OLD BUSINESS 232MMMEM09 on the south, 1-70 on the north, Tabor Street on the west and Robb Street on the east. Alan White summarized comments from the Novern er 4th meeting and presented three alternative designs which incorporate suggestions and comments received at that meeting. Commissioner THOMPSON stated her opposition to alternative C which would allow a through street between 44th and 46th. She expressed concern that if the vacant property on the east side of Tabor Street develops, commercial traffic could be dumped into a residential neighborhood. She preferred a cul-de-sac to service the Turgeon and Fightmaster properties. \ / Planning Commission Page 3 November 18,1999 Kim Stewart 11700 West 46th Avenue Chair MACDOUGALL asked if there were others present who wished to address this matter. There was no response. Commissioner SNOW moved and Commissioner THOMPSON seconded that option A (cul-de-sac from 44th Avenue in Swadley alignment) be adopted as access to the parcels tinder consideration. motion because there is not enough information at this time and as properties are developed, better consideration could be given to the traffic situation. In response to a question from Commissioner THOMPSON, Mr. White stated that the traffic analysis determined that 46th Avenue could handle the traffic from the developments (ie., Turgeon and Fightmaster properties). Commissioner THOMPSON stated that she would like assurance that the cul-de-sac bulb would never open up to service other development. Planning Commission Page 4 November 18,1999 Alan White suggested a conceptual plan that would provide for any future development along 44th Avenue to have access to 44th. Commissioner GOKEY stated he would not support the motion because a traffic study had been done and the plan was approved based on that information. He did not support any of the three alternatives. favored the idea of approving a conceptual, rather than specific, plan, The motion failed by a vote of 2 to 4 with Commissioners BRINKMAN, GOKEY, DOYLE and THOMPSON voting no and Commissioner COLLINS absent. Commissioner DOYLE suggested that, after hearing public discussion, Tabor be widened and a traffic light be placed at 44th. Commissioner BRINKMAN moved and Commissioner GOKEY seconded that a recommendation be made to City Council that a traffic light be placed at 44th and Planning Commission and Public Works Department consider the widening of Tabor. Commissioner SNOW stated that, although she would support the motion, she did not feel that this presented a solution for pending development but would be helpful in alleviating current traffic problems. The motion passed 6-0 with Commissioner COLLINS absent. It was moved by Commissioner THOMPSON and seconded by Commissioner BRINKMAN that if a curl -de-sac is built on the Turgeon property, it will never open to the south to tie into West 44th Avenue resulting in a through street. The motion passed by a vote of 5 to 1, with Commissioner GOKEY voting no and Commissioner COLLINS absent. Planning Commission Page 5 November 18, 1999 Commissioner SNOW moved and Commissioner GOKEY seconded that the police department make efforts to enforce the weight and speed limits and that a weight limit sign be placed on Tabor.

The credit union is presently located on the Luthern/Exempla campus. The remainder • the structure will be available for speculative lease. Building coverage proposed is roughly 17%, with landscaped coverage and hard surfaced coverage at 33% and 49%, respectively. The building will • one story in height (not to exceed 18') and will be built of split-faced block with brick accents. Adequate parking has been provided for the use. A 20'right -of- way dedication will be required for Wadsworth Blvd. Sole access • the property is from W. 35 Avenue with parking in front of the building along Wadsworth Blvd.. A drive-up lane for the ATM (located on the north side of the building) will occ along the east side (rear) ♦ the structure. Buffering for the adjacent residence will be provided by a high solid wall and a 6wide strip of landscaping. I 1111IIIII11111g! A meeting for neighborhood input was held on August 25, 1999. The following persons were in attendance: • 832= NONNI IIIII IIIIIIIIII III IIII III lI 11 1111 111 11111 IIII�Irl IIIIIIIII IIIIIIII US !I l�! I ii' i WE Based on the number of questions left unanswered, an additional neighborhood meeting was held on September i llowing persons were in attendance: Jackie Ingenthrone and Vince Guerrie - 7575 W. 35 "' Avenue Marlin Wineberg - 7500 W. 35 I Avenue Will the credit union's ATM be available to the general public? Yes. Will there be drive up tellers? 1'o. Will there be security lights? Yes. Could the ATM be moved to the west side of the building eliminating the need for the rear drive up lane? Can the trash dmpster be moved away from the eastern property line? Can the drive - through be eliminated? Could the 6' high fence be built higher? Drainage. 1. The existing zone classification currently recorded on the official zoning maps of the City of Wheat Ridge is in error. There is no mistake on the City of Wheat Ridge zoning maps. 3. That the change of zone is in conformance, or will bring the property into conformance, with the City of Wheat Ridge Comprehensive Plan goals, objectives and policies, comprehensive land use plan and 1 ther related policies or plans for the area. 5. That there will be social, recreational, physical and/or economic benefits to the community derived by the change of,zone. There are no obvious recreational benefits as a result of the zone change. Because the primary tenant in the building is currently in Wheat Ridge (on the LMC/Exempla campus) no "new money" will be brought into the City. There could be physical benefits derived based on the that an "eyesore" property will be developed and the noise and visual buffering the structure could provide the residents to the east. I Based on industry recognized standards, a typical residence generates 10- 12 vehicle trips per day. The construction of two units on the property would result in 20 - 24 trips per day. No infonnation has been provided regarding potential number of vehicle trips for the credit union. • 11111111111 i I Ili tir;'Iii 9. That the zoning will not create an isolated or spot zone district unrelated to adjacent or nearby areas. zoning is not a concern. 10. That there is a void in an area or community need that the change of zone will fill by proviM ing for necessary services, products or facilities especially appropriate at the location, considering available alternatives. It is impossible for Staff to ascertain whether there is a void in the market for buildings with t specific user in mind at this location.
