Meredith Reckert, Community Development Department, presented the staff report. She submitted the comprehensive plan, zoning ordinance, subdivision regulations, case file and packet materials, and the digital presentation into the record. She stated that all notification and posting requirements have been met; therefore, there is jurisdiction to hear the case. Alan White, Director of Community Development outlined the Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy and its relevance to the application. He stated that this is the kind of project that the NRS envisioned. City Attorney Gerald Dahl briefed City Council on the definition of spot zoning and its relevance to the application.

CITY COUNCIL MINUTES: April 24, 2006 Page -3- The following individuals testified in opposition to the application: Don Whetsel, 8770 W. 38th Avenue (donated his time to Louise Turner) Bob Olsen, 5050 Raleigh Street (donated their time to Louise Turner) Katherine Murphy, 2960 Upham Street Claudia Worth, 4650 Oak Street Kevin Murphy, 3050 Upham Court, submitted three petitions circulated among the neighbors, encouraging Council to deny the application, to declare the property a historic landmark and to purchase the property for public use.

CITY COUNCIL MINUTES: April 24, 2006 Page -4- Recess called at 8:59 p.m. Reconvened at 9:10 p.m. The following spoke in support of the development plan: John Villachica, 9695 W. 44th Avenue Alan Wyngarden, 8900 W. 351h Avenue David Engleberg, partner of Andy Miller's in the application, spoke in support of their application. We have solved the preponderance of the issues for the site. He read a note of support for the development from near-by resident Jill Strunk. Joe Drew, 6660 W. 29th Avenue Kim Calomino, 4070 Dover Street Gretchen Cerveny, 3425 Moore Street Their comments included, but were not limited to: The project allows the town to thrive and preserve our history; the project.looks forward; it will support jobs and families; this will beautify a dead street corner; this will better our community and preserve our history; this has always been a commercial property, regardless of the zoning; our community needs places to shop, jobs, and this makes for a more vibrant community; why wouldn't we want this; the status quo has not served us well; ask the Council as leaders of the City to support the project; Wadsworth is not suitable for low-density residential; leaving the property the way it is would not be fair or economically feasible, and we need to find the highest and best use; it is not using eminent domain; it does not have a Wal-Mart or a Walgreens, and the developer is not asking for city money; a mix of uses is what creates a vibrant community and neighborhood; the development will retain the basic character; it is in the best interests of Wheat Ridge as a whole. Please approve the change in zoning for the long-term benefit of Wheat Ridge and its many other citizens who are not here tonight; what message do you want to send to other developers who want to come to Wheat Ridge; be a City of progress and revitalization.

Our initial work relates to the pergola. We have documented the existing structure with numerous photographs and drawings. Each component will be tagged with proper descriptions of its place within the entire structure. We plan on dismantling the structure and storing all components under cover. This will allow us to analyze the structure to determine if existing components can be retained. It may prove necessary to replace or replicate the components if they are not structurally sound. Initial exposure of the property to potential tenants will be enhanced due to increased visibility while the pergola is down. We are progressing with our objectives of finding a home for the little house and barn. We are doing on-site surveys of the existing topography in preparation for confirming drainage requirements. I await your direction on the person to review the existing vegetatiga-.As we proceed, you will be kept informed of our activities.

Attorney Richard V. Lopez LOPEZ LAW OFFICE 4450 Arapahoe Avenue, Suite 100 Boulder, CO 80303 Phone Number: 303-415-2585 Fax Number: 303-415-0932 E-mail: tvlopez@aol.com Atty. Reg. 21373 COMPLAINT Plaintiffs Harry Cook, Helen Cook, Ed Eastman, Kathy Eastman, Katherine Murphy, Kevin Murphy, John Puckett, Katy Snyder, Donald Wilson, and Susanna Wilson individually and as members of the Wheat Ridge Neighborhood Preservation Association, a nonprofit corporation formed under the law of Colorado, by their attorney, Richard V. Lopez, for their Complaint against Defendants City of Wheat Ridge and the Wheat Ridge City Council, state as follows: 1. JURISDICTION AND PARTIES 1. Plaintiffs are individual property owners residing in Jefferson Couuty, in the City of Wheat Ridge, Jefferson County state oT' Colorado. (hereinafter "Plaintiffs"). 2. Plaintiff Wheat Ridge Neighborhood Preservation Association (hereinafter "Neighborhood Preservation Association") is a nonprofit corporation consisting of resident members residing in the City of Wheat Ridge, Jefferson County, State of Colorado. 3. Defendants City of Wheat Ridge (hereinafter "City") and the Wheat Ridge City Council (hereinafter "City Council") are unauthorized pursuant to Colorado Revised Statutes ("C.R.S. 29-20-101, et seq. and C.R.S. 29-20-101, et seq. to provide for the zoning of all private and public land structures located within the incorporated boundaries of the City. 4. At the April 24, 2006 public hearing, the City Council approved a zone change from R-2 to Planned Commercial Development and approved an Outline Development Plan for a proposed development known as the Wadsworth Exchange WZ-05-10/Pharo located at 7495 W. 29"' Avenue, Wheat Ridge, Colorado (hereinafter "Wadsworth Exchange"). 5. The zone change is effectively "spot zoning" and designed to relieve this particular property owner of zoning restrictions. Clark v. Boulder. 362, P.2d 160 (Colo. 1961). The zone change does not fully comply with the Wheat Ridge comprehensive plan by zoning land for commercial instead of residential uses. 6. Venue is proper as the above matter concerns property located in Jefferson County, State of Colorado. 7. Plaintiffs have exhausted all relief available and now must seek relief from the Court. CLAIM FOR RELIEF (Certiorari Review Pursuant to Rule 106(a)(4)) 8. Plaintiffs incorporate by reference the allegations contained in all proceeding paragraphs as if set forth fully herein. 9. In rezoning the Wadsworth Exchange Property, the City Council exercised a quasi-judicial function. 10. The City Council abused its discretion by approving the rezoning as described below. 11. The Wheat Ridge Code of Laws zone change criteria was not satisfied. The City of Wheat Ridge comprehensive plan designates the norther portion of the Wadsworth Exchange property for single family detached residential and existing two family conforming structures and lots. The City of Wheat Ridge staff noted that "The proposed rezoning would be clearly inconsistent with this designation." City of Wheat Ridge Planning 2 Division Staff Report, March 16, 2006,Case No W7-05-10/ Pharo, page 6, ¶ V(3). 12. The City of Wheat Ridge comprehensive plan designates the Wadsworth Exchange area future land uses as "Small Office/Business Center." City of Wheat Ridge Comprehensive Plan, Tanuary 2000, page 2-28. The desirable uses listed in the comprehensive plan are distinct and different from the "soft drive-through facilities" proposed by the Wadsworth Exchange developer. City of Wheat Ridge Community Development Staff Report, April 24, 2006, page 4, ¶ IV. 13. At the March 16, 2006 City of Wheat Ridge Planning Commission meeting, a majority of the Commissioners recommended denial of the Wadsworth Exchange rezoning listing the following reasons as a basis for their decision: 1. There is no reason to expand commercial land use area in Wheat Ridge. Wheat Ridge must develop the commercial areas we have and not devaluate existing uses. 2. This request would create an isolated spot zone. 3. This request would. not benefit the neighbors. 4. The neighborhood objection is enough to constitute a legal protest. 5. Adjacent landowners would not support this project. March 16, 2006, Planning Commission Minutes, page 8. 14. Despite the Planning Commission recommendation of denial and the testimony of residents at the April 24, 2006 public hearing, the City Council approved the Wadsworth Exchange zone change. 15. Plaintiffs have not other plain, speedy and adequate remedy. WHEREFORE, Plaintiffs pray for a determination pursuant to C.R.C.P. 106(a)(4) that the City of Wheat Ridge and the City Council exceeded its jurisdiction or abused its discretion by rezoning the Wadsworth Exchange parcel from Residential-Two to Planned Commercial Development. Plaintiffs also seek recovery of attorney's fees and costs and, such other relief as the Court deems just. O. DATED: May 23, 2006.

WZ-05-10) ® PUBLIC HEARING ❑ BIDS/MOTIONS ❑ RESOLUTIONS Quasi-Judicial: Yes ❑ ORDINANCES FOR 1ST READING ® ORDINANCES FOR 2ND READING No Community Development Director City Manager EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The applicant requests approval of a zone change from R-2, Residential-Two to Planned Commercial Development (PCD) and for approval of a PCD Outline Development Plan for property located at 7495 W. 29 h Avenue. The Outline Development Plan accompanies the rezoning ordinance and sets allowable uses and development standards. It is general in nature and serves as basic blueprint for development of the property. A Final Development Plan and plat would have to be approved at a future date prior to any development occurring on the property. Planning Commission gave a recommendation of denial for this request at a public hearing held on March 16, 2006. This City Council action is related to Goal 2 of the Strategic Plan of planning for growth and opportunities. It is also related to NRS strategies of promoting development of the Wadsworth corridor by providing destination retail businesses, an expanded tax base and increased property values. COMMISSIONBOARD RECOMMENDATION: Planning Commission reviewed this request at a public hearing held on March 16, 2006. A recommendation of Denial was given for the following reasons: 1. There is no reason to expand commercial land use area in Wheat Ridge. Wheat Ridge must develop the commercial areas we have and not devalue existing uses. 2. This request would create an isolated spot zone. 3. This request would not benefit the neighbors. 4. The neighborhood objection is enough to constitute a legal protest. 5. Adjacent landowners would not support this request. There were eighteen people in the audience who spoke regarding the application. Additional written comments submitted into the record at the public hearing have been attached. Written opposition meeting the City's legal protest provisions has been filed regarding the application. This will require a three-fourths vote of the entire City Council to approve the zone change. STATEMENT OF THE ISSUES: Based on City Council action regarding the historic designation hearing, the ODP has been redesigned so that the existing house (mansion), the pergola and possibly the chapel are incorporated into the plan. The property owner has committed to a deed restriction on the house pad so that it will remain "as is" in perpetuity. If the zone change is approved, the remainder of the structures on the property would be offered for relocation to any interested party. If not relocated, the structures would be demolished and the remainder of the site would be developed for commercial uses including retail, office, restaurant and neighborhood service establishments. Based on testimony given at the Planning Commission public hearing, the following modifications have been made to the Outline Development Plan document: PAGE ONE 1. Use #6, "Automotive parts and supply sales" has been amended to read "Auto parts, supplies and aftermarket accessories, excluding those businesses which derive the preponderance of their revenue from over-the-counter sales of merchandise intended for customer installation. No on-site automotive repairs allowed; installation to occur within the allowable business". 2. Use #24, "Eating establishments, sit down" has been amended to read "Eating establishments - sit down, with liquor service". 3. Use #40, "Liquor stores with no drive through" has been amended to read "Liquor stores of high quality with no drive through". 4. Use #59, "Tavern, night clubs, lounges, private clubs and bars" has been amended to read "Taverns or bars with food service". 5. Under "Development Criteria", Maximum Building Height has been reduced from "3 stories or 45 feet" to "2 stories or 35 feet". PAGE TWO 1. The north and east property line adjacent to existing low density residential is to be improved with "6 foot solid fencing with overstory plantings". 2. Development areas 1, 2 and 3 have been identified in accordance with those areas referenced on page 1 of the ODP. 3. It is noted that trash areas be buffered with solid masonry enclosures with landscaping. 4. Pergola features are shown at all four comers of the property. 5. The pedestrian connection has been maintained but seating areas have been removed. If there are additional uses which are undesirable at this location, they could be excluded as conditions of an approval motion. ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED: Do not approve the zone change. This would leave the current Residential-Two zoning. FINANCIAL IMPACT: A one time review fee was collected for the processing of this application. Additional review fees will be required for the processing of the Final Development Plan and plat and building permit. Sales tax revenues may be generated if the property is rezoned for retail uses. Use tax will also be collected on any building materials. RECOMMENDED MOTIONS: "I move to APPROVE Council Bill No. 06-2006, Case No. WZ-05-10, a request for approval of a zone change from R-2, Residential-Two to Planned Commercial Development and for approval of an Outline Development Plan for property located at 7495 W. 29`s Avenue for the following reasons: 1. The property is unsuitable for low density residential use due to intensification of traffic and uses along the Wadsworth corridor. 2. This land was used as a fairly intensive non-conforming commercial use (mortuary and funeral chapel) for over 40 years. 3. Zoning and development of the site would support the Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy concerning the redevelopment of the Wadsworth Corridor. 4. The design parameters shown are generally consistent with the C-1 zone district. 5. The proposed document meets all requirements for a Planned Commercial Development Outline Development Plan. 6. The application meets the requirements of Section 26-112 D of the Code of Laws. 7. The February 27, 2006, City Council conditions have been incorporated into the Outline Development Plan. With the following conditions: 1. A tree assessment performed by a licensed arborist be submitted at the time of Final Development Plan and plat. (If it is appropriate to exclude liquor stores from the list of permitted uses, add #2 below to your motion.) 2.

REQUEST This application is for approval of a zone change from Residential-Two to Planned Commercial Development and for approval of an Outline Development Plan for property located at 7495 W. 29 h Avenue. The purpose of the zone change is for the construction of retail/restaurant development. See applicant's explanation of the request. {Exhibit 1, applicant lettez) II. EXISTING CONDITIONS The property in question is zoned Residential-Two, is comprised of 4.6 acres of land area and has street frontages on three sides; W. 29ffi Avenue on the south, Wadsworth Blvd. on the west and the interior curve of the intersection of W. 30th Avenue and Webster at the northeast corner of the property. An unbuilt half width of right-of-way for W. 30`a Avenue abuts the property on the north. xhYb ALFA sure ) The R-2 zone district is a low density residential zone category allowing single family dwellings and duplexes. If developed under the existing zoning conditions, approximately twelve duplexes could be built on the property. There are three primary structures on the property. On the north end of the site is a one and a half story frame farmhouse structure which was built circa 1892. Structures associated with the farmhouse include the original bam with brick foundation and a newer, contemporary double car garage. The farmhouse has an 842 square foot footprint. A driveway runs along the northern side of the structures from Wadsworth east to the 30`s Avenue/Webster intersection. On the southern portion of the property is what once was a primary residence of the Olinger family built in 1914. It is of brick construction, contains a 3300 square foot footprint and has a red tiled roof. The interior of the structure was modified for office use. Other modifications to the original structure include a tented vinyl breezeway on the east side and a handicapped ramp on the west side. The third primary structure on the property is the chapel which was built in 1969-1970. It has similar architectural features to the house including the same brick pattern and red tiled roof. It has a basement, a porte cochere on the south side and is 3300 square feet in size. Other miscellaneous features on the property include a brick well house and a pergola running along the Wadsworth frontage. The pergola and the climbing roses along the support columns became an identifying feature for the property to the extent that the mortuary was called the "Rose Arbor Mortuary". A parking lot large enough to accommodate around 100 vehicles is located in the interior of the site. III. PROPERTY HISTORY It is unclear as to when and how the property was converted from residential to a commercial mortuary use. On August 5, 1969, the Jefferson County Board of Commissioners approved a zone City Council 2 WZ-05-10/Pharo for Wadsworth Exchange change on the property from R-2 to RCl subsequent to the issuance of a building permit for the chapel. Seven days later, the Mayor and City Council of the newly incorporated City of Wheat Ridge came into office. Neighbors and adjacent property owners filed suit to overtum the zone change in district court. In April of 1970, the court found that the rezoning was an unconstitutional exercise of zoning powers by the Board of Commissioners and ordered the City of Wheat Ridge to take action to rezone the property back to R-2. At that time a church (chapel) was a permitted use in the R-2 zone district The use of the property as a mortuary office and chapel is considered non-conforming. Since the property was sold, chapel services and the use of the mansion as offices have stopped. Under the existing zoning and development code, mortuaries and crematories are special uses in the C-1, C-2 and I zone districts. Principal, commercial uses are not permitted in the R-2 zone district. Churches are a special use in the residential zone districts. The historical landmark designation was not approved contingent upon several conditions. The conditions pertinent to the ODP have been incorporated. The property was subject to a historical landmark designation application filed by the Wheat Ridge Historical Society. It was reviewed by City Council at a public hearing held on January 9, 2006. The case was continued until January 23, 2006, and then February 27 so that negotiations could occur between staff, the property owner and the historical society. At the February public hearing a motion was made regarding Case No. WHL-05-01 to decline to approve the historical designation for the following reasons: 1. The absence of sufficient factors under Section 26-906 of the Wheat Ridge Code of Laws; 2. The property owner does not consent to the designation; and 3. The applicant and property owner have reached an agreement with respect to the preservation of certain structures and elements on the site. It was further moved that City Council action not take effect until the approval of an Outline Development Plan which meets the following conditions: 1. The Olinger house be retained in its present location and exterior condition; normal maintenance and upkeep expected. 2. The interior of the main house may be used for any purpose permitted by the then-current zoning. 3. The existing pergola shall be moved, if feasible, to a location or locations on the subject property or shall be reconstructed at one or more locations on the subject property. 4. An option to acquire the old house and barn on the site (for no monetary consideration) shall be granted to any responsible organization, conditioned upon such option being exercised and buildings moved off of the site prior to the initiation of any construction on the site by the owner. 5. a. No application for a demolition permit shall be accepted, nor any such permit issued by the City for the Olinger house (mansion) or the pergola until the pending ODP application for the subject property has either been approved or denied, pursuant to the customary review process for such applications. City Council WZ-05-10/Pharo for Wadsworth Exchange b. The architectural design of any new structures on the property will be consistent with the elements of the architectural style of the Olinger house, including such elements as, by way of example, roof lines and shapes, building materials and colors, window patterns, building size, building mass. 6. The property owner shall have consented to the foregoing conditions of an Outline Development Plan approval on the record before the City Council. IV. OUTLINE DEVELOPMENT PLAN The Outline Development Plan (ODP), which accompanies a rezoning ordinance, sets the allowable uses and development standards for the property. Typically the Outline Development Plan is general in nature and serves as the blueprint for development of the property by showing approximate areas of landscaping, building footprints and parking. The Outline Development Plan is also used to establish design parameters including maximum building height, minimum landscaped coverage and minimum perimeter setbacks. (Exlubrt3 :Outline L?,evelopinept Plari) Structure configuration The proposed Outline Development Plan is shown as preserving the house and chapel on the south side in their existing configurations (described as areas 1 and 2 on page 1). Verbiage has been included on the front page of the document addressing the relocation/reconstruction of the pergola in different areas on the property. The farmhouse and barn on the north end have not been incorporated into the Outline Development Plan. Use area 3 (the grounds) is indicated as the area for new construction located north of the existing structures remaining. The configuration of the new area may be a single structure or several smaller structures consistent with the three pads shown, to be determined at the time of Final Development Plan and plat. Maximum building coverage for all structures is shown as 30,000 square feet with overall maximum coverage by buildings and hard surfaces of 80%. Allowable uses Permitted uses were taken from the Commercial-One zone district regulations. Many of the normally permitted uses in C-1 have been eliminated based on traffic generation and negative impact on the neighborhood. Those eliminated uses include the following: auto sales, auto service and repair, fast food restaurants, gas stations, cabinet shops, carpet clearing, day care, electrical supplies and service, equipment rental agencies, exterminators, home improvement supply stores, locksmith shops, indoor amusement enterprises, indoor flea markets, motorcycle sales and service, schools, plumbing and heating supply stores, schools, and upholstery shops. Drive-through facilities have been eliminated from the liquor store category. Uses which are allowed to have "soft" drive-through facilities include banks, coffee shops, laundry and dry cleaning shops and pharmacies. No additional land use process is required for these uses. The use list includes churches with daycare and preschool (#17) and residential uses (#52). City Council 4 WZ-05-10/Pharo for Wadsworth Exchange Landscaping The ODP sets the minimum amount of landscaping at 20%. The property currently has an abundance of existing landscape materials. A variety of large trees are located around the house and chapel. Tree varieties include cottonwoods, oaks and blue spruce. The area to the northeast of the interior parking lot is park-like with trees and shrubs. A variety of fencing types belonging to the houses on Webster run along the eastern property line, varying from an absence of fencing to 8' high solid fencing. Another landscape feature is a sunken garden area with concrete walks and stairways on the east side of the chapel. The applicant has indicated that many of the existing mature trees are diseased or in failing condition. Although as many as possible will be saved, those that are in bad health or interfere with building pads will be removed. At the time of final development plan and plat, Staff will require a tree assessment performed by a licensed arborist. The pergola running along Wadsworth is over 300' long and 15' in width. The columns are 2' in diameter and constructed of concrete and stucco. The original wooden slats across the top of it have been replaced by vinyl. In its current configuration it is located in the area required for right-of-way dedication. Construction of lane improvements and an additional through lane with curb and gutter and separated sidewalk will require relocation/reconstruction of the pergola elsewhere on the site. xlnb4 aeraaluYrtt o eo atlon'' This is a condition of the February 27th City Council motion which was agreed to by the property owner. A solid wall or fence at least 6' in height in combination with landscaping will be required to be constructed along the east and north property lines. Access: Existing access to the site is by two primary curb cuts; one each on W. 29`h Avenue and Wadsworth. The 29 Avenue entrance is pushed to the east against the common property line with the row of homes on the west side of Webster. It is offset from the City Hall entrance by about 35'. The other primary access from Wadsworth is located north of the house. A second access point farther north on Wadsworth appears to only provide access to the farmhouse. This driveway provides access through to the Webster/W. 30`h Avenue intersection. Proposed access points are depicted on 29`h Avenue aligning opposite the access into the municipal building property and 500' north of the Wadsworth/29`h Avenue intersection. The 29'h Avenue access will be full movement. The access to Wadsworth will be restricted to right-in/right-out. The location of the Wadsworth access point may shift north or south of the location shown, to be determined at the time of FDP and plat. A pedestrian connection will occur at the northeast corner of the property at the Webster/W. 30`h Avenue intersection. No vehicular access will be permitted from this corner. Public Works has determined that a total of 45' of right-of-way/easement area will be required for future roadway improvements. A 20' right-of-way dedication will be required to accommodate public improvements with this development (lane widening, new through-lane, and separated sidewalk). An easement/reservation area will accommodate future widening and streetscape improvements. Both of these reservations are shown on the ODP document. An RTD transit stop is depicted north of the Wadsworth /W. 29 h Avenue intersection City Council 5 WZ-05-10/Pharo for Wadsworth Exchange Building Height/Minimum Setbacks Maximum building height is specified as 35' which is more restrictive than the 50' allowed building height in the RC and C-1 zone districts. Setbacks proposed are generally consistent with our commercial zone districts. Development Standards: The development standards depicted in the table are shown on the ODP. Future development of the site must comply with these standards. Item Requirement Maximum Building and Hard Surfaced Coverage 80% Minimum Setbacks From rights-of-way: 30' From northern property line: 20' From eastern property line: 20' Minimum Landscaped Coverage 20% Minimum Parking Required Refer to Section 26-501 of the Wheat Ridge Code of Laws for additional requirements Maximum Building Height 35' Signage Refer to Article VII of the Wheat Ridge Code of Laws Fencing Refer to Section 26-603 of the Wheat Ridge Code of Laws Exterior Lighting Refer to Section 26-503 of the Wheat Ridge Code of Laws Architectural Detail Refer to the Streetscape and Architectural Design Manual Staff concludes that the proposed development standards are generally consistent with those in the Restricted Commercial and Commercial-One zone district regulations. All requirements for a Planned Commercial Development Outline Development Plan have been met. V. ZONE CHANGE CRITERIA Staff has the following comments regarding the criteria used to evaluate a change in zone. 1. That the existing zone classification currently recorded on the official zoning maps of the City of Wheat Ridge is an error. The official zoning map is not in error. The parcel is currently zoned Residential-Two. City Council WZ-05- I O/Pharo for Wadsworth Exchange 2. That 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, and that the evidence supports the finding of the following. Commercial development along the Wadsworth Blvd. corridor continues to intensify. Wadsworth is one of the heaviest traveled corridors in the metropolitan area. On the city's street classification plan, it is designed as a major regional arterial and carries over 41,000 vehicles per day (1998 count). Based on increased traffic and intensification of commercial land uses, Staff concludes that there are changed conditions which make this property undesirable for low density residential use. Although the zoning on the property is R-2, this land was used as a fairly intensive non-conforming commercial use (mortuary and funeral chapel) for over 40 years. The use as a funeral home and chapel was at times quite intrusive to the neighborhood and surrounding street system. Many times both W. 29a' Avenue and Wadsworth would have traffic stopped for long periods of time while lengthy funeral processions exited the property. 3. That the change of zone is in conformance, or will bring the property into conformance, with the City of Wheat Ridge comprehensive plan goals, objectives and policies, and other related policies, and other related policies or plans for the area. The Comprehensive Plan future land use map designates that the northern one-quarter of this property should be used for Single Family Detached Residential and Existing Two Family Conforming Structures and Lots (Not to exceed four dwelling units per acre). The proposed rezoning would be inconsistent with this designation. This designation might have occurred without the knowledge that the parcel was under the same ownership as the parcel to the south. Conditions along Wadsworth have rendered the property undesirable for low density residential uses. The Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map designation for the southern three-quarters of the property is Small Office/Business Center (SO/BC). The Comprehensive Plan states that the Small Office/Business Center areas are to consist of smaller businesses, office, research development or lab spaces that may require the distribution of goods produced or fabricated on-site, by cargo vans and smaller trucks. Areas are located with easy access onto collector streets. The Comprehensive Plan lists the desired attributes of the SO/BC areas as: • Small office or incubator space which does not require high visibility from well traveled streets but may have a retail component as an accessory use. • Well landscaped. • No visible outdoor storage; trash areas screened. • Amenities such as outdoor sitting and eating areas, and pathways should be encouraged on-site for employees. • Vehicle circulation be handled internally on the site. • All materials, equipment, vehicles and activities be enclosed within the primary structure. City Council 7 WZ-05-10/Pharo for Wadsworth Exchange Desired uses are listed as workshops, contractor/trades, repair and equipment shops, professional services, research and development facilities and labs, offices. There are only isolated pieces of land designated SO/BC scattered throughout the City. Theses pockets of SO designation are at 50th and Kipling, the Youngfield corridor north of 38th Avenue and at 43rd and Kipling. The desired uses listed are more industrial in nature and more appropriate to an office/warehouse complex than what is being proposed as a retail site. The proposed retail development of the property is consistent with the commercial designation on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map. Other goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan which apply to this situation are: • Good urban design through the use of pedestrian connections, reduction of the number of access points on arterials and providing places for people to gather. • Supports a transportation network by providing adequate on-site circulation for vehicles and pedestrians and limiting traffic impact on adjacent neighborhoods. • Supports economic development efforts to preserve and enhance the City's tax base. • Provides a development which supports and complements adjacent residential development. • Provides a development which minimizes negative impacts to residential neighborhoods through effective buffers and landscaping. Given all of the forgoing considerations, staff believes that the requirements of Section 26-112D have been met. 4. That 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 subject property is surrounded to the north and east by low density residential land uses, primarily single family dwellings with some duplexes mixed in. Corresponding zoning is R-2 and R-IA. To the south are Hayward Park and the Wheat Ridge municipal building zoned Residential-Two. Property to the west is located in unincorporated Jefferson County and is utilized as a mortuary and cemetery. The proposed commercial zoning is compatible with adjacent residential use due to good urban design and the use of upgraded buffering to minimize impacts. 5. That there will be social, recreational, physical and/or economic benefits to the community derived by the change of zone. There will be economic benefits as a result of the zone change. If the property is rezoned to allow retail uses, retail sales tax will be collected. Zoning and development of the site would support the Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy concerning the redevelopment of the Wadsworth Corridor. 6. That 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 agencies can serve the property with upgrades to infrastructure, the cost of which will be borne by the applicant. City Council WZ-05-10/Pharo for Wadsworth Exchange 7. That 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 the adjacent properties. The property has been used for over 40 years as a mortuary/funeral chapel. This specific use was at times a heavy traffic generator. The preliminary traffic study indicates the site will generate 1471 daily vehicle trips (735 entering and 735 exiting the site). West 29`s Avenue is a collector street and has a signalized intersection with Wadsworth Blvd. Wadsworth is designated as a major regional arterial. According to the study, both streets have adequate capacity to handle the anticipated volume generated by the commercial development. Public Works will be requiring construction of an additional travel lane with this development. 20' of additional right-of-way is being requested to accommodate these improvements. An additional reservation has been included on the ODP document to accommodate future widening and streetscape improvements. 8. That the change of zone will not create an isolated or spot zone district unrelated to adjacent or nearby areas. The use of the property since the late 1960's has been as a commercial mortuary. The proposed change of zone will be consistent with other commercially zoned properties in the area. It is also supported by the commercial designation on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map. The issue of spot zoning needs to be looked at in context. Spot zoning is not simply a matter of a zone district designation being different than designations on adjacent parcels. The intent of prohibiting spot zoning is to preclude incompatible uses adjacent to each other and to preclude zoning actions which bear no relationship to the Comprehensive Plan. This parcel is designated in the Comprehensive Plan for non-residential uses. The Code requires that all commercial rezoning requests seek PCD designation. The uses proposed and their configuration are compatible with adjacent uses. In this context, the request is not spot zoning. VI. NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING The required pre-application meeting for neighborhood input was held on July 21, 2005. There were approximately 28 attendees from the neighborhood. Many of the questions asked pertained to traffic; in particular whether West 30a' Avenue would be extended from Wadsworth to Webster and whether vehicular access would be allowed at the 30a' Avenue/Webster Street intersection. Many of the neighbors were not in favor of any automotive-related uses, including gas sales. There was also opposition voiced regarding liquor stores fast food restaurants, and businesses that stay open until 2 AM. O xlnbrt;5; Ner` tiliorhood IvTeeting Reap and Exkubrt 6, Attendance __04) An additional meeting with the neighborhood was held on March 14, 2006. Around 25 residents from the neighborhood attended the meeting. The comments made by the attendees were similar to those expressed at the July 21, 2005 meeting. Attached is additional correspondence regarding the request. (Exhibit 7, Letters Received) City Council 9 WZ-05-10/Pharo for Wadsworth Exchange VII. AGENCY REFERRALS All affected service agencies were contacted regarding the ability to serve the property. The developer will be responsible for any needed upgrades to accommodate the proposed development. Specific referral responses follow. Colorado Department of Transportation: CDOT has granted conceptual approval of the proposed right-in/right-out access onto Wadsworth provided that a deceleration lane be constructed. Wheat Ridge Public Works: The Public Works Department has reviewed preliminary drainage and traffic information. They have determined that 45' of right-of-way/easement area will be required for future roadway improvements. A 20' dedication is required to at the time of FDP and plat to accommodate a new continuous travel lane, curb, gutter and separated sidewalk. Consolidated Mutual Water: Can serve the property with needed improvements at the developers expense. Wheat Ridge Sanitation District: Can serve the property by an 8" sewer main in W. 29ffi Avenue. Line upgrades and new taps will be the responsibility of the developer. Regional Transportation District: Has an existing transit stop on Wadsworth just north of 29"' Avenue intersection which must be accommodated on the Final Development Plan. Jefferson County Planning Department: Has commented that 20% landscaping may not provide adequate buffering for adjacent residential uses. Wheat Ridge Economic Development: In support of the NRS, this application meets the goal of redevelopment of the Wadsworth corridor. Uses in the PCD should permit those which would be compatible with adjacent residential areas. Uses which are saturated within the city such as auto repair and uses which do not generate additional revenue should be eliminated. Wheat Ridge Fire Protection District: Can serve. VIII. STAFF CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATION Staff has concluded that there are changed conditions in the area that have rendered the property undesirable for residential uses. The zone change proposal is consistent with the commercial designation on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use map. Staff has concluded that zone change to PCD supports the Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy of the redevelopment of the Wadsworth corridor therefore; a recommendation of approval is given for Case No. WZ-05-10.

Deja-vu (A French phrase meaning already seen) is certainly an appropriate term for the current situation the people in this neighborhood find themselves in today. In 1969, Jefferson County Board of Commissioners approved a zone change from R-2 to RC1 on this very same property. Neighbors filed a law suit against this rezoning and won. The zoning was changed back to R-2 and a chapel became a permitted use. Here we are back to square one - so it seems thirty seven years later Perhaps the City of Wheat Ridge thought that the people who filed the lawsuit in 1969 are permanently located at Crown Hill now but they are not. Several of them are here tonight. To the developer, they may seem like the living dead. To those of us who live in the neighborhood, they are our parents, our grandparents, our siblings, our friends and our neighbors. They are also our heroes-people who have stood up for what they believed in and for what they wanted to protect. They fought to preserve this neighborhood from commercial encroachment back then and had they not, the very houses that many of us now live in would likely not be here. The will of the people who have lived here and fought to keep their neighborhood residential in character is still strong. They will not go away. They will not give up. They will keep living and they will keep trying to preserve this area for themselves and for those who come after them. And their children who have grown up here will keep trying to preserve this same area. There are new neighbors who have moved in: newly married couples without children and parents with pre-schoolers and school-age children; retired individuals and couples who have moved here to purchase a smaller home in Wheat Ridge; and, single people who struggle with the high cost of housing in the Denver Metro area and who still wish to live in an affordable area in a good neighborhood. These people, too„will fight to preserve their homes and. the nature of their property. We already know that Mr. Andrew Miller, President of Sevo Miller, does not care a hoot about either the people in this neighborhood or the nature of our neighborhood. He has demonstrated this in many ways to the neighbors. It seems Mr. Miller's intent is to take a piece of the residential neighborhood and turn it into a commercial zone to benefit his pocketbook. Neighbors, obviously, have a problem with this because Mr. Miller's profit would come at our expense-as we believe that our property values will decline dramatically and the quality of our neighborhood will be radically diminished. From what I can tell, the City Administrators and STAFF seem to be interested in having a convenient place to go to do their banking, get a cup of java, lunch (and possibly dinner), have their laundry and dry cleaning done and then pick it and, perhaps, a bottle of liquor on the way home. But, of course, they can't really say this is so because people would be outraged so the official documents seem to refer to "potential sales tax revenue" if I'm not mistaken. Mr. Miller and the City establishment seem to be overlooking just one thing -the negative and detrimental impact to the surrounding low-density residential area. ATTACHMENT 2 I, personally, am against the rezoning to commercial for the following reasons: The property site is not appropriate for a commercial venture. It is likely that the commercial venture will not be successful because the most important ingredient of a commercial site is location, location, location. This is NOT the appropriate location, location, location. 100 percent of the people adjacent to and most impacted by the commercial rezoning are opposed to it. I know that many other local residents living further away from this property are also opposed to the commercial rezoning. The likelihood of declining property values for those who are currently residential homeowners. Likelihood of increased rental properties in the area due to owners choosing to live elsewhere Increased rental properties decrease neighborhood stability. Decreased neighborhood stability leads to increased crime. increased traffic flow and noise leading to deteriorating neighborhood quality Decreased air quality due to greater vehicle concentration and congregation Revenues from such a commercial site are not likely to be significant. If this is true, then the neighbors will be faced with the possibility of having a failed commercial site on the eastern edge of their neighborhood. City Staff who want to be able to drive their cars across the street or walk over to get their coffee, lunches, laundry and dry cleaning done during their work day and then, perhaps, pick it up along with a bottle of beer, wine or whiskey on their way back to THEIR neighborhoods in the evening are not likely to contribute much toward a significant revenue stream. If a commercial site should be successful there, something I seriously doubt, neighbors will be paying the price with the negative consequences just mentioned and some, probably, still unknown and/or unforeseen. In my opinion, the net effect of allowing the site at 291h and Wadsworth to become commercial would really mean that the whole residential area over time may change from residential to commercial and high-density residential. In the meantime, this would mean that remaining residents would be faced with fighting further rezoning applications from the City of Wheat Ridge. The net effect would not be neighborhood revitalization but neighborhood destruction unless by neighborhood revitalization, the city actually means removal of low density neighborhoods and the people who live in them and support for commercial and high-density residential development. A proper mix of commercial, residential and open space is what is needed in the City of Wheat Ridge. We do not seem to have people on our Planning Commission and in our city government who understand this principle or who want to understand this principle. What we seem to have are people who will allow commercial development to take place on whatever land becomes available wherever such land becomes available regardless of the context of the surrounding land (ie a cemetery or a residential neighborhood). It seems that if previous commercial development hasn't been successful elsewhere in designated commercial zones, then by Golly, the City will find new locations for more unsuccessful commercial development even if it's in a designated low-density residential zone. These assumptions do not make sense. We need to have the City of Wheat Ridge revitalize the existing commercial businesses in designated commercial zones that are not providing significant revenue and that could be providing such revenue. I am referring specifically to the 38th Street corridor between Wadswroth and Sheridan. We need the City of Wheat Ridge to focus on fixing what is broken rather than breaking another piece of property that doesn't need fixing. Somewhere, sometime this process of sprawling commercialization for the sake of commercialization (ie sales tax revenue) has to be stopped. We need true representatives of the people in the city of Wheat Ridge. We need people who care and who are willing to look around and see what effects these kind of decisions are having on the residents who live here in this city. What we need are successful commercial ventures in appropriate sites - not more commercial sites for the sake of commercial sites in designated and long-standing residential areas. We need to have a balance of commercial, residential and open space that works for the residents and the business owners and the City. We do not want scenarios where the City of Wheat Ridge is trying to derive benefit and sales tax revenues from a risky commercial development at the expense and to the detriment of the health, QK_ safety and welfare of the people who live nearby. It is possible to build scenarios where the residents and business owners can mutually benefit from their commingled location. 32"d and Lowell in Denver is an example of such a win-win scenario. v In this particular case (the property at 29th and Wadsworth), we do not have a win-win situation here. It is not even a win-lose situation. In my opinion, and in the opinion of others - not just those in the neighborhood, it is a lose-lose situation. H Why? Because the site itself is the most important element in a successful commercial venture. This is not an appropriate commercial site. Site access is poor from Wadsworth. Site access from 29thi$will destroy the residential neighborhoods nearby. r S J Trying to redesign a poor site will never make it a good site. The site is across from a cemetery for heaven's sake! That's not much of an additional commercial attraction though I'm sure that the developer was able to get a sweet deal for the D9 property. ~U (Personally, it is appalling to me that commerce seems to respect no bounds or to evince such W little regard for either the living or the dead.) Nature has spaces that are fallow and we must have them in our lives and in our cities, too. It would seem that the land directly across from a cemetery might be more properly left in such a condition. As we all know, commercial businesses change over time. Once the property is zoned 50(ilm commercial, people will have less control over what type of commercial business is established on that property in the future. This could have further future detrimental impacts to the neighborhood. We have already seen that allowing the permitted use of a chapel and mortuary on residential property has now become justification for increased commercialization of this property! Can commercial rezoning not lead us down the path to further commercialization? Will drive-throughs be added to existing liquor stores? In the future, will we have to fight adult books stores and X- rated entertainment? Now is the time for us to protect this property from a zoning designation that is not in keeping with the adjacent residential area. Since all the neighbors who have attended and are attending this and other public meetings are not in favor of the rezoning, will the Planning Commission recommend approval knowing that the people are overwhelming not in favor of such a change in zoning? Has it not crossed the minds of those who are supposed to represent the people of Wheat Ridge that those of us who are coming to the public meetings ARE IN FACT representative of the people of Wheat Ridge? Finally, what good is going to be served here by a rezoning of the property to commercial? For the City government or for the people who live in this area and in Wheat Ridge? And, lastly, for the business developer who has made a poor business decision and does not yet want to admit that he has? From my point of view, the City will not reap significant revenue flow. The developer will lose money on this property because the people will continue to fight the rezoning. The neighbors who live in this area will continue to have negative repercussions from this situation. However, there is a solid commitment from them that will endure what must be endured as they struggle for the second time for this land and for this neighborhood. What is the point of all this useless suffering that people are being put through as a result of misguided and ill-considered land use planning decisions made without their input and without sufficient consideration of historical factors (both physical and cultural)? Someone told me that the Planning Commission doesn't want to hear emotional and sentimental arguments about why the property shouldn't be rezoned, but I'm going to tell you about things that are emotional and sentimental anyway. I am going to tell you because it's important that a married couple in their late 70s and 80s who have lived in the same home for over fifty years are sitting in that same home upset, anxious and worried about their future. How will such a development affect their property, a home they had anticipated living in for the remainder of their lives? Will they suddenly have a street next door? Will they be forced to sell their homes because conditions become so undesirable? And they are not alone in facing this kind of trauma and turmoil. There are other couples like them and there are other widows and widowers who have invested in this neighborhood who are facing similar anguish and uncertainty over their future. I have talked to people who seem to say that this is just the way of "progress". No, this is not progress. This is greed at its worst. And to have seniors bear the brunt of the impact of such proposed commercialization is inhumane. They already fought 37 years ago to protect their property and, now, would you really have them fight again? Would you agree that such a fight would not even be a fair fight? These folks might not be your grandparents and great-grandparents, but they are grandparents and great-grandparents. They are our grandparents in our neighborhood and they need to be protected rather than subjected to this kind of mental and emotional anguish. To me, it is more than taking advantage of someone that is down. It is much more than that. It is a flagrant abuse of the elderly. It is a local version of the Katrina disaster in the making. Once again, the elderly have been left behind in their homes to weather out this newest storm and no one in City government has done anything to help them. In fact, City government seems to be colluding to create this very storm that threatens them. Please tell me that you are going to rectify this situation and not allow them to continue to be an overlooked sacrifice. Doesn't the welfare of human beings fit into the calculations of the members of the planning commission and the city of Wheat Ridge? Will the Planning Commission vote to sacrifice the lives and homes of these people so a developer can reap the dollars flowing by on the Wadsworth traffic stream and the city can pocket the change? Isn't such an approach Robin Hood in Reverse - stealing from the poor in order to support the rich? s~tt~ Please properly weigh the rights of these long-time residential property owners against the rights of a single developer, Andrew Mille y..who ha& become the recent owner5of one piece of property and carefully determine who you will support. . k 3 1~c r l nv -P v ` S ~ We need to have more win-win scenarios coming from the Planning Commission and the City of Wheat Ridge. The win-win scenario for this particular piece of property has not yet been determined. It appears that the lose-lose scenario is now before us here and before the Planning Commission. Please, we ask that the Planning Commission exercise Option B. We ask that the Planning Commission recommend DENIAL OF Case No. WZ-05-10, a request for approval of a zone change from Residential Two to Planned Commercial Development and for approval of an Outline Development Plan for property located at the 7495 W. 29thAvenue for the reasons given by me and by others who have also communicated these same and other reasons for disapproval. END The Outline Development Plan sets the minimum landscaping at 20%o and then precedes to note how the existing landscaping will be destroyed for one reason or another. The sunken garden is described as a landscape feature yet the architect at the neighborhood meeting referenced above has said they will not be able to keep the sunken garden on the property because it interferes with access. The pergola is to be moved because it's in the right-of-way dedication. The Jefferson County Planning Department has already indicated that 20% landscaping may not provide adequate buffering for adjacent residential uses. Access: Access to the site as a commercial property is not feasible and trying to make it feasible is only going to make a mess of the whole site. Entrance is proposed at multiple points because it seems to me the developer is trying to give access to City employees at the southeastern edge and to both vehicles and bus riders at the western edge as well as entry from the North and pedestrian access from the Northeast. What chaos! A developer that wanted to have respect for the commercial impact on the property would limit entrance and exit to the property to vehicles traveling north on Wadsworth. Instead the developer wants all roads to lead to Rome. How convenient for him. How devasting to us! Widening Wadsworth between 291n and 32nd Avenue is not a good idea. It will increase traffic congestion, increase the number of accidents and off-load existing and future traffic onto 32nd Avenue and 291h Avenue and the adjoining neighborhood streets. This will cause neighborhood deterioration. Zone Change Criteria 2. That a change in character in the area has occurred due to installation of public... The document notes that "The use as a funeral home and chapel was at times quite intrusive to the neighborhood and surrounding street system." And I suppose a commercial development with 3 new structures and two existing structures on the site will have less impact? This makes no sense. 3. That the change of zone is in conformance... How can destroying a neighborhood save it? How can such an action conform to the comprehensive plan goals, objectives and policies of the City of Wheat Ridge? Furthermore, 291h is not a collector street. It was never designed to be a ma~or thoroughfare. May I remind the city planners than many people have front yards facing 29` Avenue? Many people on 32nd Avenue have properties facing this street and some have the sides of their property facing this street. We do not want cargo vans and smaller trucks on 291h and 32nd Planning commission members, we do not want MORE traffic on 32nd Avenue or on 291h Avenue or on Wadsworth. We do not want you to further increase traffic in our neighborhoods period. Yes, this is possible. 4. That the proposed change of zone I quote: "The proposed commercial zoning is incompatible with adjacent residential use; however, the applicant is showing upgraded buffering to minimize impacts" The scale of the project is too big for the site. Buffering is not adequate because it is not possible given the configuration of the site and the adjoining neighborhood. 5. That there will be social, recreational On the contrary, any possible social, recreational or physical and/or economic benefits to the community derived by the change of zone will be offset by the detrimental impacts to the neighbors and neighborhood adjoining the property. I am not the only residential neighborhood who has vowed to boycott such a property. What kind of Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy for the redevelopment of Wadsworth Corridor can include forcing people in their homes to relocate after having lived here for more than 50 years? This seems Orwellian double-speak to me. 7. That the change of zone will not adversely aff ect That 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 the adjacent properties. More Orwellian double-speak. This is just exactly what the commercial develop will do. It WILL adversely affect public health, safety or welfare by creating excessive traffic congestion, creating drainage problems, or seriously reducing light and air to the adjacent properties. Indeed just fighting the rezoning application so far has negatively impacted those adjacent to the property and those who do not wish to see a commercial development situated there! Again, the people who have homes on 29th Avenue do not want additional traffic on their street. This document indicates that the site will generate 1471 daily vehicle trips (735 entering and 735 exiting the site). Would you like to see 1471 additional cars a day passing in front of or to the side of your house? Once side streets are introduced to motorists who would other pass by, they are more likely to make further use of such side streets to avoid traffic on Wadsworth. We do not want such introductions onto 29th and 32nd as major arterials are designed to handle such traffic. We do not wish to have our front and back yards becoming scenic designations for anonymous travelers. We are also against further widening of Wadsworth Boulevard as we do not wish to be a temporary dumping ground for Wadsworth traffic nor do we want to have Wadsworth Boulevard widened. 8. That the change of zone will not create an isolated or spot zone district unrelated to adjacent or nearby areas. The proposed change of zone WILL in fact create an isolated or spot zone district unrelated to adjacent or nearby areas. Hello? This is a residential neighborhood. There seems to be a mantra in city government - Wadsworth corridor, Wadsworth corridor. Just because there are now 410Aars on Wadsworth each day doesn't mean there should be 6200 on Wadsworth Boulevard next year. Population growth is one thing but concentration and congestion due to over-commercialization on Wadsworth is not desirable for a quality neighborhood. We want to maintain the quality of this neighborhood to as great a degree as possible. There are site locations more suited to commercial development. Let the City and the developers find those properties. Perhaps we need less growth and more quality in our neighborhoods. Perhaps there really is such a reality as TOO MUCH!!! This proposed zone change to the site is out of touch with the needs and desires of the neighbors who have expressed time and time again that they wish the property to remain non-commercial. 1 would have liked to comment further on this document but I only received it on Tuesday evening after the neighborhood meeting. There was not enough time for me to adequately address all the points made in the document. I hope to be able to do that at some future time in writing and would like to be able to submit that document to the Planning Commission as part of the public record on this case.

I reside at 5050 Raleigh Street in Denver. I was born and raised near the Olinger property where my father and grandparents have lived since 1908. Elements address My comments are limited to the Olinger House, the Pergola and the landscape elements on the south side of the site. The need for standards If you install an electric circuit the Planning staff will refer to the National Electric Code If you install a new toilet the Planning staff will refer to the Uniform Plumbing Code If you have new construction they will go to the Uniform Building Code For new development there are codes governing traffic, parking, landscaping, drainage There are standards for old buildings too They are called the Secretary of Interior Standards and there are four: For Historic Preservation For Historic Rehabilitation For Historic Restoration For Historic Reconstruction But not for relocation These standards are widely used For buildings that seek designation on the National, State Register of Historic Places But also other owners use them to retain historic elements in buildings not a Register Here in WR Vincenzas & Minellis restaurants retain exterior & interior historic elements Why adopt standards Standards provide guidance to the staff and to applicants Standards assure the community that historic elements will be retained Historic standards are needed along with other planning and building standards Concluding remarks I ask that the Wheat Ridge Planning Commission insist on the inclusion of standard for preservation, rehabilitation, restoration and reconstruction on the Olinger House, the Pergola and the landscape elements on the south side of the property to give meaning to the call this community has raised to "save the Olinger Mansion" Secretary's Standards--Treatment of Historic Properties Page 1 of 3 The Secretary of the Interior's Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties, 1995 Standards for Preservation 1. A property will be used as it was historically, or be given a new use that maximizes the retention of distinctive materials, features, spaces, and spatial relationships. Where a treatment and use have not been identified, a property will be protected and, if necessary, stabilized until additional work may be undertaken. 2. The historic character of a property will be retained and preserved. The replacement of intact or repairable historic materials or alteration of features, spaces, and spatial relationships that characterize a property will be avoided. 3. Each property will be recognized as a physical record of its time, place, and use. Work needed to stabilize, consolidate, and conserve existing historic materials and features will be physically and visually compatible, identifiable upon close inspection, and properly documented for future research. 4. Changes to a property that have acquired historic significance in their own right will be retained and preserved. 5. Distinctive materials, features, finishes, and construction techniques or examples of craftsmanship that characterize a property will be preserved. 6. The existing condition of historic features will be evaluated to determine the appropriate level of intervention needed. Where the severity of deterioration requires repair or limited replacement of a distinctive feature, the new material will match the old in composition, design, color, and texture. 7. Chemical or physical treatments, if appropriate, will be undertaken using the gentlest means possible. Treatments that cause damage to historic materials will not be used. 8. Archeological resources will be protected and preserved in place. If such resources must be disturbed, mitigation measures will be undertaken. Standards for Rehabilitation 1. A property will be used as it was historically or be given a new use that requires minimal change to its distinctive materials, features, spaces, and spatial relationships. 2. The historic character of a property will be retained and preserved. The removal of distinctive materials or alteration of features, spaces, and spatial relationships that characterize a property will be avoided. 3. Each property will be recognized as a physical record of its time, place, and use. Changes that create a false sense of historical http://www.cr.nps.gov/local-law/arch_stnds_8_2.htm 3/16/2006 Secretary's Standards--Treatment of Historic Properties development, such as adding conjectural features or elements from other historic properties, will not be undertaken. 4. Changes to a property that have acquired historic significance in their own right will be retained and preserved. 5. Distinctive materials, features, finishes, and construction techniques or examples of craftsmanship that characterize a property will be preserved. 6. Deteriorated historic features will be repaired rather than replaced. Where the severity of deterioration requires replacement of a distinctive feature, the new feature will match the old in design, color, texture, and, where possible, materials. Replacement of missing features will be substantiated by documentary and physical evidence. 7. Chemical or physical treatments, if appropriate, will be undertaken using the gentlest means possible. Treatments that cause damage to historic materials will not be used. 8. Archeological resources will be protected and preserved in place. If such resources must be disturbed, mitigation measures will be undertaken. 9. New additions, exterior alterations, or related new construction will not destroy historic materials, features, and spatial relationships that characterize the property. The new work will be differentiated from the old and will be compatible with the historic materials, features, size, scale and proportion, and massing to protect the integrity of the property and its environment. 10. New additions and adjacent or related new construction will be undertaken in such a manner that, if removed in the future, the essential form and integrity of the historic property and its environment would be unimpaired. Standards for Restoration 1. A property will be used as it was historically or be given a new use which reflects the property's restoration period. 2. Materials and features from the restoration period will be retained and preserved. The removal of materials or alteration of features, spaces, and spatial relationships that characterize the period will not be undertaken. 3. Each property will be recognized as a physical record of its time, place, and use. Work needed to stabilize, consolidate and conserve materials and features from the restoration period will be physically and visually compatible, identifiable upon close inspection, and properly documented for future research. 4. Materials, features, spaces, and finishes that characterize other historical periods will be documented prior to their alteration or removal. Page 2 of 3 http://www.cr.nps.gov/local-law/arch-stnds-8-2.htm 3/16/2006 Secretary's Standards--Treatment of Historic Properties 5. Distinctive materials, features, finishes, and construction techniques or examples of craftsmanship that characterize the restoration period will be preserved. 6. Deteriorated features from the restoration period will be repaired rather than replaced. Where the severity of deterioration requires replacement of a distinctive feature, the new feature will match the old in design, color, texture, and, where possible, materials. 7. Replacement of missing features from the restoration period will be substantiated by documentary and physical evidence. A false sense of history will not be created by adding conjectural features, features from other properties, or by combining features that never existed together historically. 8. Chemical or physical treatments, if appropriate, will be undertaken using the gentlest means possible. Treatments that cause damage to historic materials will not be used. 9. Archeological resources affected by a project will be protected and preserved in place. If such resources must be disturbed, mitigation measures will be undertaken. 10. Designs that were never executed historically will not be constructed. Standards for Reconstruction 1. Reconstruction will be used to depict vanished or non-surviving portions of a property when documentary and physical evidence is available to permit accurate reconstruction with minimal conjecture, and such reconstruction is essential to the public understanding of the property. 2. Reconstruction of a landscape, building, structure, or object in its historic location will be preceded by a thorough archeological investigation to identify and evaluate those features and artifacts which are essential to an accurate reconstruction. If such resources must be disturbed, mitigation measures will be undertaken. 3. Reconstruction will include measures to preserve any remaining historic materials, features, and spatial relationships. 4. Reconstruction will be based on the accurate duplication of historic features and elements substantiated by documentary or physical evidence rather than on conjectural designs or the availability of different features from other historic properties. A reconstructed property will re-create the appearance of the non- surviving historic property in materials, design, color, and texture. 5. A reconstruction will be clearly identified as a contemporary re- creation. 6. Designs that were never executed historically will not be constructed.

Charlotte and Claudia Worth have had numerous visitors and phone calls at the museum the last two Fridays since the decision was made at the City Council meeting on January 23rd, 2006 to postpone the fate of the Olinger property until Monday, February 27th. An update for those who were not able to attend the January 23rd council meeting: A large turnout of all the neighborhood and many residents from throughout the city and beyond filled council chambers. Petitions with hundreds of signatures were handed over to the city clerk and speaker after speaker shared reminiscences of the Olinger family. Our new mayor, Jerry DiTullio, had all those who wished to speak come forward, six at a time, to the front row where they were heard without time limit. Some residents had fascinating history to share and others just wanted to express their opinion that the Olinger property should receive historic designation. By in large it seemed that everyone who wished to speak - including the attorney representing those who plan to scrape the property to make way for new development - had their say and left with minimal frustration. 1~e crtnnot Ktv Ue -~Aan ~x ~y:C[ rye fie tG t .n K'A heart resi Des, oe *wt 6CovaK a D is at, CC, Zn ynjster~ our UuL 0.66C)es. ~~extthe•~+ avnoC~ i~z2iss~ And how is the Baugh House coming along?

Y"x 5/~ Pte, 6t/ Z U 6 STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE AND ARCHITECTURAL DESCRIPTION OF OLINGER RESIDENCE, 7495 WEST 29TH AVENUE The Olinger Family and Their Denver Legacy The city of Denver was formed in 1860 by the combination of the Auraria and Denver City camps at the confluence of the Platt River and Cherry Creek. These camps were established when it was reported that gold -vas discovered in Cherry Creek in 1858. This news created a huge boom in population and the development of what is now the Downtown, Lower Downtown, Capital Hill, Auraria Campus, and Chessman Park areas. As with any burgeoning pioneer community, one of the mainstay businesses is the funerary and undertaking concerns. This drew John W. Olinger (1851-1901) and his wife Emma (1861-1932) from Santa Fe, New Mexico, to the area in 1890 to establish one of the regions' foremost business entities, initially located at 150' and Platt Streets. In 1908, the Olingers built the first building in the area to be constructed as a mortuary in the Rocky Mountain region at 2600-16" Street (16"' at Boulder) and was operated by John W.'s son George W. Olinger Sr. (1882-1954) and mother, George's wife Margaret (1881- 1968) and John W's wife Emma: The growth of the business was marked in 1930 by the purchase of the Yeager Mortuary, located at Speer Boulevard at Sherman (this location was sold by the corporation in 1981). In 1944, the business partnership of Olinger, Bona & Van Derbur was formed between the Olingers and Joseph E. Bona (1887-1978), his wife, and Francis S. Van Derbur (1907-1984). By then, the families of Olinger and Van Derber were joined by the marriage of daughter Gwendolyn Olinger (1908-1996) to Francis S. Van Derbur. Their youngest daughter, Marilyn Van Derbur Atler, would win the Miss America title in 1958, and is currently a prominent speaker on the subject of child abuse. Expansion of the business partnership continued with the building of another Olinger Mortuary on East Colfax at Magnolia to service the Park Hill area in 1951. The 1950's also saw the former Joss Mortuary, 2775 South Broadway, convert to Olingers in 1953. The concern of Olinger Mortuaries, hic, was formed in 1959 with Francis Van Derber as President. Growth of the business was particularly strong during the 1960's, when Olinger Mortuaries, Inc. expanded into cemetery ownership, including the acquisition of Eastlawn Cemetery in 1963, the building of Evergreen Cemetery and the Mount Lindo Cemetery and Mausoleum the same year, and the purchase of the world's largest mausoleum with crematory, the Tower of Memories (built in 1926) in Crown Hill Memorial Park, Wheat Ridge. Mt. Undo Cemetery, located twenty minutes west of Denver, is the location of one of the area's most identifiable landmarks, the largest electrically-lighted cross in the world, which is illuminated nightly. With the death of George W. Sr. occurring in 1954, and the death of Margaret Olinger in 1968, their residence at 7495 West 29"' Avenue, directly across Wadsworth Boulevard from Crown Hill Memorial Park, was converted to another Olinger Mortuary in 1970. Modifications to the home include the addition of the "Wadsworth Chapel" to facilitate services. With the 1980's came further change and growth to the Olinger enterprise, including the purchase of the Chapel Hills Cemetery in 1985, the Highlands Cemetery and Mortuary in 1986, and the Noonan-Bettman Mortuary in 1987. It should be noted that all property holdings of Olinger Mortuaries, Inc., were sold to Morlan hrtemational, Inc. in 1987, and changed hands again in 1987 when they were sold to S.C. I. of Houston, Texas, the current owner of record. The growth and development of the Olinger legacy was due to five generations of a single Denver family and their business associates. Their contribution to the Denver economic climate, as well as Colorado history, was more than profound. This is illustrated by the fact that one of the most notable of Olinger funeral services was that of Colonel William F. Cody ("Buffalo Bill"), who died in Denver on January 10, 1917. His body was placed in a receiving vault at Olingers 16" and Boulder Streets facility until the service on June 3, 1917 and was buried on Lookout Mountain in Golden. The gravesite is considered one of the most revered landmarks in the state of Colorado. To all Denver area residents, the numerous Olinger facilities sprinkled throughout the region have remained a familiar and tasteful mainstay to the community, and a reminder of our rich cultural and economic heritage.' Description of Olinger Residence, 7495 West 29" Avenue: The former residence of Margaret and George W. Olinger, Sr_ is an estate (ca 1925) occupying the northeast corner of West 29' Avenue and Wadsworth Boulevard. Original elements of the property consist of the main residence, surrounding gardens, a stucco pergola colonnade roughly 200 - 300 feet long running parallel to Wadsworth Boulevard, well house, sunken garden, caretaker's home, and original barn. Remnants of the formal grounds are still in evidence all across the property. The main structure, (architect to be verified), sits deep on the lot facing south and is surrounded by many mature cottonwood trees. The home's original main entrance is accessed from 29°i Avenue by a double walkway flanked curbside by terra cotta-clad lanterns with lions-head details. Large terra cotta vessels flank the steps to the entrance, which boast globe-topped torcheres. A port-cochere is located on the west side of the building, with French doors leading directly into the home's Drawing Room. The original structure demonstrates intricate exterior brick patterning and eaveswork (see detail photograph), topped by a Spanish file roof, an unusual and opulent treatment for the area. The sightline from 29m Avenue denotes the structures' stately though restrained single-storied Prairie-style roofline, though a second story is in evidence at the rear of the house over the automobile compartments. The pergola delineates the western edge of the property and consists of a double row of stucco pillars, which are each at least 2 feet in diameter, connected overhead by a grape arbor (see detail photograph). Mature rose bushes grow at the base of each pillar. An original concrete pathway leads down the center of the colonnade north, toward the caretaker's house, past an original pump house constructed in the same style as the main structure. Remnants of the formal gardens, such as concrete garden steps, are evident all along the pergola. Original hooks which one held strings of oriental lanterns during summer parties hosted by the Olinger family in the 1920s, 1930s, and 1940s are still intact. The main building on this site was converted to an operating mortuary in 1970, and a large chapel was added to facilitate funeral services. Other modifications to the site and structure include the paving of a large portion of the rear gardens, extending almost to the caretaker's home (see detail photograph). This paving was done, however, with high regard to the large cottonwood trees in the area, most of which were spared removal. At this time the exterior glazed brick of the main residence was painted white. Among the most memorable elements on the property was the presence of three large-scale replications of statuary from antiquity (the Discus Thrower and Venus De Milo being the most recognizable), which were present until just recently, when their deteriorating condition mandated their removal. The main house, pergola, and surrounding gardens are already highly regarded by many long-time Denver residents as landmarks due to their sheer architectural majesty. The fact that the area was once primarily farmland dictates that most structures from that era are farmhouses or outbuildings leaning toward a purely functional and somewhat rural architectural nature. This fact alone sets the Olinger residence apart from any other historic estate in West Denver, whether extant or not, for it was built in a grand modified- Prairie style and was embellished with gracious components associated almost exclusively with the well-heeled Denver establishment of the early part of the 20`h century. True, estates such are this (the Bonfils Belmar, etc.) once dotted the farmland of the Front Range, however, this may be the one remaining country estate from early Denver on the West Side. It is incontrovertible that it should be revered as a symbol of early Denver society that is utterly irreplaceable. As of this date the surrounding area, though mostly residential, has succumbed to rapid commercial redevelopment (not all successful), and this particular property, with its elegant and graceful presence, adds rich historical value to Wheat Ridge. Simply put, it is a rare and beautiful architectural specimen in fundamentally pristine condition, further enhanced by the luxury of open space.- 1. Factual data courtesy of Donald M.

Plaintiffs - 'j - V. FINDINGS OF FACT, CONCLUSIONS THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS : OF LAW, AND ORDERS - OF THE COUNTY OF JEFFERSON, STATE : OF COLORADO, et al., - - Defendants - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - THIS MATTER having come on for trial this 31st day of by March, 1970, the plaintiffs being represented by George C. Aucoin - attorney at law, the defendant Board of County Commissioners and d' Robert Jackson being represented by Leonard L. Liss, County Attorney, fi .and the defendant City of Wheat Ridge being represented by Maurice Fox and Henry Nieto, attorneys at law, and the court, after consider- i- 3 f; the evidence and hearing statements of counsel, doth order, adjudge.. ing . - and decree as follows: FINDINGS OF FACT - The court finds that thisaction in declaratory judgment involves the rezoning of certain real property located at the inter- section of West 29th Avenue and Wadsworth Boulevard in Jefferson - County, City of Wheat Ridge, State of Colorado, which has been - .-formerly called and referred to as the Olinger. Estate. The court finds that upon application for. rezoning the ?s . Jefferson County Board of .County Commissioners -didin fact have jurisdiction to rezone the subject property because it was located c. F~-:i30 in the unincorporated area of Jefferson County. The court further finds that during the pendency of this particular zoning application, the citizens of the City of wheat Ridge voted to become an incorporated city;and further, the court finds that the Board of County Commissioners continued to accept jurisdiction and process the applications and in fact on or about August 5, 1969, did rezone said subject property from Residential 2 (R-2) zone district to Restricted Commercial (RC-1) district. The court finds further that said rezoning became effective on or about August 5, 1969, which was approximately seven. days prior to the swearing in of the mayor and other officials of the City of Wheat Ridge, State of Colorado. Further, the court finds that the subject property was zoned Residential 2 (R-2) for low density residential uses sometime on or about 1946 pursuant to the original zoning plan for Jefferson County. The court finds that in 1960 or 1961 the Jefferson County Commissioners, pursuant to a comprehensive study, adopted a Master Plan for the orderly development of the county and community and that this Master Plan specified that there would be Residential 2 (R-2) zoning for this immediate area surrounding the subject property. Further, Jefferson County continued to study and update its Master Plan, and this updated study for the Master Plan further called for Residential 2 (R-2) zoning for this area. The court finds that subsequent to this rezoning change a building permit was issued to the landowners which was promptly acted upon by the lando•Amers in question. The landowners were not made a party to this suit, and the court has no jurisdiction over these owners. The court further finds that plaintiffs are neighbors and abutting property owners and are citizens of the City of Wheat Ridge,. -2.-... I i':i-i31 County of Jefferson, and have a vested right to enjoy the heretofore announced residential zoning which was adopted in their respective neighboahood, as specified by the Master Plan. Further, the court finds that the only question before it is whether or not there was a constitutional. exercise of the zoning powers by the Board of County Commissioners, and in order for this rezoning change to be constitutional and legal it must bear some reasonable relationship to the plan for the orderly. development. of the community, or in this case the comprehensive plan. The court in determining this question refers to a resolu- tion passed by the Jefferson County Board of County Commissioners on or about August 5, 1.969, whereby the County Commissioners in Case No. B69-56 rezoned the subject property as previously stated. The court notes that the resolution states there has been a large increase in traffic along Wadsworth Boulevard; that there has been only a few residential building permits issued along Wads- worth Boulevard; and that commercial zoning amounts to the best economic use of the subject property, For these reasons the County Commissioners changed the zoning from residential to commercial. The court finds these reasons were not in conformity with the evidence presented to the County Commissioners, and their action was therefore arbitrary and capricious and not in the best interests. of the community. _ The court further finds that the Board of County Commissioners did not follow the recommendations of the County Planning Commission and the advice of the County Planning Director, Mr. Gary Latham to keep this area residential, which evidence was presented to them at the rezoning hearing. Further, the court finds that said rezoning would depreciate and devalue the plaintiffs' properties because said rezoning would l :.change the character of the neighborhood from residential to k; meow commercial, which is not in conformity with the comprehensive plan for. the development of the community. CONCLUSIONS OF LAW, AND JUDGMENT The court concludes as a matter of law that the rezoning f was an unconstitutional exercise of the zoning powers by the Board of County Commissioners of Jefferson County, because such rezoning would constitute "spot zoning" which has no relationship to the Master Plan and therefore would not be in the best interests of general public health, safety, and welfare. ?Additionally, the court finds and concludes that the Y of Wheat Ridge adopted the Zoning Regulations, the zoning maps:. existing zoning of Jefferson County without its own study or pl; the orderly development of the City of wheat Ridge. Therefore,' City accepted the bad zoning along with the good and should be 3 quired to reinstate the original zoning of R-2. THE COURT ORDERS that the City of Wheat Ridge take ap priate:action with all convenient speed to rezone the subject p erty for residential uses, R-2, subject to the property rights in the landowner by the issuance of the building permit heretof5 mentioned.. The Board of County Commissioners and Robert Jackson,: Building Inspector are dismissed from this action because the si 'property is now under the zoning jurisdiction of the City: of Who -Clerk to enter judgment accordingly. he - -I Journal of the Commissioners of -E I.9.

The Comprehensive Land Use Plan recommends residential developmer.= for this area and the proposed rezoning conflicts with that plan. However, the Apc_icant herein, in Case No. B67-89, had previously applied for rezoning within the sz-e rate-ory atd for the same use and purpose, but such previous application was withdrawn, v-cluntarily, until the Comprehensive Plan could be updated. Teat new Comprehensive Plan is in tie process of being prepared and is not completed as of this date. ThisBoard is of tie 'opinion that as a result of the character.of the area being changed and becatse auto general area is in a state of transition, as a result of many factors, the proposed rezoning sought herein will be in general agreer.ent with such updated Comore ensiv_ Plan. Among those transitional factors is the large increase of traffic alcrg Wads- worth Boulevard, upon which Boulevard the proposed rezoning abuts. A-itiorally, and within recent years, although some of the oropert_: existing on Wadswortt Boulevard is residentially zoned, only a few building per--its have been issued for the purpose of residential construction. For may miles on Wadsworth Boulevard only four building permits have been issued for the present zoning as new existing in this case and thu retention of such zoning amounts to an unreasonable economic use of the property. 2. Additionally, the, proposed use of the property conforms to other sesof property along Wadsworth Boulevard which have recently been developed,. and the proposed use herein will result in unified development-when considered from a totality standooir.t. Further, a similar use has recently been approved by this Board in the immediate area. The immediate area is, therefore, in a state of transition sufficient to grant the rezoning sought herein and such rezoning is in the best interests of the health, safety and welfare of.the citizens of the.County of Jefferson. NOW, THEREFORE, Be IT RESOLVED that rezoning application Case No. B69-56 is amend the Jefferson County Zoning Map No. 4 to include within the Restricted Commercial One (F-C1) Zone District and to exclude from the Residential Two (R-2) Zone District the following described r:incorporated area of Jefferson County be and hereby is approved: West h of Lot 3, Block 1, Barth's Subdivision.

The total traffic and movements (either 2005 or 2025) at Wadsworth and 32nd should be unchanged by the traffic generated at the development. The Trip Generation Manual provides data estimates for Specialty Retail Centers. Neighborhood centers or strip centers are classified as. Specialty Retail Centers and are = treated similarly. There would be no difference in traffic estimates from either a 'Specialty Retail Center, strip center or a neighborhood center. The Trip Generation Manual provides: Specialty Retail Weekday 44 trips per 1000 sq. ft. Saturday 42 trips per 1000 sq. ft. Church Weekday 9 trips per 1000 sq. ft. Sunday 37 trips per 1000 sq. ft. Steve Nguyen and I feel that a retail center would draw most of its customers as bypass traffic from Wadsworth. We believe that the trip distribution in the traffic report is reasonable (10% on 29th). If a church were the generator for this site, we believe that the users would be drawn from the surrounding area in a fairly uniform manner. This would lead to the conclusion that traffic distribution would be 33% north, 33% south and 33% --`.east;, -There would be new traffic on 29th traveling to the church. If we can be of further assistance, please contact me.

I found two or three different figures for the total gross leaseable area (GLA) in the different documents and reports. What is the maximum GLA allowed or feasible under the ODP? If it is a range, what is the range? Due to the right-in right-out access on Wadsworth, it seems like the intersection of 32nd and Wadsworth could see more impacts, due to the development, than 29th and Wadsworth. How will, if at all, the development impact the level of service at this intersection in 2005 and 2025? Estimated trips were based on a land use of specialty retail. If I recall correctly, a neighborhood shopping center (30,000 sq. ft. GLA) can generate about twice as much traffic as a specialty retail or strip center. I seem to recall the intent of this proposal is to have more of a neighborhood center than a strip mall. If my memory is correct, I would like to hear some discussion of why specialty retail/strip center is the appropriate land use to estimate trip generation and/or what the increased trips might do to levels of service at peak hours. A church can generate as much traffic (per sq ft) as a specialty retail/strip center but is not discussed in the report. The report describes weekday traffic from a retail center. If this is bought up by the neighbors, I hope someone will be able to discuss potential impacts to 29th Avenue. For example, is the assumption that only 10% of the traffic will use 29th Avenue east of the site still valid for a church? The Comp plan lists the site's future use as small office/business center. It would help me in assessing conformance with the plan, if someone could compare the vehicle trip rates for some of the uses allowed in the comp plan with those being proposed.

Additions and modifications from the last version of the ODP include: Under Allowable Uses we are revising: a. #6 Automotive parts and supply sales : This has been revised to read "Auto parts, supplies and aftermarket accessories, excluding those businesses which derive the preponderance of their revenue from over-the-counter sales of merchandise intended for customer installation. No on-site automotive repairs allowed; installation to occur within the allowable business". Our intent here is to exclude, at your direction, Checkers, Auto-Zone, Pep Boys, etc. However, we recognize the importance of other auto related services in our society such as car phones, stereos, and maintenance/dress-up merchandise. It is these businesses we wish to be allowed to include in the project. b. #24 Eating establishments, sit down : This has been revised to "Eating establishments - sit down, with liquor service". Our intent is to allow for facilities such as Chili's, Armadillo, Black-Eyed Pea, etc. as well as independents. c. #40 Liquor stores with no drive through : This has been revised to "Liquor stores of high quality with no drive through". We believe a high quality liquor store is a viable element to the project. The size and scale of the project precludes bigger box "superstore" users such as Applejack or Davidson's. The quality issue would preclude The Beer Store or similar. We envision a smaller facility selling high quality or fine wine and spirits. d. #59 Tavern, night clubs, lounges, private clubs and bars : This has been revised to "Taverns or bars with food service". We have eliminated the night clubs and private clubs. We have eliminated the word "lounges" and whatever negative connotation with which that might be associated. "Tavern" and "bar" may be redundant but were not finding an all-encompassing single word. By adding "food service" we hope to bridge the gap from those facilities described in b. above to 2835 West Oxford Ave., #6, Englewood, Colorado 80110 • phone: 303/783-3772 • fax: 303/783-3773 • e-mail: mplandplan@aol.wm Wadsworth Exchange April 14, 2006 Page 2 of 2 the smaller, more intimate, and dare I say more "neighborhood oriented" establishments. 2. Under Development Criteria- Maximum Building Height, we have revised "3 stories or 45 feet" to "2 stories or 35 feet". 3. The Schematic Plan on sheet 2 of 2 has been revised with the following notes: a. The north and east property line is to be improved with "6 foot solid wood fencing with overstory plantings". b. Development Areas 1, 2, and 3, as described on sheet 1 of 2, are now labeled on sheet 2 of 2. c. Trash enclosures are to be improved with "solid masonry enclosure with landscaping". d. Pergola: We have labeled the location of the pergola at the 4 corners of the property. e. We have retained the label noting the "pedestrian connection to neighborhood" at your direction. No sitting area was referenced on the ODP. The sitting area has been deleted from the Conceptual Site Plan which is not a part of the ODP. We are providing 16 copies of both the ODP document and the supporting site plan and perspective. Note that we have removed the surrounding single family residences from the perspective. The property was posted on Friday, April 7, 2006 for the City Council meeting on April 24, 2006. Please let me know if we can do more at this time.

Please be advised that the Olinger property application is now a quasi-judicial matter before City Council. This is a legal situation which does not allow Council to discuss the merits of the application outside the public hearing which is scheduled for a later date. On a separate matter, I respectfully request that name calling be avoided. It is not productive. I will forward your email to the Community Development Dept. so they can include it in the Council packet with the application. I will also "cc" the City Attorney as a matter of record. Thank you.

We have a few suggestions for you. First, you might want to take a look at the minutes from the March 16, 2006 Planning Commission meeting. The commission, unlike you, listened to the people most affected by the Olinger Property and denied the zone change. The meeting went well accept when a couple of simpletons on the commission tried to scare the residents by saying the Olinger Mansion will now to be torn down and more duplexes or an apartment complex will be built on site. "This Scheme" we feel goes against the Wheat Ridge 2020 plan. Wheat Ridge is trying to get rid of the transient population not attract more of it with an apartment complex. Even after the these scare tactics were tried the residents did not back down and the Planning Commission agreed the zone change was a BAD idea. Second, you need to take a look at the Community Development staff. The "Staff" seems to be very agreeable with any destructive plan that comes along. They also appear to be telling property owners that zone changes are not a problem, before the Planning Commission and the residents even know about the proposed changes. For example, the property at 6690 W. 44th Avenue. The owner was allegedly told by the cities Community Development Department that a zone change for his liquor store was not going to be a problem. When the neighbors and City Council reviewed the rezoning it was denied. "Staff" seems to be promising things before they are approved. We personally would like to know if "Staff" live in Wheat Ridge or do they just destroy it and retire to another city? We think "Staff" need to take a long vacation. Third, the Olinger property needs to be declared an historic site including the farmhouse and pergola . According to the Wheat Ridge Historical Society the only thing stopping this in the name of the architect who built it. This is a ridiculous reason to deny the status change. Fourth, the property needs to be purchased back from the developer and turned over to the Wheat Ridge Historical Society, Jefferson County Open Space, or whoever wants to keep it the way it is. If you are able to purchase the property back there are several things that can be done with it. The mansion can be turned into Wheat Ridge's Library (the current one is tiny), a cultural center, meeting hall, or event center like Bennett Mansion and Berbert House. It can be turned into an historic public garden/park, leased to an insurance agent, another funeral home, or turned into a hospice. The lot can even be divided and sold to owners who will restore the mansion and farmhouse and live there. Destroying the beauty of the Olinger property and quite of the neighborhood including our property values is not a good idea for Wheat Ridge.

Pharo Associates 2835 W. Oxford Avenue, #6 Englewood, CO 80110 Dear Mr. Pharo: The City of Wheat Ridge At its meeting of March 16, 2006, Planning Commission recommended denial of Case No. WZ-05-10, a request for approval of a rezoning from Residential-Two to Planned Commercial Development and approval of an outline development plan for property located at 7495 West 29th Avenue for the following reasons: 1. There is no reason to expand commercial land use area in Wheat Ridge. Wheat Ridge must develop the commercial areas we have and not devalue existing uses. 2. This request would create an isolated spot zone. 3. This request would not benefit the neighbors. 4. The neighborhood objection is enough to constitute a legal protest. 5. Adjacent landowners would not support this project. Your request is scheduled for public hearing by City Council at 7:00 p.m. on April 24, 2006. Eighteen (18) copies of the full-sized pre-folded revised plans are required by April 13th. Please feel free to contact me at 303-235-2846 if you have any questions.

PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE Following is the official set of Planning Commission minutes for the public hearing of March 16, 2006. A set of these minutes is retained both in the office of the City Clerk and in the Community Development Department of the City of Wheat Ridge. 4. APPROVE ORDER OF AGENDA It was moved by Commissioner PLUMMER and seconded by Commissioner STEWART to approve the order of the agenda as presented. The motion passed unanimously. 5. APPROVAL OF MINUTES - March 2, 2006 It was moved by Commissioner BRINKMAN and seconded by Commissioner SPANIEL to approve the minutes of March 2, 2006 as presented. The motion passed 7-0 with Commissioner SCEZNEY abstaining. 6. PUBLIC FORUM Claudia Worth 4650 Oak Street Planning Commission Page 1 March 16, 2006 Ms. Worth addressed the Commission to remind them that they do not have to always adhere to motions suggested by staff. 7. PUBLIC HEARING WN& r% A. Case No. WZ-05-10 (Continued from 2-2-06): An application filed by Michael G. Pharo Associates for approval of a rezoning from Residential-Two to Planned Commercial Development and approval of an outline development plan for property located at 7495 West 29th Avenue. Prior to presentation of the case, Commissioner WESLEY asked if he would be able to participate in the decision on this case since he was not present at the February 2, 2006 meeting when the case was first scheduled. Mr. Dahl advised Commissioner WESLEY he could participate in this hearing since no testimony was given on February 2, 2006. This case was presented by Meredith Reckert. Since this case was continued from an earlier date, she advised the Commission there was jurisdiction to hear the case. She reviewed the staff report and digital presentation. She referred to a grouping of letters from individuals living on Webster Street, and labeled as Exhibit 7 in the packet, and commented that these would meet the provisions for a legal protest. In response to questions from Commissioner SCEZNEY, Ms. Reckert stated that the neighborhood is opposed to any businesses that would be open past 10:00 p.m. Michael Pharo 2835 W. Oxford Avenue, #6, Englewood, CO Mr. Pharo, land planning consultant for the applicant, was sworn in by Chair MCMILLIN. He stated that a deed restriction would be in place to maintain in perpetuity the mansion with a 10- foot perimeter. Even though the chapel is.not historic, an attempt would be made to find a use for it in the development. Retention of the sunken gardens would be problematic since the chapel is built in the middle of it and the required access location from 29th Avenue would impact it as well. A 20-foot dedication would be provided for the Wadsworth widening. In addition to that dedication, the applicant would build an extra lane on Wadsworth to the end of the property to allow for tam movements as well as a bus pad. The pergola would also be retained and relocated or reconstructed to various locations on the property and a six-foot solid fence would be built along the east and the north sides of the property. The 25-foot right-of= way to the north of the property would become a "no man's land" unless a street vacation takes place. The site data table and schematic plan are flexible and could go up or down from the 30,000 square feet. In conclusion, he stated the submittal meets the intent of the Comprehensive Plan, the goals and objectives the Community Development Department, and a development compromise that meets the goals of the historical society to save the mansion. Bruce McLennan 677 S. Colorado Boulevard, Denver, CO Mr. McLennan was sworn in by Chair McMILLIN. He entered into the record, and provided copies for each Commissioner, drawings and perspectives of the proposed development. The buildings would be single story retail with front and back door parking. These buildings would Planning Commission Page 2 March 16, 2006 house neighborhood service-type businesses. The developer and staff agree that the pedestrian link is important to the development and would be a neighborhood amenity. The pergola would be integrated into the design. Access from 29a` Avenue would give automobile flow through the project onto Wadsworth. In response to a question from Commissioner WESLEY, Mr. McLennan stated there was a small error on the drawing regarding omission of the fence along the eastern property line and the applicant would not be removing any portion of any existing fence. Andrew Miller T 200 Spruce Street, Denver, CO Mr. Miller, one of the owners of the property, was sworn in by Chair MCMILLIN. He stated that he had 27 years experience in retail development and the property was purchased based on the fact that Wadsworth Boulevard and Colorado Boulevard.are the two best retail streets in the Denver area. The proposed development would be a low impact site that would fit in with the city's comprehensive plan designation. He stated he was unaware of any plans to designate the Olinger mansion as a historic structure when he purchased the property. In order to meet a compromise with those wanting to save the structure, he and his partner have agreed to keep the mansion and would also like to incorporate the chapel into the development. It would be necessary to move the pergola when Wadsworth is widened. However, upon examination of the condition of the pergola, it has been determined that it may not be possible to move it intact to another location on the property. Keeping the mansion as a landmark in perpetuity presents a hardship and he would like to be able to utilize the remainder of the site. Therefore, the farm house and barn structures would be removed. The project would not be a strip mall or one large structure, but a quaint neighborhood-type use. Commissioner BRINKMAN expressed concern about "tavern" under the list of allowed uses. She stated that she would have no problem with a restaurant that serves liquor. Mr. Miller replied that this is also the type of business they would prefer rather than a straight tavern business that would be open until 2:30 in the morning. Cornrnissioner BRINKMAN asked why office use was not considered for this site. Mr. Miller replied that this site lends itself well to neighborhood type businesses and there is also a seven- year supply of office space in the Denver area right now. In response to a question from Commissioner CHILVERS, Mr. Miller stated that, at this point, he is thinking of having three to five retail businesses on the site. He further stated that the site would accommodate required parking. (Chair McMILLIN declared a brief recess at 8:35 p.m. The meeting was reconvened at 8:40 P.M.) Ed Eastman 2900 Vance Street Mr. Eastman was sworn in by Chair McMILLIN. He expressed opposition to the rezone. He referred to a court decision in the 1970's which required the city to return the zoning of this property to R-2 with the mortuary and chapel remaining as nonconforming uses. One of the Planning Commission Page 3 March 16, 2006 court's findings was that a commercial zoning on this property would depreciate home values in the neighborhood. The court further found that the rezoning to commercial was unconstitutional and constituted spot zoning with no relationship to the master plan. He concluded by stating that nothing has changed in the neighborhood since then. He submitted a copy of the court findings into the record. Joyce Ford 2990 Vance Street DRAFT Ms. Ford stated from the audience that she is opposed to the rezone. Suzanna Wilson 2915 Webster Ms. Wilson stated from the audience that she is opposed to the rezone. Donald Wilson 2915 Webster Mr. Wilson stated from the audience that he is opposed to the rezone. Heidi Marfil 2900 Webster Street Ms. Marfil was sworn in by Chair McMILLIN. She stated her opposition to the rezone and expressed concern that a tone -change would bring crime into the area. In response to a question from Commissioner STEWART, Ms. Marfil stated that she would like to see a church, duplexes, homes or office buildings built on that corner. Louise Canjar 3055 Webster Street Ms. Canjar was sworn in by Chair McMILLIN. She stated her opposition to the pedestrian access from the neighborhood because it would add traffic in the neighborhood. She did not believe a six-foot fence was an adequate buffer between the development and the adjacent residences to the east. Catherine Snyder 2995 Webster Street Ms. Snyder was sworn in by Chair MCMILLIN. She stated opposition to the pedestrian access because her home is located right at the end of the proposed access. She also opposed the proposed seating area that would be located twenty feet from her house. She expressed concern that there is no guarantee as to what types of business would be built on this property. She suggested that the development be comprised of businesses that would be open from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. Jill Blasco 3045 Vance Street Ms. Blasco was sworn in by Chair McMillin. She expressed opposition to the rezone on the basis there is no need for more commercial property along Wadsworth. She listed in detail several vacant commercial properties along Wadsworth from I-70 to 32nd Avenue. Planning Commission - Page 4 March 16, 2006 Commissioner BRINKMAN asked Ms. Blasco what she would like to see built on this property. Ms. Blasco stated that she would like to see the property used as a museum and park. Dennis and Norene Lee 3070 Upham Court Both expressed their opposition to the rezone from the audience. T)RAFT Claudia Worth 4650 Oak Street Ms. Worth was sworn in by Chair MCMILLIN. She stated that the Colorado Historical Society placed the Olinger house on its historic survey in February 24, 1998. She suggested the following amendments to the plan: • Neighbors to the north of the Olinger property should have the 25-foot right-of-way vacated and returned to their properties. • A concrete block wall should be built between the development and the east and north sides of the property. This wall should be topped with iron estate fencing to ease neighbors' concerns about vandalism. • The access gate, shrubs and seating areas should be removed from the northeast corner of the property to prevent employee parking in the neighborhood. • The pergola should be reconstructed to its original look over the sidewalk along Wadsworth to be built by the developer. • The chapel should be removed and the sunken gardens restored. • Any trees removed should be replaced with the same type of trees. In response to a question from Commissioner BRINKMAN, Ms. Worth stated that she was speaking on behalf of the Wheat Ridge Historical Society. She also stated that the farm house and barn have been offered by the owner to a nonprofit agency. Commissioner MCMILLIN asked if she would support the rezoning if her suggestions were met. She replied that she could not make a commitment one way or another until she sees the final development plan. Mark Rodman 333 West Colfax, Denver Mr. Rodman was sworn in by Chair MCMILLIN. He is Executive Director of Colorado Preservation, Inc. He commended the city staff, developer and historical society for working together to save the Olinger mansion. He stated that the grounds are important to a historical structure and the sunken gardens are important from a historic standpoint. Oresta Hannigan 8705 West 67 h Place Ms. Hannigan was sworn in by Chair McMILLIN. She is a licensed real estate broker and residential appraiser. She stated that someone called her to ask her opinion on the effect of the proposed development on real estate values. She estimated that real estate values would drop about 10% and the houses directly adjacent to the development would drop even more. Planning Commission Page 5 March 16, 2006 Bob Olson 5050 Raleigh Street Mr. Olson was sworn in by Chair McMILLIN. He discussed the need for following standards set forth by the Secretary of Interior in regard to saving historic structures. He asked the Commission to insist on the inclusion of these standards for preservation, rehabilitation, restoration and reconstruction of the house, the pergola and landscape elements on the south side of the property. Louise Turner PRAFT 11256 West 38th Avenue Ms. Turner was sworn in by Chair McMILLIN. She expressed opposition to the rezoning. She suggested a moratorium on commercial zoning and development until the city has had time to analyze the amount of vacant commercial buildings in the city. She didn't believe Wheat Ridge needs more commercially zoned land. She suggested that new businesses could utilize vacant commercial buildings already existing in the city. It is important to preserve residential areas and she suggested that unused commercial properties be rezoned to low density residential. Rental properties result when homeowners decide to move when commercial development takes place close to their properties. It is important to give consideration to existing homeowners in the area. Commissioner STEWART asked what Ms. Turner would like to see done with the property. Ms. Turner suggested using the property for weddings and special events. Whatever takes place on the property, she stated that adequate buffering for the neighbors is necessary. Kevin Green 2960 Webster Street Mr. Green was sworn in by Chair McMILLIN. He spoke in opposition to the rezoning. The 2020 Plan calls for attraction of strong households to Wheat Ridge. The neighborhood adjacent to the subject property is comprised of strong households and is attracting more. He also expressed concern about the pedestrian access from the neighborhood which would result in customers and employees parking in the neighborhood to use the access to the shopping area. He also expressed concern that it could be a gathering place for homeless people. Martin Green 7385 West 28th Avenue Mr. Green was sworn in by Chair MCMILLIN. He referred to city's zoning standards which set forth conditions that must be satisfied in cases of rezoning and stated there are several conditions that are not satisfied in this case. His understanding of the zoning criteria is that all of these conditions must be satisfied in order to have a rezoning. He also commented that there is more to consider in this case than the sales tax revenue to be generated. This development would reduce residential property values. Commissioner McMILLIN asked if it is true that all standards must be met before a rezoning can occur. Mr. Dahl stated that this has not been true in practice. Janelle Shaver 8890 West 35th Avenue Planning Commission Page 6 March 16, 2006 Ms. Shaver was sworn in by Chair MCM]LLIN. She expressed opposition to the rezone on the basis that it represents spot zoning. She presented two photos of the property as it looked in 1925. She entered into the record some historical information on George Olinger and Article 9 of Section 26 regarding historic preservation. She suggested leaving the.pergola where it is because her understanding from CDOT is that this portion of Wadsworth will not be widened for many years. She also suggested that building materials for new development match the existing structures. She asked the Commission to consider their neighbors who live in this area when voting on this case. Nancy Griffith AFT IDR 7130 West 29u' Place Ms. Griffith was sworn in by Chair McMillin. She spoke in opposition to the rezone and asked the Commissioners to consider whether or not they would like to have this type of development in their neighborhoods. She believed the proposed use would only benefit the developer and that it is important to retain affordable residential property in the city. She commented that it seemed the city administrator and city employees want to have a coffee shop, dry cleaners, and restaurant across the street for their convenience and are justifying it by calling it sales tax revenue. She did not believe this is an appropriate location for commercial development because it would be detrimental to the neighborhood. She stated the city needs more open space and should revitalize existing vacant commercial areas. She presented a complete copy of her comments to be made part of the official record. There were no other individuals present who wished to address the Commission. Chair McMILLIN invited the applicant to comment. Mr. Miller stated that he had nothing to add. Commissioner CHMVERS asked Mr. Miller why this site would be better than utilizing a vacant commercial property. Mr. Miller stated that what he is proposing would be appealing to retailers and provide neighborhood services. He stated that the proximity to Wadsworth is important to retail business and that well conceived retail space along Wadsworth is occupied. Those properties that are ill conceived are vacant. Commissioner BRINICMAN asked Mr. Miller if he would be agreeable to following the standards of preservation mentioned by Mr. Olson. Mr. Miller replied that those standards are rather nebulous and he would not agree to following them. He stated that he has already agreed to preserve the mansion. Commissioner CHILVERS asked about the pedestrian connection. Mr. Miller replied that this was a directive from the staff and the consultant. He suggested that it is important to decide which parameters are real and which are not real and then act accordingly. Commissioner STEWART asked why staff was asking for the pedestrian connection. Alan White replied that this development attribute is addressed in the comprehensive plan and the architectural and streetscape manual. He stated that the staff thought this was a good design for the neighborhood but it doesn't have to be a part of the plan. Planning Commission Page 7 March 16, 2006 Chair MCMILLIN closed the public hearing. It was moved by Commissioner PLUMMER and seconded by Commissioner CHILVERS to recommend denial of Case No. WZ-05-10, a request for approval of a zone change from Residential Two to Planned Commercial Development and for approval of an Outline Development Plan for property located at 7495 West 29`h Avenue for the following reasons: 1. There is no reason to expand commercial land use area in Wheat Ridge. Wheat Ridge must develop the commercial areas we have and not devalue existing uses. 2. This request would create an isolated spot zone. 3. This request would not benefit the neighbors. 4. The neighborhood objection is enough to constitute a legal protest. 5. Adjacent landowners would not support this project. Commissioner WESLEY commented that he did not think these reasons would stand. Denial of the application could result in an empty unused property or more rental properties. The Comprehensive Plan and the 2020 Plan are guidelines and this property is an example of what variances in our code provide: Commercial development is a viable option for this property. It would benefit the city to have a useful alive development that would also bring in some revenue. The Wadsworth corridor will be built and this gives an opportunity to shepherd development the way we would like. Further, the developer has made concessions on this property. He expressed concern that if this case is denied, the property could remain vacant and fall into disrepair and attract less desirable activity around the property. Commissioner BRWIK stated that she appreciated the public's comments. She did not believe properties along Wadsworth are going to change, Spot zoning already exists along Wadsworth and works well in some cases. She cited the State Beauty Supply building on Wadsworth as an example. She stated that she believed the plan would work very well on this property. Commissioner PLUMMER commented that State Beauty Supply was closer to 38th and believed the city should concentrate on the 38th and Wadsworth area. He suggested that the mansion could be used for offices and residential units could be built on the remaining property. Commissioner STEWART stated it is very important to retain the mansion and remove the pedestrian connection. She also commented that building twelve duplexes on this property would result in potential rentals. Commissioner SCEZNEY stated he would vote for denial because he is a firm believer that it is not necessary for all of Wadsworth to be commercial. He stated that he wished to provide consistency with the neighborhood and preservation of the historical property. Commissioner MCMILLIN commented that the plan is a well designed project, well buffered from the neighborhood and provides for preservation of the mansion. However, this project Planning Commission Page 8 March 16, 2006 would result in spot zoning and there is a surplus of commercial property in the city. He supported a moratorium on commercial zoning. The motion passed 6-2 with Commissioners WESLEY and BRINKMAN voting no. B. Case No. WZ-05-12: An application filed by Jim Blumenthal for Skitzo Offshore, LLC, for approval of an amended Planned Commercial Development outline development plan and approval of a final development plan for property located at 4651 Tabor Street. C. Case No. MS-05-05: An application filed by Jim Blumenthal for Skitzo Offshore, LLC; for approval of a final plat for property located at 4651 Tabor Street. Staff recommended a continuance of Cases WZ-05-12 and MS-05-05 until April 6, 2006 It was moved by Commissioner WESLEY and seconded by Commissioner SPANIEL to continue Cases WZ-05-12 and MS-05-05 to the meeting of April 6, 2006. The motion passed 8-0. 8. OLD BUSINESS If %n R AFT There was no old business to come before the Commission. 9. NEW BUSINESS Election of Officers -Commissioner WESLEY was, elected chairman and Commissioner SCEZNEY was elected vice-chairman. Special Planning Commission Meeting - Alan White advised the Commission that a special meeting would be held on March 30, 2006 to discuss the Three-Mile Plan. 10. COMNIISSION REPORTS There were no commission reports. 11. COMMITTEE AND DEPARTMENT REPORTS There were no_cormnittee and department reports. 12. ADJOURNMENT It was moved by Commissioner PLUMMER and seconded by Commissioner MCMILLIN to adjourn the meeting at 11:58 p.m. John McMillin, Chair Ann Lazzeri, Recording Secretary Planning Commission March 16, 2006 Page 9 NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING Notice is hereby given that a Public Hearing is to be held before the City of Wheat Ridge PLANNING COMMISSION on March 16, 2006, at 7:00 p.m. in the City Council Chambers of the Municipal Building at 7500 West 29`h Avenue, Wheat Ridge, Colorado.

March 9, 2006 Ms. Meredith Reckert Senior Planner 7500 West 29th Avenue Wheat Ridge, Colorado 80215 Re: Wadsworth Exchange - Outline Development Plan Dear Ms. Reckert: The enclosed Outline Development Plan for the Wadsworth Exchange project reflects the directives which have been provided over the last few weeks. We reviewed most of those points in our meeting on March 2, 2006. Additions and modifications from the last version of the ODP include: 1. We have added new text under the heading Development of the Propert y. This text explains the development allowances for the three parcels which have been defined. To the best of our ability, we have attempted to define and detail the agreements or understandings between all involved parties. 2. We have detailed the allowable uses. Over twenty uses were deleted as a part of the January 13, 2006 modifications to the ODP. For this submittal we have added "#37 Church with Daycare and Preschool" and noted allowable drive throughs on #8 Banks, #19 Coffee Shops, #37 Laundry and Dry Cleaning shops, and #50 Pharmacies. We have noted "no drive through" on #40 Liquor Store. Also we added a mention of drive throughs to the explanatory paragraph under Allowable Uses. 3. We detailed the Site Plan on Sheet 2 to reference "20 feet R.O.W. Dedication" for Wadsworth Boulevard and graphically highlighted the R.O.W. dedication in the northeast corner of the property. 4. We revised the Schematic Plan on Sheet 2 to incorporate the latest thinking on the FDP/Site Plan. The existing House and Chapel are noted along with a schematic transition area as defined under the description of Area 1: The Olin er Residence and Area 2: The Chapel. We show a perimeter transition area which graphically represents the likelihood of a meandering edge treatment. We've noted that the pergola will be relocated elsewhere on the property. The Site Data Table has been modified to reflect this Schematic Plan layout. We have provided 15 copies of this ODP at 24" x 36" and 1 copy at 11" x 17" as requested. The Site Plan and Architectural Concepts, which are not a part of this ODP, have been 2835 West Oxford Ave., #6, Englewood, Colorado 80110 • phone: 303/783-3772 • fax: 303/783-3773 ° e-mail: mplandplan@aol.com Wadsworth Exchange March 9, 2006 Page 2 of 2 forwarded to you by Bruce McLennan.

Motion by Mr. Womble that the City Council decline to approve the application under Case No. WHL-05-01 for the following reasons: 1. The absence of sufficient factors under Section 26-906 of the Wheat Ridge Code of Laws; 2. The property owner does not consent to the designation; and 3. The applicant and property owner have reached an agreement with respect to the preservation of certain structures and elements on the site.

CITY COUNCIL MINU I ES: FEBRUARY 27, 2006 Page -3- I further move that City Council's action shall not take effect until the approval by the City Council of an Outline Development Plan for the subject property, which approval shall contain as conditions that: 1. The Olinger house shall be retained in its present location and exterior condition; normal maintenance and upkeep excepted. 2. The interior of the main house may be used for any purpose permitted by the then-current zoning. 3. The existing pergola shall be moved, if feasible, to a location or locations on the subject property or shall be reconstructed at one or more locations on the subject property. 4. An option to acquire the old house and barn on the site (for no monetary consideration) shall be granted to any responsible organization, conditioned upon such option being exercised and the buildings moved off of the site prior to the initiation of any construction on the site by the owner. 5. (a) No application for a demolition permit shall be accepted, nor any such permit issued by the City for the Olinger house (mansion) or the pergola until the pending ODP application for the subject property has either been approved or denied, pursuant to the customary review process for such applications. (b) The architectural design of any new structures on the property will be consistent with the elements of the architectural style of the Olinger house, including such elements as, by way of example, roof lines and shapes, building materials and colors, window patterns, building size, building mass. 6. The property owner shall have consented to the foregoing conditions of an Outline Development Plan approval on the record before the City Council. I further move that in the event the ODP shall not have been approved, with all of the foregoing conditions, prior to April 24, 2006, the denial of Case No. WHL-05-01 shall not take effect and said case shall be rescheduled for action only by the Council at the next available regular Council meeting; seconded by Mr. Gokey. Meredith Reckert, Senior Planner, presented the staff report. Janelle Shaver, 8890 W. 35th Avenue, spoke on behalf of the Wheat Ridge Historical Society. She gave documents to the City Clerk to be distributed to Council. City Clerk Pam Anderson asked if it was appropriate to distribute these items. City Attorney Dahl stated that the hearing was closed on January 23, 2006 and that includes any written documents which are the same as testimony. The only exception to that is statements that are taken from the applicant, property owner and staff on the proposal tonight. Additional documents going in the record are the same as testimony, of course we are preventing others from testifying and that would apply as well to the Historical Society and any additional exhibits. We are going to hold those in a file and indicate they were exhibits received after the hearing had already been closed. CITY COUNCIL MINUI ES: FEBRUARY 27, 2006 Page -4- Janelle Shaver continued her testimony and gave background on the Historical Society. They are in support of an Outline Development Plan for the Olinger property based on the provision that a final ODP contain nine specific conditions, which she outlined in detail. She read a letter from James Lindberg, Director of Preservation Initiatives and Rural Heritage of the National Trust for Historic Preservation. She also read an e-mail from Steve Turner, Director of Preservation Services for Historic Denver. Andrew Miller, 200 Spruce Street, Denver, property owner gave background on how he bought the property in summer of 2005 with the clear understanding that Wadsworth is a great commercial street. Had he known this controversy would erupt, he would have never bought the property. He has tried to come up with a proposal that would address everybody's concerns. He outlined all the concessions and compromises he has planned. Eighty percent (80%) of the beautiful trees on the property are diseased and will have to come down. City Council asked questions of staff, the applicant and the property owner. Lee Callas, 4390 Dover Street, answered questions from Council regarding potential funding for preservation efforts. Motion carried 8-0. Recess called at 8:21 pm. Meeting resumed at 8:33 p.m. Item 3.

Councilor Adams stated for the record that she met with John Medved on unrelated matters on January 24, 2006. They were both aware of the application at that meeting and did not discuss the proposed application. On the advice of the City Attorney, she was requested to make this disclosure and the fact that this meeting will not prevent her from voting on this pending application. Mayor DiTullio swore in all individuals intending to testify in the public hearing. Meredith Reckert made the staff presentation. She submitted the zoning ordinance, subdivision regulations, case file and packet materials, and exhibits. She stated that all notification and posting requirements have been met and that there is jurisdiction to hear the case. of wHea> ITEM NO: a c REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION OR COUNCIL MEETING DATE: February 27, 2006 TITLE: COUNCIL BILL NO. 06-2006: AN ORDINANCE PROVIDING FOR THE APPROVAL OF A ZONE CHANGE FROM R-2, RESIDENTIAL-TWO TO PLANNED COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT AND FOR APPROVAL OF AN OUTLINE DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT 7495 W. 29th AVENUE (CASE NO.

The Outline Development Plan accompanies the rezoning ordinance and sets allowable uses and development standards. It is general in nature and serves as a basic blueprint for development of the property. A final development plan and plat would have to be approved at a future date prior to any development occurring on the property. This case is scheduled for a Planning Commission public hearing on March 16, 2006. This City Council action is related to Goal 2 of the Strategic Plan of planning for growth and opportunities. It is also related to NRS strategies of promoting development of the Wadsworth corridor by providing destination retail businesses, an expanded tax base and increased property values. COMMISSION/BOARD RECOMMENDATION: This case was originally scheduled for a Planning Commission public hearing on February 2, 2006. It was continued until March 16, 2006. No action was taken by Planning Commission at the February 2 meeting due to the continuance. STATEMENT OF THE ISSUES: The Planning Commission public hearing for the zone change and ODP request was continued so that the design for the property could be modified. It is the applicant's intent that the existing house (mansion) and possibly the chapel be incorporated into the plan, as well as the pergola. If the zone change is approved, the remainder of the structures on the property would be offered for relocation to any interested party. If not relocated, the structures would be demolished and the remainder of the site would be developed for commercial uses including retail, office, restaurant, and neighborhood service establishments. Negotiations regarding the structures on the property are still taking place between staff, the property owner and the Wheat Ridge Historical Society. ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED: Do not approve the zone change. As recommended by the City Attorney, denial should occur only at second reading, as indefinitely tabling the ordinance on first reading denies the applicant due process. FINANCIAL IMPACT: A one time review fee was collected for the processing of this application. Additional review fees will be required for the processing of the final development plan and plat and building permit. Sales tax revenues may be generated if the property is rezoned for retail uses. Use tax will also be collected on any building materials. RECOMMENDED MOTIONS: "I move to approve on first reading Council Bill No. 06-2006, Case No. WZ-05-10, a request for approval of a zone change from R-2, Residential-Two to Planned Commercial Development and for approval of an Outline Development Plan for property located at 7495 W. 29th Avenue, ordered published, public hearing set for " OR "I move to table indefinitely Council Bill No. 06-2006, Case No. WZ-05-10, a request for approval of a zone change from R-2, Residential-Two to Planned Commercial Development and for approval of an Outline Development Plan for property located at 7495 W. 29th Avenue."

Thanks, MGP WINSTON A DESIGN REVIEW MEMORANDUM ASSOCLATH TO: BRUCE MCLENNAN, SEM ARCHITECTS CC: MEREDITH RECKETf, CITY OF WFIF.AT RIDGE FROM: JEFF WINSTON SUBJECT: WADSWORTH EXCHANGE, 1/30/06 PLAN DATE: 14 DEC 06 (REVIEW SESSION 9 FEB 06) Below is a quick summation of the directions that emerged out of our work session last Friday. Many of the concepts are represented in the 3D model that emerged from the session: Preserving the main Olinger house and the chapel are major positives for the site. The Olinger house, and the chapel to a slightly lesser degree, are major `icons' that help give a distinctive identity to the south gateway of Wheat Ridge. 2. The arbor has likewise been an important visual `icon' for the south Wadsworth Corridor. We recognize its structural deficiencies and the roadway expansion that may not make it possible to preserve the arbor. However, we encourage you to incorporate the arbor in your design. Several possibilities come to mind: • Reconstruct the arbor over the new sidewalk along Wadsworth. We recognize that there is a concern that the arbor might block views of any new development on the property. Our opinion is that it will not, and encourage you to test this idea. As a fall back, the arbor could be reconstructed for some distance along Wadsworth at the north and south ends of the property. • Incorporate the arbor design into monuments features at the entries to the site. • Place an arbor along the north property line, connecting the neighborhood to Wadsworth. • Incorporate an arbor in the pedestrian ways internal to the site. 3. We reluctantly acknowledge that the proximity to busy Wadsworth makes this is a difficult site on which to locate duplex housing (current zoning) or even just housing alone. While Wheat Ridge does not need additional commercial uses, given the accessibility of the site, and its prior quasi commercial use, some commercial use makes sense. We encourage you however to make every effort to make this a mixed use project. You might do this by incorporating office uses on the main or second levels. Certainly maintaining the Olinger house for office uses, and the Chapel for religious or other group meetings adds to the mix of uses on the site. 4. If this site is to accommodate commercial uses, we feel strongly that it should not be `just another strip commercial development. It needs to have unique character that reflects the Olinger character, and building massing and layout that will allow it to transition comfortably with the adjacent neighborhood. In our work session we referred to this as `place making'. One of the primary objectives for this site is "place making"-crearing attractive, convenient `places' that will appeal to the public and make this an enjoyable place to shop, work or live.

We like the following aspects of the plan: • Pushing the two central footprints together • Locating the two central buildings to the south making possible a relatively close connection to the Olinger house • Moving the north building south, separated from the center footprints by only an internal street (rather than a parking lot), aligning its entryway with the walkway along the east side of the middle buildings. • Putting a courtyard in the center of the middle footprints to provide an opportunity for outdoor dining, sitting, sidewalk sales, a fountain, etc. • Providing a generous open space, or park, buffer between the parking and the adjacent neighborhood. A hedge or short wall would help screen the cars from the park strip. • . A plaza or other form of amenity at the northeast corner that will help make an inviting gateway to the neighborhood. • Giving some variety and character to the east fa4ade of the buildings (ins and outs, display windows, doors, a broad sidewalk, etc.) to make sure it doesn't become the `back' of the buildings. • Locating the Placing the drive-through canopy for the north footprint on the east or north side of the building 5. We are concerned that the `soft drive-up' on the west side will turn that side of the buildings into a back wall. 6. We recognize the importance of parking visible from Wadsworth, but wish to minimize it, placing the majority of parking on the east side of the buildings, as the latest plan does. 7. We recognize that there may need to be a street between the middle footprints and the Olinger house/chapel, but suggest it should be as narrow as possible (one way?) and not a parking lot. 8. We support two stories for most of the new buildings, to match the scale of the Olinger house and chapel, and to allow for second floor office uses. 9. We support a'/4 turn at the northern entrance to the property from Wadsworth. 10. We encourage differentiation in the facades of the middle buildings, so that they have they appearance of several buildings rather than a single long building. This can be done through facade treatments, varying the roof heights, etc. This will provide variety and interest and still allow various forms of subdividing the building over time. 11. We encourage you to incorporate the white brick and tile roofs of the Olinger buildings.

OLING"ER: Razed, preserved or compromise? <CONTINUED FROM-IB mayor in November at about the same time the controversy be- gan heating up. The property owners and his- torical society are discussing the situation. Residents have submitted pe- titions in support of preserva- tion. The City Council and Plan- ning Commission have delayed decisions. The brouhaha is the talk of the town of about 30,000. "Nothing is a done deal," said Meredith Reckert, the city's se- nior planner. "There are copi- ous meetings." The situation, she added, "has become very political.". DHE Wadsworth LLC and ASM Casa LLC bought the prop- erty last year and want to re- zone the 4.6 acres from residen- tial to commercial to allow a res- taurant and an office complex. "We feel very strongly that we want to try to make this a good solution for everybody and not a bad one," one of the owners, Andy Miller, said last week "We realize we're part of the community. Wbile it's be- come very complicated, we're very committed to finding a so- lution that helps everybody." The historical society applied for a historical landmark desig- nation for the whole property, an action the owners oppose. "We want to protect our heri- tage," said society vice president Claudia Worth. "This is a land- mark and is a jewel of our city." The structures could not be changed or torn down without City Council approval if land- mark status is granted.

Home to members of the Ol- inger mortuary family, the man- sion was built in 1914 by George and Margaret Olinger,. who started Olinger Mortuaries in 19oi. After George died in 1954 and Margaret died in 1968, the family ceased to live in the man- sion, but it was used as a mortu- ary. The mansion has been emp- ty for years. One of the Olingers' most fa- mous funeral clients was Will- iam "Buffalo Bill" Cody, who died in 1917. Olinger was involved in devel- oping the Bonnie Brae, Olinger Gardens and Indian Hills neigh- borhoods. He also founded Crown Hill Cemetery in 1907 andprovided the fast mass tran- sit in Wheat Ridge, a street-car line started in. 191o that led into the cemetery. For George and Margaret Ol- inger's granddaughter Valerie Horan, the mansion was where she and her three sisters played. Her wedding reception was held there in 1955• "There was a wonderful room right smack in the middle of the house, with a glass dome with all this light that came from above, and all the walls were bookshelves from floor to ceiling," Horan recalled. Horan, now 72, would like to see the mansion and arbor pre- served. Her grandfather, whom the four girls called Gaba, loved books, Horan said, adding, "I would be thrilled if the mansion could be a library."

JIM SPENCER Denver Post staff columnist The Olinger mansion, built in 1914 at Wadsworth Boulevard and West 29th Avenue, is the focus of debate in Wheat Ridge. inSi~~S• vi City of Wheat Ridge Community Development Department Memorandum TO: Alan White Meredith Reckert FROM: Jeff Hirt, Planneo- SUBJECT: Wadsworth Exchange/WZ-05-10 DATE: February 7, 2006 m One of the major themes of the NRS (Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy) is to encourage higher quality development. Currently, the property located at 7495 West 29a` Avenue is under consideration for a zone change to allow for a new commercial development. The site is not only located on Wadsworth Boulevard, but is a major entry point into the City from Lakewood. In an effort to be proactive in encouraging higher quality development on this site, the following is an illustration and description of a new commercial development with similar site characteristics - perhaps even more restrictive.- than the subject property in Wheat Ridge.

Santa Fe Drive Littleton, CO • Built 2001 1.7 Acres • 16,204 square feet of commercial building space • Approximately 85 parking spaces observed (specifically for this development) v Corner lot with no direct access off of Santa Fe Drive Attached are some photographs and an aerial of this development. Regardless of the land uses on the property - whether retail, office, or residential - such a design could serve the purpose of providing visibility from Wadsworth, providing adequate and visible parking, and at the same time be integrated into the surrounding residential neighborhood. It is important to note that excluding the existing structures on 7495 West 2911 Avenue, and the potential for over 50 feet of required right- of-way acquisition along Wadsworth Boulevard there is still over 2 acres of open land on this property for development. u6J,L (P-0 5.

I. REQUEST This application is for approval of a zone change from Residential-Two to Planned Commercial Development and for approval of an Outline Development Plan for property located at 7495 W. 29th Avenue. The purpose of the zone change is for the construction of retail/restaurant development. See applicant's explanation of the request. It should be noted that this property is subject to an historic landmark designation nomination. City Council is empowered to determine whether all or parts of the property should be designated as landmarks. Planning Commission is not authorized to give a recommendation regarding designation. The designation hearing has been continued until February 27, 2006. This case is quasi-judicial and should not be discussed during the zone change hearing. II. EXISTING CONDITIONS The property in question is zoned Residential-Two, is comprised of 4.6 acres of land area and has street frontages on three sides; W. 29th Avenue on the south, Wadsworth Blvd. on the west and the interior curve of the intersection of W. 30th Avenue and Webster at the northeast corner of the property. An unbuilt half width of right-of-way for W. 30th Avenue abuts the property on the north. The R-2 zone district is a low density residential zone category allowing single family dwellings and duplexes. If developed under the existing zoning conditions, approximately twelve duplexes could be built on the property. There are three primary structures on the property. On the north end of the site is a one and a half story frame farmhouse structure which was built circa 1892. Structures associated with the farmhouse include the original barn with brick foundation and a newer, contemporary double car garage. The farmhouse has an 842 square foot footprint. A driveway runs along the northern side of the structures from Wadsworth east to the 30th Avenue/Webster intersection. On the southern portion of the property is what once was a primary residence of the Olinger family built in 1914. It is of brick construction, contains a 3300 square foot footprint and has a red tiled roof. The interior of the structure was modified for office use. Other modifications to the original structure include a tented vinyl breezeway on the east side and a handicapped ramp on the west side. The third primary structure on the property is the chapel which was built in 1969-1970. It has similar architectural features to the house including the same brick pattern and red riled roof. It has a basement, a porte cochere on the south side and is 3300 square feet in size. Other miscellaneous features on the property include a brick well house and a pergola running along the Wadsworth frontage. The pergola and the climbing roses along the support columns became an identifying feature for the property to the extent that the mortuary was called the "Rose Arbor Mortuary". A parking lot large enough to accommodate around 100 vehicles is located in the interior of the site. Planning Commission 2 WZ-05-1 0/Pham for Wadsworth Exchange At the time of this writing, a.. of the existing structures on the propert y are planned to be demolished. III. PROPERTY HISTORY It is unclear as to when and how the property was converted from residential to a commercial mortuary use. On August 5, 1969, the Jefferson County Board of Commissioners approved a zone change on the property from R-2 to RCl subsequent to the issuance of a building permit for the chapel. Seven days later, the Mayor and City Council of the newly incorporated City of Wheat Ridge came into office. Neighbors and adjacent property owners filed suit to overturn the zone change in district court. In April of 1970, the court found that the rezoning was an unconstitutional exercise of zoning powers by the Board of Commissioners and ordered the City of Wheat Ridge to take action to rezone the property back to R-2. At that time a church (chapel) was a permitted use in the R-2 zone district The use of the property as a mortuary office and chapel is considered non-conforming. Since the property was sold, chapel services and the use of the mansion as offices have stopped. Under the existing zoning and development code, mortuaries and crematories are special uses in the C-1, C-2 and I zone districts. Principal, commercial uses are not permitted in the R-2 zone district. Churches are a special use in the residential zone districts. The property is subject to a historical landmark designation application filed by the Wheat Ridge Historical Society. It was reviewed by City Council at apublic hearing held on January 9, 2006. The case was continued until January 23 so that negotiations could occur between staff, the property owner and the historical society. The landmark case has now been continued until February 27, 2006. IV. OUTLINE DEVELOPMENT PLAN The Outline Development Plan (ODP), which accompanies a rezoning ordinance, sets the allowable uses and development standards for the property. Typically the Outline Development Plan is general in nature and serves as the blueprint for development of the property by showing approximate areas of landscaping, building footprints and parking. The Outline Development Plan is also used to establish design parameters including maximum building height, minimum landscaped coverage and minimum perimeter setbacks onn 51 Allowable uses Permitted uses were taken from the Commercial-One zone district regulations. Many of the normally permitted uses in C-1 have been eliminated based on traffic generation and negative impact on the neighborhood. Those eliminated uses include the following: auto sales, auto service and repair, fast food restaurants, gas stations, cabinet shops, carpet clearing, day care, electrical supplies and service, equipment rental agencies, exterminators, home improvement supply stores, locksmith shops, indoor amusement enterprises, indoor flea markets, motorcycle sales and service, schools, plumbing and heating supply stores, schools, and upholstery shops. Drive though facilities have been eliminated from the liquor store category. Staff recommends that those uses which may have what are considered "soft drive throughs" be subject to a special use permit process and include banks, laundry and dry cleaning shops, pharmacies and coffee shops. Planning Commission WZ-05-1 0/Pharo for Wadsworth Exchange Landscaping: The ODP sets the minimum amount of landscaping at 20%. The property is currently has an abundance of existing landscape materials on the property. A variety of large trees are located around the house and chapel. Tree varieties include cottonwoods, oaks and blue spruce. The area to the northeast of the interior parking lot is park-like with trees and shrubs. A solid privacy fence ranging in height from six feet to eight feet runs along the eastern property line. Another landscape feature is a sunken garden area with concrete walks and stairways on the east side of the chapel. The applicant has indicated that many of the existing mature trees are diseased or in failing condition. Although as many as possible will be saved, those that are in bad health or interfere with building pads will be removed. At the time of final development plan and plat, Staff will require a tree assessment performed by a licensed arborist. The pergola running along Wadsworth is over 300' long and 15' in width. The columns are 2' in diameter and constructed of concrete and stucco. The original wooden slats across the top of it have been replaced by vinyl. In its current configuration it is located in the area indicated for right-of-way dedication. Future lane improvements will require demolition or the relocation of the pergola. Staff would recommend the pergola be moved or reconstructed along the eastern property line to serve as buffering for the residences to the east. A pedestrian connection feature should be incorporated running from the northeast corner of the property south to 29`h Avenue. This will also provide buffering for the neighborhood to the east. A solid wall or fence at least 6' in height will be required to be constructed along the east and north property lines. Access: Existin access to the site is by two primary curb cuts; one each on W. 29`h Avenue and Wadsworth. The 29` Avenue entrance is pushed to the east against the common property line with the row of homes on the west side of Webster. It is offset from the City Hall entrance by about 35'. The other primary access from Wadsworth is located north of the house. A second access point farther north on Wadsworth appears to only provide access to the farmhouse. This driveway provides access through to the Webster/W. 30`h Avenue intersection. Proposed access points are depicted on 29`h Avenue aliping opposite the access into the municipal building property and 500' north of the Wadsworth/29` Avenue intersection. The 29`h Avenue access will be full movement. The access to Wadsworth will be restricted to right-in/right-out. A pedestrian connection will occur at the northeast corner of the property at the Webster/W. 30`h Avenue intersection. No vehicular access will be permitted from this corner. Public Works has determined that 45' of right-of-way/easement area will be required for future roadway improvements. A 20' right-of-way dedication will be required to accommodate new travel lanes when Wadsworth is widened. An easement area will accommodate a separated sidewalk, tree lawn and other streetscape requirements. Both these reservations are shown on the ODP document. An RTD transit stop is depicted north of the Wadsworth /W. 29`h Avenue intersection. Building Height/Minimum Setbacks: Maximum building height is specified as 35' which is more restrictive than the 50' allowed building height in the RC and C-1 zone districts. Setbacks proposed are generally consistent with our commercial zone districts. Maximum Building Coverage: Planning Commission 4 WZ-05-10/Pharo for Wadsworth Exchange Maximum coverage by build-gs and hard surfaces is indicated at 80%. A maximum building coverage of 33,850 is shown on the site data table. This figure may be somewhat modified at the time of Final Development Plan and plat. Development Standards: The development standards depicted in the table are shown on the ODP. Future redevelopment of the site must comply with these standards Item Requirement Maximum Building and Hard Surfaced Coverage 80% Minimum Setbacks Front: 30' Sides: 10' Rear 10' Minimum Landscaped Coverage 20% Minimum Parking Required Refer to Section 26-501 of the Wheat Ridge Code of Laws for additional requirements Maximum Building Height 35' Signage Refer to Article VII of the Wheat Ridge Code of Laws Fencing Refer to Section 26-603 of the Wheat Ridge Code of Laws Exterior Lighting Refer to Section 26-503 of the Wheat Ridge Code of Laws Architectural Detail Refer to the Streetscape and Architectural Design Manual Staff concludes that the proposed development standards are generally consistent with those in the Restricted Commercial and Commercial-One zone district regulations. All requirements for a Planned Commercial Development Outline Development Plan have been met. Planning Commission WZ-05-10/Pharo for Wadsworth Exchange V. ZONE CHANGE CR. ERIA Staff has the following comments regarding the criteria used to evaluate a change in zone 1. That the existing zone classification currently recorded on the official zoning maps of the City of Wheat Ridge is an error. The official zoning map is not in error. The parcel is currently zoned Residential-Two. 2. That 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, and that the evidence supports the finding of the following. Commercial development along the Wadsworth Blvd. corridor continues to intensify. Wadsworth is one of the heaviest traveled corridors in the metropolitan area. On the city's street classification plan, it is designed as a major regional arterial and carries over 41,000 vehicles per day (1998 count). Based on increased traffic and intensification of commercial land uses, Staff concludes that there are changed conditions which make this property undesirable for low density residential use. Although the zoning on the property is R-2, this land was used as a fairly intensive non-conforming commercial use (mortuary and funeral chapel) for over 40 years. The use as a funeral home and chapel was at times quite intrusive to the neighborhood and surrounding street system. Many times both W. 29`h Avenue and Wadsworth would have traffic stopped for long periods of time while lengthy funeral processions exited the property. 3. That the change of zone is in conformance, or will bring the property into conformance, with the City of Wheat Ridge comprehensive plan goals, objectives and policies, and other related policies, and other related policies or plans for the area. The Comprehensive Plan future land use map designates that the northern portion of this property should be used for Single Family Detached Residential and Existing Two Family Conforming Structures and Lots (Not to exceed four dwelling units per acre). The proposed rezoning would be clearly inconsistent with this designation. However, Staff has concluded that there are conditions which have rendered the property undesirable for low density residential uses. The Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map designation for the southern portion of the property is Small Office/Business Center. The Comprehensive Plan states that the Small Office/Business Center areas are to consist of smaller businesses, office, research development or lab spaces that may require the distribution of goods produced or fabricated on-site, by cargo vans and smaller trucks. Areas are located with easy access onto collector streets. The Comprehensive Plan lists the desired attributes of the SO/BC areas as: • Small office or incubator space which does not require high visibility from well traveled streets but may have a retail component as an accessory use. • Well landscaped. • No visible outdoor storage; trash areas screened. Planning Commission 6 WZ-05-1 0/Pharo for Wadsworth Exchange Amenities such as ou,..oor sitting and eating areas, and pathways should be encouraged on-site for employees. Vehicle circulation be handled internally on the site. All materials, equipment, vehicles and activities be enclosed within the primary structure. Desired uses are listed as workshops, contractor/trades, repair and equipment shops, professional services, research and development facilities and labs, offices. There are only isolated pieces of land designated SO/BC scattered throughout the City. Theses pockets of SO designation are at 50`h and Kipling, the Youngfield corridor north of 38`h Avenue and at 43rd and Kipling. The desired uses listed are more industrial in nature and more appropriate to an office/warehouse complex than what is being proposed as a retail site. Staff concludes that the Small Office/Business Center designation for this location may be inappropriate but that retail development makes sense based on proximity to Wadsworth Blvd. Other goals of the Comprehensive Plan which apply to this situation are: • Establishment of pedestrian connections. • Providing effective buffers and landscaping between different land uses. • Reduction of the number of access points on arterials. 4. That 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 subject property is surrounded to the north and east by low density residential land uses, primarily single family dwellings with some duplexes mixed in. Corresponding zoning is R-2 and R-lA. To the south are Hayward Park and the Wheat Ridge municipal building zoned Residential-Two. Property to the west is located in unincorporated Jefferson County and is utilized as a mortuary and cemetery. The proposed commercial zoning is incompatible with adjacent residential use; however, the applicant is showing upgraded buffering to minimize impacts. 5. That there will be social, recreational, physical and/or economic benefits to the community derived by the change of zone. There are no obvious recreational benefits as a result of the zone change. If the property is rezoned to allow retail uses, retail sales tax will be collected. Zoning and development of the site would support the Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy concerning the redevelopment of the Wadsworth Corridor. 6. That 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 agencies can serve the property with upgrades to infrastructure, the cost of which will be bome by the applicant. 7. That 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 the adjacent properties. Planning Commission - 7 WZ-05-10/Pharo for Wadsworth Exchange The property has been used i-. over 40 years as a mortuary/funeral chapel. This specific use was at times a heavy traffic generator. The preliminary traffic study indicates the site will generate 1471 daily vehicle trips (735 entering and 735 exiting the site). West 29th Avenue is a collector street and has a signalized intersection with Wadsworth Blvd. Wadsworth is designated as a major regional arterial. According to the study, both streets have adequate capacity to handle the anticipated volume generated by the commercial development. Public Works will be requiring construction of an acceldecel lane with this development. 20' of additional right-of-way is being requested to accommodate the future widening of Wadsworth. An additional reservation has been included on the ODP document to accommodate a separated sidewalk, tree lawn and street furniture. 8. That the change of zone will not create an isolated or spot zone district unrelated to adjacent or nearby areas. The proposed change of zone will create an isolated zone district. There are no properties n the immediate area zoned commercial. The use of the property since the late 1960's has been commercial in nature. VII. NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING The required pre-application meeting for neighborhood input was held on July 21, 2005. There were approximately 28 attendees from the neighborhood. Many of the questions asked pertained to traffic; in particular whether West 30th Avenue would be extended from Wadsworth to Webster and whether vehicular access would be allowed at the 30th Avenue/Webster Street intersection. Many of the neighbors were not in favor of any automotive-related uses, including gas sales. There was also opposition voiced regarding liquor stores, fast food restaurants, and businesses that stay open until 2 AM. fUxlu~1S`- 'eiehboiloadlVfetan`an =.ai.Atn and e s Attached is additional correspondence regarding the request. VIII. AGENCY REFERRALS All affected service agencies were contacted regarding the ability to serve the property. The developer will be responsible for any needed upgrades to accommodate the proposed development. Specific referral responses follow. Colorado Department of Transportation: CDOT has granted conceptual approval of the proposed right-in/right-out access onto Wadsworth provided that a deceleration lane be constructed. An acceleration lane out of the site will not be required by CDOT. Wheat Ridge Public Works: The Public Works Department has reviewed preliminary drainage and traffic information. They have determined that 45' of right-of-way/easement area will be required for future roadway improvements. A 20' dedication is required to accommodate new travel lanes when Wadsworth is widened. The easement area east of the future dedication will accommodate a separated sidewalk, tree lawn and other streetscape requirements. A preliminary drainage report was reviewed. A traffic report was reviewed. Construction of an acceUdecel on Wadsworth will be required when the property is developed. Planning Commission WZ-05-10/Pharo for Wadsworth Exchange Consolidated Mutual Watr_. Can serve the property with needed improvements at the developers expense. Wheat Ridge Sanitation District: Can serve the property by an 8" sewer main in W. 29th Avenue. Line upgrades and new taps will be the responsibility of the developer. Regional Transportation District: Has an existing transit stop on Wadsworth just north of 29th Avenue intersection which must be accommodated on the Final Development Plan. Jefferson County Planning Department: Has commented that 20% landscaping may not provide adequate buffering for adjacent residential uses. Wheat Ridge Economic Development: In support of the NRS, new commercial development may detract from the City's goal of redeveloping existing commercial areas. Uses in the PCD should not permit those which would be incompatible with adjacent residential areas. Uses which are saturated within the city such as auto repair and uses which do not generate additional revenue should be eliminated. Wheat Ridge Fire Protection District: Can serve. IX. STAFF CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATION Staff has concluded that there are changed conditions in the area that have rendered the property undesirable for residential uses. The zone change proposal is inconsistent with the low density designation on the Comprehensive Plan for the northern portion. The southern two-thirds of the property is designated as commercial (Small Office/Business Center). Staff has concluded that zone change to PCD supports the Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy of the redevelopment of the Wadsworth corridor therefore; a recommendation of approval is given for Case No. WZ-05-10. X. SUGGESTED MOTIONS: Option A: "I move to recommend APPROVAL of Case No. WZ-05-10, a request for approval of a zone change from Residential-Two to Planned Commercial Development and for approval of an Outline Development Plan for property located at 7495 W. 29`h Avenue for the following reasons: 1. The property is unsuitable for low density residential use due to intensification of traffic and uses along the Wadsworth corridor, 2. This land was used as a fairly intensive non-conforming commercial use (mortuary and funeral chapel) for over 40 years. 3. Zoning and development of the site would support the Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy concerning the redevelopment of the Wadsworth Corridor. 4. The design parameters shown are generally consistent with the C-1 zone district. 6. The proposed document meets all requirements for a Planned Commercial Development Outline Development Plan. 7. There will be economic benefits to the community derived from the zone change. 8. Adequate infrastructure is available to serve the proposed development with upgrades at the developer's expense.

PO Box 130548 Houston, TX 77219-0548 Olinger Mortuaries Inc., #2553 PO Box 1108 Houston TX 77251-1108 Property Owners present? No Applicant: Existing Zoning: Michael Pharo Michael G. Pharo Associates, Inc. 2835 W. Oxford Avenue, #6 Englewood, CO 80110 R-2, Residential-Two Comprehensive Plan Designation: Small Office/Business Center on the majority. A small piece at the northern end of the property is shown as Single Family (not to exceed 6 du's/acre) and Single Family (not to exceed 4 du's/acre). Existing Use/Site Conditions: The property contains 4.45 acres and is a corner lot with street frontages on W. 29`h Avenue and Wadsworth Blvd. The current use of the property is nonconforming in that it has a mortuary and chapel on the southern portion. Under existing zoning conditions, the mortuary use would not be permitted. A farmhouse and outbuildings are located on the north side of the property. Access to the mortuary use is provided by a curb cut on 291i Avenue and two curb cuts on Wadsworth. Access to the farmhouse is via a driveway from Wadsworth. An additional unpaved access exists from the intersection of Webster Street and W. 301i Avenue at the northeast corner of the property. EXHIBIT 6 Applicant's Proposal: The applicant is proposing a zone change from R-2 to Planned Commercial Development and for approval of an Outline Development plan. Anticipated uses include neighborhood oriented retail, service and restaurant uses. At the time of final development plan, the applicant would propose a development scenario with 40,000 s.f. of building area in several detached structures. Parking would occur on the front (west) and rear (east). The existing structures would not be retained but architectural elements form those structures could be incorporated into the design. Issues Discussed: • What is the proposed height of the structures? 35' • Will the existing structures remain? The existing buildings will be demolished as funeral parlors are not attractive adaptive uses. Architectural elements of the existing structures could be incorporated into the design of the new structures. • There is an existing 25' wide piece of right of way for 30th Avenue between Webster and Wadsworth. Will this be built? No, however, there may be a pedestrian access provided. • Will the "elbow" intersection of 30th and Webster be improved? What about off-site sidewalk improvements to the east? The "elbow" intersection will be improved on the property's frontage with curb, gutter and sidewalk. Would have to investigate where improvements stop on either side of the property. • Is the mortuary building considered historic? • What improvements are proposed for W. 29 h on the north side. It is not on any designated lists. Avenue? Installation of curb, gutter and sidewalk • Can something be done about the length of the light at the 29th/Wadsworth intersection? Staff can request that the traffic engineer investigate the timing of the light. • What improvements will occur on Wadsworth Blvd? The developer will dedicate 20' of right- of-way for future widening. An accel/decel lane may have to be required to be built for the length of the property. • Will the existing trees on the property be saved? As many trees as possible will be saved, however, many of them are not physically in good shape. Many of those taken down will be replaced. • Proposed uses: The neighborhood, in general, is not in favor of any automotive uses, including gas sales. They do not want liquor stores, fast food restaurants, or businesses that stay open until 2 AM. Many do not support any restaurant uses. They do not want businesses that require a lot of semi traffic. • What kind of buffering is proposed for the east and north? Large expanses of landscaping with a 6' high wooden fence. It was indicated by the neighborhood that a masonry or brick wall would be preferred taller in height than 6'. • Would this isolated commercial development contradict City Council's strategic plan recommendation for an established "town center" between 38th and 44 h Avenue? Staff indicated that although that was one of City Council's goals, the proposed development is supported by the Small OfficeBusiness Center designation on the Comprehensive Plan future land use map. It would not be contrary to City Council's adopted goals. • What can happen to the property if the zone change is denied? It could be subdivided and developed into single family and duplex R-2 zoned lots. • Drainage: A drainage plan and report would be required at the time of final development plan and plat approval. Lighting: A photometric plan will be required at the time of final development plan and plat. D October 19, 2005 Wheat Ridge Planning Committee To Whom It May Concern: In reference to David Engleberg's development of the site at the corner of Wadsworth and 29t°, I wholeheartedly support development of the site to retail. Currently our family travels to Belmar, Denver West, or Highlands due to the lack of desirable retail in Wheat Ridge. We would much prefer to live and spend our money in Wheat Ridge when it comes to restaurants and shopping. The concept of retail being in this location seems much better than a cemetery. Please call me at (720) 891-1271 with any questions or concerns. Si . cerely, Alan N.

Dear Meredith Reckert: I have reviewed the Pre-Application Meeting Summary of the property at 29 h and Wadsworth. I will not be able to attend the meeting on July 21~`. Therefore, this letter must serve as my comments regarding the preliminary proposal. My comments are as follows: 1. The historic structures along 29th Avenue should be retained, as proposed. 2. Scenario "D" is the most desirable. It provides the best buffer and keeps most of the traffic from the north and east sides of the property. The other scenarios are not acceptible. 3. There should be no automobile ingress or egress allowed from the north and northeast sides of the property. 4. A substantial, solid fence barrier should be built on the north and east sides of the property to screen the development from the residential neighborhood to the north and east. Setbacks of at least 15 feet, or preferably, 25 feet should be enforced. 5. Preferably, the hours of operation of the retail/commercial establishments would not begin before 8 am. and close by 10 p.m. All lighting should be dimmed by 10:30 p.m. 6. Construction should not begin before 8 a.m. in the morning and end by 6 p.m. Buildings should be no more than two stories high. My greatest concern is to maintain the integrity of the established, residential neighborhood. I hope that you will show the highest regard for the residents who border this newly planned development. I would appreciate it, if one of your staff would read my comments at the meeting on July 21 Sincerely, h^ Leah'Lotz, Owner 3035 Webster Street Meredith Reckert From: Kevin Murphy [KMurphy@getty.edu] Sent: Monday, June 20, 2005 3:44 PM To: Jeff Hirt; Meredith Reckert Subject: Meeting re 7495 W. 29th Avenue Dear Ms. Reckert and Mr. Hirt, Thank you very much for taking the time to meet with me so unexpectedly last week concerning my interest in the future of the Olinger residence and grounds at 7495 W. 29th Avenue. Since we spoke I've had a voicemail message from Ray Perry of Sevo Miller which gave me the impression he had a buyer on line and was about to set a closing date. I expect to speak with him directly within the next couple of days to get a bit more information. However, I have spoken to several area residents, particular those whose property is directly adjacent to the site, and the consensus seems to be one of preservation of the original buildings, with little or no additional building taking place. All concerned would be most interested in attending any zoning change hearings that are slated, and, further, would be willing to petition against any sort of radical re-zoning efforts. They are now on alert for any such notices from the city of Wheat Ridge. I have had a brief chance to look over the material you gave me regarding the historic preservation articles, and this seems to be the first step in maintaining the integrity of the corner site. I feel confident that area residents (not to mention Denverites in general concerned with historic and cultural heritage) would certainly prefer the estate to remain open space, with the main house and pergola intact, as opposed to any sort of commercial or mass residential concerns going in. I welcome suggestions from your end that would expedite the historic designation, if this is indeed within your jurisdiction, so to speak.

We do not want any commercial development in our neighborhood! People are already beginning to sell their homes because they fear the worst. Commercial development would only hurt our quiet neighborhood and drop our property values. We already have enough traffic through the neighborhood (including police) and it becomes worse if there is an accident on Wadsworth. How would you like to have your $300,000+ house/property backup to a strip mall with a bunch of dumpsters or a four-story office building where the occupants can peer down on you in your yard? We would especially enjoy a smelly restaurant or a fast food joint that would attract a bunch of teenagers to hang around! Would you want to sit in your backyard with all that noise and unappealing smells? We already get enough smells (hops) from Coors. 2/6/2006 Page 2 of 2 Wheat Ridge needs to concentrate on redevelopment (buying up and selling all the rentals as single family homes) and the transient population not changing what works. The Olinger property should be declared a historical landmark including the parking lot. If a dentist or insurance agent wants to set up a small office in the existing building that would be fine. The property should not be rezoned. The developer bought it as a zone 2 and he can sell it or use it as a zone 2. If the developer cannot make enough money as a zone 2 who cares? No one seems to care that a zone change would devalue our land!

I'm sure the developers have no idea of what a mess is involved in the history of that property. I remember Francis Vanderbur's idea to fill it up with high-density apartments back in 1954. He had his people trying to buy up the homes abutting the property to try to get rid of the neighborhood's opposition. All he did was make all the neighbors really mad. I'm sure some of the hard feelings still exist to this day. That's back when that neighborhood learned to get organized and fight developers. I saw Chief Cassa at lunch today and he suggested a professional office complex of maybe 3-4 pods and a coffee shop built around the old mansion. I really like his idea and think it would be a nice compromise and a good way to cut down the traffic problem. As I thought about it, it seemed that the lawyers that need to be around the city offices across the street would jump at the chance to have their offices there. I can visualize some 2 level office pods following the existing motif of the old mansion with parking interspersed with park-like landscaping throughout. I wouldn't mind having a dental office in a place like that. It would keep the traffic flow down because most professional offices don't operate on the weekends. So I wish you well and hope you and the neighbors can find a good compromise with the developers. The neighborhood spirit there meant a lot to me as I was growing up. Are you old enough to remember when we closed Webster St. off and had a huge block party? What a deal! :Love Ya, City council CC: Chief Cassa Olinger property developer Page 1 of 1 Meredith Reckert From: Alan White Sent: Monday, February 13, 2006 4:38 PM To: Meredith Reckert Subject: FW: Olinger Mansion For the file!

Having lived on the subject block for most of my adult life (3055 Webster Street), the thought of a strip mall being built on the property is anathema to me. With the proposed widening of Wadsworth Boulevard, our property values will already be compromised. Please don't allow this zoning change. The entire Wadsworth corridor doesn't need to be commercialized. Please consider another use of this historic site a library, perhaps. Thank you for your thoughtful decision on this matter.

As Wheat Ridge residents and property owners whose property abuts 7495 West 29th Avenue, we do not support altering the current R2 designation to a PCD designation.

As a Wheat Ridge resident and property owner whose property abuts 7495 West 29`h Avenue, I do not support altering the current R2 designation to a PCD designation.

As a Wheat Ridge resident and property owner whose property abuts 7495 West 29th Avenue, I do not support altering the current R2 designation to a PCD designation. I do not believe a zone change should be granted just to allow for the most profitable use of the land by the owner. Other, less invasive development should be found for the site. The area is solidly residential and always has been. The surrounding property owners have a right to expect stability in the neighborhood zoning. Commercial development is not consistent with the present conditions in the area and should not be approved. Sincerely, ~a,} John F.

As Wheat Ridge residents and property owners whose property abuts 7495 West 29 h Avenue, we do not support altering the current R2 designation to a PCD designation. Commercial development on the site will have an adverse effect on the surrounding area by increasing noise and traffic and by intruding on the residential character of the area.

January 26, 2006 Ms. Meredith Reckert Senior Planner 7500 West 29`h Avenue Wheat Ridge, Colorado 80215 Re: Wadsworth Exchange - 7495 West 291h Avenue Dear Ms. Reckert: Please find enclosed the revised ODP submittal for the above referenced property. These revisions are in response to your comments to me dated January 18, 2006. I believe we have addressed each of your comments, although in light of the Council directives of January 23, 2006, we find it necessary to further clarify our position on several of the issues as follows: Page One Comments: L&2. It is our position that "soft" drive-throughs area required component of coffee shops, pharmacies, and banks. As such, we do not desire to go through the Special Use Process at a later time should any of these uses be proposed during the FDP process. At your earlier direction we eliminated fast food restaurants with "hard" drive throughs from consideration. 3. In spite of the fact that the issue pertaining to the Olinger house and the pergola is not yet resolved, we have graphically depicted the Olinger house and the pergola on the Schematic Plan. We hope you realize that the resolution on this subject has not yet been agreed to, and in the event the issue is not resolved, we may endeavor to remove both structures. 4. We have inserted the phrase "modular characteristic of masonry" to the first bullet under Character of Development. This is an architectural term for a variety of masonry or brick components which can be incorporated into the new construction. We note that even though constructed with brick, the existing Olinger residence and chapel are painted. This somewhat negates the visual appeal of a natural brick finish. 5. We have corrected the spelling of "borders". 6. We added a "base history box" as requested. Page Two Comments: 1. The language pertaining to the Wadsworth Boulevard exposure has been modified to read" streetscape area with reservation for pedestrian access, tree lawn, street furniture, landscaping, etc.". We do not believe roadway improvements in this area are required or proper. Note that we are adding a complete lane to Wadsworth Boulevard as a part of the project and that there is room for 2 additional 12 foot lanes within the 20 foot right of way provided with the project. 2. We have shown both the Olinger residence and the Olinger pergola on the Schematic Plan. At the time of this writing there is no plan in place to retain either structure. As explained above in Page One Comments #3, we will continue to work with all 2835 West Oxford Ave., #6, Englewood, Colorado 80110 • phone: 303/783-3772 • fax: 303/783-3773 • e-mail: mplandplm@aol.com 2 involved entities to find a way to meet all objectives. While the Olinger residence may be retained per a future agreement, the pergola may need to be re-created, if desired, since its' structural integrity is in question. Note that the pergola is entirely within the planned 20 foot right of way expansion for Wadsworth Boulevard. 3. We have added the requested site data table as requested. It is based on our latest preliminary site design. The data provided is subject to change per a final site plan as will be defined on an FDP. We have provided the 15 full size copies and one reduction as requested. Let me know if I need to do more prior to the Planning Commission meeting on Thursday, February 2, 2006. As always, please call with questions or comments. MGP/las c: Andy Miller David Engleberg Michael Sheldon Bruce McLennan Wendell Ayers CITY COUNCIL MINA . ES: January 23, 2006 Page -3- F Item 3.

She updated Council that the County has brought jurisdictional allocation to $336,059.00. Mayor closed the public hearing. Motion by Mrs. Rotola to award the City's final 2006-2007 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) jurisdictional allocation for Phase III of the street and pedestrian improvements of an area bounded by 46th Avenue and 1-70, Estes through Carr Streets; seconded by Mr. Schulz; carried 8-0. Item 4. A REQUEST FOR HISTORICAL LANDMARK DESIGNATION FOR PROPERTY ZONED RESIDENTIAL-TWO (R-2) LOCATED AT 7495 W. 29TH AVENUE. (CASE NO. WHL-05-01) PUBLIC HEARING CONTINUED FROM JANUARY 9, 2006 Mayor DiTullio asked that every person intending to speak on this item, including staff, stand up and swear to tell the truth in this matter. Alan White, Community Development Director, presented the staff report. He entered into the record an e-mail that was sent to some members of Council. Charlotte Whetsel; 8770 W. 38th Avenue, updated Council on behalf of the applicant, the Wheat Ridge Historical Society. Michael Sheldon, 5290 DTC Parkway, attorney for the property owner, testified in opposition to the application. The following people spoke in support of the application Ed Eastman, 2900 Vance Street Marty Cahill, 2600 Quay Street Roily Sorrentino, 4175 Teller Street Ruth Schultz, 3830 Garrison Street U L__ Annette Temorio, 3050 Webster Street CITY COUNCIL MINUTLo: January23, 2006 Page -4- Barbara St. John, 3480 Everitt Street, submitted petitions of support. DRAFT Mary Mills, 2945 Upham Street (also spoke at the previous meeting) Marty Green, 7385 W. 28th Avenue Jill Blasco, 3045 Vance, submitted petitions to City Council of mostly people outside of Wheat Ridge. Janelle Shaver, 8890 W. 35th Avenue, submitted petitions of approximately 145 signatures. It was easy to get the petitions and people were eager to sign. Their comments included fond memories from many years ago regarding their associations with the property; they asked that Council should preserve the area's landmarks whether or not they are historical landmarks; consider the public good, not just what is in the interest of private enterprise and revenue to the City; a speaker asked all those that supported the application stand; a number of people stood; he also asked that those in opposition stand and there were no individuals that stood; they would like the area to remain the same; the property balances the cemetery beautifully; it would be great to keep 26th Avenue to 32nd Avenue as it is because of traffic; feel that there is an underlying bias for the property owner. Council questions and comments followed. Claudia Worth, 4650 Oak Street, representing the applicant, was present to answer Councilmembers' questions. Mayor DiTullio closed the public hearing. Motion by Mr. Womble to continue Case No. WHL-05-01 for action only at the City Council meeting on February 27, 2006, to enable staff, the applicant and the property owner to discuss options for preservation or re-use of portions of the property, with the consent of the property owner; seconded by Mr. Schulz. Mr. Gokey made a Substitute Motion to approve Case No. WHL-05-01, a nomination for historic landmark designation for the entire property located at 7495 W. 29th Avenue, for the following reasons: 1. The site is associated with a person prominent in the community in the past. 2. The farmhouse and barn exemplify the broad cultural and social history of the community. 3. The farmhouse and barn embody characteristics of an architectural style of the late 19th Century. 4. The pergola is a rare example of an architectural type in the community. 5. The Historical Society recommends the site be designated as an historical landmark. Seconded by Mr. Womble; tied 4-4 with Councilmembers Adams, Rotola, Berry and Schulz voting no; failed 5-4 with Mayor DiTullio voting no to break the tie. Original motion to continue carried 8-0. lum"RAFT Department of MEMORANDUM TO: Meredith Reckert, Senior Planner FROM: Dave Brossman, Development Review Engineer ;)46 DATE: January 20, 2006 SUBJECT: PW Comments for WZ-05-10/Michael Pharo Assoc. for M & E Financial I have completed the second review of the ODP along with the CDOT response letter dated October 25, 2005 received on January 20, 2006, and I have the following comments: 1. Public Works acknowledges the analysis and conclusion by CDOT which states that an acceleration lane is not required. However, from a general safety standpoint it is strongly suggested that the acceleration lane be constructed with this development. 2. Public Works recommends that the area currently shown as "Streetscape Area with Pedestrian Access..." lying to the east of the 20' dedication should be identified as "25' reserved for sidewalk easement and/or future ROW".

All interested citizens are invited to speak at the Public Hearing or submit written comments. The following case shall be heard: Case No. WZ-05-10: An application filed by Michael G. Pharo Associates for approval of a rezoning from Residential-Two (R-2) to Planned Commercial Development (PCD) and approval of an outline development plan for property located at 7495 W. 291h Avenue and legally described as follows: THE WEST ONE-HALF OF LOT 3, BLOCK 1, BARTH'S SUBDIVISION, COUNTY OF JEFFERSON, STATE OF COLORADO.

Anderson, City Clerk To Be Published: Wheat Ridge Transcript Date: January 19, 2006 7500 West 29th Avenue The City of Wheat Ridge, Colorado 80033 Wheat Ridge 303/235-2846 Fax: 303/235-2857 January 18, 2006 Michael G. Pharo Associates, Inc. 2835 W. Oxford Avenue Unit #6 Englewood, CO 80111 Dear Mr. Pharo: la I have reviewed your submittal of the second set of comments for property located at 7495 W 29`h Avenue and have the following comments: PAGE ONE 1. On the list of uses, add that pharmacies (use #48) have the ability to have a drive-in facility through the special use permit process. 2. You indicated on your resubmittal narrative that you would like the ability to have a drive-in associated with a coffee shop. Somehow this needs to be defined so as to be different from a fast food restaurant. Perhaps a description of food preparation not allowing the use of grills, fryers, ovens and stoves. The use of microwave ovens is permitted. Include the provision of a drive-through window through the special use permit process. 3. Under "Character of Development" discuss the keeping of the existing mansion (big house) and the pergola to be relocated on the property. 4. Under "Character of Development", include the provision to allow brick as an architectural material. 5. Under "Character of Development, bullet number 3, correct the spelling of "boarders' to "borders". 6. Add a case history box with the following case number: WHIr05-O1, WZ-05-10 PAGE TWO Please modify the hatched area along Wadsworth inside the front property line differently. Change the note to read as follows: "Reservation for future right-of-way improvements/ streetscape area with pedestrian access, tree lawn, street furniture landscaping, etc." 2. Designate the existing mansion structure as remaining. 3. Add a site data breakdown as anticipated, subject to approval of a final development plan including landscaped coverage, hard surfaces coverage and maximum building coverage. This concludes the summary of comments. Please address each of these comments by revising the drawings accordingly. Please provide 15 copies of the revised FDP and plat documents by January 26, 2006 for distribution to Planning Commission along with 11" x 17" reductions of each sheet for scanning. Staff recommends that if reduced colored renderings are available that those be provided in ample time for scanning as well. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me at 303-235-2848. Sincerely, Meredith Reckert, AICP Senior Planner C Michael G. Pharo Associates, Inc. January 13, 2006 Ms. Meredith Reckert Senior Planner City of Wheat Ridge 7500 West 29th Avenue Wheat Ridge, Colorado 80215 Re: Wadsworth Exchange - 7495 West 29th Avenue Dear Ms. Reckert: We have reviewed your comments from October 19, 2005 related to our Outline Development Plan submittal. Our response follows: Uses 1. We have modified the list of Allowed Uses by eliminating the following: assembly halls and convention facilities; auto service, repair and maintenance shops; cabinet and woodworking shops; carpet cleaning and fumigating; large day care centers; small day care centers; electrical supplies and service; large day care centers and preschools; small day care centers and preschools; equipment rental agencies; exterminators; home improvement supply stores; indoor amusement and recreational enterprises; indoor flea markets; locksmith shops; motorcycle sales and service; plumbing and heating supply stores and shops; private clubs, social clubs, bingo parlors and similar uses; schools for industrial or business training, including vocational trade or professional schools; temporary Christmas tree, produce and bedding plant sales lots; and upholstery shops. We have retained "auto parts and supplies sales" without service, since this description includes a variety of appropriate merchandise including traditional automotive equipment plus contemporary technology equipment. We have included under "specialty shops" uses previously listed as "shops for custom work". Such uses include sales of beads, leather, stained glass, and monograms. 2. We have added "no drive through" to the Allowed Use of liquor store; we believe a "soft drive through" is a critical component of the Allowed Use of "banks, loan and finance offices", "laundry and dry cleaning shops" and "pharmacies". 3. We have added "non-residential only" to the Allowed Use of "clinics and offices for the counseling and treatment of psychological, social, marital, developmental or similar conditions". 2835 West Oxford Ave., #6, Englewood, Colorado 80110 • phone: 303/783-3772 • fax: 303/783-3773 • e-mail: mplandplm@aol.com 4. We have added "no permanent outside storage of inventory" to the Allowed Use of "garden supply store". 5. We have added "no outside storage" to the Allowed Use of "quasi-governmental buildings and offices, such as fire stations, libraries, etc.". 6. We have eliminated uses requiring "hard drive throughs" such as fast food restaurants. We have eliminated the inclusion of drive throughs from other uses such as liquor stores which might otherwise include them. We continue to request "soft drive throughs" for uses such as coffee shops, pharmacies, banks, etc., which require such facilities in order to successfully compete in the marketplace. 7. We have specified those uses where outside storage or display is prohibited. We recognize the difference of permanent outside storage as required for a successful user versus temporary or daily display for advertising purposes as otherwise allowed by the existing City codes. Title, Declarations and Signature Blocks 1. A one inch border has been added to the top of the page. 2. Wheat Ridge has been corrected in the title. 3. The quarter section, township, and range have been added in the title. 4. All references to "Community Development Director" have been changed. 5. We have expanded on the "Character of Development Statement" as follows: Development of the property will be accomplished in a manner which acknowledges the architectural character of the existing structure(s). • New construction will consist of masonry wall surfaces with synthetic stucco and formed metal accents. Gabled roof components will utilize pressed steel which emulates tile roofing. Individual structures will be linked with each other or integrated into the pedestrian system with pergola structures and overstory vegetation. The pergola structures will be reminiscent of the existing pergola, but re-use of the existing structure is likely impossible due to the present condition. • The property contains a number of mature trees and other existing vegetation. Many of the existing trees are past their prime - others are located to conflict with required entrance roads or desired building pads. Where possible, in accordance with sound development practices, existing vegetation will be retained. Where necessary, replacement vegetation will meet or exceed City requirements. The subject property boarders existing residential units on the north and east. These edges will be improved with solid fencing and landscaping consisting of trees, shrubs and a variety of groundcovers. Building and parking lot/roadway setbacks will meet or exceed City minimums. The proposed development will be planned and programmed to reflect the commercial opportunities provided by the Wadsworth Boulevard exposure and by the adjacency of the existing residential neighborhood east of Wadsworth Boulevard. These characteristics will be addressed by incorporation of smaller structures rather than larger, orientation toward uses serving the neighborhood as well as those traveling Wadsworth Boulevard rather than regional uses, and an architectural and landscape design concept more residentially oriented and scaled as opposed to "big box" or "regional center" orientation. Pedestrian access will be provided in the northeast corner of the development in conjunction with the completion of the West 30th Avenue/Webster Street intersection. Pedestrian amenities will include pavement, benches, lighting, and landscaping. The West 29th Avenue and Wadsworth Boulevard exposures will be enhanced per the Streetscape Design Standards. The property will be developed for any of the Allowed Uses set forth on this document. Development will be consistent with the goals, policies, and objectives of the City of Wheat Ridge. 6. A unified control statement has been added. Bubble Plan 1. We have provided a second bubble plan with added detail appropriate for an ODP submittal which we hope will serve as a "true planning document". 2. We have shown approximate or schematic areas of building coverage, parking and landscaped areas based upon our latest thoughts at the time of this ODP. Such detail is entirely approximate and subject to change. Any revisions to this schematic plan will be in accordance with ODP criteria for setbacks, building and parking coverage, and landscaping. 3. We have not shown a site data table other than the ODP criteria. To do so would mean that we are at the FDP stage of submittal. 4. Bearings and distances have been added to Site Plan. 5. The survey submitted with this plan identifies the R.O.W. of West 29th Avenue as 50 feet; Wadsworth Boulevard as 60 feet. It appears that public records have yet to be updated to reflect the Wadsworth Boulevard expansion. We are providing 20 feet for further Wadsworth Boulevard R.O.W. expansion, as requested. 6. No known easements exist. 7. No known irrigation ditches exist. 8. We have shown the 20 foot reserve for Wadsworth Boulevard R.O.W. dedication. We also show an area which we believe reflects an appropriate transition of the West 30th Avenue/Webster Street R.O.W.'s at the northwest corner of the property. 9. The City Hall access point is shown. 10. We have added a development schedule under the heading of Phasing. Items of Concern We continue to work with the City and the Wheat Ridge Historical Society to assist in meeting the various objections related to the existing structures. Public Works Department: We have the following comments related to Dave Brossman's memo to you from October 10, 2005 and Russ Higgins memo of October 17, 2005. It appears from Dave's comments that Paragon Engineering, Inc. has provided adequate information related to drainage for rezoning requirements. 4 • We have provided a metes and bounds description of the property and added it to the ODP. • We have provided an area 20 feet in width, as originally requested, for the widening of the Wadsworth Boulevard right-of-way. We find no basis for requesting 45.5 feet of dedication. All required streetscape improvements per the Streetscane and Architectural Design Manual will be provided. • Our access point on Wadsworth Boulevard is supported by the traffic study. To move it northward would eliminate the potential to provide a north-bound acceleration lane. It would also be detrimental to the projects site design and function. Mr. Higgins references the CDOT Access Code requiring a 325 foot spacing on driveways. Our access point is approximately 425 feet north of West 29th Avenue. The existing residential driveway at the north end of the property will be eliminated. The project, as planned, can accommodate the foreseeable widening of Wadsworth Boulevard. • The access point on West 29th Avenue is to be aligned with Pinson Place which is the entry to the City complex. • The preliminary list of allowable uses was provided to Dave Ruble, our traffic engineer with LSC Transportation Consultant, Inc. It is my understanding that Dave utilized "worst case" traffic generation numbers for his study. The allowable uses, as revised, will not exceed the generation numbers utilized in the traffic study. Wheat Ridge Sanitation District: I can only assume that Mr. Repps letter to you of September 30, 2005 confirms that the property can be served for sanitary sewer purposes. Such service will be in conformance with normal District practices. Consolidated Mutual Water District: Again, I assume this District can provide water service for the development in accordance with normal District practices. Such practices will include requirements of the Wheat Ridge Fire Protection District. Jefferson County Planning: the following comments pertain to points raised by Ms. Heather Gutherless in her October 6, 2005 memo to Mr. Greg Sala: • We are aware that the property boarders existing residential uses on the north and east. We intend to meet or exceed transitional requirements per the City's and neighborhood criteria related to fencing, landscaping, setbacks, etc. • Equipment rental agencies and motorcycle sales and service have been removed from the list of Allowable Uses. Wheat Ridge Economic Development: The following comment relates to points raised by Ms. Barbara Delgadillo in an e-mail dated September 30, 2005. • We could not disagree more with Ms. Delgadillo's position that Wheat Ridge "has a sufficient percentage of commercial development" and that "new development may detract from the goal of redeveloping the existing commercial areas". If the City had sufficient commercial facilities there would be no need for any redevelopment. There would be no need to designate the subject property for commercial uses on the Comprehensive Plan. We intend to compliment existing community and regional commercial development - not replace such facilities. • The list of Allowable Uses has been revised to accommodate the stated concerns related to auto repair. We believe quality sit-down restaurants with liquor service are a primary Allowable Use which accommodates both neighborhood and Wadsworth Boulevard users. Regional Tran sportation District: The existing bus stop on Wadsworth Boulevard just north of West 25 th Avenue is hereby acknowledged. Please let me know if there are questions or concerns with these thoughts.

The meeting with the State Historic Society and the owner's representative is today at 11:00 at the Olinger site. Mr. Murphy has involved Historic Denver and the County Historic Group. We received the application from the WR Historical Society and documentation from Bob Olson last Thursday. Under the ordinance, we refer the application to WR historical Society and they must respond within 30 days (a formality, since they submitted the application). Thereafter, we must schedule a Council hearing on the ordinance within 45 days. This will probably be before we are ready to bring the rezoning application to Council. Question to Jerry How do we take the landmark designation application to Council without talking about the future development plan? Or should we try to dovetail both. applications to be in front of Council at the same time? The latter is going to be difficult.

I'm glad the package arrived safely. As I said in my letter, your guidelines were very helpful and I did try to go line by line to include everything you were looking for (it seemed the emphasis was on the significance of the Olinger family, which is covered in my statement and the accompanying articles). The two biggest gray areas seemed to be the actual date of construction of the main house and the architect. I have since received information from the Wheat Ridge Historical Society that I was unable to locate about the construction date (it looks like 1914 is the elusive date) and a couple of possible architects. I can forward this to you or revise the application, whichever would be easier. I understand the parameters. of the historic designation, and my effort here is to merely lay the groundwork for the preservation effort and to heighten awareness among area residents, elected officials, and historic agencies before anything drastic occurs. I am most pleased to hear that you will be attending the meeting with the new owners, as it is voices such as yours that lend credence and authority to such important issues. I have spoken with Meredith Reckert, Senior Planner of the City of Wheat Ridge, and she understands that local sentiment leans toward a creative development incorporating the main historic elements into the new commercial plan (as it would be unrealistic to ask for much more), thus avoiding total demolition. Thank you again for your interest in the property, and as I said, I am coming across more information all the time and am more than willing to further develop the application as needed. Best of luck at the meeting! Sincerely, Kevin Murphy <Chris.Geddes@chs.state.co.us> 11/07/05 9:34 AM Mr. Murphy- I received your packet of information last Monday and, after sorting through everything, find I am still missing a number of pieces of information. Without going into too much detail, some of the information I requested in my letter was not provided. There is also some conflicting information related to dates of construction and changes to the property. Before anyone goes through the trouble of trying to accumulate this information, I would like to wait and see what transpires at a meeting I have been invited to attend with the owner, the city and Historic Denver. There is no point in doing all this research if the owner is already decided that the building will come down. I am not sure if youhave had time to look through the packet that accompanied the preliminary evalution form, but there is information about the programs we administer, and it notes that the National and State Registers are really just recognition programs only. They do not offer protection from demolition or alterations. As I explained in my letter to you, without owner consent, the nomination cannot go forward. I will be in touch after the meeting with the owner and let you know where things stand, but our position is that this is really between the City of Wheat Ridge and the owner. We at the Colorado Historical Society do not have the power or the authority to make an owner preserve their property. The city really needs to make it clear to the owner if they feel strongly about the property being saved and then work with the owner to come up with a plan that will make everyone happy. We do appreciate your interest in trying to preserve this property. Should you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me; otherwise, I'll give you a call once I have a better idea of what is going on with the plans for the Olinger Residence.

Pharo FROM: Dave L. Rub , Jr. SUBJECT: Wheat Ridge Comments - Wadsworth Exchange (LSC #050540) I have reviewed the two comments on the Wadsworth Exchange traffic impact analysis report and offer the following responses: Item No. 1 - The City of Wheat Ridge is requesting a 45.5-foot right-of-way dedication along Wadsworth to accommodate the future widening of Wadsworth. Response - From a traffic standpoint, only an additional 12 feet of asphalt is needed. This additional asphalt will provide a third northbound traffic lane. Once a roadway reaches three through lanes in each direction, the State Highway Access Code does not require auxiliary lanes. Wadsworth has an access category of NR-A. For an NR-A, the Access Code states that "right turn deceleration and acceleration lanes are generally not required on roadways with three or more travel lanes in the direction of the right turn except as provided in subsection 3.5." Item No. 2 - The right-in/right-out access should be located 325 feet north of West 29'Avenue. This distance is specified in the State Highway Access Code. Response - The Access Code states that "each access should be separated at a minimum by a distance equal to the design sight distance values in Table 4-1." Table 4-1 indicates that the design sight distance is 325 feet for a posted speed limit of 40 mph. The Access Code does permit an applicant to apply for a design waiver. The only argument that we can use is the affect the change would have on the internal circulation of the site. I assumed in the traffic impact analysis report that the site would only have one access along Wadsworth Boulevard. The Access Permit Application states that the new access would be located 450 feet north of West 29`x' Avenue. The person making the comment may be assuming that we are going to have two accesses. I believe the location of the proposed right-in/right-out access is consistent with the design standards in the Access Code. No change needs to be made to the site plan.

CDOT grants conceptual approval for the access with the requirement of constructing a deceleration lane into the site. Section 3.10 (7(c) requires an acceleration lane for traffic volume greater than 50VPH when the posted speed limit is 40 mph or higher. In this case, the development would not meet the threshold. CD6T will not request the acceleration lane. To obtain permission to construct a vehicular access, where such work will be within state highway right-of-way, a state highway Access Permit is required. The City of Wheat Ridge will be the issuing authority for the permit. Access application will need to be initially addressee b j':° . and application will be to their procedures.

Modify use number 35 by specifying "no outside display of inventory". 5. Modify use number 37 by specifying "no outside storage". 5. Add the following note: "No drive through facilities allowed". 6. Add the following note: "No outside storage or display permitted." TITLE, DECLARATIONS AND SIGNATURE BLOCKS 1. Per Jefferson County Clerk and Recorder requirements, a one inch border is required at the top of the page so they have room to write in recording information. 2. In line 4 of the title block, please correct the spelling of "Wheatridge" to "Wheat Ridge". 3. In the title block, add a reference to the subject quarter section, township and range. 3. Change all references from "Planning and Development Director" to "Community Development Director". 4. Expand the "Character of Development Statement" to address specific architectural materials to be used, the attempt to save existing mature trees, the reuse of the rose arbor and buffering for adjacent residential neighborhoods to the north and east. You may also want to add 1 information regarding the intended use as a retail center serving the needs of the neighborhood and Wadsworth corridor traffic. A reference to pedestrian access and any proposed pedestrian amenities would be strongly encouraged. 5. Add a unified control statement. BUBBLE PLAN 1. The layout of the document should be put into two sheets so that the bubble plan can have enough detail on it to serve as a true planning document. 2. Show approximate areas of building coverage, parking and landscaped areas. 3. Show a corresponding site data table for approximate areas of landscaping, parking and building coverage. 4. Show bearings and distances for the legally described property. 5. Show existing rights-of-way widths. 6. Show any existing easements. 7. Are there any irrigation ditches crossing the site? If so, please show them. 5. Show a specific amount of future right-of-way dedication for Wadsworth and the intersection of W. 30ei Avenue and Webster Street. 6. Show the existing City hall access point to the south. 7. Add a tentative development schedule. ITEMS OF CONCERN: Staff would strongly advise you reconsider the reuse of one or more of the existing structures. As you know, certain property owners in the neighborhood are rallying to save the existing structures. The City of Wheat Ridge City Council has in the past denied rezonings when there has been neighborhood opposition. Even though staff will be supporting your request, it does not necessarily guarantee the zone change will get approved. The issue of saving the existing structures needs to be further considered. Attached is a redlined plan. Also attached are referrals received from other city departments and outside agencies.

The proposed commercial development is located near the intersection of West 29' Avenue and Wadsworth Boulevard. The site is expected to contain 33,200 square feet of commercial development. This study first provides a summary of existing traffic conditions within the vicinity of the proposed commercial development. It then provides estimates of the amount and directional distribution of traffic that will be generated by the proposed commercial development as well as estimates of Year 2025 background traffic plus site-generated traffic volumes on the surrounding road system. Finally, the impacts of the proposed commercial development's site- generated traffic are evaluated and recommendations are made regarding roadway improve- ments. The following summarizes our analysis. Site Location and Proposed Access The location of the proposed Wadsworth Exchange commercial development with respect to the surrounding land uses and roadway system is shown in Figure 1. The site is bounded by West 29' Avenue on the south, Wadsworth Boulevard on the west, and residential develop- ment on the north and east. Access to the site is proposed from one full movement access point along West 29`t' Avenue, which is also the access into the City of Wheat Ridge municipal offices and one right-in/right-out access along Wadsworth Boulevard. This access will replace two existing right-in/right-out accesses along Wadsworth Boulevard. The location of this access is tentatively 600 feet north of West 29th Avenue. I 1C. Mr. Andy Miller Page 2 May 9, 2005 Existing Traffic Conditions Figure 2 shows existing traffic volumes, traffic control and lane geometry along West 29' Avenue and Wadsworth Boulevard. Morning and evening turning movement traffic counts were collected by Counter Measures, Inc. in April 2005 at two intersections: West 29' Avenue/ Site Access and West 29' Avenue/ Wadsworth Boulevard. Actual traffic volume count data are enclosed with this letter report. In addition, daily traffic counts were taken along Wadsworth Boulevard and West 29' Avenue. Existing Street Network Major roadways in the vicinity of the site are described below with a brief discussion of anticipated future roadway improvements. West 29' Avenue is an east-west collector roadway. This roadway begins on the west at Wadsworth Boulevard and continues easterly until it reaches 15' Street, which is located north of downtown Denver. There are plans to widen the roadway to four lanes from Kendrick Drive to SH 93. The intersection with Wadsworth Boulevard is controlled by a traffic signal. Wadsworth Boulevard is a four-lane, north-south major arterial roadway near the site which begins on the north at US 36 and continues in a southerly direction until it reaches C-470. This roadway is a part of the State Highway System and is referred to as State Highway (SH) 121. As a part of the State Highway System, it is under the control of the Colorado Department of Transportation. There are no plans to widen this roadway to six lanes near the site. This roadway has an access category designation of NR-A, Non-Rural Principal Highway. Trip Generation The proposed Wadsworth Exchange commercial development will contain three buildings with a total of 33,200 square feet of commercial development. The amount of traffic that will be generated by the proposed commercial development has been estimated based upon trip generation rates published by the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) in the 7' Edition, 2003, of Trip Generation. The results of the analysis are shown in Table 1, giving the average number of weekday trips and AM and PM peak-hour trips expected to be generated by the proposed commercial development. As illustrated in Table 1, on an average weekday the proposed commercial development will generate approximately 1,471 daily vehicle-trips, with approximately 735 entering and 735 leaving the site. Of these, approximately 34 trips will occur during the AM peak-hour, with 21 vehicles entering and 13 exiting the site. During the PM peak-hour, approximately 91 trips will occur with 40 entering and 51 exiting the site. Mr. Andy Miller Page 3 May 9, 2005 Projected Background Traffic Background traffic volumes have been developed for the Year 2025 which has been selected as the long range planning horizon. Both the Colorado Department of Transportation and Denver Regional Council of Governments estimate that the traffic on SH 121 near the site will have an annual growth rate of less than one percent. This rate seems low, and therefore, an annual growth rate of one percent per year has been used. The traffic into and out of the Wheat Ridge municipal complex has not been increased from the existing traffic counts which results in the traffic on West 29' Avenue having a higher growth rate than one percent per year. A growth factor of 1.22 was applied to the existing traffic volumes on Wadsworth Boulevard to yield an estimate of the Year 2025 background peak-hour traffic volumes. The traffic entering and leaving Wadsworth Boulevard on West 29' Avenue was balanced against the West 29' Avenue/ Site Access intersection. Figures 3 depicts the Year 2025 background traffic volumes for the intersections most impacted by the proposed commercial development. Traffic Distribution The directional distribution of site-generated traffic onto adjacent roadways, which provide access to and from the proposed Wadsworth Exchange commercial development, is one of the most important components in the assessment of the proposed commercial development's traffic impacts. Major factors which influence the traffic distribution assumptions include: • The site's location relative to the surrounding area; • The roadway network servicing the site; • The anticipated access characteristics of the development plan; and • The types of land uses anticipated for the site. Considering the combined effects of these factors, specific traffic distribution estimates have been made. Figure 4 shows the directional distribution of the traffic to be generated by the proposed commercial development. The same distribution patterns were used for both the Years 2005 and 2025. It is estimated that 45 percent of the site-generated traffic will access the site from the north and south using Wadsworth Boulevard. The remaining ten percent will access the site from the east using West 29`h Avenue. Traffic Assignment Figure 5 shows the assignment of site-generated traffic onto the existing roadway. These peak- hour traffic volumes were derived by applying the traffic generation estimates depicted in Table 1 to the distribution percentages identified in Figure 4. Mr. Andy Miller Page 4 May 9, 2005 The total Year 2005 peak-hour traffic volumes were obtained by combining the site-generated traffic volumes from Figure 4 with the existing peak-hour traffic volumes in Figure 2. The Year 2005 total traffic volumes are illustrated in Figure 6. The projected Year 2025 total peak-hour traffic volumes were obtained by combining the site-generated traffic volumes from Figures 5 and the Year 2025 background peak-hour traffic volumes in Figure 3. The Year 2025 total traffic volumes are illustrated in Figure 7. Traffic ImDacts In order to assess the traffic impacts that will result from the proposed Wadsworth Exchange commercial development, AM and PM peak-hour capacity analyses were performed for three intersections: West 29th Avenue/Site Access, Wadsworth Boulevard/West 29ffi Avenue, and Wadsworth Boulevard/Site Access. These intersections are felt to be the ones most impacted by the proposed commercial development. Analyses were performed for the Year 2005 background (Figure 2) and total (Figure 6) peak- hour traffic and the Year 2025 background (Figure 3) and total (Figure 7) peak-hour traffic. The methodology used is that presented in the nationally accepted Highway Capacity Manual, 2000, published by the Transportation Research Board of the National Academy of Sciences. The concept of Level of Service (LOS) is used as a basis for computing combinations of roadway operating conditions. By definition, six different Levels of Service are used (A, B, C, D, E, and F) with "A" being a free-flow condition and "E" representing the "capacity" of a given inter- section or traffic movement. The summary results of our LOS analyses are shown in Table 2 and the complete Synchro analysis printouts are enclosed with this letter report. West 29th Avenue/ Site Access: All of the traffic movements at this unsignalized inter- section are expected to operate at an excellent Level of Service (LOS "A") in the AM and PM peak-hours either with or without the traffic from the proposed commercial development. There is no change in the average vehicle delay at this intersection when traffic from the proposed commercial development is added to the background peak-hour traffic volumes. This applies to both Years 2005 and 2025. Wadsworth Boulevard/ Site Access: The assumption has been made that this access will be restricted to a right-in/right-out access. All of the traffic movements at this unsignalized access are expected to operate at an acceptable Level of Service (LOS "D" or better) in the AM and PM peak-hours either with or without the traffic from the proposed commercial development. This applies to both Years 2005 and 2025. Wadsworth Boulevard/West 29th Avenue: In the Year 2005, this signalized inter- section operates at a very good Level of Service (LOS "B") in the AM and PM peak- hours. When the traffic from the proposed commercial development is added to the existing peak-hour traffic volumes, there is no change in the performance of this intersection. There is an increase of about one second per vehicle in the average vehicle delay at this intersection when the traffic from the proposed commercial development is added to the background peak-hour traffic volumes. Mr. Andy Miller Page 5 May 9, 2005 By the Year 2025, this signalized intersection is expected to operate at an acceptable Level of Service (LOS "D" or better) in the AM and PM peak-hours. When the traffic from the proposed commercial development is added to the existing peak-hour traffic volumes, there is no change in the performance of this intersection. There is an increase of about one second per vehicle in the average vehicle delay at this inter- section when the traffic from the proposed commercial development is added to the background peak-hour traffic volumes. Average Daily Traffic The average daily traffic impacts of the proposed Wadsworth Exchange commercial develop- ment can be expressed in terms of average daily traffic (ADT) volumes, in which site-generated traffic is shown as an increment of the Year 2025 total traffic. Average daily traffic volumes are illustrated in Figure 8 along with expected roadway capacities. Wadsworth Boulevard currently exceeds its daily capacity while West 29' Avenue is below its current capacity. Even though Wadsworth Boulevard currently exceeds its capacity, the intersection of Wadsworth Boulevard and West 29t1 Avenue operates at a very good Level of Service. The site-generated traffic for the proposed Wadsworth Exchange commercial development will constitute about one percent of the total Year 2025 traffic on Wadsworth Boulevard and about three percent for West 29' Avenue. Queue Length A queue length analysis has been performed on the traffic movements at Wadsworth Boulevard and West 29' Avenue for the Year 2025 total traffic condition. The queue lengths were computed using the software program, SimTraffic. The results of this analysis are based on averaging the results from five. simulations with each simulation lasting 60 minutes. The existing storage lengths along Wadsworth Boulevard appear to be able to accommodate the Year 2025 peak-hour traffic volumes. State Highway Access Code The State Highway Access Code controls access to state highways. SH 121 has an access category designation of NR-A. For NR-A, it states that "one access shall be granted per parcel if reasonable access cannot be obtained from the local street or road system. " The determination of reasonable access is determined after consulting with the appropriate local authority, in this case the City of Wheat Ridge. Staff from the City of Wheat Ridge supports the right-in/right- out access, due to the size of the lot and the difficulty in traffic accessing the northern portion of the site by way of the West 29tt' Avenue access. In addition, the right-in/right-out access does not adversely affect the operation of Wadsworth Boulevard. As an NR-A category, a right-turn deceleration lane is required if the number of vehicles entering the site is greater than 25 vehicles. As can be seen in Figure 6, only nine vehicles are expected to enter the site by way of this access. Therefore, a right-turn deceleration lane is not required. A right-turn acceleration lane is required if 50 vehicles are leaving the site. As Mr. Andy Miller Page 6 May 9, 2005 can be seen in Figure 6, only 23 vehicles are expected to leave the site by way of this access. Therefore, a right-turn acceleration lane is not required. A continuous acceleration/ deceleration lane can be provided along the full length of the site, if this would permit the Colorado Department of Transportation to approve the right-in/right- out access. This continuous acceleration/ deceleration lane could be used as the third north- bound through lane should the Colorado Department of Transportation decide that widening of SH 121 is necessary at some future date. Conclusions Based upon the foregoing analysis, the following conclusions may be made regarding the proposed Wadsworth Exchange commercial development: When completed, the proposed Wadsworth Exchange commercial development is expected to contain 33,200 square feet of commercial space. It is estimated to generate a total of 1,471 vehicle-trips during an average weekday. Of these, approximately 34 and 91 are expected to occur during the AM and PM peak-hours, respectively. The directional distribution of site-generated traffic is expected to be 45 percent from the north and south and the remaining ten percent will access the site from the east. Based on the existing lane geometry and traffic control devices depicted in Figure 2, the signalized intersection of Wadsworth Boulevard and West 29' Avenue is expected to operate at an acceptable Level of Service (LOS "D" or better) through the Year 2025. In addition, all traffic movements at the unsignalized intersections are expected to operate at an acceptable Level of Service (LOS "D" or better). 4. The proposed right-in/right-out access meets the requirements of the State Highway Access Code and is supported by the City of Wheat Ridge. No auxiliary traffic lanes are needed for this access, and it does not adversely affect the operation of Wadsworth Boulevard. 5. Traffic impacts associated with the proposed Wadsworth Exchange commercial development are minimal and can be accommodated by the existing roadway net- work. Mr. Andy Miller Page 7 May 9, 2005 We trust that our fmdings and recommendations will assist in the planning of the proposed Wadsworth Exchange commercial development. Please call us if we can be of further assistance. Respectfully submitted, LSC Transportation Cox By: , Dave L.

Site Drainage Plan CONCEPT DRAINAGE REPORT FOR Wadsworth Exchange I. Introduction The purpose of this report is the preparation of a concept design of the relevant drainage facilities in sufficient detail to allow the owner to complete design of drainage appurtenances, to identify areas to be used for drainage purposes, resolve any floodplain issues, determine proposed drainage easements, depict existing easements, and to ascertain any negative downstream impacts. Also, considered was runoff quality issues and maintenance efficiency in the development and selection of alternative drainage facilities scenarios. The purpose is also to provide final hydrological analysis of the proposed outfall system, drainage facilities as well as other supporting information and documentation. This report was prepared for the party depicted on the cover sheet. Although a final drainage report is not required for an Outline Development Plan, the applicant desires to submit with the best available information. A. Site Location The proposed development property is located northeast of Wadsworth Boulevard and West 29' Avenue, more particularly in West Half of Lot 3, Block 1, Barth's Subdivision, City of Wheat Ridge, County of Jefferson, State of Colorado. West 29'h Avenue forms the south property boundary. Wadsworth Boulevard forms the west property boundary. Single family dwellings are located at the north and east of the site. A vicinity map has been enclosed with the appendix and is also depicted on the attached drainage plan. The site is tributary to the UDFCD Major Drainageway 4700 Sloan Lake. A topography map is encloses which depicts the site. B. Site Description The site consists of about 4.6 acres. The property is currently in an improved state with mature landscaping and several occupied buildings.

I tend to lean a little toward #3 also, but there seems to be a real scale difference with the existing buildings and what is proposed. In my opinion the building would have to be articulated more to feel like it is complementary to the existing historic structures.

Dear Meredith Reckert: I have reviewed the Pre-Application Meeting Summary of the property at 29t' and Wadsworth. I will not be able to attend the meeting on July 20. Therefore, this letter must serve as my comments regarding the preliminary proposal. My comments are as follows: 1. The historic structures along 29th Avenue should be retained, as proposed. 2. Scenario "D" is the most desirable. It provides the best buffer and keeps most of the traffic from the north and east sides of the property. The other scenarios are not acceptible. 3. There should be no automobile ingress or egress allowed from the north and northeast sides of the property. 4. A substantial, solid fence barrier should be built on the north and east sides of the property to screen the development from the residential neighborhood to the north and east. Setbacks of at least 15 feet, or preferably, 25 feet should be enforced. 5. Preferably, the hours of operation of the retail/commercial establishments would not begin before 8 a.m. and close by 10 p.m. All lighting should be dimmed by 10:30 p.m. 6. Construction should not begin before 8 a.m. in the morning and end by 6 p.m. 7. Buildings should be no more than two stories high. F My greatest concern is to maintain the integrity of the established, residential neighborhood. I hope that you will show the highest regard for the residents who border this newly planned development. I would appreciate it, if one of your staff would read my comments at the meeting on July 21 S`. Sincerely, Leah Lotz, Owner 3035 Webster Street 7500 West 29th Avenue Wheat Ridge, Colorado 80033 303/ 235-2846 Fax: 303/235-2857 The City of Wheat Ridge Date: July 21, 2005 City Staff Present: Meredith Reckert, Jeff Hirt Location of meeting: Second floor, police training room, Wheat Ridge municipal building, 7500 W. 291h Avenue Property address: 7495 W. 29" Avenue Property owners (per the Jefferson County Assessor's records: Colorado Mortuaries Inc. PO Box 130548 Houston, TX 77219-0548 Olinger Mortuaries Inc., #2553 PO Box 1108 Houston TX 77251-1108 Property Owners present? No Applicant: Existing Zoning: Michael Pharo Michael G. Pharo Associates, Inc. 2835 W. Oxford Avenue, #6 Englewood, CO 80110 R-2, Residential-Two Comprehensive Plan Designation: Small Office/Business Center on the majority. A small piece at the northern end of the property is shown as Single Family (not to exceed 6 du's/acre) and Single Family (not to exceed 4 du's/acre). Existing Use/Site Conditions: The property contains 4.45 acres and is a corner lot with street frontages on W. 29th Avenue and Wadsworth Blvd. The current use of the property is nonconforming in that it has a mortuary and chapel on the southern portion. Under existing zoning conditions, the mortuary use would not be permitted. A farmhouse and outbuildings are located on the north side of the property. Access to the mortuary use is provided by a curb cut on 29`h Avenue and two curb cuts on Wadsworth. Access to the farmhouse is via a driveway from Wadsworth. An additional unpaved access exists from the intersection of Webster Street and W. 30`h Avenue at the northeast corner of the property. Applicant's Proposal: The applicant is proposing a zone change from R-2 to Planned Commercial Development and for approval of an Outline Development plan. Anticipated uses include neighborhood oriented retail, service and restaurant uses. At the time of final development plan, the applicant would propose a development scenario with 40,000 s.f. of building area in several detached structures. Parking would occur on the front (west) and rear (east). The existing structures would not be retained but architectural elements form those structures could be incorporated into the design. Issues Discussed: • What is the proposed height of the structures? 35' • Will the existing structures remain? The existing buildings will be demolished as funeral parlors are not attractive adaptive uses. Architectural elements of the existing structures could be incorporated into the design of the new structures. • There is an existing 25' wide piece of right of way for 30th Avenue between Webster and Wadsworth. Will this be built? No, however, there may be a pedestrian access provided. • Will the "elbow" intersection of 30th and Webster be improved? What about off-site sidewalk improvements to the east? The "elbow" intersection will be improved on the property's frontage with curb, gutter and sidewalk. Would have to investigate where improvements stop on either side of the property. • Is the mortuary building considered historic? • What improvements are proposed for W. 29 h on the north side. It is not on any designated lists. Avenue? Installation of curb, gutter and sidewalk • Can something be done about the length of the light at the 29th/Wadsworth intersection? Staff can request that the traffic engineer investigate the timing of the light. • What improvements will occur on Wadsworth Blvd? The developer will dedicate 20' of right- of-way for future widening. An accel/decel lane may have to be required to be built for the length of the property. • Will the existing trees on the property be saved? As many trees as possible will be saved, however, many of them are not physically in good shape. Many of those taken down will be replaced. • Proposed uses: The neighborhood, in general, is not in favor of any automotive uses, including gas sales. They do not want liquor stores, fast food restaurants, or businesses that stay open until 2 AM. Many do not support any restaurant uses. They do not want businesses that require a lot of semi traffic. • What kind of buffering is proposed for the east and north? Large expanses of landscaping with a 6' high wooden fence. It was indicated by the neighborhood that a masonry or brick wall would be preferred taller in height than 6'. • Would this isolated commercial development contradict City Council's strategic plan recommendation for an established "town center" between 38th and 44th Avenue? Staff indicated that although that was one of City Council's goals, the proposed development is supported by the Small OfficeBusiness Center designation on the Comprehensive Plan future land use map. It would not be contrary to City Council's adopted goals. • What can happen to the property if the zone change is denied? It could be subdivided and developed into single family and duplex R-2 zoned lots. Drainage: A drainage plan and report would be required at the time of final development plan and plat approval. Lighting: A photometric plan will be required at the time of final development plan and plat.

Location of Meeting Wheat Ridge City Hall Second Floor Police Training Room 7500 West 29th Avenue Sevo Miller, Inc. is requesting that the City of Wheat Ridge rezone the 4.3 acre property located at 7495 West 29 h Avenue. This property is located at the northeast corner of West 29th Avenue and Wadsworth Boulevard. This request is intended to rezone the existing R-2 (Residential-Two) zoning to PCD (Planned Commercial District) to allow for commercial redevelopment of the property. The City of Wheat Ridge has adopted a requirement that prior to any application for Rezoning of the property, an applicant must notify all residents and property owners within 600 feet and invite them to a Neighborhood Input Meeting. The purpose of this meeting is to allow the applicant to present his proposal to the neighborhood and to give the neighborhood a forum to express their concerns, issues and desires. A Staff Planner will attend the meeting to discuss City policies and regulations and the process involved, however, the Planner will remain impartial regarding viability of the project. Keep in mind that this is not a public hearing. Although a synopsis of the meeting will be entered as testimony, it is the public hearings in front of the Planning Commission and City Council where decisions are rendered. If you want input in the decision-making process, it is imperative that you attend the public hearings. The kinds of concerns residents normally have include the following: • Is the proposal compatible with surrounding land uses and zoning? • Are there adequate utilities and services in place or proposed to serve the project? • What is the impact on our streets? • How will this proposal affect my property? • Where will the storm drainage go? • How will the project be designed to enhance rather than detract from the neighborhood? • What specific changes can be made in the proposal to make it more acceptable to me? If you have any questions, please call the Planning Department at: (303)235-2846.

Pharo Associates, Inc. SEM Architects, Inc. 2835 W. Oxford Avenue, #6 677 S. Colorado Blvd. Suite 200 Englewood, CO 80110 Denver, CO 80246 Attending Staff: Meredith Reckert, Travis Crane, Dave Brossman, Jeff Hirt Address or Specific Site Location: 7495 W. 29th Avenue Existing Zoning: Residential Two (R-2) Existing Comprehensive Plan: Small Office/Business Center on the majority. A small piece at the northern end of the property is shown as Single Family (not to exceed 6 dwelling units per acre) and Single Family (not to exceed 4 dwelling units per acre) Applicant/Owner Preliminary Proposal: The property contains 4.45 acres and is a corner lot with street frontages on W. 29th Avenue and Wadsworth Blvd. The current use of the property is nonconforming in that it has a mortuary and chapel on the southern portion. Chapels require a special use permit to operate in the R-2 zone district, and to the best of staff's knowledge, no such permit has ever been issued. Mortuaries are not allowed in the R-2 zone district under the city's current regulations. Access is provided by a curb cut on 29th Avenue and two curb cuts on Wadsworth. A farmhouse and outbuildings are located on the north side of the property. Access to the farmhouse is via a driveway from Wadsworth. An additional unpaved access exists from the intersection of Webster Street and W. 30th Avenue at the northeast corner of the property. The applicant submitted four development scenarios showing designs for retail/restaurant development. All four scenarios kept the structures on the south end of the property. The farmhouse on the north end would be demolished. Scenario A: Construct two retail pads with 16,000 square feet each with a plaza area centered on the property. Parking in the front (west) and rear (east). Scenario B: Construct a 23,400 square foot retail pad with two 6000-7000 square foot retail/restaurant pads in front. Parking will occur to the north and rear (east). Scenario C: Construct 29,700 square feet of retail with neo-traditional design (the structure pushed up close the street with all parking behind the building). Scenario D: Build 29,700 square foot retail pad with service area on the northeast. Building pushed to the rear (east) side of property and parking on the front (west). A zone change to Planned Commercial Development will be required with all of the scenarios proposed. Approval of an outline development plan and final development plan and plat would be required, the process for which is discussed later Will a neighborhood meeting need to be held prior to application submittal? YES Planning Comments: Access: The access off W. 29th Avenue should be situated opposite and in line with the existing Municipal Building access and if possible, mirror the design with a wide median separating the entrance and exit. Three of the proposed development scenarios show full-access movements to Wadsworth Blvd. Wadsworth is a state highway and it is likely any access will be limited to right-in/right-out. Any access from Wadsworth will have to be approved by the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT). A right-of-way dedication of up to 20' for Wadsworth and construction of an accel/decal lane will be required. The application package should include a traffic impact study. There is an existing half-street dedication north of the property extending from the Webster/30th Avenue intersection west to Wadsworth Blvd. Staff does not support additional dedication and extension of this public street and would support a vacation of this 25' from the north. A pedestrian connection to the neighborhood from the northeast corner of the site is encouraged. The design and construction of both Wadsworth and W. 29th Avenue must incorporate streetscape elements including a separated sidewalk with tree lawn. Buffering: The commercial standard for landscaped coverage is 20%. Per the Code of Laws Sec. 26-502(D)(3)(d)(1), all nonresidential uses located adjacent to residentially zoned areas shall provide a screened or landscaped buffer area. The screened or landscaped area can consist of either a six foot high solid fence or landscaped hedge with a mature height of six feet, or a strip of land at least 15 feet wide planted with a variety of vegetation. As the properties to the east and north of the proposed development are zoned Residential- 2 Two (R-2) a landscaped buffer will be required along these sides. It was pointed out that one of the residents at the south end of Webster received a variance to allow an 8' high fence to provide buffering from the mortuary use. It would be encouraged to have increased buffering in the form of an 8' high wall with a 15' wide landscaped strip with heavy vegetation. There are existing mature trees on the property. As many of these as possible should be preserved. Buffering will be required on the north side as well. Uses: The applicant indicated that uses within the development will be neighborhood oriented retail. The applicant will work with the case manager to determine the list of uses. Staff suggested starting with the Commercial-One use list and eliminating those uses which are undesirable. Undesirable uses would include auto related uses including gas stations, adult entertainment and all uses requiring outside display and/or storage. "Soft" drive-throughs (banks, Starbucks, etc) may be allowed but Staff would not support fast food restaurants within the development. Drive-through uses may have to be differentiated on the ODP based on vehicle trips and hours of operation so that fast food uses are eliminated. Adaptive reuse of the existing office/mortuary and chapel is highly encouraged. Use of the existing structures for a church is discouraged. Architecture on the new retail structure(s) should be consistent with and have architectural elements emulating the southern buildings. Design of the structures must be consistent with the City's Architectural Design Guidelines. Staff questioned whether mixed use incorporating residential units would be feasible. The applicant responded that the size of the property would not support residential units. Process: Development of the property will entail rezoning the property to a Planned Commercial Development District. The City's planned development approval process is comprised of two steps. The first step is the rezoning approval, which requires submittal of an outline development plan. The outline development plan will rezone the property and define the allowable uses for the property, as well as establish development standards such as minimum landscaped coverage, maximum building height and maximum building coverage. The second step is approval of a final development plan and platting. The final development plan addresses the finer details of the development including landscaping, architectural design of the proposed structure(s), and drainage improvements. Both steps require public hearing review by Planning Commission and City Council. The outline development plan and final development plan can be processed individually or can be reviewed concurrently. The concurrent process will reduce the number of required public hearings. 3 There is a requirement for a pre-application neighborhood meeting. The applicant is responsible for notifying all of the property owners and residents within a 600-foot radius of this meeting so those desiring to attend can comment on the proposed land use application. The Community Development Department will initiate the 600' radius property owner search for the neighborhood meeting noticing. The date, time and place of the neighborhood meeting must be coordinated with a city staff member who will attend the meeting. There is a $100 charge for required staff time for the neighborhood meeting. Public Works comments: See enclosed public works requirements dated February 24, 2005.

Olinger property located at Wadsworth Boulevard and 29th Avenue in Wheat Ridge, Colorado. The property contains several historic buildings, including the George W. Olinger House (built in 1914 and later used as a mortuary) at the south end of the property, and a farmhouse (built c. 1892) and an associated barn located at the north end of the parcel. The site also contains a long (approx. 200- 300 ft-long) historic pergola colonnade structure closely paralleling Wadsworth Boulevard; a small historic brick pumphouse; and landscaping including sunken garden areas and numerous large trees. Other, non-historic features are located on the property, including a tall, painted brick chapel building erected in 1969 adjacent to the Olinger House; a modern wood frame garage located behind the c. 1892 farmhouse, and large asphalt-paved parking lots behind (north of) the Olinger House/Mortuary and Chapel. Photographs of the property are appended to this report. The investigation was completed between December 29, 2005 and January 3, 2006 by Jason Marmor, FHU Cultural Resources Specialist. This report presents the result of that investigation, along with recommendations concerning the property's eligibility for designation as a City of Wheat Ridge Historical Landmark, as well as for listing on the State Register of Historic Properties (SRHP) and National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). The assessment was requested in conjunction with the Wheat Ridge City Council's review, on January 9, 2006, of a Historical Landmark application filed for the property by the Wheat Ridge Historical Society. No inventory forms were prepared as part of this effort. Objectives and Methods The purpose of the project was to assess the condition, integrity, and significance (historical and architectural) of the former Olinger property and its individual buildings and features. Information was collected through a site visit conducted on December 28, 2005, and through limited archival research. Historical information about the property and the Olinger family and business ventures was obtained from the Colorado Historical Society/Office of Archaeology and Historic Preservation; the Western History Department of the Denver Public Library; and at the Jefferson County Recorder's and Assessor's offices in Golden. The information collected through a site visit and archival research were used to evaluate the site's significance in terms of the City's Historical Landmark criteria as well as the criteria of the NRHP and the SRHP. These criteria are detailed in the Significance Evaluation section of this report (below). Previous Historic Preservation Actions Concerning the Site The George W. Olinger house/mortuary was first recorded as a historical property in 1998-1999 by Robert J. Olson on behalf of the Wheat Ridge Historical Society, as part of a State Historic Fund- supported survey of historic structures in Wheat Ridge (Olson 1998, 1999). The Olinger house/mortuary was originally assigned site number 5JF1392, and Olson evaluated the property 6300 South Syracuse Way, Suite 600 Centennial, CO 80111 tel 303.721.1440 fax 303.721.0832 www.fliueng.com infoWhueng com January 6, 2006 Olinger Property Historical Evaluation Page 3 as eligible for the National Register of Historic Places under Criteria B and C. This finding of significance has not been subject to formal review or concurrence by the Colorado Historical Society/Office of Archaeology and Historic Preservation (OAHP). The site number was later changed by the OAHP to 5JF1910. In late 2005 two efforts were undertaken by separate Wheat Ridge citizens to obtain designation of the Olinger house/mortuary property as a significant historical resource. In September of 2005, Mr. Kevin Murphy commenced an effort to achieve listing of the Olinger property on either the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) or State Register of Historic Properties (SRHP). A Preliminary Property Evaluation Form and supporting documentation has been provided to the Colorado Historical Society for review. At this point, the Colorado Historical Society believes that there is insufficient justification to support a finding of significance to the degree needed for either the State or National registers; furthermore, the architectural integrity of the Olinger house has been diminished by probable alterations and the adjacent 1969 chapel building. Finally, property owner consent is required for listing on the state and national registers, and is unlikely to be obtained in this case (Chris Geddes, personal communication, 12/30/2005). On November 5, 2005, Claudia Worth, President of the Wheat Ridge Historical Society, applied for Local Historic Landmark designation of the Olinger property by the City of Wheat Ridge. Unlike the state and national register programs, Local Historic Landmark designation can be made without land owner consent, if the Wheat Ridge City Council approves such a designation by a three-fourth majority of the entire membership. The November 2005 Local Historic Landmark Designation Nomination Form asserts that the Olinger house is significant for its architectural characteristics as well as its association with an important person: George W. Olinger. The Wheat Ridge Historical Society supports designation of the property as a Local Historic Landmark, and the city council will meet to decide the issue on Monday, January 9, 2006. Site Description The former George W. Olinger property is located on the northeast side of the intersection of W. 29`h Avenue and Wadsworth Boulevard in the City of Wheat Ridge. The property is rectangular, and contains 4.45 acres. Opposite the property, on the west side of Wadsworth Boulevard, is Crown Hill Memorial Park, a cemetery established in the early 20`h Century by George W. Olinger. The City of Wheat Ridge municipal offices are located just south of the property. Modern residential neighborhoods are located on the north and east sides of the parcel. C. 1892 Farmhouse and outbuildings The property contains two main building clusters and several other features. At the north end of the parcel is a small, 1 %2 story Vernacular Wood Frame farmhouse and two outbuildings. This dwelling has a separate address from the rest of the property: 2960 Wadsworth Boulevard. According to the Jefferson County Assessor's property record, this house was built in 1892. The main portion of the house measures 23 ft wide x 30 ft long. The dwelling is rectangular in plan, with a nearly full-width open front porch equipped with a balustrade railing and a shed roof. A steeply-pitched front gable roof covers the dwelling, and two red brick interior chimneys exit from the roof peak. Its walls are clad with clapboard siding, painted white. An enclosed rear porch, measuring 7 x 13 ft, is attached to the rear/east elevation. The house is fenestrated with narrow 1/1 double-hung windows. No alterations are evident. The house, which contains 1,230 ft2 of living space, appears to be well maintained and in very good condition. January 6, 2006 Olinger Property Historical Evaluation Page 4 A short distance behind and slightly north of the farmhouse is a historic, front-gabled wood frame barn. This barn measures 38 ft long x 20 ft wide and contains 760 ft2 of interior space. This barn likely was constructed at about the same time as the farmhouse (c. 1890s). The barn is clad with horizontal board (drop or clapboard) siding, painted white. It is composed to two joined sections, including a 24 ft long x 20 ft wide east section covered by a steeply-pitched front gable roof, and a lean-to west section, measuring 14 ft long x 20 ft wide. The barn appears unmodified and in good condition. Another, non-historic outbuilding is located a short distance southeast of the farmhouse. This is a detached, wood frame garage covered by a low-pitched front-gable roof. The garage was evidently built much later than the farmhouse and barn, possibly in the 1950s-1960s. The building rests on a high concrete foundation, and its walls are clad with lapped weatherboard siding. The building has garage doors on its east end. Four 12-light windows are placed on the building's west elevation. The garage is a plain, utilitarian structure and appears to be in excellent condition. Olinger House/Mortuary At the south end of the parcel is the George W. Olinger House (built in 1914), and an adjacent, tall, brick mortuary chapel (built in 1969). The Olinger House is constructed of brick, painted off-white. The house is not a pure example of a distinct architectural style, but may best be classified as either Mediterranean or Italian Renaissance Revival-style (Pearce 1983:49-50; McAlester and McAlester 1988:397-401). Distinctive stylistic elements include a red clay tile-clad hip roof with wide eaves and modillions, brick masonry walls, and the use of paired Tuscan columns. The irregular-plan 1-story house/mortuary is covered by a flat-crested hip roof clad with red Spanish roof tiles. The roof has wide overhanging boxed eaves embellished with modillions. The fagade is symmetrically arranged and features a full-width enclosed/glazed front porch, with a projecting central portico. This portico is equipped with paired Tuscan columns. The enclosed front porch is fenestrated with a series of large 18/2 windows. The centrally-placed main entry contains a wide, painted wood door with six lights. A semicircular eyebrow dormer is placed directly above the main entry. The house's fenestration is varied and consists mainly of multi-light double-hung and sash-and-transom windows. The west elevation features a projecting porch with a brick rail and a substantial tile-clad hip roof supported by paired short Tuscan columns. This porch provides access to a side entry equipped with glazed multi-light double-doors flanked by tall 8-light sidelights with thin muntins. This entry is reached via a concrete stoop covered by a modern wooden wheelchair ramp with a balustrade railing. A two story rear wing contains a ground floor garage and an upper story living space. This wing is covered by a widely-overhanging pyramidal hip roof that closely matches the style of the dwelling's main roof. This rear wing may have been added in 1949 - the date provided by the Jefferson County Assessor's record as the date of construction for this building. The entire house contains 4,449 ft2 of space. The Olinger house/mortuary sits on an elevated pad. It is accessed on the front/south side by paired concrete walkways flanked at curbside by terra-cotta-clad ornamental lamp posts, containing lion's-head elements in relief and supporting large electric lanterns. The main entry is reached by climbing a concrete stairway, flanked by brick side walls supporting tapered lamp posts holding spherical white-frosted globe lights. According to information compiled by Kevin Murphey, January 6, 2006 Olinger Property Historical Evaluation Page 5 as well as a 1925 photograph, large replica Classical statuary also was displayed on the grounds near the house. A short distance east of the Olinger house is a tall, rectangular-plan, painted brick chapel building covered by a flat-topped hip roof. The roof has wide boxed eaves but lacks modillions similar to those installed on the Olinger house. The chapel was built in 1969, and its design effectively mimics the design of the house. The main mass of the building measures 32 ft wide x 76 ft long. A substantial porte-cochere projects from the front (south side) of the chapel over a driveway, and consists of a flat-topped canopy supported by Tuscan columns. The chapel's facade is symmetrically arranged, with a large entry set in a semi-circular-arched opening. Double, painted wood doors are installed in this entryway beneath a multi-light, semi-circular-arched window. Tall, 3-part stained glass window panels are placed near each end of the facade. The building's long east and west elevations are fenestrated with a series of large, multi-light, semi-circular arched windows placed at cornice-level, to illuminate the interior. Attached to the chapel's west elevation is a 1-story wing of painted brick with a flat-topped hip roof. The rear (north) elevation features a portico with paired Tuscan columns and wide concrete steps providing access to a set of doors similar to those on the front of the building. Pergola The site also contains a long (approx. 200-300 ft-long) historic pergola colonnade structure closely paralleling Wadsworth Boulevard. The pergola was in existence as least as early as 1925, based upon a historic photograph of the property with that date at the Denver Public Library. The pergola structure is composed of parallel rows of massive, cylindrical stuccoed columns with square bases, each approximately 2.5-3' in diameter. Seventeen sets of these columns or piers support an arbor structure consisting of longitudinal rails affixed to the tops of the columns, above which are placed perpendicular 4x4" cross-pieces and thin (lath-size) longitudinal stringers. This arbor was originally a wood structure, but in recent years it was replaced by more weatherproof vinyl fencing/siding. At present the arbor does not support any vines. The pergola covers an approximately 8' wide concrete walkway, which is cracked and deteriorating in many places. The pergola was used by Olinger family members as well as pedestrian passers-by on Wadsworth Avenue. Pump house A small historic brick pump house is located on the east side of the pergola, towards the north end of the property. The pump house is square in plan, measuring approximately 10'x 10'. Its walls are constructed of brick masonry, painted off-white. The building is covered by a low-pitched pyramidal hip roof with wide overhanging boxed eaves. An entry equipped with what appears to be the original painted wood panel door, is located on the east side of the pump house. This entry is accessed by a small concrete stoop. Sealed window openings are present on the west and south sides of the pump house. The pump house appears to be in very good condition. Landscaping The Olinger property presents a park-like appearance. The parcel also contains deliberate landscaping including sunken garden areas and numerous large trees, and large asphalt-paved parking lots behind (north of) the Olinger House/Mortuary and Chapel. January 6, 2006 Olinger Property Historical Evaluation Page 6 Historical Summary This site was included in the 160-acre homestead of Asahel H. Beach and Anastacia Baselas, patented on February 15, 1870. This homestead occupied the SE'/4 of Section 26 in Township 3 South, Range 69 West. Beach's and Baselas' land was purchased in 1872 by William and Moritz Barth, who ten years later (1882) platted it as Barth's Subdivision. The subdivision contained four 40-acre blocks, each divided into four 10-acre lots. Lot 3, where the Olinger house was later built, was acquired from the Barths by Simon Brown at an unknown date. Brown may have built the small wood frame farmhouse that remains on the property today. On March 1, 1911, George W. Olinger purchased the west half of this lot from Mr. Brown (Warranty Deed, Book 177, p. 50, Jefferson County Clerk & Recorder's Office, Golden). The parcel was located opposite Crown Hill Cemetery, which was started by Mr. Olinger in 1907. George Washington Olinger was born on February 22, 1882 in Santa Fe, New Mexico. In 1890, George accompanied his parents, John W. and Emma Olinger, to Denver where the senior Olinger opened a mortuary at Fifteenth and Platte streets. George began working in the mortuary in 1897, and following his father's death in 1900, George Olinger and his mother became partners in the undertaking business. Upon his mother's death in 1932, George W. Olinger took complete control of Oiinger Mortuaries, Inc. In addition to carrying on the thriving mortuary business started by his parents, Mr. Olinger became involved in real estate development in the Wheat Ridge area as well as a leader in boys' organizations in the Denver area. George Olinger was responsible for the development of Crown Hill Cemetery in 1907, a new mortuary at Sixteenth and Boulder Streets in Denver in 1908, and the Olinger Gardens subdivision (1919). In the 1920s he also created a number of other residential subdivisions, including Wellshire (or Welshire), Bonnie Brae, and Indian Hills (Rocky Mountain News 1954; Olson 1998). Mr. Olinger played an important role in the creation and maintenance of organizations founded to help build boys' character. He founded Highlander Boys in 1916, was instrumental in constructing the Temple of Youth (later the State Armory), and he donated land and helped found Geneva Glen camp. Mr. Olinger also served as director of boys' work for Rotary International. In 1930 Mr. Olinger expanded the mortuary business by leasing a building at Speer Blvd. and Sherman Street in Denver. Two more branches were added in 1952 and 1953. According to the Wheat Ridge News (copies curated at Wheat Ridge Historic Park), the Olinger house was built in 1914, three years after Olinger acquired the parcel (Olson 1998). The property also contained an older farmhouse and barn, which were put into use as a caretaker's residence. Elaborate landscaping, including sunken gardens and a long pergola, was installed on the 4.45- acre property. George Olinger resided at this address in rural Wheat Ridge with his wife Margaret (whom he married in 1904), until his death in 1954. Following the passing of George W. Olinger, his daughter Gwendolyn and her husband Francis VanDerbur took control of Olinger Mortuaries, Inc. In 1968 Margaret Olinger died, and shortly thereafter, in 1969-70, the former George Olinger house was converted into another mortuary. At that time, a chapel and parking lots were added to the property. In 1987 all properties owned by Olinger Mortuaries Inc. were sold to Morlan International, Inc., who in turn sold them in the same year (1987) to S.C.I. of Houston, Texas. The property was recently sold to Sevo Miller, a real estate company who has intentions of removing the extant buildings and developing homes on the parcel. January 6, 2006 Olinger Property Historical Evaluation Page 7 Significance Evaluation National Register of Historic Places Established in 1966 under the National Historic Preservation Act, the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) is the Nation's official list of cultural resources worthy of preservation. To be considered significant, cultural resources must be over 50 years old, possess sufficient integrity, and meet one or more of the NRHP evaluation criteria. These evaluation criteria, as specified in Title 36 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 60, are as follows: "The quality of significance in American history, architecture, archaeology, engineering, and culture is present in districts, sites, buildings, structures, and objects that possess integrity of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association and A. That are associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of our history; or B. That are associated with the lives of persons significant in our past; or C. That embody the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction or that represent the work of a master, or that possess high artistic values, or that represent a significant and distinguishable entity whose components may lack individual distinction; or D. That have yielded, or may be likely to yield, information important in prehistory or history." Evaluation/Justification: The Olinger house/mortuary has been altered by construction of the adjacent chapel building, by probable construction of the two story rear wing, and modifications to the projecting west side porch. Additionally, replacement of extensive gardens with parking lots behind the former house/mortuary, has also negatively affected the property's integrity. These changes have reduced the property's integrity to the extent that it cannot qualify for inclusion on the NRHP. Chris Geddes of the Colorado Historical Society, who is reviewing a potential NRHP or SRHP nomination submitted by Kevin Murphy, has also questioned the property's alleged architectural significance, and whether or not the residential property best represents the contributions of the Olinger family to the history of the Denver metro area. For all of these reasons IM WRI. Colorado State Register of Historic Properties The Colorado State Register of Historic Properties is a listing of the state's significant cultural resources worthy of preservation for the future education and enjoyment of Colorado's residents and visitors. Properties listed in the State Register include individual buildings, structures, objects, districts and historic and archaeological sites. The State Register program is administered by the Office of Archaeology and Historic Preservation (OAHP) within the Colorado Historical Society. The Society maintains an official list of all properties included in the State Register. Properties that are listed in the National Register of Historic Places are automatically placed in the State Register. Properties may also be nominated separately to the State Register without inclusion in the National Register. January 6, 2006 Olinger Property Historical Evaluation Page 8 The State Register Nomination Criteria are as follows: "Significance in history, architecture, archeology, and culture is present in buildings, sites, structures, objects, districts, and areas that possess integrity of location, setting, design, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association and that meet one of the following criteria: A. The property is associated with events that have made a significant contribution to history; or B. The property is connected with persons significant in history; or C. The property has distinctive characteristics of a type, period, method of construction, or artisan; or D. The property has geographic importance; or E. The property contains the possibility of important discoveries related to prehistory or history." (Colorado Historical Society/Office of Archaeology and Historic Preservation 2000). City of Wheat Ridge Historical Landmarks The City of Wheat Ridge's commitment to, and regulations for, historic preservation are presented in Article IX, Section 26-900-915 of the Wheat Ridge Municipal Code. The stated purpose and intent of Article IX is "to establish and preserve historic landmarks for the educational, cultural and economic benefit of Wheat Ridge citizens, by preserving, protecting, enhancing, and regulating the use of buildings and structures that are reminders of past eras, events and persons important in local, state or national history, which are landmarks in the history of architecture, which provide examples of the physical surroundings in which past generations lived or which are archaeologically significant. The Code also asserts that "it is not the intention of this article to preserve every old building or structure in the city, but rather to provide a process to evaluate and protect only those buildings and structures deemed to have historical significance" (Sec. 26-90; Ordnance No. 2001-1215, § 1, 2-26-01). A historic landmark is defined in the Code as "Any structure or improvement designated as historic under the provisions of [Article IX]." The criteria by which properties are judged for Historic Landmark designation by the City of Wheat Ridge are as follows: "The [Wheat Ridge] city council shall consider whether the structure is of particular historical, architectural, cultural or archaeological significance which: Evaluation/Justification: For reasons similar to those stated above concerning NRHP-eligibility, the January 6, 2006 Olinger Property Historical Evaluation Page 9 A. Exemplifies or reflects the broad cultural, political, economic or social history of the nation, state or community; or B. Is identified with historic persons or with important events in national, state or local history; or C. Embodies distinguishing characteristics of an architectural type inherently valuable for the study of a period, style, method of construction or of indigenous materials or craftsmanship; or D. Is representative of the notable work of a master builder, designer or architect whose individual ability has been recognized; or E. Is recommended as an historic landmark by the Wheat Ridge Historical Society board of directors. (Source: Sec. 26-906; Ordnance No. 2001-1215, § 1, 2-26-01). Evaluation/Justification: Unlike the NRHP and SRHP, the City of Wheat Ridge's Historic Landmark ordnance appears to lack an explicit integrity requirement. The Olinger property contains the house of one of the community's leading historical persons, who contributed to the development and success of the Denver area mortuary business started by his father in 1890. George W. Olinger also was important for his role in developing real estate in the Wheat Ridge area, and for his leading role in boys' organizations in the Denver metropolitan area during the early 201h century.
