impact municipal activities.
In addition to demolition, WESTON will leave the site in "subgrade" condition, and will provide
site seeding to reduce erosion impacts. This will prepare the site for new construction with
minimal future activities.
WESTON requested that bidding contractors provide alternate costs for Green Demolition
efforts that would divert a minimum of 75% of the waste produced from the demolition activities
from landfills. This could also provide credits toward LEED certification of any new buildings
constructed on the site. The most competitive price received for the demolition and abatement
scope of work is a Green Demolition effort with a goal of 95% of waste material diverted from
landfills.
2.1 WESTON Provided Services
WESTON will act as the general contractor and liaison to Renewal Wheat Ridge for all aspects
of this demolition project. WESTON will provide the following services for this project:
• Develop a not -to- exceed price based on a Cost -Plus Fixed Fee (CPFF) basis for the
successful completion of this project.
• Develop and maintain a project schedule.
• Coordinate project status meetings.
• Provide all aspects of project management for the project, including project management,
full -time site superintendent, health and safety, quality control, project controls, waste
management reporting, and routine daily reporting.
• Provide a Contractor's Progress, Status, and Management Report (CPSMR).
• Provide contracting for all necessary entities needed to successfully complete this project.
• Coordinate utility disconnections.
• Provide site fencing and security.
• Prepare and submit a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP).
• Obtain and maintain all other required permits in cooperation with subcontractors.
• Initiate, manage and maintain site health and safety and quality measures.
• Provide signage identifying the project site as a Renewal Wheat Ridge development.
2.2 WESTON Subcontracted Services
WESTON plans to contract out the work items below. All subcontractors must meet and comply
with all of WESTON's health and safety and quality procedures. All contractors must be

qualified within WESTON's subcontractor qualification system, SubTrack, prior to receiving
award.
• Asbestos and lead based paint abatement and verification
• All other site demolition activities
• Traffic control
• Geotechnical testing
Subcontractor Team
WESTON received 8 proposals for performance of asbestos abatement and demolition of the
project site. WESTON made its contractor selection based on the criteria outlined in the RFP
package to contractors. The deciding factors were cost, technical and management approach,
and schedule. WESTON selected Alpine Demolition and Recycling (Alpine) to provide
turnkey demolition and abatement of the project site. This selection was made based on the fact
that Alpine was the low bidder, was qualified in our SubTrack system, would provide services
within the allotted period of performance, and demonstrated a keen understanding of the project
needs and approach. Furthermore, Alpine plans to recycle up to 95% of all materials onsite,
which will qualify future construction efforts for 1 or 2 LEED points.
WESTON will also contract the services of S &R Environmental (S &R). S &R will provide
required 3rd party onsite asbestos abatement project management, air monitoring, OSHA
monitoring, air monitoring clearances, project design, final reporting and closeout, and signature
approval of the demolition permit as required by the Colorado Department of Public Health and
Environment (CDPHE).
3.0 PROJECT TEAM AND SCHEDULE
3.1 Project Management Team
WESTON will provide an experienced project management team for all aspects of the site
demolition project at 44` and Wadsworth. The following personnel will support the successful
completion of demolition activities, and will perform work on a CPFF basis as outlined in the
Master Development Agreement.
Project Manager: Nick Moore P.E. will provide project management for this project. He will
act as liaison between WESTON and Renewal Wheat Ridge. Mr. Moore will ensure that
demolition and abatement activities are completed on schedule and will address any issues that
may arise during demolition. Mr. Moore will coordinate activities with the project team,
Renewal Wheat Ridge, and the community in order to provide the successful completion of this
project.
Project Engineer: Jared Johnson P.E. will provide project engineering and project management

4.0 PLANS, REPORTS, AND DELIVERABLES
Safety is one of WESTON's core values. We care for our co- workers, families, clients, and
subcontractors and are focused on being safety leaders wherever we live and work. We thrive in
a "safety first and all- the - time" culture and accept personal responsibility for creating a safe
environment. For these reasons, WESTON's safety programs and requirements apply for
subcontractors as they do for WESTON employees. Due to the nature of the work, special
attention will be given to the Health and Safety procedures established before work is initiated to
the following key areas:
• Clearly delineating active construction zones
• Addressing noise and air pollutant mitigation actions
• Safety procedures during demolition and offsite disposal
• Safety and coordination of demolition, excavation and grading activities

WESTON's Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) Group is proactive in assessing current
EHS Programs and setting strategies for years ahead. WESTON implements this EHS Program
to fulfill our commitment to employees, subcontractors, and a diverse and dynamic range of
clients to provide safe and healthy working conditions. Emphasis is also directed to continuous
environmental compliance, continual improvement, and pollution prevention strategies. The EHS
Program that will be implemented for this project is presented in three parts:
• Part 1 - Health and Safety Program
• Part 2 - Safety Manual
• Part 3 - Environmental Protection Program
The following sections summarize the three components of WESTON's EHS Program.
Health and Safety Program
It is WESTON's policy to assure that its employees are furnished a place of employment in
which they are secure from recognized risks to their health and safety. In addition, WESTON's
employees are required to conduct work activities in compliance with applicable safety
regulations, and in a manner that will allow WESTON to achieve its goal for all employees and
subcontractors to work safely — 100% of the time — in an environmentally responsible manner.
WESTON has implemented a behavior -based safety (BBS) program where we are all responsible
for each other, focusing on behaviors and intervention techniques to improve behavioral
processes. Within BBS, our employees create high quality connections with one another, team
members, and stakeholders to foster an active, caring culture. Commitment is higher and we help
each other be safe every minute of every day. By achieving this goal, we will achieve our
expectation of zero incidents. All employees assume a safety leadership role and are responsible
for the safety of co- workers, our team members, and stakeholders.
WESTON's EHS management system encompasses quality, environmental preservation, health,
and safety to execute projects without harm to persons, property, or the environment. WESTON
encourages the Plan, Do, Check, Act (PDCA) model for project planning and implementation as
standard work practice for every job. The four elements of the PDCA model include:
• Plan: Plan ahead, analyze, and predict results.
• Do: Execute the plan, taking small steps in a controlled environment.
• Check: Review the results, compare against the plan.
• Act: Take action to maintain or improve.
Safety Manual
In the spirit of the EHS program, during project execution, a necessary approach to minim ize,
control or eliminate the potential for adverse impact to human health and the environment is the
use of administrative controls. The primary administrative control is the development and
implementation of a site - specific Health and Safety Plan (HASP) that addresses all recognized
and anticipated hazards associated with every work assignment. The HASP must be read,
understood and implemented by all project personnel and contractors. WESTON field operation
44` and Wadsworth Redevelopment Site Demolition
Technical and Management Approach
11 February 2011
Page 6 of 9
procedures will be followed by all project personnel and available on the WESTON EHS Portal.
The Site Manager will ensure that a tailgate health and safety briefing covers all work activities
scheduled for a particular day.
The HASP is required for all field projects and includes project - specific, task -by -task hazard risk
analysis, emergency contingencies, field operating procedures, and background information. The
HASP will be reviewed by the appropriate WESTON Safety Professional for approval.
WESTON EHS documents are developed and reviewed to ensure document quality and
compliance with regulations and client requirements. Project managers ensure version and access
control of project documents. As needed, client- or project- specific procedures and
responsibilities are established and maintained regarding development and revision of
documents. Examples of EHS documents developed by WESTON include, but are not limited to,
HASPs; regulatory plans; monitoring, status, and summary reports; and documentation of
programmatic data.
Environmental Protection Program
As part of the comprehensive, integrated EHS Program, this Environmental Protection Program
establishes the approach to executing all operations in a manner that protects the safety of
employees, the public, and the environment. This Environmental Protection Program provides
the framework for accomplishing WESTON's policy for environmental protection and
compliance. WESTON will identify operations and activities associated with significant
environmental aspects in line with our policy to include storm water control, air monitoring, and
hazardous materials handling. The Environmental Protection Program will be augmented with
specific plans pertinent to these activities to ensure that they are carried out under specified
conditions.
Environmental management systems and processes are an integral and essential part of the
WESTON EHS Program. WESTON is committed to operating and performing work in
accordance with sound environmental practices. To ensure fulfillment of that commitment, the
management, employees, and subcontractors to WESTON will adhere to the following
principles:
• WESTON will prepare a SWPPP that will be active for the extent of the project, and will
place Best Management Practices to control surface water pollution during construction
activities.
• WESTON employees and subcontractors will be responsible stewards of the
environment.
• WESTON activities, and those of its subcontractors, will be conducted in compliance
with applicable federal, state, and local environmental regulations and WESTON
procedures.
• Environmental hazards will be continuously identified and evaluated during work
planning and execution. Effective control of environmental hazards will be implemented
for operations. Operational improvements that enhance environmental performance and
44 th and Wadsworth Redevelopment Site Demolition

pollution prevention opportunities will be sought out and implemented on a continuous
basis.
• Senior Management will monitor the effectiveness of WESTON environmental
performance.
• Environmental professionals employed by WESTON are prepared to serve as mentors for
area business, municipal, and educational organizations.
WESTON environmental practices, procedures, and controls will be implemented in concert
with, and as a part of all other EHS elements. Through the integration of environmental
management throughout all operations, WESTON intends to achieve and maintain ZERO
ACCIDENTS (unpermitted discharges or releases to the environment).
4.2 Quality Program
WESTON employs a series of clearly defined steps to ensure a proactive Quality
Assurance /Quality Control (QA/QC) process throughout the life cycle of every project. These
include: (1) at the initiation of the project, clearly define the customer's expectations and
standards of quality applicable to the project; (2) document and communicate the QA/QC
requirements to the project team and stakeholders; (3) implement QA/QC measures during field
execution, with responsible and accountable individuals assigned to enforce quality
requirements; (4) monitor compliance through mandatory audits and take corrective actions as
needed; (5) capture lessons learned from every project to ensure that QA/QC process is focused
on continuous improvement and a "zero tolerance" for quality incidents.
4.3 Project Completion
Following successful project implementation, WESTON will perform the following closeout
procedures:
1. WESTON will submit two (2) hard copies and one (1) electronic copy of the as -built
drawings to the Renewal Wheat Ridge upon completion of the project.
2. WESTON will maintain storm water erosion controls as needed for a period of up to one year
upon completion of demolition activities.
3. Working hours shall normally be between 7:45 a.m. and 5:15 p.m., excluding weekends and
federal holidays.
4. Due to project requirements, extended hours may be required in order to close an open
excavation prior to shutting down for the day.
5. The duration for this project is anticipated to be 60 calendar days of on -site work. See
attached schedule.
5.0 Permits and Utilities
All necessary permits will be coordinated and obtained by WESTON prior to starting demolition
activities for this project. WESTON will provide copies of all permits to Renewal Wheat Ridge.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
This Technical and Management Approach document defines the roles and responsibilities for
Weston Solutions, Inc. ( WESTON) for the demolition and/or deconstruction activities at the 44`
and Wadsworth Redevelopment Site located at 7340 W. 44` Avenue in Wheat Ridge, Colorado.
WESTON will act as general contractor for this project.
ROM COSTS — To be finalized at the February 15, 2011, Board Meeting
WESTON intends to complete this portion of site demolition to include the scope listed below
for a Not -to- Exceed price of $395,000. This price includes all project management,
environmental considerations, permits, fencing, and subcontract services as well as a
contingency for unforeseen conditions that might arise during the project's execution.
WESTON has prepared a budget for the execution of the complete scope of work forecasting the
expected actual cost to be approximately $320,000. The delta between the Not -to- Exceed price
and the working budget has been developed due to risks associated with aggressive subcontractor
pricing.
As the Master Developer for the Wheat Ridge Urban Renewal Authority (Renewal Wheat Ridge
(RWR)) WESTON has a vested interest to deliver the construction tasks for the best possible
value. As part of this interest WESTON has selected an abatement and demolition contractor that
showed extremely competitive pricing. Due diligence was performed to verify that the contractor
works in a safe manner, understands the scope of work they will be contracted to perform, and is
financially capable of maintaining the operation through completion. References were also
received regarding their past performance on similar projects.
All construction work has inherent risks. By utilizing a Cost Plus Fixed fee contract the
appropriate Team approach can be appreciated between WESTON and Renewal Wheat Ridge,
however by introducing the Not -to- Exceed price a significant amount of risk is placed on
WESTON that is not offset by the financial upside potential of a Firm Fixed Price contract. This
is the reason WESTON has identified a large contingency in the Not -to- Exceed price. WESTON
will continue to operate with an open book policy for the financial status of the project.
The cost for bonding by WESTON is also included in these estimates at the rate of 3 %.
2.0 TECHNICAL AND MANAGEMENT APPROACH
The general scope of the project is for WESTON to provide complete demolition of the site
located at 44 and Wadsworth in Wheat Ridge. The intent of this demolition project is to
prepare the site for future new construction (see attached Request for Proposal documents and
Statement of Work for detailed description of activities). To achieve this, demolition activities
will include:
44` and Wadsworth Redevelopment Site Demolition
Technical and Management Approach
11 February 2011
Page 2 of 9
• Asbestos abatement and demolition of the antique mall.
• Asbestos and lead based paint abatement and demolition of the auto shop located in the
northeast area of the site.
• Removal and backfill of any building foundations removed.
• Removal of all site features (parking lot lights, walls, signs, bollards).
• Removal of all concrete and asphalt.
• Removal of all utilities that will not impact municipal activities.
In addition to demolition, WESTON will leave the site in "subgrade" condition, and will provide
site seeding to reduce erosion impacts. This will prepare the site for new construction with
minimal future activities.
WESTON requested that bidding contractors provide alternate costs for Green Demolition
efforts that would divert a minimum of 75% of the waste produced from the demolition activities
from landfills. This could also provide credits toward LEED certification of any new buildings
constructed on the site. The most competitive price received for the demolition and abatement
scope of work is a Green Demolition effort with a goal of 95% of waste material diverted from
landfills.
2.1 WESTON Provided Services
WESTON will act as the general contractor and liaison to Renewal Wheat Ridge for all aspects
of this demolition project. WESTON will provide the following services for this project:
• Develop a not -to- exceed price based on a Cost -Plus Fixed Fee (CPFF) basis for the
successful completion of this project.
• Develop and maintain a project schedule.
• Coordinate project status meetings.
• Provide all aspects of project management for the project, including project management,
full -time site superintendent, health and safety, quality control, project controls, waste
management reporting, and routine daily reporting.
• Provide a Contractor's Progress, Status, and Management Report (CPSMR).
• Provide contracting for all necessary entities needed to successfully complete this project.
• Coordinate utility disconnections.
• Provide site fencing and security.
• Prepare and submit a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP).
• Obtain and maintain all other required permits in cooperation with subcontractors.
• Initiate, manage and maintain site health and safety and quality measures.
• Provide signage identifying the project site as a Renewal Wheat Ridge development.
2.2 WESTON Subcontracted Services
WESTON plans to contract out the work items below. All subcontractors must meet and comply
with all of WESTON's health and safety and quality procedures. All contractors must be

qualified within WESTON's subcontractor qualification system, SubTrack, prior to receiving
award.
• Asbestos and lead based paint abatement and verification
• All other site demolition activities
• Traffic control
• Geotechnical testing
Subcontractor Team
WESTON received 8 proposals for performance of asbestos abatement and demolition of the
project site. WESTON made its contractor selection based on the criteria outlined in the RFP
package to contractors. The deciding factors were cost, technical and management approach,
and schedule. WESTON selected Alpine Demolition and Recycling (Alpine) to provide
turnkey demolition and abatement of the project site. This selection was made based on the fact
that Alpine was the low bidder, was qualified in our SubTrack system, would provide services
within the allotted period of performance, and demonstrated a keen understanding of the project
needs and approach. Furthermore, Alpine plans to recycle up to 95% of all materials onsite,
which will qualify future construction efforts for 1 or 2 LEED points.
WESTON will also contract the services of S &R Environmental (S &R). S &R will provide
required 3rd party onsite asbestos abatement project management, air monitoring, OSHA
monitoring, air monitoring clearances, project design, final reporting and closeout, and signature
approval of the demolition permit as required by the Colorado Department of Public Health and
Environment (CDPHE).

WESTON's Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) Group is proactive in assessing current
EHS Programs and setting strategies for years ahead. WESTON implements this EHS Program
to fulfill our commitment to employees, subcontractors, and a diverse and dynamic range of
clients to provide safe and healthy working conditions. Emphasis is also directed to continuous
environmental compliance, continual improvement, and pollution prevention strategies. The EHS
Program that will be implemented for this project is presented in three parts:
• Part 1 - Health and Safety Program
• Part 2 - Safety Manual
• Part 3 - Environmental Protection Program
The following sections summarize the three components of WESTON's EHS Program.
Health and Safety Program
It is WESTON's policy to assure that its employees are furnished a place of employment in
which they are secure from recognized risks to their health and safety. In addition, WESTON's
employees are required to conduct work activities in compliance with applicable safety
regulations, and in a manner that will allow WESTON to achieve its goal for all employees and
subcontractors to work safely — 100% of the time — in an environmentally responsible manner.
WESTON has implemented a behavior -based safety (BBS) program where we are all responsible
for each other, focusing on behaviors and intervention techniques to improve behavioral
processes. Within BBS, our employees create high quality connections with one another, team
members, and stakeholders to foster an active, caring culture. Commitment is higher and we help
each other be safe every minute of every day. By achieving this goal, we will achieve our
expectation of zero incidents. All employees assume a safety leadership role and are responsible
for the safety of co- workers, our team members, and stakeholders.
WESTON's EHS management system encompasses quality, environmental preservation, health,
and safety to execute projects without harm to persons, property, or the environment. WESTON
encourages the Plan, Do, Check, Act (PDCA) model for project planning and implementation as
standard work practice for every job. The four elements of the PDCA model include:
• Plan: Plan ahead, analyze, and predict results.
• Do: Execute the plan, taking small steps in a controlled environment.
• Check: Review the results, compare against the plan.
• Act: Take action to maintain or improve.
Safety Manual
In the spirit of the EHS program, during project execution, a necessary approach to minimize,
control or eliminate the potential for adverse impact to human health and the environment is the
use of administrative controls. The primary administrative control is the development and
implementation of a site - specific Health and Safety Plan (HASP) that addresses all recognized
and anticipated hazards associated with every work assignment. The HASP must be read,
understood and implemented by all project personnel and contractors. WESTON field operation

procedures will be followed by all project personnel and available on the WESTON EHS Portal.
The Site Manager will ensure that a tailgate health and safety briefing covers all work activities
scheduled for a particular day.
The HASP is required for all field projects and includes project - specific, task -by -task hazard risk
analysis, emergency contingencies, field operating procedures, and background information. The
HASP will be reviewed by the appropriate WESTON Safety Professional for approval.
WESTON EHS documents are developed and reviewed to ensure document quality and
compliance with regulations and client requirements. Project managers ensure version and access
control of project documents. As needed, client- or project - specific procedures and
responsibilities are established and maintained regarding development and revision of
documents. Examples of EHS documents developed by WESTON include, but are not limited to,
HASPS; regulatory plans; monitoring, status, and summary reports; and documentation of
programmatic data.
Environmental Protection Program
As part of the comprehensive, integrated EHS Program, this Environmental Protection Program
establishes the approach to executing all operations in a manner that protects the safety of
employees, the public, and the environment. This Environmental Protection Program provides
the framework for accomplishing WESTON's policy for environmental protection and
compliance. WESTON will identify operations and activities associated with significant
environmental aspects in line with our policy to include storm water control, air monitoring, and
hazardous materials handling. The Environmental Protection Program will be augmented with
specific plans pertinent to these activities to ensure that they are carried out under specified

MEMORANDUM
TO: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
FROM: COREY Y. HOFFMANN, ESQ
DATE: FEBRUARY 11, 2011
RE: PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT
Elizabeth C. Gross
Christine C. Stretesky
Cristina DiMaria
At the Renewal Wheat Ridge Board's regular meeting of February 15, 2011, you will be
considering whether to approve a Purchase Agreement between Renewal Wheat Ridge and
Wazee Partners, LLC for an approximately sized 2.17 acre parcel of property on the east side of
the proposed development at 44 Avenue and Wadsworth, which if fully performed, will result
in the construction of 88 residential apartment units contemplated to be age restricted (senior)
housing. This Memorandum attempts to summarize the provisions within this Purchase
Agreement.
First, the Purchase Price is $704,000, which equates to roughly $7.44 per square foot.
However, in addition to the Purchase Price, Wazee Partners is agreeing to pay an additional
$176,000 for its cost of improvements to the Property, identified as "Development Impact
Assessments." Thus, the total amount paid to the Authority for a "Fully Improved Legally
Subdivided Lot" as that term is defined in the Purchase Agreement is $880,000. Using the value
of $880,000, the Purchase Price is roughly $9.31 per square foot.
Second, the Authority's obligations in addition to standard title and due diligence issues
primarily involve creating the "Fully Improved Subdivided Lot" through the City's subdivision
process. A "Fully Improved Subdivided Lot" generally includes acceptable access primarily
from Vance Street, installation of utility infrastructure, access to storm drainage, signage, and

demolition of existing improvements on the Property. The obligations for constructing the
infrastructure are required to be completed no later than nine (9) months after the date of closing.
In terns of the timing of closing and the payment of Earnest Money, the amount of
Earnest Money being provided is $40,000, which is due within 15 business days of execution of
the Purchase Agreement. However, this Purchase Agreement is expressly contingent on several
issues related to financing the project. Most importantly, Wazee Partners must be awarded tax
credits by the Colorado Housing and Finance Authority ( "CHFA "). There are two rounds of
applications for such awards. The first is due /March 1, 2011, and awarded by May 1, 2011, and
the second is due July 1, 2011, and awarded approximately September 1, 2011. Section 5.2 of
the Purchase Agreement specifically provides that the award of a CHFA Tax Credit Allocation is
a condition precedent to closing. In addition, mortgage loan financing is also a condition
precedent, but you will be provided in your materials assurances from Wazee Partners regarding
their ability to satisfy the mortgage financing condition once the tax credit allocation is awarded,
if it is awarded.
Under the Purchase Agreement, closing is contemplated to be July 15, 2011, provided
Wazee Partners receives an award of the CHFA Tax Credit Allocation in the first round, and
approximately October 1, 2011, provided Wazee Partners receives an award of the CHFA Tax
Credit Allocation in the second round. Please note that there is certainly no guarantee that
Wazee Partners will receive the award, and as structured, the Earnest Money does not become
nonrefundable unless the conditions precedent are satisfied.
There are a number of details regarding the CHFA Tax Credit Allocation process that you
may desire to have explained to you to help understand the likelihood of Wazee Partners being
able to perform its obligations and close on the property as contemplated. Representatives of
Wazee Partners will be at the meeting to respond to questions.
As always, please let me know if you have any questions.

TO: Renewal Wheat Ridge Board Members
FROM: Patrick Goff, Executive Director
PREPARED BY: Steve Art, Urban Renewal Manager
RE: Annexation — Table Mountain Animal Shelter (4105 Youngfield Rd.);
Amended Planned Commercial Development Concept Outline Development
Plan and Specific Plan for property located at 4000 Cabela Drive
DATE: February 15, 2011
The Community Development Department has received the attached request to initiate the annexation
of 33.38 acres of property located at 4105 Youngfield Road, the site of the former Table Mountain
Animal Shelter. The intent of the annexation is to include a portion of the property into the proposed
Cabela's commercial development at 4000 Cabela Drive. Any remaining portion of the annexed land
will be dedicated to open space.
The Department has also received a two -fold application for the approval of an amended Planned
Commercial Development ( "PCD ") Concept Outline Development Plan ( "ODP ") for the Cabela's
parcel; and Specific Development Outline Development Plans for various properties within the
concept ODP area relating to the Cabela's site.
The City's Zoning and Development Code requires the review by Renewal Wheat Ridge (RWR) of
proposed land use actions in an urban renewal area. The Code requires a recommendation from
RWR based on its review of the application "against the provisions of the urban renewal plan with
respect to the land area, land use, design, building requirements, timing and procedure." RWR
members are not making a recommendation on whether the request should be approved or not. Their
task is to determine if the request is in compliance with the I- 70 /Kipling Corridors Urban Renewal
Plan (the "Plan ") approved in May 2009. This finding will be one factor to be considered in the
approval process.
I- 70/Kipling Corridors Urban Renewal Plan — May 2009
The requests are consistent with the Plan whose primary development objective is to encourage
strategic investment in the public realm that will leverage private sector projects. The Plan provides
for the Authority to undertake certain actions to make the area more attractive for private investment
and authorizes the Authority to acquire property for assemblage to remove blight and create a more
desirable site for private development. The plan also authorizes the Authority to undertake zoning
and planning activities to regulate land use, maximum densities, and building requirements in the
Area with the City regulating land use and building requirements.
7500 West 29 Avenue Wheat Ridge, CO 80033 Phone: 303.235.2805 Fax: 303.235.2805 www.ci.wheatridge.co.us
The land uses within the Cabela's project encourage increased private sector investment, eliminate
blight within the project boundaries, and assemble property, which are consistent with the Plan.
Recommended Findings:
The proposed annexation, PCD, ODP, and Specific Development Outline Development Plans meet
the requirements of the City's Zoning and Development Code as they pertain to RWR.
The annexation of the 33.38 acres, currently in the sphere of influence of Jefferson County but
surrounded on all sides by property within the City of Wheat Ridge would eliminate the creation of
an island effect for this parcel thus making future development of this parcel difficult. The
accompanying annexation map demonstrates the property is within the boundaries of the Plan.
The ODP is intended to serve as the general zoning document for the entire PCD by establishing
permitted land uses, access points, and development standards for this 210 acres. The Specific
Outline Development Plan establishes specific site development for 57.1 aces and various parcels
within the overall PCD. Both of these requests are consistent with the Plan.
Staff and legal counsel have determined it would be in the best interest of the City and County to
initiate the annexation process and include this parcel into the development site for the future
Cabela's commercial project. Staff also concludes the PCD, ODP and Specific Development Outline
Development Plans for various properties within the ODP are consistent with the Plan.
