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 Existing & Proposed Land Use The applicant, Wild B.I.R.D., is requesting a Special Use Permit to develop the property at 11480 W. 44` Avenue for the purpose of establishing a wild bird rescue and rehabilitation facility (Exhibit 1, Letter of Request). The applicant is proposing to move from a location in Denver to Wheat Ridge. The subject property is zoned Agricultural -One (A -1), and surrounding parcels include a variety of land uses and zoning designations (Exhibit 2, Zoning Map). To the east is a parcel with split zoning (C -1 and A -2) where the Best Friends Pet Care is located on the back half of the parcel. To the northwest is a small parcel zoned Neighborhood Commercial (NC) with a single -story retail building. To the west and south are undeveloped parcels zoned A -1 and located in the City's Clear Creek open space; these include Prospect Lake and the Clear Creek Trail. Directly across the street on the north Case No. SUP -13 -01 / Wild B.LR.D. side of W. 44"' Avenue are two parcels zoned Restricted Commercial (RC) including an equipment rental business and a Comeast office building. The applicant, Wild B.I.R.D., is proposing to develop the property for the purpose of establishing a wild bird rescue and rehabilitation facility. Wild B.I.R.D. is a nonprofit organization that is licensed through federal and state agencies to rehabilitate wild birds. They typically treat about 3000 birds each year including song birds and migratory birds which are brought to the facility by the Denver Zoo, local animal control divisions, Denver Water, and local citizens. Raptors such as hawks or owls are transported to a different organization, Birds of Prey, which is based in Broomfield. Wild B.I.R.D. depends largely on volunteer staff but also works with a licensed rehabilitator who can treat injured birds. The birds are kept at the facility until they are stabilized and gain enough strength to be released. Most birds are released close to where they were found. The existing barn is proposed to be repaired and utilized for storage in the upper level and for the keeping of ducks and geese on the lower level. The northern portion of the site adjacent to W. 44" Avenue will include a parking lot to accommodate staff and volunteers. The remainder of the site will include landscaping or be undevelopedwWAINUM. The land use category "dog kennels, catteries, veterinary hospitals" is classified as a special use. Because the applicant's proposal is most similar to this use, an SUP is required. An analysis of the SUP evaluation criteria is provided in the next section. Code Analysis—Chapter 4 Section 4-14 (exotic or wild animals) of the City Code prohibits owning, possessing, harboring, selling or trafficking any exotic or wild animals. Pursuant to Section 4-14(b) the Animal Welfare & Control Commission has the authority to grant exceptions to this prohibition. Case Xa SUP -13 -011 IfildBIRD, 3 Wild animals are defined as any animal other than those expressly defined as domestic animals. Per Section 4-14(d), those animals considered by the code to be domestic include the following: Specific animals enumerated (1) The following are domestic animals: Aquarium fishes. Psitocine birds, aviary finches, etc., farm birds (ducks, geese, swans, poultry). Domestic rabbit (Ot:yctolagus cuniculus). Mongolian gerbil (Meriones unguicularus). Guinea pig (Cavia porceilus). Hamster (Musorcriectus auralus). Domestic laboratory mouse (Mus domesticus). Domestic laboratory rat (Ratters ravus Albino strain). Domestic cat (,delis caters). Domestic dog Canis Armiliaris). Domestic livestock, including, but not limited to: Horses, cattle, sheep, goats, mules, donkeys, burros, llamas, honeybees, and swine (except potbellied pigs, Sus scroM vittatus, which is an imported variety of swine and which shall be considered exotic animals). Because there is the possibility that the applicant will be treating some birds that are classified as wild birds at the proposed facility the applicant is seeking an exemption from the prohibition. Beyond local law, state and federal laws strictly regulate the keeping of wild animals. The applicant possesses the applicable state and federal licenses issued by the Colorado Department of Natural Resources and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. On June 3, 2013 the Animal Welfare and Control Commission held a public hearing and approved an exception to allow the applicant to keep wild birds. Unlike the Special Use Pen which can be granted with no need for renewal, Section 4-14(b) restricts the approval of an AWCC exemption to 12 months with unlimited one-year renewals. The AWCC established a condition of approval that allows staff to renew the exception assuming certain criteria are met Staff uses the following criteria fi Section 26-114,13 of the City Code to evaluate special use permit requests. The Community Development Director shall base its decision in consideration of the extent to which the following criteria have been met. Staff provides the following analysis of the review criteria. The special use will not have a detrimental effect upon the general health, welfare, safeo� and convenience of persons residing or working in the neighborhood. The proposed special use will not affect the health, welfare, safety, or convenience of any person working or residing in the area. The proposed use and potential impacts are relatively compatible with surrounding land uses. Immediately to the cast is Best Friends Pet Care which offers day care, grooming, and obedience training for dogs and includes outdoor runs. Prospect Park and the Clear Creek Greenbelt are located to the south and are part of the City's parks, trails, and open Case Alo. AT- 13-01 / Wild B. LR, D. 4 space facilities. The area provides habitat for wildlife and is an appropriate neighbor for the proposed Wild B.I.R.D. facility. Currently the property to the west is undeveloped, but is also zoned A-1. There is one small multitenant commercial building to northwest, but this is buffered by the parking lot of proposed facility and will not be immediately impacted by the birds which are proposed to be kept on site. Staff finds this criterion has been met. 2. The special use will not create or contribute to blight in the neighborhood by virtue physical or operational characteristics. The property has been underutilized since the former farmhouse was damaged by a storm several years ago. The applicant is proposing to invest in the property, develop the site, and connect it to public utilities. The site is currently vacant which is more likely to contribute to blight than will the presence of a new structure, and business which should be a benefit to the area. The facility's operations are strictly regulated by state and federal agencies, both of which require licensing State licenses are reviewed and reissued on a yearly basis, and annual reporting requires detailed reports on the birds that are treated and the volunteers and staff who work at the facility. Staff finds this criterion has been met. 3. The special use will not create adverse impacts greater than allowed under existi zoning for the property. i The keeping of wild birds is not expected to result in impacts any greater than the keeping of domestic or fanri birds. Staff finds this criterion has been met. 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 proposed use will not create undue traffic congestion or hazards. Sufficient parking and loading areas will be provided on the property. Staff finds this criterion has been met. Case,Vo. SUP-13-01 / Wild X KD 5. The property is appropriately designed, including setbacks, heights, parking, Eulk, 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. The adjacent properties will be minimally impacted by the proposed special use. The site design complies with the Agricultural-One (A-1) development standards in terms of setbacks, height, and building coverage. Appropriate parking lot screening and ample landscape coverage is provided. The Architectural and Site Design Mc (A DM) does not apply to development in the A-1 zone district. Staff finds this criterion not applicable. 6. The special use will not over burden the capacities of the existing streets, utilities, parks, schools, and other public facilities and services. Staff finds this criterion has been met. 7. There is a history of compliance by the applicant and/or property owner with Co requirements and prior conditions, if any, regarding the subject property. I There is no evidence of recent code violations on the property. Staff finds this criterion has been met. • The application is in substantial compliance with the applicable standards set forth in the Architectural and Site Design Manual The Architectural and Site Design Afanual (ASDA) does not apply to development in agricultural zone districts. Staff finds this criterion is not applicable. GAMEMM Prior to submittal of an application for a Special Use Permit, the applicant was required to hold a neighborhood meeting in accordance with the requirements set in City Code, Section 26-109. A meeting for neighborhood input was held on February 6, 2013. In addition to staff and the applicant, three members of the public attended the neighborhood meeting Case No SCIP-13-01 / Ifild BIRD No comments or objections were filed during the 1 (1 -day public noticing period. All affected service agencies were contacted for comment on the proposed use and regarding the ability to serve the proposed site development. Specific referral responses follow: Wheat Ridge Community Services Unit: No objections, requested hearing before the Animal Welfare & Control Commission. Wheat Ridge Building Division: New development will require a connection to public water and sewer. Wheat Ridge Parks & Recreation Department, Forestry Division: No objections, support was expressed for the selection and variety of drought-resistant plant material.

Sections 2 -56 (Animal welfare and control commission) and 4 -14 (Exotic or wild animals) of the Wheat Ridge City Code empower the Animal Welfare & Control Commission to decide upon this application at a public hearing. II. CASE ANALYSIS Existing & Proposed Land Use The applicant, Wild B.I.R.D., is requesting a Special Use Permit from the Wheat Ridge Community Development Department to develop the property at 11480 W. 44` Avenue iai. rpose of establishing a wild bird rescue and rehabilitation facility The applicant is proposing to move from a location in Denver to Wheat Ridge. The subject property is zoned Agricultural -One (A -1), and surrounding parcels include a variety of land uses and zoning designations . To the east is a parcel with split zoning (C -1 and A -2) where the Best Friends Pet Care is located on the back half of the parcel. To the northwest is a small parcel zoned Neighborhood Commercial (NC) with a single -story retail building. To the west and south are undeveloped parcels zoned A -1, including Prospect Lake and the Clear Creek Trail. Directly across the street on the north side of W. 44` Avenue are two parcels zoned Restricted Commercial (RC) including an equipment rental business and a Comcast office building. Based on Jefferson County Assessor records, the subject parcel is just over an acre in size at 44,213 square feet. The property was originally a part of the landholding of James Baugh, an early settler in the Clear Creek Valley. A farmhouse was located on the property until 2010 when a mature tree fell through the home and it had to be removed. The on inal bam is located in the southeast corner of the property. The remainder of the lot is vacant The applicant, Wild B.I.R.D., is proposing to develop the property for the purpose of establishing a wild bird rescue and rehabilitation facility. Wild B.I.R.D. is a nonprofit organization that is licensed through federal and state agencies to rehabilitate birds of many species. They typically treat about 3,000 birds each year including song birds and migratory birds which are brought to the facility by the Denver Zoo, local animal control divisions, Denver Water, and local citizens. Raptors such as hawks or owls are transported to a different organization, Birds of Prey, which is based in Broomfield. Wild B.I.R.D. depends largely on volunteer staff but also works with a licensed rehabilitator who can treat injured birds. Birds are typically kept at the facility until they are stabilized and gain enough strength to be released. Most birds are released close to where they were found. Case No. SUP -13 -01 / Wild B. 1. R. D. The existing barn is proposed to be repaired and utilized for storage in the upper level and for the keeping of ducks and geese on the lower level. The northern portion of the site. will include a parking lot to accommodate staff and volunteers. The remainder of the site will include landscaping or be undeveloped MMMMMMM. Wild animals are defined as any animal other than those expressly classified as domestic animals, Per See. 4-14(d), those animals considered to be domestic include the following Case AV SUP- 13-01 / HIM B, I ff L) 3 Specific animals enumerated: (1) The following are domestic animals: Aquarium fishes. Psitocine birds, aviary finches, etc., farm birds (ducks, geese, swans, poultry). Domestic rabbit (Or)�clolagus cuniculus). Mongolian gerbil (Aleriones unguicularus). Guinea pig (Cdviaporceilus). Hamster (Ifusorcrieclus auratus). Domestic laboratory mouse (Mus domesticus). Domestic laboratory rat (Raitus rallus Albino strain). Domestic cat (Felix catus). Domestic dog (Lanis �yniliqris). L Domestic livestock, including, but not limited to: Horses, cattle, sheep, goats, mules, donkeys, burros, llamas, honeybees. and swine (except potbellied pigs,'Shls scrqftl vitotus, which is an imported variety of swine and which shall be considered exotic animals). Because there is the possibility that the applicant will be treating some birds that are classified as wild birds at the proposed facility, the applicant is seeking an exemption from the prohibition. Beyond local law, state and federal laws strictly regulate the keeping of wild animals. The applicant possesses the applicable state and federal licenses issued by the Colorado Department of Natural Resources and the 0 U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service NWHOOM. Case , SI/P43-tit /'JI'iIdR,[R,D. III The Animal Welfare & Control Commission shall grant exceptions to the wild animal restriction based on the two standards outlined in Section 2-56(h) of the City Code, Staff provides the following analysis of the review standards. Case,N'a SUP-13-01/ P1,71dBIRD, As mentioned above, because the applicant will also be the developer of the property, the proposed site plan is being reviewed by the Community Development Department in consideration of potential impacts and the welfare of people and surrounding neighbors. Staff finds this criterion has been met. IV. NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING & PUBLIC COMMENT Prior to submittal of an application for a Special Use Permit, the applicant was required to hold a neighborhood meeting in accordance with the requirements set in City Code, Section 26- 10q. .A meeting for neighborhood input was held on February 6, 2013.

At the time of publication of this staff report, no comments have been received. Case No. SUP -13 -01 11"ild & f R, A Qwest Communications: No comments received. NMI' Staff finds the request for an exemption from Section 4-14 of the City Code to be supported by the review standards. Staff finds that the facility balances the needs of the community and of animals by providing a public service and complying with applicable state and federal regulations. Staff also finds that the site is being designed in consideration of potential impacts on the welfare of people and surrounding neighbors. VI. SUGGESTED MOTIONS: 2. The applicant's proposal serves the welfare of wild animals and does not present a significant risk of endangering the welfare of people, due to the following: • The applicant's potential need to keep wild birds is necessary to its mission of providing medical and rehabilitation services for all birds requiring these services. Its services may enhance the welfare of countless wild animals. • The applicant works with a rehabilitator who is licensed through state and federal agencies. • The facility is not generally open to the public. Case No. SUP -J3 -01 / Wild R L R, A 7 • All volunteers and staff who work with birds must complete training and comply with Colorado Department of Parks and Wildlife regulations. With the following conditions: The approval granted shall be for an initial term of twelve (12) months from the date of this decision.

And I further direct City Staff to prepare a Findings and Decision document reflecting our decision. to be returned to the Commission for final review and approval on , 2013. " * [Should the Commission move to deny the application, the maker of tile motion should specify the factual reasons for denial and how those facts relate to these criteria: 1. The need of the applicant to keep an animal prohibited by section 4-14 of the Code shall be balanced against the need of the community to maintain itself in a healthful manner, free from unnecessary noise or other disturbance. 2. The welfare of the animal shall be considered, but the welfare of any animal shall be inferior to the welfare of any person. City Staff will then prepare detailed findings and decision, like that included under Option A.] caveAla SUP-13-01!111WBIRJ) AWCC — Public Heafing June 3, 2013 - Concludes my surnmary, I can answer any questions LETTER OF REQUEST - ------ - - ---------- -- ---- ATM all unlicensed individuals must go through a training class and si n a CDPW form, All unlicensed individuals must be under the supervision • a licensed rehabilitator at all timn�4M ne-W, - • have a licensed rehabilitator on site.

Plan: Neighborhood Commercial Corridor Based on Jefferson County Assessor records, the subject parcel is just over an acre in size at 44,213 square feet. The property was originally a part of the landholding of James Baugh, an early settler in the Clear Creek Valley. A farmhouse was located on the property until 2010 when a mature tree fell through the home and it had to be removed. The original barn is located in the southeast comer of the property. The remainder of the lot is vacant. Case,,Vo. SUP-13-01 / 011d13IR,I), 23 Raptors such as hawks or owls are transported to a dificrent organization, Birds of Prey, which is based in Broomfield. Wild B.I.R.D. depends largely on volunteer staff but also works with a licensed rehabilitator who can treat irxjurcd birds. They are kept at the facility until they are stabilized and gain enough strength to be released. Most birds are released close to where they were found. • Staff discussed the site, its zoning and future land use. • The applicant and members of the public were informed of the process for the Special Use Permit. • The members of the public were informed of their opportunity to make comments during the process and at the public hearing, if required. • The applicant described the proposed use and history of the Wild B.I.R.D. organization.

The special use permit we approve in CommDev will likely be issued to the applicant, in which case it couldn't be inherited, but it wouldn't require renewal.

Notice, to both the public and the Applicant, must be provided as required by the Code. Typically, notice is published in a newspaper and posted on the property at issue. 3. The hearing must be electronically recorded so a transcript of the hearing may be troduced in the event of an appeal. 4. The Commission's decision on the application must be guided by: (1) the evidence and testimony provided at the hearing; (2) as applied to the approval criteria set forth in the Code. A decision that is based on facts that are not presented at the hearing or motivated by factors and reasons not authorized by the Code is not legally defensible; such a decision would be overturned on appeal. When a board or commission renders a decision on a quasi-judicial matter, we typically ask the board to direct City staff to prepare a written Findings and Decision document and to return such document to the decision-making body (quickly, within a few days or a week) for its final review and approval, The Findings and Decision document provides a more condensed and organized snapshot of the decision than a hearing transcript. Questions from the Commission The Applicant may address any issue raised by City Staff and/or cross-examine Staff Questions from the Commission City Staff may address issues raised by public testimony The Applicant may address issues raised by public testimony and/or cross-examine witnesses 5. The hearing is closed; the Commission may not receive any further evidence or testimony. 6. The Commission deliberates and renders its decision • motion (approving, conditionally approving or denying the application), further directing Staff to prepare a Findings and Decision document and to return the same to the Commission by [a specified date]. I hope you find the above information helpful as a general discussion • quasi-judicial proceedings. Our office can be present and provide further guidance, as directed, when such hearings are scheduled and conducted.

SUP and Site Plan / 2 "d Review Dear Ms. Tomlinson: This letter is in regard to your application for approval of a Special Use Permit with Site Plan for property zoned Agricultural-One (A-1) and located at 11480 W. 44"' Avenue. I have reviewed the site plan and have the following comments. Site Plan—Sheet SP- I 1. Please consider adding more space for signatures on the cover page (owner, notary, and Director of Community Development). Perhaps the case history box can be moved to make room_. Landscane Plan--Sheet L I 1. Please correct the spelling of "Sheet 2 of 2 in the bottom right corner, 2. Please remove the symbol shown for I -TCH tree on the north side of the driveway; I believe this one of the small trees that was originally proposed but is not going to be included given that the existing trees fulfill landscaping requirements. Enclosed is a copy of Dave's approvals and conditions regarding requirements in future phases of your prqject. These include the need for a Grading & Erosion Control Plan which needs to be submitted with your building permit application, and the granting of an easement for the drainage facility. Dave can provide you with our standard easement language, but your surveyor/engineer will need to create the accompanying exhibit; this occurs prior to issuance of Certificate of Occupancy. Please resubmit one digital copy in pdf format for a brief review, after which I will request one full size set for signatures. A staff report is being submitted to the Community Development Director for review. I expect him to provide a formal notice approval of the SUP within a week. Sincerely, Lauren E.

All veterinary or similar uses require a Special Use Permit in agricultural zone districts. No response from you will constitute having no objections or concerns regarding this proposal. Case No.: SUP -13 -01 /Wild B.I.R.D. Request: The applicant is requesting a Special Use Permit (SUP) to construct and operate a wild bird rescue and rehabilitation center on property at 11480 W. 44` Avenue. The site is just over one acre in size (44,213 square feet). The site is largely vacant. Up until 2010, a farmhouse had been located on the property, but it was removed after a mature tree fell through the structure; the original barn remains in the southeast corner of the property. The applicant, Wild B.I.R.D., is a nonprofit organization that is licensed through federal and state agencies to rehabilitate wild song birds and migratory birds. They typically treat about 3,000 birds each year including song birds and migratory birds which are brought to the facility by the a variety of agencies including vet clinics, animal control divisions, Denver Water, Denver Zoo, and local citizens. They do not treat raptors, such as hawks or owls. Development of the property will include a 2,500- square foot structure on the northern portion of the site for offices and indoor treatment areas. A paved parking lot will be adjacent to the new building and an access drive will extend to the existing barn at the south end of the site. The remainder of the site will be open space. Not shown on the site plan are the several flight cages which will house birds outside. Flight cages are generally located on unimproved surfaces and range in size from about 50 to 600 square feet. They will be located in the interior portion of the site. Please respond to this request in writing regarding your ability to serve the property. Please specify any new infrastructure needed or improvements to existing infrastructure that will be required. Include any easements that will be essential to serve the property as a result of this development. Please detail the requirements for development in respect to your rules and regulations.

The type of material may be selected by the owner, and the exact placement may need to be field determined as the clay lens may vary slightly, The idea here is to prevent any rnulch, erosional debris, or other non-porous material (such as the clay layer above it) and landscaping materials from entering into the pond bottom which may over tirne prevent full infiltration functionality. 6.

Hand watering will work if there is monitoring of the plant material in a sufficient interval to sustain the plants, This sufficient interval depends on a lot of components: Type of plants, their placement, their size, the typ,,e of soil theki are $lanted into,, exiviosure,.,-iLittLu�kmqwttftAuu*yw-I t)u mulch is maintained, the time of year of the installation and the weather conditions not only immediately after the al planting but stretching out for a few years during their establishment period. So I would suggest more frequent than weekly monitoring_ plants can go down quickly without sufficient observation/action. This might include addressing disease and insect or pest problems including (geese, rabbits and voles) attacking the plant material. Possibly stating watering as needed instead of weekly. Knowing the proposed location of the flight cage it is less of a concern but we will still try and be good neighbors and alert them to our activities if possible.

Plan: Neighborhood Commercial Corridor used on Jefferson County Assessor records, the subject parcel is just over an acre in size at 44,213 square feet. The property was originally a part of the landholding of James Baugh, an early settler in the Clear Creek Valley. A farmhouse was located on the property until 201 when a mature tree fell through the home and it had to be removed, The original ba► is located in the southeast comer of the property. The remainder of the lot is vacant. N The applicant inquired regarding an access drive to from the parking lot to the barn. If this drive is not publicly accessible, it may be permissible to pave it with recycled asphalt (commonly referred to as RAP). Please see section 26-502 (attached) for the minimum size of plants and other materials. Setback-s and Develoj,)ment Slandw Section 26-213 establishes minimum development standards for the A- I zone district. The following is a summary of those requirements: Agricultural -one ura Maximum Height j(A-I�) DeveiiopinenitiStandiardsiij Maximum Building Coverage Setbacks orth 30 feet minimum South 15 feet minimum East 15 feet minimum Please note that maximum height is measured from the average elevation of the finished grade of the building to either: a) the highest point of the roof surface for a flat roof, or b) to the deck line of a mansard roof, or c) to the mean height level between eaves and ridge for a gable, hip, gambrel or other roof. Total building coverage would include the footprints of the new enclosed building and the existing barn. This calculation would not include the flight cages for which the floor is bare ground with no foundation. Architectural and Site Desi M i Manual The Architectural and Site Design Manual (ASDM) does not apply to new development in agricultural zone districts. There are no architectural standards for the proposed buildings. The applicant expressed interest in locating the primary entrance on the west side of the building. This is permitted; because the ASDM does not apply. the primary entrance on the building is not required the face north. Historic Barn The barn on the south side of the property was granted local historical designation in 1998 (per Case No. WHL-98-01). The barn is referred to as the Joy Williams Barn, and it is located on property that was once owned by James Baugh, an early settler in the Clear Creek Valley. Article IX of the zoning code addresses preservation of historic landmarks. Routine maintenance of historic landmark is permitted so long as the proposed work does not adversely affect the character or special historical and architectural nature of the building. Extensive alteration of the barn or removal of the historic designation would require an application process.

Public Works comments: Public Works was present and the following items were discussed based on the applicant's proposal: ,SIreetscalle Landscaping along the W, 44' Avenue frontage is dictated by the City's &ree1scqpe Des•gn Manual. In order to promote high-quality, multi-modal streets throughout Wheat Ridge this manual establishes design standards for the City's commercial corridors. New development along collector and arterial streets requires installation of public improvements. The standard street section for the W. 44' Avenue is a 6-foot detached sidewalk and 6-foot amenity zone or tree lawn. Because the frontage along the street is so narrow, the applicant is given the option to pay a fee instead of construct the improvements. 'Phis fee is estimated by the Public Works Department based on an estimated lot width. The fee is $5,510.19 and would be due at the time the building permit is issued. A breakdown of cost is attached, it may be modified if the site survey indicates a different frontage width. Alternatively, tile applicant could install the new sidewalk and tree lawn based on the standards outlined in the, 'treetscapv De•igm XkmuaL The entire Sireetscal)e Design Minual is available for download from the City's website, and standards for W. 44 Avenue are , discussed on pages 15-16: htt. 1 /ssF F.ci,w= catrids,,)e.co.us/DocutticutCenter,/floine/View`/2742 m City Council will approve, approve with conditions, oi den y the project based on the testimonies given by staff. applicant, and the public.

Concerns would be that they are not released on to the Greenbelt repeatedly possibly stipulating that they be re- released back from where they came. And the birds with diseases are properly quarantined and are also not released locally I'm sure there should be a some written guidelines for operating facilities of this nature and possibly they are regulated by the State? I'd need to do some research.

Quick question for you. I have been in touch with a woman from the Wild Bird Rehab httD://wildbirdrehab.com) who is looking for a new property for the business. They are interested in the site at 11480 W W Avenue (the property where the tree had fallen through the house), It is zoned Agricultural-One (A-1) so this use would require a special use permit (SUP) which I think our staff would support especially given that there is a dog kennel next door, Given the proximity to the park, Prospect Lake, and possible wild bird populations, I wanted to see if you had any comments. It's my understanding that the organization takes in and cares for a whole range of birds (pelicans, hummingbirds, ducks, geese, songbirds, etc) but not and hawks or #wls Lauren Mikulak From: Tomlinson, Candace <Candace,Tomlinson@flightsafety,com> Sent: Friday, October 19, 2012 1:42 PM To: Lauren Mikulak Subject: Narrative for Wild Bird Pre-application meeting Per our rewest, here ii t ir 1, 7,, L Al I RP ME: ''Iffl!

I am attaciiing a parcel map from the Assessor which includes approximate property line dimensions (highlighted). Presumably these dimensions are obtained from recorded deeds. I also have two aerial images for you that are scaled. If printed on 11x17 paper at 100% (actual size), the scale is I"= 40' orl"=30'respectively. You'll notice that the aerials are old it still shows the former home with the tree that fell on it. I'm going to send these two aerials in subsequent emails because I think I recall you saying your email has a size limit on attachments. R Original Narrative (Nov 2012) We are applying for a special use permit for the property at 11480 W. 44 1h Ave. Wheat Ridge CO 80033. Additional Information (Jan 2013) As far as buildings are concerned, we are looking at using mobile office/construction trailers at this point. We just don't have enough time to design and build a permanent structure, get utilities installe move, and be ready to start operations in April. I will be checking with zoning on what needs to be do in this regard. But we can certainly come up with a site plan that shows where we would place the mobile office trailers and our outdoor flight cages. Note: The applicant has been made aware that temporary buildings are only permitted through a TUP and onlyfor a period up to one year, This will need to be discussed at the pre-app in addition to the SUP requiredfor the use.
