CITY COUNCIL MINUTES: February 14, 2000 Page - 2 -
Richard Rodriguez, attorney for the applicants, feels that what they have presented to Council
based on the current state of development of those five parcels is consistent with what
Council was considering back in 1981. The proposed subdivision meets all of the zoning and
subdivision requirements; City Council should follow the recommendations of Planning
Commission and staff and approve this project.
Motion by Mr. DiTullio to deny Case No. WS-99-01, an application for a nine lot combined
preliminary and final subdivision plat for property located at 11661 West 4411 Avenue and
11680 West 46t1 Avenue for the following reasons: 1. The condition imposed by Ordinance
443 (March 9, 1981) requiring "unified design illustrating external and internal circulation and
access points onto public or private roadways, and which illustrates building envelopes" has
not been met. 2. The application contains appropriate detail only with respect to the northern
one half of the subject property and is wholly lacking in such detail for the southern one half.
3. No unified plan for traffic circulation to, from and within the entirety of the subject property
is presented.
I further move to direct the City Attorney to prepare written findings and decision memorializing
this action for consideration by Council on the February 28, 2000 Council meeting; seconded
by Mr. Edwards; carried 6-2 with Mr. Mancinelli and Mr. Hanley voting no.
Motion by Mr. DiTullio to deny the application for a site plan in conjunction with Case No. WS-

for a portion of Simms Street (adjacent to 4455 Simms Street) within the City of
Wheat Ridge, County of Jefferson, State of Colorado.
(Case No. WV-99-03) (Jim Turgeon, et. al.)
(Continued from January 24, 2000)
Mayor Cerveny reconvened the hearing from January 24, 2000.
Richard Rodriguez, attorney for the applicant, withdrew Agenda Item 2, due to the Council's
decision on Item 1.

Kim Stewart was sworn in by the Mayor; appreciates the Council's consideration and declined
to comment since the applicant has withdrawn.
Motion by Mr. DiTullio to postpone Council Bill 17 indefinitely; seconded by Mr. Siler;
carried 8-0.
Item 3. Council Bill 02-2000 - An Ordinance providing for the approval of a rezoning from
Residential-One to Residential-Two for property located at 3601 Kipling Street,
City of Wheat Ridge, County of Jefferson, State of Colorado.
(Case No. WZ-99-13) (Ryan and Maureen Carey)
Item 3 was introduced by Mrs. Shaver; title and summary read by the Clerk; Ordinance No.
1182 assigned.
Applicant, Ryan Carey, was sworn in by the Mayor; he stated that the reason he is seeking
this rezoning is to convert the existing building to a duplex. The only changes they are
planning to make are landscaping and change the access; they want to close off the south half
of the existing drive and install a new driveway which accesses 35m Avenue; they don't intend
to increase the size of the dwelling and the interior is already set up like a duplex. He
requested that the two conditions required by the Planning Commission not be added to the
approval. This change of use would be of long term benefit to the applicant, the neighbors,
and the City.
Alan White, Planning Director, was sworn in by the Mayor and presented the staff report. It is
our policy and the Department of Transportation's policy to decrease the access points to
Kipling whenever possible. He agreed with the applicant that the moving of the driveway
would be a hardship for the applicant and be of no benefit to the City. He confirmed that the
driveway is paved with asphalt, it is not gravel.
Motion by Ms. Figlus that Council Bill 2-2000 (Ordinance 1182) (Case No. WZ-99-13), be
approved for the following reasons: 1. Conversion of the existing single family home to a
duplex would be more consistent with the surrounding land uses on the north side of West 35th
Avenue. 2. The reorganization of property access by closing a driveway on Kipling Street and
moving it to West 35th Avenue is beneficial to traffic flow in the area. 3. The evaluation criteria
support approval. With the following condition: There will be no more than two access points
on the property, preferably one on Kipling Street and one on West 35th Avenue; seconded by
Mr. DiTullio.
Mrs. Shaver cannot support this because there are several criteria that have not been met;
she sees no benefit to the community; there will be more traffic; property could continue to be
used as a single family residence. There is a need for single family rentals, we have gobs of
duplexes.

The property is within the City of Wheat Ridge, and all notification and posting requirements have been
met, therefore, there is jurisdiction to hear this case.
L REQUEST
The applicants are requesting approval of a right-of-way vacation for a portion of Simms Street. This
application is being processed in conjunction with Case No. WS-99-01. Please refer to the
subdivision plat for Case No. WS-99-01.
If the vacation is approved, access to Lot 2 will be by an access easement across Lot 1 (cross access
easement already shown on plat document). Because a driveway is already in place, no physical
improvements will be made. No changes to the existing curb cut on 44ffi Avenue are proposed.
IL AGENCY REFERRALS
All responding agencies have indicated no problems with the vacation. Because not all agencies have
responded, there may be utility service lines within this right-of-way. A motion for approval should
include a condition to reserve a utility easement.
III. EVALUATION CRITERIA
Section 26-6 (I) requires that Council make the following determinations in considering requests to
vacation right-of-way:
1. That the proposed vacation will not leave any adjoining land without access to an
established public right-of-way.
2. That the proposed vacation is in conformity with the goals and policies of the
Transportation Section of the Comprehensive Plan of the City of Wheat Ridge.
3. That the proposed vacation will not have a negative impact on the infrastructure of the
City of Wheat Ridge.
4. That adequate easements have been reserved for use and / or maintenance by the City
or other utility agencies.
IV. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION
A Planning Commission public hearing was held regarding this case on June 17, 1999. A
recommendation of approval was given for the following reasons:
1. There could be negative impacts on West 40 Avenue if Simms Street is extended.
2. This extension is not needed for local circulation.
3. The evaluation criteria support approval.
with the following conditions:
1. The corresponding plat reflects a cross access/ingress-egress easement at this location.
2. A utility easement be reserved over the width being vacated.
3. The adjacent property be re-addressed to West 44th Avenue.

City Council
Two study sessions by the Planning Commission were held in November to discuss traffic circulation
in this area. The consensus of the Planning Commission was that the cul-de-sac proposed for the
Turgeon subdivision not be extended south to connect with West 44`h Avenue.

RE: Turgeon Subdivision/vacation Applications
Dear Council Members:
I will be unable to attend the City Council's public hearing regarding the
above applications. However, I am familiar with the subdivision that
will be presented to the council and would like to express my support
of the applications.
I have owned the property directly south and east of the Turgeon property
for approximately 18 years. The property is directly east of the Fightmaster
property. My grandfather was born on this property and it has been in my
family for 120 years. I use the property for a roping arena and other
agricultural purposes and have no intention of further developing the
property.
I believe the Turgeon subdivision as proposed will have no negative effects
on the area. I would oppose any proposal that considers the construction
of a road or street on or near the western boundary of my property or a
connection of 46th aed 44rh Avenues. I feel any such proposal is unneces-
sary, is likely to increase traffic in the area, and is not in the beat
interests of the residents of this community.
I would ask that the Council vote in favor of the Turgeon applications as
presented.
ineerely,
Doug illiams

of 7-0.
It was moved by Commissioner SNOW and seconded by Commissioner COLLINS that the
motion for approval of the site plan for Case No. WS 99-01 be reconsidered to add a condition.

B.
Case No. WV-99-03: An application submitted by Jim Turgeon, et al, for approval of a right-
of-way vacation for an unused portion of the street right-of-way adjacent to 4455 Simms Street.
This case was presented by Meredith Reckert. She reviewed the staff report and presented
slides and overheads of the subject property. All pertinent documents were entered into the
record and accepted by Chair BRINKMAN. Ms. Reckert advised the Commission that there
was jurisdiction to hear the case. She stated that staff would recommend that an easement be
reserved over the area being vacated. Staff concluded there could be negative effects on 44th

Avenue if Simms Street is extended. Since this extension is not needed for local circulation
and all criteria used to evaluate the request have been met, staff recommended approval.
In response to a question from Commissioner COLLINS. Ms. Reckert replied the vacated right-
of-way would revert to Mr. Fightmaster. Commissioner COLLINS felt that it was confusing to
have Mr. Turgeon apply for a street vacation on Mr. Fightmaster's property and he would.
therefore, vote against the application.
Richard Rodriguez returned to the podium. In reference to Commissioner COLLINS'
concerns, he stated that all of the property owners involved in the subdivision have signed the
application which is standard protocol in right-of-way vacations.
Commissioner MACDOUGALL asked if there is right-of-way on the east side of the subject
right-of-way. Ms. Reckert replied that it is a freestanding piece of right-of-way which does not
adjoin any other right-of-way.
It was moved by Commissioner DOYLE and seconded by Commissioner MACDOUGALL
that Case No. WV-999-03, a request for approval of right-of-way vacation adjacent to 4455
Simms Street, be recommended to the City Council for approval for the following reasons:
1. There could be negative effects on 44th Avenue if Simms Street is extended.
2. This extension is not needed for local circulation.
3. The evaluation criteria support approval.
With the following conditions:
1. The corresponding plat reflects a cross access/ingress-egress easement at this location.
Z. A utility easement be reserved over the width being vacated.
3. The adjacent property be readdressed to West 44th Avenue.
The motion passed by a vote of 5 to 2 with Commissioners SNOW and COLLINS voting no.
Commissioner SNOW stated that she voted against the motion because she would prefer the
right-of-way to stay in city ownership until the rest of the land in this area is developed.
8. OLD BUSINESS
A. COMP PLAN Meeting Commissioner SNOW moved and Commissioner THOMPSON
seconded that the Planning Commission continue the discussion of the Comprehensive Plan
following the public hearing on July 1, 1999. The motion passed by a vote of 5-2 with

ATTACHMENT4
I. REQUEST
The applicants request approval of a right-of-way vacation for a portion of Simms Street. This
application is being processed in conjunction with Case No. WS-99-01.
If the vacation is approved, access to Lot 2 will be by an access easement across Lot 1 (cross access
easement already shown on plat document). Because a driveway is already in place, no physical
improvement will be required. '
II. AGENCY REFERRALS
All responding agencies have indicated no problems with the vacation. Staff questions whether there
are utility service lines within this area, therefore is recommending reservation of a utility easement.
Public Works does not want to see a public street connection with W. 44" Avenue at this location and
supports the vacation.
M. EVALUATION CRITERIA
Before a street right-of-way vacation is approved, the applicant shall show and the Planning
Commission and City Council shall make the following determinations:
1. That the proposed vacation will not leave any adjoining land without access to an
established public road.,
The right-of-way is an isolated piece of land which was dedicated and accepted by the Jefferson
County Commissioners pursuant to two deeds recorded in 1955. It is unclear to Staff the reasons for
the dedication as it does not connect with any adjacent rights-of-way. At one point man., years ago,
the City of Wheat Ridge was pursuing construction of a north/south street between W. 32nd Avenue
and I-70. This corridor is no longer deemed necessary or politically feasible.
2. That the proposed vacation is in conformity with the most recently enacted goals and
policies of the Transportation Section of the current Comprehensive Plan of the City of
Wheat Ridge.
Vacation of this right-of--way will not be inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
That the proposed vacation will not have a negative impact on the infrastructure of
the City of Wheat Ridge.
The Department of Public Works has recommended against a street connection between W. 44"
Avenue and West 46th Avenue at this location. According to the memo from the Traffic Engineer,
potential safety and operational problems could result on 44th Avenue if Simms Street is extended.
4. That adequate easements have been reserved for use and/or maintenance by the
City or other utility agencies.
All responding agencies have indicated no objections to the vacation. Staff would recommend a
utility easement be reserved over the vacated right-of-way.
VI. STAFF CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATION
Staff concludes that there could be negative affects on 44' Avenue if Simms Street is extended.
Since this extension is not needed for local circulation and the criteria used to evaluate the request
support it, a recommendation of Approval is given for Case No. WV-99-03 with the following
conditions:
I . The corresponding plat reflects a cross access/ingress-egress easement at this location.
2. An utility easement be reserved over the width being vacated.
4. The adjacent property be readdressed to W. 44`s Avenue.
VII. RECOMMENDED MOTIONS
Option A: "I move that Case No. WV-99-03, a request for approval of a right-of-way vacation
adjacent to 4455 Simms Street, be recommended to the City Council for APPROVAL for the
following reasons:
1. There could be negative affects on 44th Avenue if Simms Street is extended.
2. This extension is not needed for local circulation.
3. The evaluation criteria support approval."
With the following conditions:
1. The corresponding plat reflects a cross access/ingress-egress easement at this location.
2. A utility easement be reserved over the width being vacated.
3. The adjacent property be readdressed to W. 44' Avenue."

RE: Turgeon Subdivision/Vacation Applications
Dear Council Members:
T TaF~
I rill be unable to attend the City Council's public hearing regarding the
above applications. However, I am familiar with the subdivision that
will be presented to the council and would like to express my support
of the applications.
I have owned the property directly south and east of the Turgeon property
for approximately 18 years. The property is directly east of the Fightmaster
property. My grandfather was born on this property and it has been in my
family for 120 years. I use the property for a roping arena and other
agricultural purposes and have no intention of further developing the
property.
1 believe the Turgeoa subdivision as proposed will have no negative effects
on the area. I would oppose any proposal that considers the construction
of a road or street on or near the western boundary of my property or a
connection of 46th and 44th Avenues. I feel any such proposal is unneces-
sary, is likely to increase traffic in the area, and is not in the best
interests of the residents of this community.
I would ask that the Council vote in favor of the Turgeon applications as
presented.
ine-rely,
Doug i111ams

forester to consider if the trees can be saved and, if not, that equivalent caliper inches of
those trees removed be placed throughout the development.
2. That the 6-foot privacy fence be continued on the eastern portion of the property.
3. That a letter from the ditch company be required.
4. That this case be published as a preliminary and final plat for the city council hearing.

of 7-0.
It was moved by Commissioner SNOW and seconded by Commissioner COLLINS that the
motion for approval of the site plan for Case No. WS 99-01 be reconsidered to add a condition.

B. Case No. WV-99_03; An application submitted by Jim Turgeon, et al, for approval of a right-
of-way vacation for a n unused portion of the street right-of-way adjacent to 4455 Simms Street.

slides and overheads of the subject property. All pertinent documents were entered into the

Avenue if Simms Street is extended. Since this extension is not needed for local circulation,
and all criteria used to evaluate the request have been met, staff recommended apprcval.
In response to a question from Commissioner COLLINS. Ms. Recker replied the vacated richt-
of-way would revert to Mr. Fightmaster. Commissioner COLLINS felt that it was confiuin_c to
have Mr. Turgeon apply for a street vacation on Mr. Fightmaster's propem and he would.
therefore, vote against the application.
Richard Rodriguez returned to the podium. In reference to Commissioner COLLINS'
concerns, he stated that all of the property owners involved in the subdivision have signed the
application which is standard protocol in right-of-way vacations.
Commissioner MACDOUGALL asked if there is right-of-way on the east side of the subject
right-of-way. Ms. Recker replied that it is a freestanding piece of right-of-way which does not
adjoin any other right-of-way.

I. REQUEST
The applicants request approval of a rieht-of-way vacation for a portion of Simms Street T:';i
application is being processed in conjunction with Case No. WS-99-01.
If the vacation is approved, access to Lot 2 will be by an access easement across Lot 1 (cross access
easement already, shown on plat document). Because a driveway is already in place. no ph)-sical
improvement will be required._ .
II. AGENCY REFERRALS
All responding agencies have indicated no problems with the vacation. Staff questions whether there
are utility service lines within this area, therefore is recommending reservation of a utility easement.
Public. Works does not want to see a public street connection with W. 44" Avenue at this location and
supports the vacation.
III. EVALUATION CRITERIA
Before a street right-of-way vacation is approved, the applicant shall show and the Planning
Commission and City Council shall make the following determinations;
That the proposed vacation will not leave any adjoining land without access to an
established public road.,
The right-of-way is an isolated piece of land which was dedicated and accepted by the Jefferson
County Commissioners pursuant to two deeds recorded in 1955. It is unclear to Staff the reasons for
the dedication as it does not connect with any adjacent rights-of-way. At one point many years ago,
the City of Wheat Ridge was pursuing construction of a north/south street between W. 32nd Avenue
and I-70. This corridor is no longer deemed necessary or politically feasible.
2. That the proposed vacation is in conformity with the most recently enacted goals and
policies of the Transportation Section of the current Comprehensive Plan of the City of
Wheat Ridge.
Vacation of this right-of-way will not be inconsistent with the Comprehensive plan.
3. That the proposed vacation will not have a negative impact on the infrastructure of
the City of Wheat Ridge.
'he Department of Public Works has recommended against a street connection between W. 44"
avenue and West 46" Avenue at this location. According to the memo from the Traffic Engineer,
otential safety and operational problems could result on 44" Avenue if Simms Street is extended.
4• That adequate easements have been reserved for use and/or maintenance by the
City or other utility agencies.
All responding agencies have indicated no objections to the vacation. Staff would recommend a
utilirv easement be reserved over the vacated right-of-way.
,I. STAFF CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATION
Staff concludes that there could be negative affects on 44" Avenue if Simms Street is extended.
Since this extension is not needed for local circulation and the criteria used to evaluate the request
support it, a recommendation of Approval is given for Case No. WV-99-03 with the following
conditions:
1. The corresponding plat reflects a cross access/ingress-egress easement at this location.
2. An utility easement be reserved over the width being vacated.
4. The adjacent property be readdressed to W. 40 Avenue.
VII. RECOMMENDED MOTIONS
Option A: "I move that Case No. WV-99-03, a request for approval of a right-of-way vacation
adjacent to 4455 Simms Street, be recommended to the City Council for APPROVAL for the
following reasons:
1. There could be negative affects on 44" Avenue if Simms Street is extended.
2. This extension is not needed for local circulation.
3. The evaluation criteria support approval."
With the following conditions:
1. The corresponding plat reflects a cross access/ingress-egress easement at this location.
2. A utility easement be reserved over the width being vacated.
3. The adjacent property be readdressed to W. 44" Avenue."
Option B: "I move that Case No., WV-99-03, a request for approval of a right-of-way vacation
adjacent to 4455 Simms Street, be recommended to the City Council for DENIAL for the following
reasons:

Traffic Issues and Impact Analysis for 46' Avenue and Simms/Tabor Street
This memo serves as a response to your request to revisit the possibility of a Simms St. connection with
44" Avenue. First of all, the previous traffic impact study submitted for this location is still considered
valid since it is still within a two-year time frame and the traffic conditions have not changed
significantly. Again, I concur with the findings in the study. All of the traffic projections and
methodology for analysis are done in accordance with the adopted national standards. The study shows
that the development traffic will not adversely affect the immediate intersections. In addition, the level-
of-service of these intersections is still at a good level even for the maximum condition which is the 2015
background traffic plus site traffic.
Concerning the traffic issues in your memo to Bob Goebel, Director of Public Works dated November
19,1996, I am re-submitting the comments contained in the memo I sent to you dated December 4, 1996.
Basically, the Public Works Department has the same position as previously regarding these traffic issues.
Please see me if you wish to discuss this in detail.

RE: Vicinity of West 46th Avenue and Tabor Street
The Department of Planning and Development is in the position of processing a land use case for
property located at 11600 and 11690 West 46th Avenue (Case No. MS-96-2). The applicant is
requesting approval of a six-lot major subdivision with the intention of building a series of four-
plexes. This property was zoned to R-3 in 1980 and is currently vacant.
Many concerns have been expressed from area residents regarding traffic problems in this
vicinity including, but not limited, to the followin-g:
1. When will Tabor Street between West 44th Avenue and I-70 be widened?
2. What future improvements will occur to the intersection of West 44th Avenue
and Tabor Street?
3. What future improvements will occur to the intersection of West 46th Avenue
and Tabor Street?
4. Whit can be done to eliminate commercial traffic in the area ( IE, vehicles using
the south frontage road through the residential neighborhood to get to Tabor and
Miller)?
5: Both West 46th Avenue west of Swadley Street and Simms Street south of the
southern frontage road dead-end at the property referenced above. Can anything
be done to improve signage to eliminate cars driving down to the dead-end and
to the roadblocks themselves which apparently are unmaintained?
6. Will Simms Street be extended south to connect with West 46th Avenue? There
appears to be right-of-way in place although it is not full width.
The Planning Staff expects to see additional commercial and residential development in this area
which will only exacerbate existing traffic problems. This particular case (WS-96-2) is
scheduledd for public hearing in front of Planning Commission on December 5, 1996. I
anticipate a lot of discussion regarding traffic concerns. Would it be possible for an analyses to
be to done and entered as an exhibit as part of the staff report or distributed the night of the
hearing? I would appreciate your help in this matter.

This is a response to your memo to Bob Goebel, dated November 19,1996 referencing the above matter.
Currently Tabor Street from 44th Avenue to I-70 is not in the five-year capital improvement program.
The Public Works Department has no plan to widen this street in the near future, however I would like
to offer some comments:
• The Public Works Department feels that if and when Tabor Street is reconstructed, it will be built
with a 3-lane section; two through lanes with a left turn lane. The three-lane section will be
narrowed down to a 2 lane section when it reaches the Tabor Bridge at I-70. There is no plan to
widen this bridge.
• In reference to intersection improvements at 46th Avenue and Tabor, a left turn lane is anticipated
on Tabor when the widening takes place,.
• At the intersection of 44th and Tabor, a signal should only be constructed when it is warranted.
It is currently unwarranted. Left and right tum lanes are anticipated on Tabor at this intersection.
A left turn lane on 44th Avenue can be planned for if the demand volume indicates that there is
a need for it.
The Public Works Department is working on the signage issues that you mention in your memo.
The Public Works Department is installing a dead end sign for southbound Swadley at 46th
Avenue. I am working with CDOT to come up with guidance signs so that truck traffic traveling
on the I-70 South Frontage Road between Swadley and Miller can be minimized or eliminated.
In reference to the connection of 46th a- ~L S' rvtrn3
a44!wzas_~ even though there is established right-of-
way, Public works Department sees no advantage in the connection in terms of traffic circulation.
This would create a neighborhood traffic problem on Simms Street. Having a connection to 44th
Avenue might generate safety and operational problems. 44th Avenue does not have any left turn
lanes to side streets which creates the potential for rear end accidents .

December 4, 1996
Memorandum
Vicinity of W. 46th Ave and Tabor Street
Pa.-
Side street traffic delay at 44th Avenue would be much greater than at 46th and/faborsince-the
volume at 44th Avenue is much greater. The traffic volume at Tabor and 46th is 2100 and 550,
vehicles per day respectively. These volumes are low compared to 44th Avenue where its volume
is about 9800 vehicles per day. The current volume at 46th and Tabor does not indicate that the
intersection is being congested. This may create more delays at Tabor and 44th , however, it is
much more desirable from an operational and safety standpoint to concentrate the movements to
an intersection which one day may be controlled by a signal. It will also eliminates "cut thru"
traffic attempting to bypass 44th and Tabor. The remaining undeveloped area in the immediate
surrounding area will probably not generate significant traffic volume to overload the intersection
of 46th and Tabor even with full build-out. As the area north of I-70 develops, we may see a
signal warrant develop at 44th and Tabor. Currently, 44th Avenue traverses across the city
connecting Golden and Denver. With this characteristic, side street connections and other access
points to 44th Avenue should be voided as much as possible to minimize the impact on 44th
Avenue.
I hope the above comments provide you some insight for planning purposes. Please see me if you need
additional information or to discuss the issue in greater detail.

JURISDICTION:
The property is within the City of Wheat Ridge, and all notification and posting requirements have been met,
therefore, there is jurisdiction to hear this case.
I. REQUEST
The applicants are request approval of a right-of-way vacation for a portion of Simms Street. This
application is being processed in conjunction with Case No. WS-99-01.
The applicants for the case are those indicated in the staff report for Case No. WS-99-01.
If the vacation is approved, access to Lot 2 will be by an access easement across Lot 1 (cross access
easement already shown on plat document). Because a driveway is already in place, no physical
improvement will be required.
II. AGENCY REFERRALS
All responding agencies have indicated no problems with the vacation. Staff questions whether there
are utility service lines within this area; therefore, is recommending reservation of a utility easement.
Public Works does not want a public street connection with W. 44' Avenue at this location and
supports the vacation.
III. EVALUATION CRITERIA
Before a street right-of-way vacation is approved, the applicant shall show and the Planning
Commission and City Council shall make the following determinations:
1. That the proposed vacation will not leave any adjoining land without access to an
established public road.
The right-of-way is an isolated piece of land which was dedicated and accepted by the
Jefferson County Commissioners pursuant to two deeds recorded in 1955. It is unclear to
Staff the reasons for the dedication as it does not connect with any adjacent rights-of-way. At
one point many years ago, the City of Wheat Ridge was pursuing construction of a north/south
street between W. 32nd Avenue and I-70. This corridor is no longer deemed necessary or
politically feasible.
2. That the proposed vacation is in conformity with the most recently enacted goals and
policies of the Transportation Section of the current Comprehensive Plan of the City of
Wheat Ridge.
Vacation of this right-of-way will not be inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
3. That the proposed vacation will not have a negative impact on the infrastructure of the
City of Wheat Ridge.
The Department of Public Works has recommended against a street connection between W.
44' Avenue and West 46' Avenue at this location. According to the memo from the Traffic
Engineer, potential safety and operational problems could result on 44' Avenue if Simms
Street is extended.
4. That adequate easements have been reserved for use and/or maintenance by the
City or other utility agencies.
All responding agencies have indicated no objections to the vacation. Staff would
recommend a utility easement be reserved over the vacated right-of-way.
IV. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION
A Planning Commission public hearing was held regarding this case on June 17, 1999. A
recommendation of approval was given for the following reasons:
1. There could be negative effects on W. 44' Avenue if Simms Street is extended.
2. This extension is not needed for local circulation.
3. The evaluation criteria support approval.
with the following conditions:
1. The corresponding plat reflects a cross access/ingress-egress easement at this location.
2. A utility easement be reserved over the width being vacated.
3. The adjacent property be readdressed to W. 446 Avenue.
V. STAFF CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATION
Staff concludes that there could be negative affects on 44' Avenue if Simms Street is extended.
Since this extension is not needed for local circulation and the criteria used to evaluate the request
support it, a recommendation of Approval is given for Case No. WV-99-03 with the following
conditions:
1. The corresponding plat reflects a cross access/ingress-egress easement at this location.
2. An utility easement be reserved over the width being vacated.
3. The adjacent property be readdressed to W. 44" Avenue.
VI. RECOMMENDED MOTIONS
Option A: "I move that Council Bill No. 17, a request for approval of a right-of-way vacation
adjacent to 4455 Simms Street, be APPROVED for the following reasons:
1. There could be negative affects on 44" Avenue if Simms Street is extended.
2. This extension is not needed for local circulation.
3. The evaluation criteria support approval."
with the following conditions:
1. The corresponding plat reflects a cross access/ingress-egress easement at this location.
2. A utility easement be reserved over the width being vacated.
3. The adjacent property be readdressed to W. 44' Avenue."

JURISDICTION:
The property is within the City of Wheat Ridge, and all notification and posting requirements have been met,
therefore, there is jurisdiction to hear this case.
6-(
I. REQUEST
The applicants request approval of a right-of-way vacation for a portion of Simms Street. This
application is being processed in conjunction with Case No. WS-99-01.
If the vacation is approved, access to Lot 2 will be by an access easement across Lot I (cross access
easement already shown on plat document). Because a driveway is already in place, no physical
improvement will be required.. '
II. AGENCY REFERRALS
All responding agencies have indicated no problems with the vacation. Staff questions whether there
are utility service lines within this area, therefore is recommending reservation of a utility easement.
Public Works does not want to see a public street connection with W. 44th Avenue at this location and
supports the vacation.
III. EVALUATION CRITERIA
Before a street right-of-way vacation is approved, the applicant shall show and the Planning
Commission and City Council shall make the following determinations:
That the proposed vacation will not leave any adjoining land without access to an
established public road.,
The right-of-way is an isolated piece of land which was dedicated and accepted by the Jefferson
County Commissioners pursuant to two deeds recorded in 1955. It is unclear to Staff the reasons for
the dedication as it does not connect with any adjacent rights-of-way. Atone point many years ago,
the City of Wheat Ridge was pursuing construction of a north/south street between W. 32nd Avenue
and I-70. This corridor is no longer deemed necessary or politically feasible.
2. That the proposed vacation is in conformity with the most recently enacted goals and
policies of the Transportation Section of the current Comprehensive Plan of the City of
Wheat Ridge.
Vacation of this right-of-way will not be inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
3. That the proposed vacation will not have a negative impact on the infrastructure of
the City of Wheat Ridge.
The Department of Public Works has recommended against a street connection between W. 44h
Avenue and West 46th Avenue at this location. According to the memo from the Traffic Engineer,
potential safety and operational problems could result on 44" Avenue if Simms Street is extended.
4. That adequate easements have been reserved for use and/or maintenance by the
City or other utility agencies.
All responding agencies have indicated no objections to the vacation. Staff would recommend a
utility easement be reserved over the vacated right-of-way.
VI. STAFF CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATION
Staff concludes that there could be negative affects on 44'" Avenue if Simms Street is extended.
Since this extension is not needed for local circulation and the criteria used to evaluate the request
support it, a recommendation of Approval is given for Case No. WV-99-03 with the following
conditions:
1. The corresponding plat reflects a cross access/ingress-egress easement at this location.
2. An utility easement be reserved over the width being vacated.
4. The adjacent property be readdressed to W. 44' Avenue.
VII. RECOMMENDED MOTIONS
Option A: "I move that Case No. WV-99-03, a request for approval of a right-of-way vacation
adjacent to 4455 Simms Street, be recommended to the City Council for APPROVAL for the
following reasons:
1. There could be negative affects on 44`h Avenue if Simms Street is extended.
2. This extension is not needed for local circulation.
3. The evaluation criteria support approval."
With the following conditions:
1. The corresponding plat reflects a cross access/ingress-egress easement at this location.
2. A utility easement be reserved over the width being vacated.
3. The adjacent property be readdressed to W. 44' Avenue."
Option B: "I move that Case No., WV-99-03, a request for approval of a right-of-way vacation
adjacent to 4455 Simms Street, be recommended to the City Council for DENIAL for the following
reasons:
1.
2.
3"
P-3
I. It is consistent with the original zoning condition.
2. All minimum requirements of the R-3 zone district regulations have been met.
With the following conditions:
1. That the mature trees at the southwest comer of the property be evaluated by the city
forester to consider if the trees can be saved and, if not, that equivalent caliper inches of
those trees removed be placed throughout the development.
2. That the 6-foot privacy fence be continued on the eastern portion of the property.
3. That a letter from the ditch company be required.
4. That this case be published as a preliminary and final plat for the city council hearing.
The motion passed by a vote of 7-0.
It was moved by Commissioner THOMPSON and seconded by Commissioner SNOW to
reconsider the motion for approval of the subdivision on case No. WS 99-01 to add a condition.
The motion passed by a vote of 7-0.
It was moved by Commissioner THOMPSON and seconded by Commissioner
MACDOUGALL to add condition no. 5 which would require that no development or
redevelopment shall occur on Lots 1, 2 and 3 without site plan approval by the Planning
Commission and City Council through a public hearing process. The motion passed by a vote
of 7-0.
It was moved by Commissioner SNOW and seconded by Commissioner COLLINS that the
motion for approval of the site plan for Case No. WS 99-01 be reconsidered to add a condition.
The motion passed by a vote of 7-0.
It was moved by Commissioner SNOW and seconded by Commissioner COLLINS that the site
plan be approved for all the prior reasons and with all prior conditions with the addition of
condition no. 5 which would require that no development or redevelopment shall occur on Lots
1, 2 and 3 without site plan approval by the Planning Commission and City Council through a
public hearing process. The motion passed by a vote of 7-0.
B. Case No. WV-99-03: An application submitted by Jim Turgeon, et al, for approval of a right-
of-way vacation for an unused portion of the street right-of-way adjacent to 4455 Simms Street.
This case was presented by Meredith Reckert. She reviewed the staff report and presented
slides and overheads of the subject property. All pertinent documents were entered into the
record and accepted by Chair BRINKMAN. Ms. Reckert advised the Commission that there
was jurisdiction to hear the case. She stated that staff would recommend that an easement be
reserved over the area being vacated. Staff concluded there could be negative effects on 44th
Planning Commission Page 6

DRAFT
Avenue if Simms Street is extended. Since this extension is not needed for local circulation
and all criteria used to evaluate the request have been met, staff recommended approval.
In response to a question from Commissioner COLLINS. Ms. Reckert replied the vacated right-
of-way would revert to Mr. Fightmaster. Commissioner COLLINS felt that it was confusing to
have Mr. Turgeon apply for a street vacation on Mr. Fightmaster's property and he would,
therefore, vote against the application.
Richard Rodriguez returned to the podium. In reference to Commissioner COLLINS'
concerns, he stated that all of the property owners involved in the subdivision have signed the
application which is standard protocol in right-of-way vacations.
Commissioner MACDOUGALL asked if there is right-of-way on the east side of the subject
right-of-way. Ms. Reckert replied that it is a freestanding piece of right-of-way which does not
adjoin any other right-of-way.
It was moved by Commissioner DOYLE and seconded by Commissioner MACDOUGALL
that Case No. WV-999-03, a request for approval of right-of-way vacation adjacent to 4455
Simms Street, be recommended to the City Council for approval for the following reasons:
1. There could be negative effects on 44th Avenue if Simms Street is extended.
2. This extension is not needed for local circulation.
I The evaluation criteria support approval.
With the following conditions
1. The corresponding plat reflects a cross access/ingress-egress easement at this location.
2. A utility easement be reserved over the width being vacated.
I The adjacent property be readdressed to West 44th Avenue.
The motion passed by a vote of 5 to 2 with Commissioners SNOW and COLLINS voting no.
'00L Commissioner SNOW stated that she voted against the motion because she would prefer the
right-of-way to stay in city ownership until the rest of the land in this area is developed.
8. OLD BUSINESS
A. COMP PLAN Meetinu Commissioner SNOW moved and Commissioner THOMPSON
seconded that the Planning Commission continue the discussion of the Comprehensive Plan
following the public hearing on July 1, 1999. The motion passed by a vote of 5-2 with
Commissioner COLLINS voting no and Commissioner GOKEY abstaining.

The motion passed by a vote of 7-0.
It was moved by Commissioner THOMPSON and seconded by Commissioner SNOW to
reconsider the motion for approval of the subdivision on case No. WS 99-01 to add a condition.
The motion passed by a vote of 7-0.
It was moved by Commissioner THOMPSON and seconded by Commissioner
MACDOUGALL to add condition no. 5 which would require that no development or
redevelopment shall occur on Lots 1, 2 and 3 without site plan approval by the Planning
Commission and City Council through a public hearing process. The motion passed by a vote
of 7-0.
It was moved by Commissioner SNOW and seconded by Commissioner COLLINS that the
motion for approval of the site plan for Case No. WS 99-01 be reconsidered to add a condition.
The motion passed by a vote of 7-0.
It was moved by Commissioner SNOW and seconded by Commissioner COLLINS that the site
plan be recommended to the City Council for approval for all the prior reasons and with all
prior conditions with the addition of condition no. 5 which would require that no development
or redevelopment shall occur on Lots 1, 2 and 3 without site plan approval by the Planning
Commission and City Council through a public hearing process. The motion passed by a vote

B. Case No. WV-99-03: An application submitted by Jim Turgeon, et al, for approval of a right-
of-way vacation for an unused portion of the street right-of-way adjacent to 4455 Simms Street.
This case was presented by Meredith Reckert. She reviewed the staff report and presented
slides and overheads of the subject property. All pertinent documents were entered into the
record and accepted by Chair BRINKMAN. Ms. Reckert advised the Commission that there
was jurisdiction to hear the case. She stated that staff would recommend that an easement be

Fightmaster was aware of the utility easement on the east side of his property. Mr. Figh..nasL-r
replied that there was a utility easement along the east side of the property line to 44th Avenue.
(Chair BRINKMAN declared a brief recess at 8:50 p.m. The meeting was reconvened at
9:10 p.m.)
In response to a request from Commissioner DOYLE, Mr. Turgeon reviewed the proposed
placement of trees in the proposed project.
It was moved by Commissioner THOMPSON and seconded by Commissioner GOKEY that
Case No. WS-99-01, a request for approval of a nine-lot subdivision for property located at
11681 West 44th Avenue and 11680 West 46th Avenue, be recommended to the City Council
for approval for the following reasons:
1. It is consistent with the original zoning condition.
2. All minimum requirements of the Subdivision Regulations have been met.
3. The Public Works Department's analysis of traffic circulation in the area and the traffic
report submitted indicate that a connection between West 46th Avenue and West 44th
Avenue is not desirable.
With the following conditions:
That the mature trees at the southwest corner of the property be evaluated by the city
forester to consider if the trees can be saved and, if not, that equivalent caliper inches of
those trees removed be placed throughout the development.
That the 64bot privacy fence be continued on the eastern portion of the property.
Commissioner SNOW offered an amendment to the motion as follows: Condition No. 3 be
added which would require a letter from the ditch company; and condition no. 4 be added
which would require this case to be published as a preliminary and final plat for the City
Council hearing. This amendment was acceptable to Commissioners THOMPSON and
GOKEY.
Commissioner SNOW stated that, even though she would vote in favor of the motion, she
wanted to voice her concern that had the city not given permits for the first two buildings,
Simms on the eastern side of the property could have gone through to provide the best traffic
circulation.
The motion passed by a vote of 7-0.
Commissioner SNOW moved and Commissioner GOKEY seconded that the request for site
plan approval in conjunction with Case No. WS-99-01 for property located at 11680 West 46th
Avenue, be recommended to the City Council for approval for the following reasons:

,served over the area being vacated. Staff concluded there could be negative effects on 44th
Avenue if Simms Street is extended. Since this extension is not needed for local circulation
and all criteria used to evaluate the request have been met, staff recommended approval.
In response to a question from Commissioner COLLINS, Ms. Reckert replied the vacated right-
of-way would revert to Mr. Fightmaster. Commissioner COLLINS felt that it was confusing to
have Mr. Turgeon apply for a street vacation on Mr. Fightmaster's property and he would,
therefore, vote against the application.
Richard Rodriguez returned to the podium. In reference to Commissioner COLLINS'
concerns, he stated that all of the property owners involved in the subdivision have signed the
application which is standard protocol in right-of-way vacations.
Commissioner MACDOUGALL asked if there is right-of-way on the east side of the subject
right-of-way. Ms. Reckert replied that it is a freestanding piece of right-of-way which does not
adjoin any other right-of-way.
It was moved by Commissioner DOYLE and seconded by Commissioner MACDOUGALL
that Case No. WV-999-03, a request for approval of right-of-way vacation adjacent to 4455
Simms Street, be recommended to the City Council for approval for the following reasons:
1. There could be negative effects on 44th Avenue if Simms Street is extended.
2. This extension is not needed for local circulation.
3. The evaluation criteria support approval.
With the following conditions:
1. The corresponding plat reflects a cross access/ingress-egress easement at this location.
2. A utility easement be reserved over the width being vacated.
3. The adjacent property be readdressed to West 44th Avenue.
The motion passed by a vote of 5 to 2 with Commissioners SNOW and COLLINS voting no.
Commissioner SNOW stated that she voted against the motion because she would prefer the
right-of-way to stay in city ownership until the rest of the land in this area is developed.

I. REQUEST
The applicants request approval of a right-of-way vacation for a portion of Simms Street. This
application is being processed in conjunction with Case No. WS-99-01.
If the vacation is approved, access to Lot 2 will be by an access easement across Lot 1 (cross access
easement already shown on plat document). Because a driveway is already in place, no physical
improvement will be required.
II. AGENCY REFERRALS
All responding agencies have indicated no problems with the vacation. Staff questions whether there
are utility service lines within this area, therefore is recommending reservation of a utility easement.
Public Works does not want to see a public street connection with W. 44' Avenue at this location and
supports the vacation.
III. EVALUATION CRITERIA
Before a street right-of-way vacation is approved, the applicant shall show and the Planning
Commission and City Council shall make the following determinations:
That the proposed vacation will not leave any adjoining land without access to an
established public road.,
The right-of-way is an isolated piece of land which was dedicated and accepted by the Jefferson
County Commissioners pursuant to two deeds recorded in 1955. It is unclear to Staff the reasons for
the dedication as it does not connect with any adjacent rights-of-way. Atone point many years ago,
the City of Wheat Ridge was pursuing construction of a north/south street between W. 32"a Avenue
and I-70. This corridor is no longer deemed necessary or politically feasible.
2. That the proposed vacation is in conformity with the most recently enacted goals and
policies of the Transportation Section of the current Comprehensive Plan of the City of
Wheat Ridge.
Vacation of this right-of-way will not be inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
That the proposed vacation will not have a negative impact on the infrastructure of
the City of Wheat Ridge.
The Department of Public Works has recommended against a street connection between W. 44'
Avenue and West 46" Avenue at this location. According to the memo from the Traffic Engineer,
potential safety and operational problems could result on 44`" Avenue if Simms Street is extended.
4. That adequate easements have been reserved for use and/or maintenance by the
City or other utility agencies.
All responding agencies have indicated no objections to the vacation. Staff would recommend a
utility easement be reserved over the vacated right-of-way.
VI. STAFF CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATION
Staff concludes that there could be negative affects on 44' Avenue if Simms Street is extended.
Since this extension is not needed for local circulation and the criteria used to evaluate the request
support it, a recommendation of Approval is given for Case No. W-99-03 with the following
conditions:
1. The corresponding plat reflects a cross access/ingress-egress easement at this location.
2. An utility easement be reserved over the width being vacated.
4. The adjacent property be readdressed to W. 44`h Avenue.
VII. RECOMMENDED MOTIONS
Option A: "I move that Case No. WV-99-03, a request for approval of a right-of-way vacation
adjacent to 4455 Simms Street, be recommended to the City Council for APPROVAL for the
following reasons:
1. There could be negative affects on 44" Avenue if Simms Street is extended.
2. This extension is not needed for local circulation.
3. The evaluation criteria support approval."
With the following conditions:
1. The corresponding plat reflects a cross access/ingress-egress easement at this location.
2. A utility easement be reserved over the width being vacated.
3. The adjacent property be readdressed to W. 44°i Avenue."
Option B: "I move that Case No., WV-99-03, a request for approval of a right-of-way vacation
adjacent to 4455 Simms Street, be recommended to the City Council for DENIAL for the following

SUBJECT: Case No. MS-98-1/Turgeon-Fightmaster
Traffic Issues and Impact Analysis for 46' Avenue and Simms/Tabor Street
This memo serves as a response to your request to revisit the possibility of a Simms St. connection with
44'' Avenue. First of all, the previous traffic impact study submitted for this location is still considered
valid since it is still within a two-year time frame and the traffic conditions have not changed
significantly. Again, I concur with the findings in the study. All of the traffic projections and
methodology for analysis are done in accordance with the adopted national standards. The study shows
that the development traffic will not adversely affect the immediate intersections. In addition, the level-
of-service of these intersections is still at a good level even for the maximum condition which is the 2015
background traffic plus site traffic.
Concerning the traffic issues in your memo to Bob Goebel, Director of Public Works dated November
19,1996, I am re-submitting the comments contained in the memo I sent to you dated December 4, 1996.
Basically, the Public Works Department has the same position as previously regarding these traffic issues.
Please see me if you wish to discuss this in detail.

RE: Vicinity of West 46th Avenue and Tabor Street
The Department of Planning and Development is in the position of processing a land use case for
property located at 11600 and 11690 West 46th Avenue (Case No. MS-96-2). The applicant is
requesting approval of a six-lot major subdivision with the intention of building a series of four-
plexes. This property was zoned to R-3 in 1980 and is currently vacant.
Many concerns have been expressed from area residents regarding traffic problems in this
vicinity including, but not limited, to the following:
1. When will Tabor Street between West 44th Avenue and I-70 be widened?
2. What future improvements will occur to the intersection of West 44th Avenue
and Tabor Street?
3. What future improvements will occur to the intersection of West 46th Averiue
and Tabor Street?
4. What can be done to eliminate commercial traffic in the area ( IE, vehicles using
the south frontage road through the residential neighborhood to get to Tabor and
Miller)?
5: Both West 46th Avenue west of Swadley Street and Simms Street south of the
southern frontage road dead-end at the property referenced above. Can anything
be done to improve signage to eliminate cars driving down to the dead-end and
to the roadblocks themselves which apparently are unmaintained?
6. Will Simms Street be extended south to connect with West 46th Avenue? There
appears to be right-of-way in place although it is not full width.
The Planning Staff expects to see additional commercial and residential development in this area
which will only exacerbate existing traffic problems. This particular case (WS-96-2) is
scheduledd for public hearing in front of Planning Commission on December 5, 1996. I
anticipate a lot of discussion regarding traffic concerns. Would it be possible for an analyses to
be to done and entered as an exhibit as part of the staff report or distributed the night of the
hearing? I would appreciate your help in this matter.
MEMORANDUM
A roved Date J
TO: Meredith Reckert, Planner II
FROM: Steve Nguyen,. Traffic Engineer
DATE: December 4, 1996
SUBJECT: Vicinity of West 46th Avenue and Tabor Street
This is a response to your memo to Bob Goebel, dated November 19,1996 referencing the above matter.
Currently Tabor Street from 44th Avenue to I-70 is not in the five-year capital improvement program.
The Public Works Department has no plan to widen this street in the near future, however I would like
to offer some comments:
• The Public Works Department feels that if and when Tabor Street is reconstructed, it will be built
with a 3-lane section; two through lanes with a left turn lane. The three-lane section will be
narrowed down to a 2 lane section when it reaches the Tabor Bridge at I-70. There is no plan to
widen this bridge.
In reference to intersection improvements at 46th Avenue and Tabor, a left turn lane is anticipated
on Tabor when the widening takes place,.
• At the intersection of 44th and Tabor, a signal should only be constructed when it is warranted.
It is currently unwarranted. Left and right turn lanes are anticipated on Tabor at this intersection.
A left turn lane on 44th Avenue can be planned for if the demand volume indicates that there is
a need for it.
• The Public Works Department is working on the signage issues that you mention in your memo.
The Public Works Department is installing a dead end sign for southbound Swadley at 46th
Avenue. I am working with CDOT to come up with guidance signs so that truck traffic traveling
on the I-70 South Frontage Road between Swadley and Miller can be minimized or eliminated.
• In reference to the connection of 46th Sm r
even though there is established right-of-
way, Public works Department sees no advantage in the connection in terms of traffic circulation.
This would create a neighborhood traffic problem on Simms Street. Having a connection to 44th
Avenue might generate safety and operational problems. 44th Avenue does not have any left turn
lanes to side streets which creates the potential for rear end accidents .

Memorandum
Vicinity of W. 46th Ave and Tabor Street
Page 2
Side street traffic delay at 44th Avenue would be much greater than at 46th a4TaXrsin9_4volume at 44th Avenue is much greater. The traffic volume at Tabor and 46th is 2100'arid
vehicles per day respectively. These volumes are low compared to 44th Avenue where its volume
is about 9800 vehicles per day. The current volume at 46th and Tabor does not indicate that the
intersection is being congested. This may create more delays at Tabor and 44th , however, it is
much more desirable from an operational and safety standpoint to concentrate the movements to
an intersection which one day may be controlled by a signal. It will also eliminates "cut thru"
traffic attempting to bypass 44th and Tabor. The remaining undeveloped area in the immediate
surrounding area will probably not generate significant traffic volume to overload the intersection
of 46th and Tabor even with full build-out. As the area north of I-70 develops, we may see a
signal warrant develop at 44th and Tabor. Currently, 44th Avenue traverses across the city
connecting Golden and Denver. With this characteristic, side street connections and other access
points to 44th Avenue should be voided as much as possible to minimize the impact on 44th
Avenue.
I hope the above comments provide you some insight for planning purposes. Please see me if you need
additional information or to discuss the issue in greater detail.

Public Service Company of Colorado (PSCo) has reviewed the plans for the above
referenced project. PSCo has no apparent conflict with this proposed project.
As a safety precaution, PSCo would like to remind the developer to call the Utility
Notification Center, at 1-800-922-1987, to have all utilities located prior to
construction. If PSCo has existing gas or electric distribution facilities in this area, the
developer should contact PSCo's Engineering Department at (303) 425-3867 regarding
the use or relocation of these facilities.
Please be advised that while the easements indicated on the plans should
accommodate the majority of utilities to be installed, some additional easements may
be required as planning and building progresses.

1. The requested right of way vacation per your attached drawing

has an existing easement which must be retained for future de-
velopment of our water distribution system. I have attached a
Valley Water District easement form in reference to the area.
2. Water main lines and fire hydrants will need to be installed
at owner's expense to service area.

building structure at owner's expense.

MEMORANDUM
Approved Date
DYEPAJR LINT®P PUBLIC WORKS
TO: Meredith Reckert, Senior Planner
FROM: John McGuire P. L. S.
DATE: Thursday, May 13, 1999
SUBJECT: Right of Way Vacation for Simms Street
I have enclosed the two deeds describing the excess Right of Way for Simms Street north of 44' Avenue.
The property surrounding this piece is part of a submitted subdivision that is currently under review and the
applicant desires to vacate it. Then through platting as a new Subdivision, rededicate access and necessary Right
of Way. Also, this piece of ground is not connected to any other City Right of Way and as such is an unusable
remainder that should be vacated.
The legal description for this vacation ordinance should read as follows: The East 25 feet of the North
165 feet of Lot 13, Lee Subdivision as described in the deeds filed in Book 899 at Pages 598 and 599 of the
official records of the County of Jefferson, State of Colorado. Let me know if I can be of further assistance in
this matter.
