approved as proposed by Staff, based upon the following conclusions 1 The major anticipated land use did not materialize, nor is it reasonably anticipated for the future 2 The City has constructed the north 1-70 Frontage Road with full connection between Kipling Street and Ward Road, which meets one of the primary purposes of the 50th/52nd Avenue connection 3 The City of Arvada's Ridge Center Development Plan already illustrates access directly to Kipling at West 54th Avenue and to Ward Road via West 52nd Avenue, therefore, West 50th Avenue WOuld not be essential 4 So long as the corridor remains on the Major Streets Plan, property owners cannot plan for development of their property without dedication and construction of portions of the proposed street 5 There continues to be a need for local street connection 6 The Public Works Director has reviewed this proposal to amend and agrees with the recommendations 7 Staff has not received any negative comments from area property
