They are looking potential water saving landscaping options on their eastern elevation. In conversations with their architect, Brad Bonnet with Allred and Assoc., I have informed them that we do not allow astro- turf or other artificial turf products. While Comm Dev encourages water conservation through landscape design, we also require all live landscaping to be automatically sprinklered. I told them that you may have suggestions regarding low water use seed mixes. I also indicated that they are permitted to have up to 35% of their landscaping to be non - living. Can you contact Sparky Shriver at 30- 472 -1650? Let me know if you have any questions.

WZ -10 -03 /SKYLINE ESTATES #3) ® PUBLIC HEARING ❑ ORDINANCES FOR 1 READING (06/14/2010) ❑ BIDS/MOTIONS ® ORDINANCES FOR 2 READING (06/28/2010) ❑ RESOLUTIONS QUASI - JUDICIAL: ® YES ❑ NO _0& Lk r! Community Develop ent Direct City Manager ISSUE: The applicant is requesting approval of an amendment to a Planned Industrial Development (PID) Outline Development Plan (ODP) for property located at 5250 Oak Street for construction of a public fire station. This case is being processed with a "specific' ODP which is the last step of the planned development zone change process. If approved, the applicant can proceed to administrative Final Development Plan (FDP) and building permit. The Planning Commission recommended approval of this request at a public hearing held on May 20, 2010. PRIOR ACTION: The property in question was part of a 17.67 acre tract which was rezoned from Agriculture -One (A -1) to Planned Residential Development (PRD) and Planned Industrial Development (PID) in 2003 as Skyline Estates, Filing 3. A subsequent subdivision plat for the entire development and Council Action Form - Case No. WZ -10 -03 June 28, 2010 Page 2 a Final Development Plan (FDP) for the residential portion was approved in 2004. The portion zoned PID (subject parcel) is currently vacant, while the residential portion of the development is built -out. In 2009, the property was subject to a zone change process which was approved to add an additional permitted use (public fire station) with a conceptual ODP. City Council held a public hearing and approved the request on March 8, 2010. The applicant, Arvada Fire Protection District (AFPD), is requesting approval of a specific ODP so they can proceed to administrative FDP and building permit. Planning Commission reviewed the subject application at a public hearing held on May 20, 2010 and gave a recommendation of approval for the following reasons: 1. It will allow AFPD to proceed to the administrative FDP stage and building permit. 2. The proposed ODP amendment for a specific plan is consistent with the standards established on the underlying plan. 3. The proposed use will provide a buffer and land use transition from the industrial uses on the south side of Ridge Road to the residential neighborhood to the north. 4. The evaluation criteria support approval of the request. With the following conditions: 1. The title of the document be modified to be Amendment No. 2. 2. Public Works' suggested language regarding an emergency signal be added to the plan. 3. On the elevation sheet, the reference to EIFAS be changed to stucco. The applicant has incorporated all of the recommended conditions of approval into the plan set being reviewed at the June 28 public hearing. FINANCIAL IMPACT: One -time fees for the zone change were submitted with the application. A future application for administrative FDP will require a new application and processing fees. Building permit fees and use tax will be assessed at the time of building permit. BACKGROUND: The property in question is zoned Planned Industrial Development (PID) having been rezoned from A -1, Agriculture -One, in 2003. Of the total 17.67 acres of Skyline Estates Filing 3, the northern 14.49 acres were rezoned to Planned Residential Development (PRD), with the southern 2.79 acres zoned PID (subject property). An ODP plan was approved which set allowable uses and general development parameters for the two different zonings within the development. The property was subsequently subdivided into 38 parcels with the northern 37 being developed into a single family residential neighborhood. All public improvements associated with the Council Action Form - Case No. WZ -10 -03 June 28, 2010 Page 3 development, including the installation of curb, gutter and sidewalk and detention/drainage facilities were constructed with the residential portion. While permitted uses and design parameters were established for the PID zoned lot, no development of the property occurred and it remains vacant. In the spring of 2010, City Council approved a request to add the use of a public fire station to the list of permitted uses in the ODP pursuant to Case No. WZ- 09 -09. The proposed specific ODP document which is included in Council's June 28 packet contains the following four sheets: 1). declaration page /certifications, 2). list of uses and detailed site plan, 3). exterior elevations, and 4). perspective drawing. The existing site plan for the property (sheet 2) is a refinement of the "sketch plan" included on the recently approved conceptual ODP document. All minimum development standards required by the conceptual ODP have been met including minimum landscaped coverage, maximum building coverage and the 35' height limitation. The one exception is the requirement for transparency for commercial and industrial development specified in the Architectural and Site Design Manual (ASDM). The ASDM provides "transparency of ground floor facades facing any street or pedestrian way, regardless of distance, shall be at least 60% and not more than 85 %. ...... for corner lots, the minimum percentage of transparency can be allocated from one street fagade to another. At no time can the percentage of transparency on a street frontage be less than 30 %." The applicant has provided an analysis of the transparency and indicates that it is 14% on the north - facing elevation, 20% on the south - facing elevation and 19.4% on the facade facing Oak Street. The transparency standard in the manual has been written for a retail context and does not lend itself to this type of quasi - public facility. In addition, the property has three street frontages which could be considered a hardship. Because this is a planned development, there is flexibility in application of the standards. Given the unusual site conditions and residential building appearance, Staff is comfortable with the reduction in transparency as other requirements in the ASDM have been exceeded. The application has been through a standard City and outside agency referral process. No issues of concern have been raised. Public Works has requested specific language be incorporated into the plan set regarding the potential need for a future emergency signal at the Ridge Road/Oak Street intersection. That language has been added to the ODP plans. The Planning Commission staff report and minutes are attached for additional background on this application. Council Action Form - Case No. WZ -10 -03 June 28, 2010 Page 4 RECOMMENDATION: Prior to proceeding to the Final Development Plan stage and building permit, an amended Outline Development Plan document must be approved which is consistent with the provisions for a specific ODP. Staff has concluded that the criteria used to evaluate a zone change request support approval of this application. Staff is giving a recommendation of approval for the following reasons: • There have been changes to the area due to the construction of the three filings of the Skyline Estates residential community. • The application is consistent with several of the identified goals in the Comprehensive Plan. • The use will have less of an impact than what could be built on the property under the existing zoning conditions. • All infrastructure is already in place. • There will be a positive impact on the health, safety and welfare of residences and businesses in the area due to better emergency response times and proximity of the new station. • Staff concludes that the plan amendment meets or exceeds the development standards established by the conceptual ODP. • Although the application does not meet the transparency requirements specified in the ASDM, there are other requirements which have been exceeded.

Reckert DATE OF MEETING: May 20, 2010 CASE NO. & NAME: WZ -10 -03 /Skyline Estates #3 ACTION REQUESTED: Approval of an amendment to a PID Outline Development Plan LOCATION OF REQUEST: 5250 Oak Street APPLICANT: PROPERTY OWNER: PRESENT ZONING: CURRENT USE: ENTER INTO RECORD: COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ZONING ORDINANCE Arvada Fire Protection District Same PID, Planned Industrial Development Vacant CASE FILE & PACKET MATERIALS DIGITAL PRESENTATION Planning Commission 1 WZ- 10- 03/A"D ATTACHMENT 3 All notification and posting requirements have been met; therefore, there is jurisdiction to hear this case. I. REQUEST This application is for approval of an amendment to an existing Planned Industrial Development Outline Development Plan (ODP) for property located at 5250 Oak Street. In order for the applicant to proceed to the Final Development Plan (FDP) stage and building permit, an amendment to the approved ODP plan, which is conceptual, must be processed in accordance with Article III of the zoning and development code. This application must be consistent with the requirements for a specific ODP as outlined under section 26- 308.C. II. EXISTING CONDITIONS/PROPERTY HISTORY The property which was originally comprised of 17.67 acres was rezoned and subdivided in 2003. The plat showed 38 lots of which 37 lots were zoned PRD and approved for single family residential development. The remaining lot which is the subject .site, was zoned Planned Industrial Development. The plat for the original development accommodated street dedication for all streets in the development including Oak, Nelson and 53 Avenue. Drainage and open space tracts dispersed through the development were also reserved. All improvements were constructed with the residential portion of the development, in addition to drainage improvements on the subject site including a large detention easement along the west and a conveyance channel for the Columbine Basin adjacent to Ridge Road. In 2009, the property was subject to a zone change process which was approved to add an additional permitted use (public fire station). A conceptual ODP was approved which accompanied the modification to the existing zoning on the property. Although more information was provided than needed for the conceptual ODP, some of the technical requirements weren't included in the application, therefore it was considered conceptual. (Exhibit 1, conceptual ODP) As such, the following note was included on the plan face. "This outline development plan is conceptual in nature. Specific development elements such as site layout and building architecture have not been addressed on this document. As a result, a non- administrative amendment to this outline development plan must be submitted and approved by the City of Wheat Ridge prior to the submittal of a final development plan and any subsequent site development. " No other modifications were made to the original Outline Development Plan which was reviewed by Planning Commission and recommended for approval at a public hearing on January 21, 2010. (Exhibit 2, Planning Commission minutes) City Council approved the request on March 8, 2010. (Exhibit 3, City Council minutes) Planning Commission WZ- 10- 03 /AFPD II1. AMENDED OUTLINE DEVELOPMENT PLAN The proposed amended ODP document contains the following four sheets: 1). declaration page /certifications, 2). list of uses and detailed site plan, 3). exterior elevations, and 4). perspective drawing. (Exhibit 4, Amended ODP) Allowable Uses: Permitted uses on the property detailed on page 2 include vet clinics, general retail including furniture and grocery stores, and several light industrial uses such as office /warehouses. The 2009 ODP amendment added fire stations as a permitted use. Site Plan, Access, Parking and Circulation: The existing site plan for the property (sheet 2) is a refinement of the "sketch plan" included on sheet 4 of the existing ODP document. The structure is located in the southern portion of the lot with one -way circulation in and out from Oak Street. The plan envisions fire trucks circulating into the northern access point, entering the rear of the building through overhead doors and exiting from the front through another set of overhead doors onto Oak Street. Employee parking is proposed off the northern entrance with public parking off of the southern drive (exit) to Oak. The southern curb cut is large enough to accommodate two -way traffic. The proposed driveways will cross a 50' wide drainage easement adjacent to Oak Street via culverts. The streets surrounding the property (53` Avenue, Oak Street and Ridge road) have been improved with curb, gutter and sidewalk. Pedestrian access into the site is provided at the south side of the southern curb cut to Oak which has the closest proximity to the front door of the station. A preliminary traffic study was submitted and approved by Public Works with this application. Although an emergency access signal for fire trucks at the Oak/Ridge Road intersection is not needed at this time, they have suggested modified language be added regarding future installation at the expense of the Fire District, if warranted. This note should read as follows: "If the Arvada Fire Protection District determines that a traffic control signal for emergency vehicle access is justified at the intersection of Ridge Road and Oak Street in accordance with Chapter 4G of the MUTCD, before the intersection meets the warrants of Chapter 4C of the MUTCD, then the full cost of the design and installation of the traffic control signal shall be the sole responsibility of the Arvada Fire Protection District." Landscaping: The existing ODP set the minimum amount of landscaping at 20 %. The landscaped coverage depicted on the site plan is 66.1 %. Amore detailed landscape plan will be required at the time of administrative FDP approval. Building Height/Minimum Setbacks: Consistent with the previous ODP for the property, a maximum building height is specified as 35'. The building is roughly 28' in height measured at mid -roof for the highest roofline of the structure. Development Standards: The development standards depicted in the table below are shown as minimum standards on the conceptual ODP. The table provides a comparison with what's provided or required by the existing ODP and what is being shown on the proposed amended ODP. Planning Commission WZ- 10- 03 /AFPD Development Standard Conceptual ODP Specific ODP Min. Front setback (west side) 50' 69.5' Min. Side setback (north side) 30' 121.75' Min. Side setback (south side) 30' 645 Min. landscaping 20% 66.1% Max. coverage by building and p avin g 80% 33.9% Parking 11 required 16 rovided Fencing Per section 26 -603 complies Signa e Per Article VII complies Architecture Per ASDM See discussion below Lighting will be reviewed at the time of Final Development Plan with submission of a lighting and photometric plan. A detailed landscape plan will also be reviewed at the time of FDP submittal. Architectural Elevations: The Architectural and Site Design Manual (ASDM) requires careful and purposeful architectural considerations be taken into account to ensure that any newly constructed building will be of quality design and contain differing levels of architectural interest. These requirements apply to all new development except single and two family residences. Staff has reviewed the ASDM and done an analysis with the commercial /industrial standards and has concluded the following: • An internal pedestrian connection has been provided from the public street (Oak) to and around the structure. • A significant pedestrian entry feature for the primary entrance has been provided. • Variations in plane depth have been provided for each 50 linear feet of building facade. • Building facade articulation features include changes of material, accent banding, reveals and roof overhang variations. • A variety of materials are provided including brick, stucco and stone. • Mechanical equipment is screened by brick walls. • Landscaped buffers exceeding 10' have been provided along all street frontages. • Signage is minimal and has been integrated into the brick wall system around the building. The structure however, does not meet the standard for transparency. The ASDM provides "transparency of ground floor facades facing any street or pedestrian way, regardless of distance, shall be at least 60% and not more than 85 %. ...... for corner lots, the minimum percentage of transparency can be allocated from one street faqade to another. At no time can the percentage of transparency on a street frontage be less than 30%." The applicant has provided an analysis of the transparency and indicates that it is 14% on the north- facing elevation, 20% on the south - facing elevation and 19.4% on the facade facing Oak Street. (Exhibit 5, Transparency analysis) The applicant has included a rationale for their design and the resultant transparency. (Exhibit 6, Applicant response) Planning Commission 4 WZ- 10- 03 /AFPD In review of this standard in the manual, it appears to have been written for a retail situation and does not lend itself to this type of quasi - public facility. In addition, the property has three street frontages which could be considered somewhat of a hardship. Because this is a planned development, there is flexibility in application of the standards. Given the unusual site conditions and residential building appearance, Staff is comfortable with the reduction in transparency as other requirements in the ASDM have been exceeded. IV. ZONE CHANGE CRITERIA Because an amendment to an existing ODP is processed as a rezoning, Staff has provided an analysis of the zone change criteria. The Planning Commission shall base its recommendation in consideration of the extent to which the following criteria have been met: 1. The existing zone classification currently recorded on the official zoning maps of the City of Wheat Ridge is in error; There is not a mistake on the official city maps. The property is zoned Planned Industrial Development. 2. A change in character in the area has occurred due to installation of public facilities, other zone changes, new growth trends, deterioration, or development transitions, There have been changes to the area due to the construction of the three filings of the Skyline Estates residential community. When the filing in Wheat Ridge was in process, the City of Arvada had zoned the southern portion of Skyline #2 directly to the west as Industrial. When the zone change for filing No. 3 (subject property) was submitted to the City of Wheat Ridge, it was logical to extend the Arvada zoning with industrial uses adjacent to Ridge Road. Subsequent to the City's approval, the Arvada property was rezoned to PUD -R (9.2 units /acre). The Arvada property has now been partially developed with multi- family residential development. Ridge Road is classified a collector street. The most recent traffic count (2008) indicates 3732 vehicle trips per day on this section. This is also a corridor for the Fastracks Goldline commuter rail line planned for construction in 2016. The rail corridor will provide commuter rail service to downtown Denver from stations in Arvada and Wheat Ridge. City staff has been working with RTD on design of the station site at Ward and 50` Other changes in the area include the continued development of the Arvada Ridge development which will have a light rail stop at the northern end. Staff concludes that this criterion has been met. The Planning Commission shall also find that the evidence supports the finding of at least four of the following: a. 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, and other related policies or plans for the area; Planning Commission 5 WZ-10- 03 /AFPD The property is designated as an Employment area on the Comprehensive Plan Structure Plan transitioning to Established Neighborhoods to the north. Employment areas are described as existing light manufacturing, storage, warehouse, and other industrial- related uses where adequate screening is provided for adjacent residential neighborhoods. While the proposed fire station use does not fit a typical industrial project, it will provide jobs for area residents. Other goals being met include the transportation strategy to coordinate transit service with new redevelopment sites and the community service strategy to coordinate with non -city service providers to encourage residential design for their facilities and to provide buffering for adjacent residential neighborhoods. Staff concludes that this criterion has been met. b. The proposed change of zone is compatible with the surrounding area and there will be minimal adverse impacts considering the benefits to be derived; The property is zoned industrially and allows a list of permitted uses which include office /warehouse, screened outside storage, light manufacturing and assembly. While there is heavy industrial development located directly to the south across Ridge Road, there is adjacent residential development on three sides. A fire station may have impacts such as noise and large vehicles entering and exiting the site; however, the use is less impactive than what could be built on the property under the existing zoning conditions. The fire station will serve as a transition and buffer from the heavy industrial uses to the south. The station has been designed to be visually compatible with the adjacent residential development. Staff concludes that this criterion has been met. C. There will be social, recreational, physical and/or economic benefits to the community derived by the change of zone; There have already been physical benefits associated with the development due to the construction of public improvements along all four street frontages adjacent to the site. Other than one -time fees for construction of the building, economic benefits to the city will be minim Staff concludes that this criterion has been met. d. Adequate infrastructure/facilities are available to serve the type of uses allowed by the change of zone, or that the applicant will upgrade and provide such where they do not exist or are under capacity; All infrastructure is already in place. The applicant will be responsible for any other utility upgrades for the site upon development. Staff concludes that this criterion has been met. Planning Conunission WZ- 10- 03 /AFPD e. The change of zone will not adversely affect public health, safety or welfare by creating excessive traffic congestion, creating drainage problems, or seriously reducing light and air to adjacent properties; The architectural design drawings of the structure on sheets 3 and 4 of the plan set indicate that the station will have a residential appearance with varied rooflines and brick facades. All drainage improvements on the property have already been constructed so this should not be a concern. A preliminary drainage report has been reviewed and approved. Traffic to the site is limited to Oak Street. A preliminary traffic analysis submitted with this application has indicated that an emergency signal at the intersection of Oak and Ridge Road is not needed at this time. Public Works has suggested language that should be added to the plan as a note. There will be a positive impact on the health, safety and welfare of residences and businesses in the area due to better emergency response times and proximity of the new station. Staff concludes that this criterion has been met. 3. The application is in substantial compliance with the applicable standards set forth in the Architectural and Site Design Manual. The applicant has submitted an application for a specific ODP which requires analysis with the commercial and industrial standards in the ASDM. Staff has concluded that aside from the transparency requirements, the elevations and site design are consistent or exceed the standards required in the Architectural and Site Design Manual. Staff concludes that this criterion has been met. V. NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING The required pre - application meeting for neighborhood input was held on March 21, 2010. There were no representatives from the neighborhood in attendance. VI. AGENCY REFERRALS A referral was sent out based regarding the request with responses below. Arvada Fire Protection District: Currently serving the property from stations located at 12195 W. 52 "d Avenue and 7900 W. 57 Avenue. Valley Water District: Can serve the property subject to improvements. Additional looped water main lines, fire hydrants and fire sprinkler lines may be needed to be installed at the owners' expense. Qwest Communications: Can serve Xcel Energy: Can serve Planning Commission WZ-10- 03 /AFPD Wheat Ridge Public Works: Has reviewed and approved preliminary drainage report and traffic analysis. They are requesting the following note be added to the ODP: "If the Arvada Fire Protection District determines that a traffic control signal for emergency vehicle access is justified at the intersection of Ridge Road and Oak Street in accordance with Chapter 4G of the MUTCD, before the intersection meets the warrants of Chapter 4C of the MUTCD, then the full cost of the design and installation of the traffic control signal shall be the sole responsibility of the Arvada Fire Protection District." VII. STAFF CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATION Staff has concluded that prior to proceeding to the Final Development Plan stage and building permit, an amended ODP document must be approved which is consistent with the provisions for a specific outline development plan. With the exception of fagade transparency, Staff concludes that the plan amendment meets or exceeds the development standards established by the original ODP and that the zone change evaluation criteria support approval of this request. For these reasons, a recommendation of approval with conditions is given as detailed in the recommended motion. VIII.

There was no one present to address the Commission. 7. PUBLIC BEARING A. Case No. WZ -09 -09 — An application filed by Arvada Fire Protection District for approval of an Outline Development Plan amendment to allow a fire station on property zoned Planned Industrial Development (PID) and located at 5250 Oak Street. The case was presented by Meredith Reckert. She entered all pertinent documents into the record and advised the Commission there was jurisdiction to hear the case. She reviewed the staff report and digital presentation. Staff concluded that the proposed modification to the original uses specified on the Skyline Estates Filing 3 ODP must be processed as a zone change and that criteria used to evaluate a change of zoning conditions supports approval of the modification for this lot only. A recommendation of approval was given with conditions as outlined in the staff report. Commissioner BRINKMAN asked if staff believed parking to be adequate. Ms. Reckert replied that this is a different situation than most parking requirements and would be examined more closely at the time of specific design. Commissioner HOLLENDER asked what would happen to the existing detention ponds. Ms. Reckert stated that these ponds are regional and serve the developments. A drainage plan will have to be approved. In response to questions from Commissioner TIMMS, Ms. Reckert explained that a photometric plan will be required at time of development. In regard to landscaping, she explained that irrigation would be required and native seed would be allowed. Commissioner DWYER expressed concern that there will be no access onto Ridge Road. Ms. Reckert stated that Ridge Road is a collector street, and it is policy not to have direct access onto collectors. A traffic analysis has been done. John Greer, Chief Arvada Fire Protection District Chief Greer stated that the proposed station would replace Station #2 and would be one mile closer to the busiest census area of Kipling and I -70 while allowing protection to the area provided by the present Station #2. This amounts to about 90 seconds less in response tithe. He stated that sirens and flashing lights are not activated until after trucks have left the station. Lights would be angled to prevent spillage into residential structures. There will be no hazardous materials stored on the site. Diesel fuel will be stored in an approved above -ground tank which will be enclosed in a bricked -in area. The station will have sleeping space Planning Commission Minutes 2 January 2l, 2010 for 6 individuals and parking space for 13 vehicles. Extra vehicle storage will not be allowed. Commissioner MATTHEWS asked about access across light rail. Chief Greer explained that they will use Miller Street. In response to a question from Commissioner HOLLENDER, Chief Greer stated that he is satisfied with the Oak Street access. The station is a drive- through design so trucks don't have to back up. In response to a question from Commissioner TIMMS, Chief Greer stated that Station #2 currently gets about two calls per day. The amount of calls will be increased at the proposed station. He stated that it also looks hopeful that funding will be available and the station could be constructed in about a year. At the request of Commissioner TIMMS, Brad Bonnet, the architect, presented architectural renderings of the station. He commented that the station would provide a buffer from the Coors industrial park In response to a question from Commissioner BRINKMAN, Chief Cheer explained that the fire department contracts with Pridemark for ambulance services and those vehicles will not be stationed and dispatched at the firehouse. Commissioner BRINKMAN asked if there would be a future need for additional sleeping space at the station. Chief Greer explained that any future additional firefighters will be housed at Station #1. Joseph E. DeMott Wheat Ridge City Council — District IV Mr. DeMott stated that he lives in Skyline Estates near the proposed station. He stated that he is in favor of the station and, in talking with his neighbors, he has heard no negative comments. Chair DWYER asked if there were others who wished to address the Commission. Hearing no response, he closed the public hearing. Commissioner MATTHEWS commented that access onto Ridge Road is not for the Commission's consideration at this time. Commissioner TIMMS stated that he would vote in favor of the application. He commented that a fire station is a much better use at this location than some of the industrial uses allowed by the present zoning. Commissioner HOLLENDER stated that he strongly supports the fire station at this location, but suggested that the access question be reconsidered. Commissioner MATTHEWS commended the Arvada Fire Department on the pleasing design of the proposed station. Planning Commission Minutes January 2l, 2010 I It was moved by Commissioner TE%01S and seconded by Commissioner MATTHEWS to recommend approval of Case No. WZ- 09-09, a request for approval of an amendment to the Skyline Estates Filing #3 Outline Development Plan for Lot 1 of Block 4 to allow the additional use of a fire station on property located at approximately 5250 Oak Street for the following reasons: 1. The proposed use is less impactive than existing uses allowed on the property. 2. The proposed use will provide a buffer and land use transition from the industrial uses on the south side of Ridge Road to the residential neighborhood to the north. 3. The evaluation criteria support approval of the request. With the following conditions: 1. A preliminary drainage report be submitted at the time of specific ODP. 2. A traffic analysis be submitted at the time of specific ODP. The motion passed 5 -0. 8. OTHER ITEMS A. Resolution Designating a Public Place for Posting of Meeting Notices It was moved by Commissioner MATTHEWS and seconded by Commissioner HOLLENDER to approve Resolution No. 01 -2010, a resolution establishing a designated public place for the posting of meeting notices as required by the Colorado Open Meetings Law. Commissioner BRINKMAN offered a friendly amendment to include the City's website as an additional location for the posting of meeting notices. The amendment was accepted by Commissioners MATTHEWS and HOLLENDER. The amended motion passed unanimously. B. Mixed Use Forum — Northwest Subarea Plan Update Meredith Reckert stated that a forum was held last week with about 35 people from the Wadsworth corridor area to discuss new regulations concerning a mixed use zone district. She invited Commissioners to attend another forum to be held regarding the TOD area around 50 and Ward. There will be a future forum concerning the Kipling north of 44th area.

For corner lots, the minimum percentage of transparency can be allocated from one street fagade to another. At no time can the percent of transparency on a street front be less than 30 %. Please provide an analysis of the transparency of the facades facing Ridge, Oak and W. 53` Avenue.* Our project team has designed fire station #2 with the contextual understanding of the surrounding neighborhood development and with the use of durable and the function needs for Arvada Fire Protection District and their staffed fire fighters. Therefore, the proposed fire station does not have a commercial design feel with the use of ribbon storefront glazing that would be required to meet the 60% transparency requirements as indicated above. This proposed fire station accommodates sleeping quarters and living spaces for the fire fighters as well as emergency vehicle bays. Because of these uses the proposed fire station has a more `residential' feel to the design rather than a commercial street front design. Energy efficiency is also a major concern for Arvada Fire Protection District. Because of this the overhead doors are not an all glazing system that can only provide an R -Value of approximately 2.5. The proposed overhead doors have a 1" insulated glazing section to allow fire fighters to see out and the public to see in with insulated sections to obtain an R -Value of approximately 10.

WZ -10 -03 /SKYLINE ESTATES #3) ❑ PUBLIC HEARING ® ORDINANCES FOR 1 READING (06/14/2010) ❑ BIDS/MOTIONS ❑ ORDINANCES FOR 2 READING (06/28/2010) ❑ RESOLUTIONS QUASI - JUDICIAL: ® YES L"" d qg Community Devei Director ❑ NO A a City Manager ISSUE: The applicant is requesting approval of an amendment to a Planned Industrial Development (PID) Outline Development Plan (ODP) for property located at 5250 Oak Street for construction of a public fire station. This case is being processed with a "specific" ODP which is the last step of the planned development zone change process. If approved, the applicant can proceed to administrative Final Development Plan (FDP) and building permit. The Planning Commission recommended approval of this request at a public hearing held on May 20, 2010. PRIOR ACTION: The property in question was part of a 17.67 acre tract which was rezoned from Agriculture -One (A -1) to Planned Residential Development (PRD) and Planned Industrial Development (PID) in 2003 as Skyline Estates, Filing 3. A subsequent subdivision plat for the entire development and Council Action Form Case No. WZ -10 -03 v June 14, 2010 Page 2 a Final Development Plan (FDP) for the residential portion was approved in 2004. The portion zoned PID (subject parcel) is currently vacant, while the residential portion of the development is built -out. In 2009, the property was subject to a zone change process which was approved to add an additional permitted use (public fire station) with a conceptual ODP. City Council held a public hearing and approved the request on March 8, 2010. The applicant, Arvada Fire Protection District (AFPD), is requesting approval of a specific ODP so they can proceed to administrative FDP and building permit. Planning Commission reviewed the subject application at a public hearing held on May 20, 2010 and gave a recommendation of approval for the following reasons: 1. It will allow AFPD to proceed to the administrative FDP stage and building permit. 2. The proposed ODP amendment for a specific plan is consistent with the standards established on the underlying plan. 3. The proposed use will provide a buffer and land use transition from the industrial uses on the south side of Ridge Road to the residential neighborhood to the north. 4. The evaluation criteria support approval of the request. With the following conditions: 1. The title of the document be modified to be Amendment No. 2. 2. Public Works' suggested language regarding an emergency signal be added to the plan. 3. On the elevation sheet, the reference to EIFAS be changed to stucco. The applicant has incorporated all of the recommended conditions of approval into the plan set to be reviewed at the June 28 public hearing. FINANCIAL IMPACT: One -time fees for the zone change were submitted with the application. A future application for administrative FDP will require a new application and processing fees. Building permit fees and use tax will be assessed at the time of building permit. The property in question is zoned Planned Industrial Development (PID) having been rezoned from A -1, Agriculture -One, in 2003. Of the total 17.67 acres of Skyline Estates Filing 3, the northern 14.49 acres were rezoned to Planned Residential Development (PRD), with the southern 2.79 acres zoned PID (subject property). An ODP plan was approved which set allowable uses and general development parameters for the two different zonings within the development. Council Action Form Case No. WZ -10 -03 June 14, 2010 Page 3 The property was subsequently subdivided into 38 parcels with the northern 37 being developed into a single family residential neighborhood. All public improvements associated with the development, including the installation of curb, gutter and sidewalk and detention/drainage facilities were constructed with the residential portion. While permitted uses and design parameters were established for the PID zoned lot, no development of the property occurred and it remains vacant. In the spring of 2010, City Council approved a request to add the use of a public fire station to the list of permitted uses in the ODP pursuant to Case No. WZ- 09 -09. The proposed specific ODP document which will be included in Council's June 28 packet will contain the following four sheets: 1). declaration page /certifications, 2). list of uses and detailed site plan, 3). exterior elevations, and 4). perspective drawing. The existing site plan for the property (sheet 2) is a refinement of the "sketch plan" included on the recently approved conceptual ODP document. All minimum development standards required by the conceptual ODP have been met including minimum landscaped coverage, maximum building coverage and the 35' height limitation. The one exception is the requirement for transparency for commercial and industrial development specified in the Architectural and Site Design Manual (ASDM). The ASDM provides "transparency of ground floor facades facing any street or pedestrian way, regardless of distance, shall be at least 60% and not more than 85 %. ...... for corner lots, the minimum percentage of transparency can be allocated from one street fagade to another. At no time can the percentage of transparency on a street frontage be less than 30 %." The applicant has provided an analysis of the transparency and indicates that it is 14% on the north - facing elevation, 20% on the south- facing elevation and 19.4% on the fagade facing Oak Street. The transparency standard in the manual has been written for a retail context and does not lend itself to this type of quasi - public facility. In addition, the property has three street frontages which could be considered a hardship. Because this is a planned development, there is flexibility in application of the standards. Given the unusual site conditions and residential building appearance, Staff is comfortable with the reduction in transparency as other requirements in the ASDM have been exceeded. The application has been through a standard City and outside agency referral process. No issues of concern have been raised. Public Works has requested specific language be incorporated into the plan set regarding the potential need for a future emergency signal at the Ridge Road/Oak Street intersection. That language has been added to the ODP plans. The Planning Commission staff report and minutes will be attached for additional background on this application at the time of second reading. Council Action Form Case No. WZ -10 -03 June 14, 2010 Page 4 RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff has concluded that prior to proceeding to the Final Development Plan stage and building permit, an amended Outline Development Plan document must be approved which is consistent with the provisions for a specific ODP. Staff has further concluded that the criteria used to evaluate a zone change request support approval of this application. Staff is giving a recommendation of approval for the following reasons: • There have been changes to the area due to the construction of the three filings of the Skyline Estates residential community. • The application is consistent with several of the identified goals in the Comprehensive Plan. • The use will have less of an impact than what could be built on the property under the existing zoning conditions. • All infrastructure is already in place. • There will be a positive impact on the health, safety and welfare of residences and businesses in the area due to better emergency response times and proximity of the new station. • Staff concludes that the plan amendment meets or exceeds the development standards established by the conceptual ODP. • Although the application does not meet the transparency requirements specified in the ASDM, there are other requirements which have been exceeded. RECOMMENDED MOTION: "I move to approve Council Bill No. 09 -2010 Case No. WZ- 10 -03, a request for approval of an amendment to a Planned Industrial Development Outline Development Plan to allow construction of a public fire station on property located at 5250 Oak Street, on first reading, order it published by title in a newspaper and in full on the City's website, public hearing set for Monday, June 28, 2010 at 7 p.m. in the City Council Chambers, and that it take effect 15 days after publication."

Reckert DATE OF MEETING: May 20, 2010 CASE NO. & NAME: WZ -10 -03 /Skyline Estates #3 ACTION REQUESTED: Approval of an amendment to a PID Outline Development Plan LOCATION OF REQUEST: 5250 Oak Street APPLICANT: Arvada Fire Protection District PROPERTY OWNER: Same PRESENT ZONING: PID, Planned Industrial Development CURRENT USE: Vacant ENTER INTO RECORD: COMPREHENSIVE PLAN CASE FILE & PACKET MATERIALS ZONING ORDINANCE DIGITAL PRESENTATION Planning Commission WZ- 10- 03/AFPD All notification and posting requirements have been met; therefore, there is jurisdiction to hear this case. I. REQUEST This application is for approval of an amendment to an existing Planned Industrial Development Outline Development Plan (ODP) for property located at 5250 Oak Street. In order for the applicant to proceed to the Final Development Plan (FDP) stage and building permit, an amendment to the approved ODP plan, which is conceptual, must be processed in accordance with Article III of the zoning and development code. This application must be consistent with the requirements for a specific ODP as outlined under section 26- 308.C. II. EXISTING CONDITIONS/PROPERTY HISTORY The property which was originally comprised of 17.67 acres was rezoned and subdivided in 2003. The plat showed 38 lots of which 37 lots were zoned PRD and approved for single family residential development. The remaining lot which is the subject site, was zoned Planned Industrial Development. The plat for the original development accommodated street dedication for all streets in the development including Oak, Nelson and 53 Avenue. Drainage and open space tracts dispersed through the development were also reserved. All improvements were constructed with the residential portion of the development, in addition to drainage improvements on the subject site including a large detention easement along the west and a conveyance channel for the Columbine Basin adjacent to Ridge Road. In 2009, the property was subject to a zone change process which was approved to add an additional permitted use (public fire station). A conceptual ODP was approved which accompanied the modification to the existing zoning on the property. Although more information was provided than needed for the conceptual ODP, some of the technical requirements weren't included in the application, therefore it was considered conceptual. (Exhibit 1, conceptual ODP) As such, the following note was included on the plan face. "This outline development plan is conceptual in nature. Specific development elements such as site layout and building architecture have not been addressed on this document. As a result, a non - administrative amendment to this outline development plan must be submitted and approved by the City of Wheat Ridge prior to the submittal of a final development plan and any subsequent site development. " No other modifications were made to the original Outline Development Plan which was reviewed by Planning Commission and recommended for approval at a public hearing on January 21, 2010. (Exhibit 2, Planning Commission minutes) City Council approved the request on March 8, 2010. (Exhibit 3, City Council minutes) Planning Commission 2 WZ- 10- 03 /AFPD III. AMENDED OUTLINE DEVELOPMENT PLAN The proposed amended ODP document contains the following four sheets: 1). declaration page /certifications, 2). list of uses and detailed site plan, 3). exterior elevations, and 4). perspective drawing. (Exhibit 4, Amended ODP) Allowable Uses: Permitted uses on the property detailed on page 2 include vet clinics, general retail including furniture and grocery stores, and several light industrial uses such as office /warehouses. The 2009 ODP amendment added fire stations as a permitted use. Site Plan, Access, Parking and Circulation: The existing site plan for the property (sheet 2) is a refinement of the "sketch plan" included on sheet 4 of the existing ODP document. The structure is located in the southern portion of the lot with one -way circulation in and out from Oak Street. The plan envisions fire trucks circulating into the northern access point, entering the rear of the building through overhead doors and exiting from the front through another set of overhead doors onto Oak Street. Employee parking is proposed off the northern entrance with public parking off of the southern drive (exit) to Oak. The southern curb cut is large enough to accommodate two -way traffic. The proposed driveways will cross a 50' wide drainage easement adjacent to Oak Street via culverts. The streets surrounding the property (53` Avenue, Oak Street and Ridge road) have been improved with curb, gutter and sidewalk. Pedestrian access into the site is provided at the south side of the southern curb cut to Oak which has the closest proximity to the front door of the station. A preliminary traffic study was submitted and approved by Public Works with this application. Although an emergency access signal for fire trucks at the Oak/Ridge Road intersection is not needed at this time, they have suggested modified language be added regarding future installation at the expense of the Fire District, if warranted. This note should read as follows: "If the Arvada Fire Protection District determines that a traffic control signal for emergency vehicle access is justified at the intersection of Ridge Road and Oak Street in accordance with Chapter 4G of the MUTCD, before the intersection meets the warrants of Chapter 4C of the MUTCD, then the full cost of the design and installation of the traffic control signal shall be the sole responsibility of the Arvada Fire Protection District." Landscaping: The existing ODP set the minimum amount of landscaping at 20 %. The landscaped coverage depicted on the site plan is 66.1%. Amore detailed landscape plan will be required at the time of administrative FDP approval. Building Height/Minimum Setbacks: Consistent with the previous ODP for the property, a maximum building height is specified as 35'. The building is roughly 28' in height measured at mid -roof for the highest roofline of the structure. Development Standards: The development standards depicted in the table below are shown as minimum standards on the conceptual ODP. The table provides a comparison with what's provided or required by the existing ODP and what is being shown on the proposed amended ODP. Planning Commission WZ- 10- 03 /AFPD Development Standard Conceptual ODP Specific ODP Min. Front setback (west side) 50' 69.5' Min. Side setback (north side) 30' 121.75' Min. Side setback (south side) 30' 64.5' Min. landscaping 20 % 66.1% Max. coverage by building and p avin g 80% 33.9% Parking 11 required 16 provided Fencing Per section 26 -603 complies Si na e Per Article VII complies Architecture Per ASDM See discussion below Lighting will be reviewed at the time of Final Development Plan with submission of a lighting and photometric plan. A detailed landscape plan will also be reviewed at the time of FDP submittal. Architectural Elevations: The Architectural and Site Design Manual (ASDM) requires careful and purposeful architectural considerations be taken into account to ensure that any newly constructed building will be of quality design and contain differing levels of architectural interest. These requirements apply to all new development except single and two family residences. Staff has reviewed the ASDM and done an analysis with the commercial /industrial standards and has concluded the following: • An internal pedestrian connection has been provided from the public street (Oak) to and around the structure. • A significant pedestrian entry feature for the primary entrance has been provided. • Variations in plane depth have been provided for each 50 linear feet of building faqade. • Building facade articulation features include changes of material, accent banding, reveals and roof overhang variations. • A variety of materials are provided including brick, stucco and stone. • Mechanical equipment is screened by brick walls. • Landscaped buffers exceeding 10' have been provided along all street frontages. • Signage is minimal and has been integrated into the brick wall system around the building. The structure however, does not meet the standard for transparency. The ASDM provides "transparency of ground floor facades facing any street or pedestrian way, regardless of distance, shall be at least 60 % and not more than 85 %. ...... for corner lots, the minimum percentage of transparency can be allocated from one street faqade to another. At no time can the percentage of transparency on a street frontage be less than 30 %." The applicant has provided an analysis of the transparency and indicates that it is 14 % on the north- facing elevation, 20% on the south - facing elevation and 19.4% on the fagade facing Oak Street. (Exhibit 5, Transparency analysis) The applicant has included a rationale for their design and the resultant transparency. (Exhibit 6, Applicant response) Planning Commission 4 WZ- 10- 03 /AFPD In review of this standard in the manual, it appears to have been written for a retail situation and does not lend itself to this type of quasi - public facility. In addition, the property has three street frontages which could be considered somewhat of a hardship. Because this is a planned development, there is flexibility in application of the standards. Given the unusual site conditions and residential building appearance, Staff is comfortable with the reduction in transparency as other requirements in the ASDM have been exceeded. IV. ZONE CHANGE CRITERIA Because an amendment to an existing ODP is processed as a rezoning, Staff has provided an analysis of the zone change criteria. The Planning Commission shall base its recommendation in consideration of the extent to which the following criteria have been met: 1. The existing zone classification currently recorded on the official zoning maps of the City of Wheat Ridge is in error; There is not a mistake on the official city maps. The property is zoned Planned Industrial Development. 2. A change in character in the area has occurred due to installation of public facilities, other zone changes, new growth trends, deterioration, or development transitions, There have been changes to the area due to the construction of the three filings of the Skyline Estates residential community. When the filing in Wheat Ridge was in process, the City of Arvada had zoned the southern portion of Skyline #2 directly to the west as Industrial. When the zone change for filing No. 3 (subject property) was submitted to the City of Wheat Ridge, it was logical to extend the Arvada zoning with industrial uses adjacent to Ridge Road. Subsequent to the City's approval, the Arvada property was rezoned to PUD -R (9.2 units /acre). The Arvada property has now been partially developed with multi - family residential development. Ridge Road is classified a collector street. The most recent traffic count (2008) indicates 3732 vehicle trips per day on this section. This is also a corridor for the Fastracks Goldline commuter rail line planned for construction in 2016. The rail corridor will provide commuter rail service to downtown Denver from stations in Arvada and Wheat Ridge. City staff has been working with RTD on design of the station site at Ward and 50` Other changes in the area include the continued development of the Arvada Ridge development which will have a light rail stop at the northern end. Staff concludes that this criterion has been met. The Planning Commission shall also find that the evidence supports the finding of at least four of the following: a. 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, and other related policies or plans for the area; Planning Commission WZ- 10 -03 /AFPD The property is designated as an Employment area on the Comprehensive Plan Structure Plan transitioning to Established Neighborhoods to the north. Employment areas are described as existing light manufacturing, storage, warehouse, and other industrial- related uses where adequate screening is provided for adjacent residential neighborhoods. While the proposed fire station use does not fit a typical industrial project, it will provide jobs for area residents. Other goals being met include the transportation strategy to coordinate transit service with new redevelopment sites and the community service strategy to coordinate with non -city service providers to encourage residential design for their facilities and to provide buffering for adjacent residential neighborhoods. Staff concludes that this criterion has been met. b. The proposed change of zone is compatible with the surrounding area and there will be minimal adverse impacts considering the benefits to be derived; The property is zoned industrially and allows a list of permitted uses which include office /warehouse, screened outside storage, light manufacturing and assembly. While there is heavy industrial development located directly to the south across Ridge Road, there is adjacent residential development on three sides. A fire station may have impacts such as noise and large vehicles entering and exiting the site; however, the use is less impactive than what could be built on the property under the existing zoning conditions. The fire station will serve as a transition and buffer from the heavy industrial uses to the south. The station has been designed to be visually compatible with the adjacent residential development. Staff concludes that this criterion has been met. C. There will be social, recreational, physical and/or economic benefits to the community derived by the change of zone; There have already been physical benefits associated with the development due to the construction of public improvements along all four street frontages adjacent to the site. Other than one -time fees for construction of the building, economic benefits to the city will be minimal Staff concludes that this criterion has been met. d. Adequate infrastructure /facilities are available to serve the type of uses allowed by the change of zone, or that the applicant will upgrade and provide such where they do not exist or are under capacity; All infrastructure is already in place. The applicant will be responsible for any other utility upgrades for the site upon development. Staff concludes that this criterion has been met. Planning Commission fi WZ- 10- 03 /AFPD e. The change of zone will not adversely affect public health, safety or welfare by creating excessive traffic congestion, creating drainage problems, or seriously reducing light and air to adjacent properties; The architectural design drawings of the structure on sheets 3 and 4 of the plan set indicate that the station will have a residential appearance with varied rooflines and brick facades. All drainage improvements on the property have already been constructed so this should not be a concern. A preliminary drainage report has been reviewed and approved. Traffic to the site is limited to Oak Street. A preliminary traffic analysis submitted with this application has indicated that an emergency signal at the intersection of Oak and Ridge Road is not needed at this time. Public Works has suggested language that should be added to the plan as a note. There will be a positive impact on the health, safety and welfare of residences and businesses in the area due to better emergency response times and proximity of the new station. Staff concludes that this criterion has been met 3. The application is in substantial compliance with the applicable standards set forth in the Architectural and Site Design Manual. The applicant has submitted an application for a specific ODP which requires analysis with the commercial and industrial standards in the ASDM. Staff has concluded that aside from the transparency requirements, the elevations and site design are consistent or exceed the standards required in the Architectural and Site Design Manual. Staff concludes that this criterion has been met. V. NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING The required pre - application meeting for neighborhood input was held on March 21, 2010. There were no representatives from the neighborhood in attendance. VI. AGENCY REFERRALS A referral was sent out based regarding the request with responses below. Arvada Fire Protection District: Currently serving the property from stations located at 12195 W. 52 Avenue and 7900 W. 57 Avenue. Valley Water District: Can serve the property subject to improvements. Additional looped water main lines, fire hydrants and fire sprinkler lines may be needed to be installed at the owners' expense. Qwest Communications: Can serve. Xcel Energy: Can serve Planning Commission WZ- 10- 03 /AFPD Wheat Ridge Public Works: Has reviewed and approved preliminary drainage report and traffic analysis. They are requesting the following note be added to the ODP: "If the Arvada Fire Protection District determines that a traffic control signal for emergency vehicle access is justified at the intersection of Ridge Road and Oak Street in accordance with Chapter 4G of the MUTCD, before the intersection meets the warrants of Chapter 4C of the MUTCD, then the full cost of the design and installation of the traffic control signal shall be the sole responsibility of the Arvada Fire Protection District." VII. STAFF CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATION Staff has concluded that prior to proceeding to the Final Development Plan stage and building permit, an amended ODP document must be approved which is consistent with the provisions for a specific outline development plan. With the exception of fagade transparency, Staff concludes that the plan amendment meets or exceeds the development standards established by the original ODP and that the zone change evaluation criteria support approval of this request. For these reasons, a recommendation of approval with conditions is given as detailed in the recommended motion. VIII.

The motion carried 5 -0. Planning Commission Minutes January 21, 2010 �5 6. PUBLIC FORUM (This is the time for any person to speak on any subject not appearing on the agenda.) There was no one present to address the Commission. 7. PUBLIC HEARING A. Case No. WZ -09 -09 — An application filed by Arvada Fire Protection District for approval of an Outline Development Plan amendment to allow a fire station on property zoned Planned Industrial Development (PID) and located at 5250 Oak Street. The case was presented by Meredith Reckert. She entered all pertinent documents into the record and advised the Commission there was jurisdiction to hear the case. She reviewed the staff report and digital presentation. Staff concluded that the proposed modification to the original uses specified on the Skyline Estates Filing 3 ODP must be processed as a zone change and that criteria used to evaluate a change of zoning conditions supports approval of the modification for this lot only. A recommendation of approval was given with conditions as outlined in the staff report. Commissioner BRINKMAN asked if staff believed parking to be adequate. Ms. Reckert replied that this is a different situation than most parking requirements and would be examined more closely at the time of specific design. Commissioner HOLLENDER asked what would happen to the existing detention ponds. Ms. Reckert stated that these ponds are regional and serve the developments. A drainage plan will have to be approved. In response to questions from Commissioner TIMMS, Ms. Reckert explained that a photometric plan will be required at time of development. In regard to landscaping, she explained that irrigation would be required and native seed would be allowed. Commissioner DWYER expressed concern that there will be no access onto Ridge Road. Ms. Reckert stated that Ridge Road is a collector street, and it is policy not to have direct access onto collectors. A traffic analysis has been done. John Greer, Chief Arvada Fire Protection District Chief Cheer stated that the proposed station would replace Station #2 and would be one mile closer to the busiest census area of Kipling and I -70 while allowing protection to the area provided by the present Station #2. This amounts to about 90 seconds less in response time. He stated that sirens and flashing lights are not activated until after trucks have left the station. Lights would be angled to prevent spillage into residential structures. There will be no hazardous materials stored on the site. Diesel fuel will be stored in an approved above -ground tank which will be enclosed in a bricked -in area. The station will have sleeping space Planning Commission Minutes January 21, 2010 for 6 individuals and parking space for 13 vehicles. Extra vehicle storage will not be allowed. Commissioner MATTHEWS asked about access across light rail. Chief Greer explained that they will use Miller Street. In response to a question from Commissioner HOLLENDER, Chief Greer stated that he is satisfied with the Oak Street access. The station is a drive - through design so trucks don't have to back up. In response to a question from Commissioner TIMMS, Chief Greer stated that Station #2 currently gets about two calls per day. The amount of calls will be increased at the proposed station. He stated that it also looks hopeful that funding will be available and the station could be constructed in about a year. At the request of Commissioner TIMMS, Brad Bonnet, the architect, presented architectural renderings of the station. He commented that the station would provide a buffer from the Coors industrial park. In response to a question from Commissioner BRINKMAN, Chief Greer explained that the fire department contracts with Pridemark for ambulance services and those vehicles will not be stationed and dispatched at the firehouse. Commissioner BRINKMAN asked if there would be a future need for additional sleeping space at the station. Chief Greer explained that any future additional firefighters will be housed at Station #1. Joseph E. DeMott Wheat Ridge City Council — District IV Mr. DeMott stated that he lives in Skyline Estates near the proposed station. He stated that he is in favor of the station and, in talking with his neighbors, he has heard no negative comments. Chair DWYER asked if there were others who wished to address the Commission. Hearing no response, he closed the public hearing. Commissioner MATTHEWS commented that access onto Ridge Road is not for the Commission's consideration at this time. Commissioner TIMMS stated that he would vote in favor of the application. He commented that a fire station is a much better use at this location than some of the industrial uses allowed by the present zoning. Commissioner HOLLENDER stated that he strongly supports the fire station at this location, but suggested that the access question be reconsidered. Commissioner MATTHEWS commended the Arvada Fire Department on the pleasing design of the proposed station. Planning Commission Minutes 3 January 21, 2010 It was moved by Commissioner TIMMS and seconded by Commissioner MATTHEWS to recommend approval of Case No. WZ- 09-09, a request for approval of an amendment to the Skyline Estates Filing #3 Outline Development Plan for Lot 1 of Block 4 to allow the additional use of a fire station on property located at approximately 5250 Oak Street for the following reasons: 1. The proposed use is less impactive than existing uses allowed on the property. 2. The proposed use will provide a buffer and land use transition from the industrial uses on the south side of Ridge Road to the residential neighborhood to the north. 3. The evaluation criteria support approval of the request. With the following conditions: l 1. A preliminary drainage report be submitted at the time of specific ODP. 2. A traffic analysis be submitted at the time of specific ODP. The motion passed 5 -0. 8. OTHER ITEMS A. Resolution Designating a Public Place for Posting of Meeting Notices It was moved by Commissioner MATTHEWS and seconded by Commissioner HOLLENDER to approve Resolution No. 01 -2010, a resolution establishing a designated public place for the posting of meeting notices as required by the Colorado Open Meetings Law. Commissioner BRINKMAN offered a friendly amendment to include the City's website as an additional location for the posting of meeting notices. The amendment was accepted by Commissioners MATTHEWS and HOLLENDER. The amended motion passed unanimously. B. Mixed Use Forum — Northwest Subarea Plan Update Meredith Reckert stated that a forum was held last week with about 35 people from the Wadsworth corridor area to discuss new regulations concerning a mixed use zone district. She invited Commissioners to attend another forum to be held regarding the TOD area around 50 and Ward. There will be a future forum concerning the Kipling north of 44th area.

For corner lots, the minimum percentage of transparency can be allocated from one street facade to another. At no time can the percent of transparency on a street front be less than 30 %- Please provide an analysis of the transparency of the facades facing Ridge, Oak and W. 53 Avenue." Our project team has designed fire station #2 with the contextual understanding of the surrounding neighborhood development and with the use of durable and the function needs for Arvada Fire Protection District and their staffed fire fighters- Therefore, the proposed fire station does not have a commercial design feel with the use of ribbon storefront glazing that would be required to meet the 60% transparency requirements as indicated above. This proposed fire station accommodates sleeping quarters and living spaces for the fire fighters as well as emergency vehicle bays. Because of these uses the proposed fire station has a more "residential' feel to the design rather than a commercial street front design. Energy efficiency is also a major concern for Arvada Fire Protection District - Because of this the overhead doors are not an all glazing system that can only provide an R -Value of approximately 2.5. The proposed overhead doors have a 1" insulated glazing section to allow fire fighters to see out and the public to see in with insulated sections to obtain an R -Value of approximately 10. Due to the - EXHIBIT 6 RESPONSES - CONTINUED east and west facing overhead doors, the heating toad requirements during the winter months and the cooling loads during the summer months are greatly affected by the R value of the overhead doors. All windows use a 1' insulated glass. 1 hope this answers some of you concerns and if you need any further information from our office please do not hesitate to call. Sincerely. 0 Brad R.

Preliminary Drainage Report (Discussion): Q1: Section 1.2 Site Description a. The last paragraph of this section mentions the 35 foot -wide Columbine Channel easement but should also include the approximately 50 foot -wide easement along the westerly side of Lot 1. Response: This is now included. Q2: Section 3.1 Hydraulic Criteria a. This paragraph appears to reference several sites, please revise. Response: Lot 1 is more specifically mentioned. Q3: Section 3.2.1 Sub -Basin S a. It is stated that the runoff drains to the Columbine Channel. Please elaborate as to how the flows will reach the Channel (is it overland, or via conduit — and if so what size and type, ect.) b. Provide a brief description of the runoff reduction practices and water quality treatments that the flows from this basin will receive (including roof drains) prior to discharging into the Columbine Channel. Response: Additional detail has been provided. Q4: Section 3.2.2 Sub -Basin N a. The second sentence states the flow will be routed to "the east property line..." This sentence should mention that the flow from this sub -basin is ultimately routed to detention Pond H. Response: Completed. AFPD #2 Page 5 RESPONSES - CONTINUED Q5: Section 3.3 Detention Requirements a. The first sentence needs to be revised. It implies that there was a master plan and that all runoff not flowing to the Columbine Channel for the area is collected by the two ponds — which may not be accurate. (The ponds were designed to detain and provide WQ for the developed flows resulting from the Skyline Estates filing No. 3 subdivision project). b. The Final Drainage Report for Skyline Estates Filing No. 3 should be referenced instead of the "master plan for detention in this area." Response: Completed. Q6: Section 4.1 Impact of Development a. Is should be stated that there will no negative impacts to downstream properties as a result of this development, and in fact this development design will actually reduce future drainage problems due to the fact the flow rates into the Columbine Channel are to be reduced from those stated in the original Final Drainage Report of Skyline Estates Filing No. 3. Response: Included. 07: Further technical comments will be reserved for the Final Drainage Report. Response: Noted. Q8: Please provide a P.E. seal and signature on the revised Preliminary Drainage Report for approval. Response: Completed. Preliminary Drainage Report (Appendix): Q1: Sufficient information is contained in the Appendix for the ODP submittal. Response: Noted. Q2: Further technical comments will be reserved for the Final Drainage Report. Response: Noted. Preliminary Drainage Plan: Q1: Please darken the line type for both the Columbine Channel easement and the drainage easement along the westerly portion of the site (right now they can barely be discerned from the contours). Response: Completed. Q2: Remove all items related to erosion control and rename the sheet. A Grading & Erosion Control Plan will be required with the Building Permit construction set along with the Stormwater Management Plan (SWMP) — please refer to Note #1 below. Response: Completed. AFPD 42 Page 6 RESPONSES - CONTINUED Q3: Any further comments will be reserved for the Final Drainage Plan. Response: Noted. Q4: Please provide a P.E. seal and signature on the revised Preliminary Drainage Report for approval. Response: Completed. Outline Development Plan: Q1: As stated in the previous review comments, all documents which contain a Legal Description such as an Outline Development Plan, Final Development Plan, or Final Plat, etc. require a metes and bounds portion with a section tie and all bearings on the Current City Datum in the Legal Description. It is fine to leave the lot & block info as currently shown, just add the .. more particularly described as" metes and bounds portion on the revised ODP. (See Note 3 below for Current City Datum info). Response: Previously provided to the planner. Q2: Unless Kim Albers has actually performed a boundary survey for the entirety of the Skyline Estates Filing No. 3 subdivision, the Surveyor's Certification should be modified to limit the survey to only the subject property. Response: Sheet 1 has been revised to indicate for ... "the proposed site, Lot 1 and tract H, .........

Mark Westberg, PD, CFM, Project Supervisor Q1: I have reviewed the Emergency Signal Warrant Study, dated January 12, 2010, that was prepared by LSC Transportation Consultants for the Ridge Road and Oak Street intersection. Based on the information outlined in the Study, I agree with the conclusions of the Study that an emergency signal at this intersection is not warranted at this time. However, given the dramatic changes that will be taking place along this corridor over the next 10 years because of the Gold Line rail project, I cannot agree with the conclusion that an emergency signal will not be need prior to 2035. Therefore, I would like to add the following conditions to the ODP: "In the event that an emergency signal becomes necessary before a traffic signal is necessary at the intersection of Ridge Road and Oak Street, the full cost of the design and installation of the signal shall be the responsibility of the Arvada Fire Protection District." Response: Arvada Fire Protection District acknowledges that future development may impact the site requirements necessary for traffic flow. If future demands require changes, Arvada Fire Protection District will coordinate these necessary revisions with the city.

However, given the dramatic changes that will be taking place along this corridor over the next 10 years because of the Gold Line rail project, I cannot agree with the conclusion that an emergency signal will not be need prior to 2035. Therefore, I would like to add the following condition to the ODP: "In the event that an emergency signal becomes necessary before a traffic signal is necessary at the intersection of Ridge Road and Oak Street, the full cost of the design and installation of the signal shall be the responsibility of the Arvada Fire Protection District."

Park Engineering Consultants 420 21" Avenue, Suite 101 Longmont, CO 80501 303.651.6626 Re: First Review Comments of the Preliminary Drainage Report/Plan and Outline Development Plan for the Arvada Fire Station #2 Project located at 5250 Oak Street. Dear Mr. Seamons, I have completed the first review of the above referenced documents received on March 30, 2010, and I have the following comments: Preliminary Drainage Report (Discussion): 1. Section 1.2 Site Description a. The last paragraph of this section mentions the 35 foot -wide Columbine Channel easement but should also include the approximately 50 foot -wide easement along the westerly side of Lot 1. 2. Section 3.1 Hydraulic Criteria a. This paragraph appears to reference several sites, please revise. 3. Section 3.2.1 Sub -Basin S a. It is stated that the runoff drains to the Columbine Channel. Please elaborate as to how the flows will reach the Channel (is it overland, or via conduit — and if so what size and type, etc.). b. Provide a brief description of the runoff reduction practices and water quality treatments that the flows from this basin will receive (including roof drains) prior to discharging into the Columbine Channel. 4. Section 3.2.2 Sub -Basin N a. The second sentence states the flow will be routed to "the east property line..." This sentence should mention that the flow from this sub -basin is ultimately routed to detention Pond H. 5. Section 3.3 Detention Requirements a. The first sentence needs to be revised. It implies that there was a master plan and that all runoff not flowing to the Columbine Channel for the area is collected by the two ponds - which may not be accurate. (The ponds were designed to detain and provide WQ for the developed flows resulting from the Skyline Estates filing No. 3 subdivision project). b. The Final Drainage Report for Skyline Estates Filing No. 3 should be referenced instead of the "master plan for detention in this area." 6. Section 4.1 Impact of Development a. It should be stated that there will no negative impacts to downstream properties as a result of this development, and in fact this development design will actually reduce future drainage problems due to the fact the flow rates into the Columbine Channel are to be reduced from those stated in the original Final Drainage Report for Skyline Estates Filing No. 3. 7. Further technical comments will be reserved for the Final Drainage Report. 8. Please provide a P.E. seal and signature on the revised Preliminary Drainage Report for approval. www.ci.wheatridgexo.us Public Works Engineering April 9 2010 Page 2 Preliminary Drainage Report (Appendix): 1. Sufficient information is contained in the Appendix for the CDP submittal. 2. Further technical comments will be reserved for the Final Drainage Report. Preliminary Drainage Plan: 1. Please darken the linetype for both the Columbine Channel easement and the drainage easement along the westerly portion of the site (right now they can barely be discerned from the contours). 2. Remove all items related to erosion control and rename the sheet. A Grading & Erosion Control Plan will be required with the Building Permit construction set along with the Stormwater Management Plan (SWMP) — please refer to Note #1 below. 3. Any further comments will be reserved for the Final Drainage Plan. 4. Please provide a P.E. seal and signature on the revised Preliminary Drainage Plan for approval. Outline Development Plan: 1. As stated in the previous review comments, all documents which contain a Legal Description such as an Outline Development Plan, Final Development Plan, or Final Plat, etc. require a metes and bounds portion with a section tie and all bearings on the Current City Datum in the Legal Description. It is fine to leave the lot & block info as currently shown, just add the "more particularly described as" metes and bounds portion on the revised ODP. (See Note 3 below for Current City Datum info). 2. Unless Kim Albers has actually performed a boundary survey for the entirety of the Skyline Estates Filing No. 3 subdivision, the Surveyor's Certification should be modified to limit the survey to only the subject property. Please be advised that with the Building Permit Application, PW will require 2 signed & sealed hardcopies accompanied by electronic files in PDF format of all the civil documents. The electronic files may be delivered either on CD -ROM with the submittal or by e-mail to me at: dbrossman(&ci.wheatridge.co.us NOTES: NPDES /CDPS Permit and Stormwater Management Plan An NPDES permit is required for all construction sites greater than one (1) acre in size. The site area for the proposed Fire Station is greater than one acre and shall therefore comply with NPDES regulations. The NPDES permit for construction activities is issued by the State through the Colorado Discharge Permit System (CDPS), and may be obtained by contacting the Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment, Water Quality Control Division. A Stormwater Management Plan (SWMP) detailing the Best Management Practices to be utilized both during and also post construction is required with this development. A Copy of the CDPS Permit and Stormwater Management Plan (SWMP) shall be submitted to the Department of Public Works for review and approval prior to issuance of any Grading/Fill or Building Permits. wwwxi.w heatridgexo. u s 5250 Oak St - Arvada Fire Slatlon2 - reviewl.ltr.do Public Works Engineering April 9 2010 Page 3 Application for Minor Grading/Fill Permit Prior to any construction of utility service connections or public improvements which lie within the public right -of -way, the necessary Right -of -Way Construction Permit(s) and respective licensing will need to be submitted for processing by the City.

The purpose of the study is to determine whether or not an emergency traffic signal should be installed at this intersection to allow fire trucks safe access onto Ridge Road with minimal impact to response times. This study included the collection of vehicular volume and gap data; research into warrants and guidelines for the installation of emergency traffic signal; and recommendations based on comparison of vehicular traffic conditions at this intersection with warrant criteria. A. Vehicular Traffic Volume and Gap Data Peak -hour vehicular turning movement counts at the intersection of Ridge Road and Oak Street were performed by Counter Measures, Inc. on January 5, 2010, the raw data of which is enclosed. Data was collected from 6:30 to 8:30 AM and 4:00 to 6:00 PM and used to determine the peak -hour of vehicular volumes, which occurred between 7:30 and 8:30 AM and 4:45 and 5:45 PM. In addition, traffic gap data along Ridge Road east of Oak Street was also gathered by Counter Measures, Inc. Gaps in traffic were counted with automatic traffic counters in two- second increments. According to Exhibit 9 -54 from the American Association of State Highway and Trans- portation Officials (AASHTO) Geometric Design of Highways and Streets, a fire truck (assumed to be the same as a combination truck) requires a gap of 11.5 seconds to perform a left -turn from Stop maneuver onto a two -lane roadway. Based on this criteria, the number of adequate gaps in the existing traffic flow was calculated. A summary of the vehicle gap data is presented in Table 1, enclosed. To determine the number of gaps along Ridge Road in the future, an Exponential Distribution was used along with future Year 2035 peak -hour traffic volumes taken from Chief Jon Greer Page 2 January 13, 2010 the Denver Regional Council of Governments (DRCOG) Regional Travel Demand Model. The probability of a headway of a particular size can be calculated using the following equation: P(h :- t) = 1- e - "` where: a = random coefficient (calibrated using existing data) This equation was used to calculate the number of gaps in eastbound and westbound traffic along Ridge Road using Year 2035 peak -hour traffic volumes. These results are also shown in Table 1. B. Emergency Traffic Signal Warrants The 2009 Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices ( MUTCD) provides several criteria to determine if an intersection has sufficient vehicular volume to warrant the installation of a traffic signal. To determine if the existing traffic volumes at the Ridge Road/ Oak Street intersection are sufficient to warrant a traffic signal, the existing peak -hour volumes were compared to the peak -hour warrant criteria. The results are shown in the attached Figure 4C -3. As shown, the intersection does not currently have sufficient volume to warrant a traffic signal. In fact, based on the developable area served by Oak Street, it is highly unlikely that volumes at this intersection will ever reach the required thresholds. The MUTCD does state that "if a traffic control signal is not justified under the signal warrants of Chapter 4C and if gaps in traffic are not adequate to permit the timely entrance of emergency vehicles, or the stopping sight distance for vehicles approaching on the major street is insufficient for emergency vehicles, installing an emergency- vehicle traffic control signal should be considered." As a result, a traffic signal may be installed if the number of gaps along the main street is not adequate. Based on the data shown in Table 1, number of gaps along Ridge Road that will be adequate for a fire truck to safely enter the roadway is expected to be approximately 100 or more during the peak -hour, or approximately 2 gaps per minute. As a result, the delay that may be experienced by fire trucks during emergency response is expected to be approximately 15 -20 seconds. Considering that a traffic signal would still incur some delay (approximately 4 -6 seconds of yellow and all-red phase), the net gain by the installation of a traffic signal may only be approximately 10 to 14 seconds. Finally, it is important to note that during off -peak times, the number of acceptable gaps is expected to be greater and the subsequent effect on response times will be smaller. Based on the above results, it is expected that fire trucks from the proposed Arvada Fire Station No. 2 will be able to safely enter traffic flow along Ridge Road with minimal impacts to response times. As a result, an emergency traffic signal will not be required. Chief Jon Greer Page 3 January 13, 2010 We trust the above information will assist in the planning of the proposed Arvada Fire Station No. 2. If you have any questions, please contact us.

It is described as Lot 1, Block 4 of the Skyline Estates Filing 3 in the City of Wheat Ridge, Colorado. This is located in the northeast quarter of Section 16, Township 3 South, Range 69 West of the 6 Principal Meridian in Jefferson County. A vicinity map is included on the next page. 1.2 Site Description The site has a natural drainage Swale on the west side and a concrete improved Swale on the south side. Both of these swales convey offsite drainage through the site. The remaining ground drains to the southeast at a slope of 1.4 %. The geotechnical information available states that the soils in the proposed parking areas are a sandy lean clay to clayey sand, fine to coarse grained, occasional gravel, dense, moist, orangish brown. The existing ground cover is shown in the figure below. This picture was taken on December 17, 2009 from the existing storm sewer culverts located in the southwest comer of the site (looking north). The site can be found in Zone X of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) Community Panel No. 085079C211 E, last revised June 17, 2003. The site is not located within a 100 -year flood zone as defined by FEMA. Z O O 2 rl O Z p � U o Rt DO E RD D N � r NO Z N a STATION #2 r z rq X -v a n W 50TH AVE.

The following is an excerpt from the master drainage report done for Skyline Estates Filing 3 approved by the City on September 10, 2003: The Outfall Systems Planning Columbine Basin (OSPCB) prepared by the Urban Drainage and Flood Control District (UDFCD) in 1994 shows a proposed open channel along the Ridge Road frontage of the site. This Columbine Basin Channel (CBC) is a part of the Ridge Road Tributary as delineated in the OSPCB. The owners have since platted a 35' drainage easement along the south side of this property to accommodate the need to convey drainage flows in this area. There are no irrigation ditches on the property. 1.3 Proposed Project Description The planning for the site includes a fire station for the Arvada Fire Department (Station #2). This area will include a looped concrete drive access to Oak Street and on -site parking. The two drive access points to Oak Street require the existing drainage swale to be piped to the south. 1.4 Flood Hazard and Drainage Studies Relevant to Site The site can be found in Zone X of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) Community Panel No. 085079C211 E, last revised June 17, 2003. The site is not located within a 100 -year flood zone as defined by FEMA (see next page for the map) The master drainage report (completed 7 years ago) is referenced above and included in the references at the end of this report. It has been studied (among other things) for runoff coefficients and-planned detention volume. 0 N z O 1 CITY OF ARVADA 085072 CITY OJA RVADA _ i CITY OF WHEAT RIDGE I I I .Site I I I RF"II�� I ZONE X rho NUMBER PAM1 SUER ~DA,Gf1y GF Gmm 0211 E JEFFEFS WUWY, _ UMMGOFPOPAi AFGi 040057 0211 E VWEATNDDEG OF 0&5079 0211 E Notice to Ueer: The Map N"'"l. shown below should be used when pl ng map orders; the Gommeefq Number shown above should be used on ma aica apPffoations for tha wbjaet community. - GY Mgry MAP NUMBER �3F 08059CO211 E EFFECTIVE DATE: *' JUNE 17, 2003 Federal Emergency Management Agency 1 oficial coq of a Portion of the above referenced good man. toedusing F -MR Online.

Portions of the major drainage basin have been developed as Skyline Estates Filing No. 1 and others are being developed a[s] Skyline Estates Filing No. 2. The major drainage basin flows are collected within a roadside drainage swale located along the north side of Ridge Road. These flows exit the major drainage basin and continue in this roadside drainage swale east to Miller Street and an existing storm sewer system. In the back of the drainage report, there is a copy of the Master Drainage Plan (2003) and the historic drainage pattern for the site (per topographical survey Dec 2009). 2.2 Sub -Basin and Site Drainage 2.2.1 Flow rates The flow rates (cfs) for Lot 1 shown in the Historic Drainage Plan (present day) are as follows: The flow rates (cfs) for Lot I as shown in the Master Drainage Plan are as follows: Minor storm 05) Major storm 0I00) Basin P (to pond) 0.6 3.8 Basin C (to channel) 1.0 6.4 The flow rates (cfs) for Lot I as shown in the Master Drainage Plan are as follows: 2.2.2 Off -site flows Off -site flows are coming into the site from the north in a 30" RCP storm sewer system. As stated previously, this flow will be conveyed though the site in an equal diameter pipe until it daylights on the south side of the access drives. 2.2.3 On -site flows The existing drainage pattern for the site is channelized flow on the west side (flowing south) and sheet flow on the east side (flowing southeast). As seen above in the table, the historic flows are described as going to the pond or going to the Columbine Channel. Minor storm (Q5) Major storm (QI00) Basin I (to pond) 5.0 10.8 1 Basin J (to channel) 0.5 3.1 2.2.2 Off -site flows Off -site flows are coming into the site from the north in a 30" RCP storm sewer system. As stated previously, this flow will be conveyed though the site in an equal diameter pipe until it daylights on the south side of the access drives. 2.2.3 On -site flows The existing drainage pattern for the site is channelized flow on the west side (flowing south) and sheet flow on the east side (flowing southeast). As seen above in the table, the historic flows are described as going to the pond or going to the Columbine Channel. Section 3 - Proposed Drainage System 3.1 Hydrologic Criteria Because each of the sites is less than 100 -acres in size, the rational method was used to estimate the minor storm event (5 -year storm) and the major storm event (100 -year storm). The IDF curves from Figure 5 -1 in the manual were used to develop rainfall intensities for the calculated time of concentration. Runoff coefficients were calculated using a composite of the different surface materials. Since the site has a large amount of grassy area, it was inaccurate to assume a high impervious area for the site. These calculations are included in the Appendix. 3.2 Proposed Sub - basins There are two Sub - basins shown on the plan: Sub -basin S (south) and Sub -basin N (north). These are further detailed in the next paragraphs. 3.2.1 Sub -basin S This sub -basin is 0.86 acres that drains to the Columbine Channel (DP10). It largely consists of a grassy area combined with the west half of the proposed roof and one of the access drives. The flows of these areas result in 1.1 cfs for the minor storm and 3.3 cfs for the major storm. Compared to the Master Drainage Study, it is contributing less than 1 cfs (for both minor and major storms) to the channel (see Sub -basin J). But, after analyzing the current flow of stormwater, it is found that after development, the channel will receive less (about 3.1 cfs less) stormwater during the major storm event. This is due to the fact that the pond will capture more of the surface runoff after the site is developed. 3.2.2 Sub -basin N This drainage area is the eastern portion of the station which drains to the south east (DPI). Conservative runoff coefficients (0.72, 0.82) were used in this basin. The sheet flow in the parking area will be routed in curb, gutter, trickle pan and grass swale to the east property line where it will join the other flow from the residential houses north of 53` Street. The flows of these areas result in 3.4 cfs for the minor storm and 7.5 cfs for the major stone. This is less than the master planned basin I (5.0, 10.8 cfs); therefore, the existing pond has the capacity for this development. 3.3 Detention Requirements The master plan for detention in this area was to collect the flow not being conveyed by the Columbine Channel in two ponds, Pond G & Pond H. Pond H is the one located in Tract H which is immediately east of Lot 1. It has been verified that it does have the design volume required as master planned (see Appendix) and that the contributing sub -basin to the west (Sub - basin N) is within the flow of the Master Drainage Report (see previous paragraph). VA h i Section 4 - Conclusions 4.1 Impact of Development After talking with the City of Wheat Ridge, there have been no existing drainage problems identified with this site. There will be less drainage being conveyed to the Columbine Channel after development and the pond is adequately sized for Lot 1, Block 4's developed runoff. 4.2 Compliance to Regulations The results of this study indicate that the proposed development will conform to the City of What Ridge's & the State of Colorado's requirements and will safely convey runoff from the site with no adverse effects or impacts on the surrounding developments.

SUMMARY 1. The subsurface conditions encountered in exploratory borings drilled at the fire station site consist of approximately nil to 1 foot of ;topsoil overlying nil to 5 feet of existing man - placed fill consisting of lean clay to clayey sand with occasional gravel. The natural soil encountered in the borings consists of nil to 11 feet of clayey sand to sandy clay; nil to 26 feet of interbedded clayey gravel to clayey sand; nil to 11 feet of sandy lean clay and nil to 19 feet of well to poorly graded sand with silt and poorly graded gravel with silt. Claystone bedrock was encountered at depths of 31 to 34 feet and extended to the maximum depth studied, 45 feet. At the time of drilling, ground water was encountered in two of the borings at a depth of 23 feet. The borings caved off following drilling preventing further measurement of the ground water. 2. Swell consolidation tests indicate the soils and claystone bedrock vary from non - expansive to moderately expansive. 3. The existing fill soils and expansive clay are not suitable for support of foundations. Spread footings placed on a minimum 4 -foot layer of compacted non - expansive fill are recommended for support of the fire station building. 'Footings should be designed for an allowable soil bearing pressure of 3,000 psf and a minimum dead load pressure of 1,000 psf. All existing fill soils should be removed from beneath the foundation and to a distance of at least 5 feet outside the building footprint. 4. The near surface soils are erratic in consistency and exhibit swell - consolidation characteristics sufficient to damage conventional slab on grade floor construction. A structural floor system is the only positive method of eliminating slab movement due to swelling soils similar to those present at the site. We recognize this system may not be practical for the planned construction. Therefore, a slab on grade floor may be considered; but the risk of slab movement related distress should be recognized. In order to reduce the potential floor slab movement, floor slabs should be ,placed on at least 5 feet of relatively impervious, non - expansive structural fill. 5. The on -site clay soils are not suitable for use as non - expansive structuralfill recommended under floor slabs. Imported non - expansive fill should have at least 25% passing the No. 200 sieve and a plasticity index less than 15. Mixing of the on site clay with sand, fly ash or lime may be considered, but additional testing will be required to determine the mix ratios of the various materials. 6. The parking lots and drives associated with the facility should be paved with a 7 -inch portland cement concrete section. Kumar & Associates, Inc. -2- PURPOSE AND SCOPE OF WORK This report presents the results of a geotechnical engineering study for the proposed Arvada Fire Protection District Station No. 2 to be located at the northeast corner of Ridge Road and Oak Street (5250 Oak Street) in Wheat Ridge, Colorado. The site is located on Lot 1 of the Skyline Estates, Filing No. 4. The study was conducted for the purpose of developing geotechnical related design recommendations for foundations, floor slabs, pavements and site grading. The project site is shown on Fig. 1. The study was conducted in accordance with the scope of work in our proposal to Allred & Associates dated November 17, 2009. A field exploration program consisting of drilling 3 exploratory borings within the proposed fire station building footprint and 2 borings in pavement areas was conducted to obtain information on subsurface conditions. Samples of the soils obtained during the field exploration were tested in the laboratory to determine their compressibility or swell characteristics and classification. The results of the field exploration and laboratory testing were analyzed to develop recommendations for foundation types, depths and allowable pressures for the proposed building foundation, floor slabs, site paving surface and subsurface drainage and suitability of the on -site soils for use as fill. The results of the field exploration and laboratory testing are presented herein. This report has been prepared to summarize the data obtained during this study and to present our conclusions and recommendations based on the proposed construction and the subsurface conditions encountered. Design parameters and a discussion of geotechnical engineering considerations related to construction of the proposed fire station facility are included in the report. PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION Fire Station No. 2 will be a single story masonry and wood frame structure having a footprint of approximately 6,300 square feet. The central apparatus bays will utilize masonry walls. The living quarters and public access portions of the station will be located on the north and south sides of the apparatus bays and will utilize frame construction. A slab on grade floor constructed near the existing grade is anticipated. Foundation loading associated with the fire station building are expected to be light to moderate, consistent with type of construction planned. Concrete paved drives, parking spaces and aprons are planned on the east, west and I ' north sides of the building. I Kumar & Associates, Inc. -3- If loadings, locations or conditions are significantly different from those described above or depicted in this report, we should be notified to reevaluate the recommendations contained in this report. SITE CONDITIONS The fire station site is currently vacant. Observation of the ground surface and conditions encountered in the exploratory borings indicate that some site grading has been performed in the past. The site is bound by West Ridge Road on the south, Oak Street on the west, 53 rd Avenue on the north and by a vacant lot to the east. A drainage ditch is present along the west and south sides of the site. The ditch on the south has a concrete lined low flow channel. The ditches were dry at the time of this study and appear to only flow during precipitation events. The ground surface is gently sloping down to the southeast. An elevation difference of approximately 3 feet occurs across the site. SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS The subsurface conditions encountered in exploratory borings drilled for this study consist of nil' toll foot of topsoil overlying existing fill or natural soils. Nil to 5 feet of existing fill consisting of sandy lean clay to clayey sand with varying amounts of gravel was encountered in three of the borings drilled in the southern part of the site. Natural soils consisting of interbedded sandy lean clay to clayey sand were encountered in Borings 1, 2, 3 and P -1. These soils occurred in layers ranging from 5 to 11 feet thick. Interbedded clayey gravel and clayey sand was encountered Borings 1 and 2 in layers ranging up to 16 feet thick. This layer contained gravel up to several inches in diameter. At Boring 3, a 19 foot layer of well and poorly graded sand with silt and poorly graded gravel with silt was found to underlie the clayey overburden soils. Claystone bedrock was encountered at depths of 31 to 34 feet and extended to the depth studied, 45 feet. Ground water was encountered in Borings 1 and 3 at a depth of 23 feet at the time of drilling. When checked 7 to 8 days later, the borings had caved off preventing "additional water level measurements. Penetration resistance blow counts in the lean clay and clayey sand indicate a consistency varying from very stiff to hard and medium dense to very dense. Blow counts in the silty sand l and silty gravel indicate a relative density of dense to very dense. Blow counts in the bedrock indicate the material is very hard. Selected samples obtained from the borings were tested in our laboratory to determine index property tests, such as moisture content (ASTM D 2216), dry Kumar & Associates, Inc. me unit weight, grain size analysis (ASTM D 422) and liquid and plastic limits (ASTM D 4318). The percent water soluble sulfates was determined for samples of the clayey sand. Swell.- consolidation tests (ASTM D 4546, Method B were conducted on samples of the soil and bedrock to determine the compressibility or swell characteristics under loading and when submerged in water. Results of the laboratory testing program are shown adjacent to the boring logs on Fig. 2, on Figs. 4 through 7 and in the attached Summary of Laboratory Test Results, Table I. Swell consolidation testing indicates the samples of lean clay vary from non - expansive to highly expansive. Samples of the clayey sand were non - expansive and a sample of the claystone bedrock exhibited a low expansion potential. FOUNDATION RECOMMENDATIONS Based on the data obtained during the field and laboratory studies, we recommend spread footings constructed on a layer of non - expansive fill be used to support the proposed fire station. Shallow foundations placed on expansive soil similar to that encountered at this site can experience movement causing structural distress if the soil is subjected to changes in moisture content. A drilled pier foundation was considered, but.is felt to be too difficult to construct for the intended construction. Placement of the layer of non - expansive fill is intended to create a layer of material that has controlled expansion and support capabilities. The design and construction criteria presented below should be observed for a spread footing foundation system. The construction details should be considered when preparing project documents. 1. Footings placed on at least 4 feet of properly compacted, non - expansive structural fill should be designed for an allowable soil bearing pressure of 3,000 psf and a minimum dead load pressure of 1,000 psf. In order to satisfy the minimum dead load pressure and minimum footing width criteria, it may be necessary to concentrate loads by using a grade beam and pad or similar foundation design. If this system is used, a void should be provided beneath the grade beams between pads. Wall -on -grade construction is not acceptable to achieve the minimum dead load. { Kumar & Associates, Inc. - 5- 2. All soils within 4 feet of footing grade should be removed to allow placement of the layer of non - expansive fill. Any existing fill remaining below the building footprint, after overexcavation to the 4 -foot level, should be removed prior to fill replacement. Fill placed for foundation support should be compacted to 98% of the maximum standard Proctor density at or above the optimum moisture content. New fill should extend down from the edges of the footings at a 1 horizontal to 1 vertical projection. 3. Fill placed for foundation support should consist of a soil having at least 25% passing the No. 200 sieve and a plasticity index less than 15. Portions of the excavated materials may be suitable for reuse as structural fill, but will probably require selective excavation. Due to the erratic occurrence of the various soils, we cannot quantify the amount of material that will be reusable. 4. Based on experience, we estimate total settlement for footings designed and constructed as discussed in this section will be approximately 1 inch. Differential settlements across the building are estimated to be approximately '/z to % of the total settlement. 5. Spread footings placed on granular soils should have a minimum footing width of 18- inches for continuous footings and 24- inches for isolated pads. 6. Exterior footings and footings beneath unheated areas should be provided with adequate soil cover above their bearing elevation for frost protection. Placement of foundations at least 36 inches below the exterior grade is typically used in this area. 7. The lateral resistance of a spread footing placed on properly compacted structural fill material will be a combination of the sliding resistance of the footing on the foundation materials and passive earth pressure against the side of the footing. Resistance to sliding at the bottoms of the footings can be calculated based on a coefficient of friction of 0.3. Passive pressure against the sides of the footings can be calculated using an equivalent fluid unit weight of 175 pcf. The above values are working values. Compacted fill placed against the sides of the footings to resist lateral loads should be a nonexpansive material. Fill should be placed and compacted to at least 95% of the maximum standard Proctor density at a moisture content near optimum. Kumar & Associates, Inc. In 8. Continuous foundation walls should be reinforced top and bottom to span an unsupported length of at least 10 feet. 9. A representative of the geotechnical engineer should observe all footing excavations prior to concrete placement. SEISMIC CONSIDERATIONS The Colorado Front Range is located in a low seismic activity area. The soil profile generally consists of clayey soils overlying claystone bedrock. The overburden soils classify as UBC Soil Profile Type D or IBC Site Class S and the bedrock classifies as UBC Soil Profile Type C or IBC Site Class S The weighted average indicates a UBC design Soil Profile Type for the site of D or an IBC design Site Class S Based on the subsurface profile and site seismicity, liquefaction is not a design consideration. FLOOR SLABS Floor slabs present a difficult problem where moderately expansive materials are present near floor slab elevation because sufficient dead load cannot be imposed on them to resist the uplift pressure generated when the materials are wetted and expand. The most positive method to avoid damage as a result of floor slab movement is to construct a structural floor above a well - vented crawl space. The floor would be supported on grade beams and piers the same as the main structure. Based on the moisture- volume change characteristics of the materials encountered; we believe slab -on- ground construction may be used,. provided the risk of distress resulting from slab movement is accepted by the owner. The following measures should be taken to reduce the damage which could result from movement should the underslab materials be subjected to moisture changes. Floor slab movements can be mitigated by providing a zone of non - expansive, relatively impervious fill directly beneath the slab. Some of this type of fill material may be available on- i site, but likely would require importation to the site or chemical modification of the on -site soils. The relative effectiveness of the select fill layer in reducing slab movement is generally proportional to its.thickness. Kumar & Associates, Inc. -7- We are unable to predict the magnitude of potential floor slab movement without extensive sampling and testing, and even then there is uncertainty in such predictions. Increased thicknesses of nonexpansive fill result in a reduced thickness of expansive soil potentially causing heave, and provide additional confinement to the underlying expansive materials, thereby resulting in less movement potential. Whether placing nonexpansive fill beneath the floor slabs to provide a reasonably low potential for floor slab movement is less costly than a structural floor should be evaluated prior to selecting the final floor system. If slab on ground floors are selected, we recommend the existing expansive soils be subexcavated to a depth of at least 5 feet below the bottom of the floor slab elevation or to a depth sufficient to remove all existing fill material, if found to extend below the 5 foot level. On- site clays and claystone should not be used as fill under slabs. This fill zone should extend at least 5 feet beyond the foundation grade beams. Fill placed within 5 feet of the floor slab subgrade elevations should meet the following requirements: Percent Passing No. 200 Sieve Minimum 25 Liquid Limit Maximum 30 Plasticity Index Maximum 15 Source materials not meeting the above liquid limit and plasticity index criteria may be acceptable (provided the minimum, percentage passing the No. 200 sieve is satisfied) if the swell potential when remolded to 95% of the ASTM D 698 (standard Proctor) maximum dry density at optimum moisture content under a 200 psf surcharge pressure does not exceed 1 %. Evaluation of potential sources would then require determination of laboratory moisture- density relationships and swell consolidation tests on remolded samples, thereby adding time and cost to evaluate proposed fill materials. The geotechnical engineer should evaluate the suitability of proposed fill materials. Fill placed under floor slabs should be placed and compacted to at least 95% of the ASTM D 698 (standard Proctor) maximum dry density within 2 percentage points of the optimum moisture content. Prior to placing the underslab fill, the natural soils should be scarified to a depth of 8 inches, adjusted to a moisture content near optimum, and recompacted to provide a uniform base for fill placement. Kumar & Associates, Inc. C1 The natural clay soil encountered during this study is not suitable for use in compacted fill beneath floor slabs. Mixing of the natural clay soils with off -site granular soils may be considered to produce nonexpansive fill material. The mixed soil should meet the above percent passing the No. 200 sieve and remolded swell potential criteria. Difficulties may be encountered mixing these soils. Rototilling or similar mixing to uniformly blend the sand and clay would be required. Laboratory testing should be performed to evaluate the feasibility of mixing and determine the mix proportions. Other alternatives such as mixing lime or fly ash with the on -site soils can be considered, but can be costly for small projects such as this. We can provide additional information regarding the use of amendments, if requested. The following construction details should be considered in the design of the building slabs: 1. Floor slabs should be separated from all bearing walls and columns with expansion joints, which allow unrestrained vertical movement. 2. Interior nonbearing partitions resting on floor slabs should be provided with slip joints to that, if the slabs move, the movement cannot be transmitted to the upper structure. This detail is also important for wallboards, stairways and door frames. Slip joints which will allow at least 2 inches of vertical movement are recommended. Slip joints should preferably be placed at the bottoms of the walls so differential slab ' movement will not damage the partition wall. If slab bearing masonry block or steel stud partitions are constructed, the slip joints will have to be placed at the tops of the walls. If slip joints are provided at the tops of walls and the floors move, it is likely the partition walls will show signs of distress, such as cracking. An alternative, if masonry block walls or other walls without slip joints at the bottoms are required, is to found them on grade beams and piers and to construct the slabs independently of the foundation. If slab bearing partition walls are required, distress may be reduced by connecting the partition . walls to the exterior walls using slip channels. Floor slabs should not extend beneath exterior doors or over foundation grade beams, unless saw cut at the beam after construction. L Kumar & Associates, Inc. 0 3. Floor slab control joints should be used to reduce damage due to shrinkage cracking. Joint spacing is dependent on slab thickness, concrete aggregate size, and slump, and should be consistent with recognized guidelines such as those of the Portland Cement Association (PCA) or American Concrete Institute (ACI). The joint spacing and slab reinforcement should be established by the designer based on experience and the intended slab use. The requirements for slab reinforcement should be established by the designer based on experience and the intended slab use. 4. A minimum 4 -inch layer of free - draining gravel should be placed beneath the slabs. This material should consist of minus 2 -inch aggregate with less than 30% passing the No. 4 sieve and less than 5% passing the No. 200 sieve. The granular layer will prevent capillary water rise, aid in drainage and reduce slab curling due to differential cure. 5. If moisture - sensitive floor coverings will be used, additional mitigation of moisture penetration into the slabs, such as by use of a vapor barrier, may be required. The vapor barrier may be used in lieu of the gravel layer recommended above. If an impervious vapor barrier membrane is used, special precautions will be required to prevent differential curing problems which could cause the slabs to warp. ACI 302.1R addresses this topic. 6. All plumbing lines should be tested before operation. Where plumbing lines enter through the floor, a positive bond break should be provided. Flexible connections should be provided for slab- bearing mechanical equipment. The precautions and recommendations itemized above will not prevent the movement of floor slabs if the underlying expansive materials are subjected to alternate wetting and drying cycles. However, the precautions should reduce the damage if such movement occurs. WATER SOLUBLE SULFATES The concentration of water soluble sulfates measured in samples obtained from the exploratory borings was measured to be less than 0.02 %. This concentration of water soluble sulfates represents a Class O level of severity for exposure in accordance with the guidelines presented by the American Concrete Institute (ACI). The guidelines have severity levels for potential l exposure of Class O through Class 3 as indicated by ACI 201.2R. Kumar & Associates, Inc. -10- Based on this information, we believe special sulfate resistant cement will not be required for concrete exposed to the on -site soils. UNDERDRAIN SYSTEM Due to the high water usage associated with fire stations, the structure should be protected by an underdrain system. Although free water was encountered below anticipated slab level during our field exploration, our experience indicates local temporary perched water conditions can develop at the base of the overexcavation after development. An underdrain system should consist of a layer of free - draining granular material beneath the floor slab connected to a perimeter drain. Free - draining granular material used in the drain system should contain less than 5% passing the No. 200 sieve, less than 30% passing the No. 4 sieve and have a maximum size of 2 inches. The drains should consist of drain pipe placed in the bottom of a trench constructed around the exterior perimeter of the overexcavated soils and surrounded above the invert level with free - draining granular material. The free - draining backfill should extend up to the slab level and periodic connections be made between the underslab gravel and drainage gravel in the underdrain system. The perimeter drain should be at least 4 inches in diameter. The drain lines should be placed at least 5 feet below the floor level and graded to a sump at a minimum slope of 1/2 %, where water can be removed by pumping or gravity drainage. SURFACE DRAINAGE Proper surface drainage is very important for acceptable performance of the fire station structure during construction and after the construction has been completed. Drainage recommendations provided by local, state and national entities should be followed based on the intended use of the structure. The following recommendations should be used as guidelines and changes should be made only after consultation with the geotechnical engineer. 1. Excessive wetting or drying of the foundation, floor slab and pavement subgrades should be avoided during construction. 2. Exterior backfill should be compacted at a moisture content within 2 percentage points of the optimum. Kumar & Associates, Inc. -11- 3. The ground surface surrounding the exterior of the building should be sloped to drain away from the foundation in all directions. We recommend a minimum slope of 12 inches in the first 10 feet in unpaved areas. Site drainage beyond the 10 -foot zone should be designed to promote runoff and reduce infiltration. A minimum slope of 3 inches in the first 10 feet is recommended in the paved areas. These slopes may be changed as required for handicap access points in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act. 4. The upper 1 foot of the backfill should be relatively impervious material compacted as above to limit infiltration of surface runoff. 5. Ponding of water should not be allowed in backfill material or in a zone within 10 feet of the foundation walls, whichever is greater. 6. Roof downspouts and drains should discharge well beyond the limits of all backfill. 7. Landscaping which requires relatively heavy irrigation and lawn sprinkler heads should be located at least 10 feet from foundation walls. Irrigation schemes are available which allow placement of lightly irrigated landscape near foundation walls in moisture sensitive soil areas. Drip irrigation heads with main lines located at least 10 feet from the foundation walls are acceptable provided irrigation quantities are limited. 8. Plastic membranes should not be used to cover the ground surface adjacent to foundation walls. 9. Care should be taken when compacting around the foundation walls to avoid damage to the structure. Hand compaction procedures, if necessary, should be used to prevent lateral pressures from exceeding the design values. PAVEMENT THICKNESS DESIGN A pavement section is a layered system designed to distribute concentrated traffic loads to the subgrade. Performance of the pavement structure is directly related to the physical properties of the subgrade soils and traffic loadings. Kumar & Associates, Inc. -12- Subgrade Materials Based on the field and laboratory studies, tested samples of the subgrade materials at the site classify as A -2 -7, A -6 and A -7 -6 with group indices between 0 and 21, in accordance with the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials ( AASHTO) classification. These soils would generally be considered to provide poor subgrade support. For design purposes, an R -value of 5 was selected for pavement thickness design. This R -value correlates to an effective modulus of subgrade reaction of 20 pci in accordance with AASHTO correlation procedures. Design Traffic We have not been provided with site specific traffic data for the project. Based on our experience with other fire station projects, we anticipate that the traffic will be represented by an EDLA 20 which allows for both automobile and fire truck traffic. This traffic correlates to a 20 year, 18 -kip equivalent single axle load (ESAL) of 146,000. Pavement Sections A pavement thickness design was performed using the DARWin Pavement Design and Analysis System program (based on 1993 AASHTO pavement design procedures). Based on these calculations, we recommend the drives and parking lots be paved with a minimum 7 inch Portland cement concrete pavement. Pavement Materials The concrete pavement should meet the requirements of Section 700 of the CDOT Standard Specifications. Class A concrete having a minimum 28 -day compressive strength of 4,000 psi should be used. Concrete should be air entrained with approximately 6% air and should have a minimum cement content of 6 sacks per cubic yard. The concrete should be provided with joints as indicated in the specifications. Concrete should be cured by protecting against loss of moisture, rapid temperature changes, and mechanical injury for at least 3 days after placement. Sub-grade Preparation Prior to paving, the subgrade should be prepared by moisture conditioning the soils within 1 foot of the pavement subgrade to a moisture content within 0% to 3% above the optimum moisture content, as determined by the standard Proctor moisture - density relationship (ASTM D 698). The moisture conditioned zone and any fill required to achieve the subgrade level should be compacted to 95% to the maximum D 698 density. The subgrade should be proofrolled with a heavy pneumatic tired vehicle prior to paving. Any areas that deflect significantly should be reprocessed and recompacted or stabilized with lime or cement as required. The moisture content of the subgrade should be maintained until the pavement is placed. j Kumar & Associates, Inc. -13- Drainage The collection and diversion of surface drainage away from paved areas is extremely important to the satisfactory performance of pavement. Surface drainage design should provide for the removal, of water from paved areas and prevent the wetting of the subgrade soils. DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION SUPPORT SERVICES Kumar & Associates, Inc. should be retained to review the project plans and specifications for conformance with the recommendations provided in our report. We are also available to assist the design team in preparing specifications for geotechnical aspects of the project, and performing additional studies if necessary to accommodate possible changes in the proposed construction. We recommend that Kumar & Associates, Inc. be retained to provide observation and testing services to document that the intent of this report and the requirements of the plans and specifications are being followed during construction, and to identify possible variations in subsurface conditions from those encountered in this study so that we can re- evaluate our recommendations, if needed. LIMITATIONS This study has been conducted in accordance with generally accepted geotechnical engineering practices in this area for exclusive use by the client for design purposes. The conclusions and recommendations submitted in this report are based upon the data obtained from the exploratory borings at the locations indicated on Fig. 1, and the proposed type of construction. This report may not reflect subsurface variations that occur between the exploratory borings, and the nature and extent of variations across the site may not become evident until site grading and excavations are performed. If during construction, fill, soil, rock or water conditions appear to be different from those described herein, Kumar & Associates, Inc. should be advised at once so that a re- evaluation of the recommendations presented in this report can be made. Kumar & Associates, Inc. is not responsible for liability associated with interpretation of subsurface data by others. The scope of services for this project does not include any environmental assessment of the site or identification of contaminated or hazardous materials or conditions. If the owner is concerned about the potential for such contamination, other studies should be undertaken. Kumar & Associates, Inc. -14- Swelling soils occur on this site. Such soils are stable at their natural moisture content but will undergo volume changes with changes in moisture content. The extent and amount of perched water beneath the building site as a result of area irrigation and inadequate surface drainage is difficult, if not impossible, to foresee. The recommendations presented in this report are based on current theories and experience of our engineers on the behavior of swelling soil in this area. The owner should be aware that there is a risk in constructing a building in an expansive soil area. Following the recommendations given by a geotechnical engineer, careful construction practice and prudent maintenance by the owner can, however, decrease the risk of foundation movement due to expansive soils.
