ROLL CALL Members Present: Tom Abbott Michelle Brown Bill Echelmeyer Bob Howard Linda Mauro Jerry Montoya Members Absent: Paul Hovland Staff Present: Alan White, Planning Director Gerald Dahl, City Attorney Ann Lazzeri, Secretary The following is the official set of Board of Adjustment minutes for the Public Hearing of May 25, 2000. A set of these minutes is retained both in the office of the City Clerk and in the Department of Planning and Development of the City of Wheat Ridge. 3. PUBLIC FORUM There was no one signed up to speak. 4. PUBLIC HEARING A. Reconsideration of Interpretation for Trailer Source - A request for reconsideration of action taken by the Board of Adjustment on March 23, 2000 (Case No. WA-00-02) regarding an application filed by Trailer source, Inc. for an interpretation of allowed uses as listed in their Planned Commercial Development (Tabor Development Planned Commercial Development Outline Development Plan.) Said property is located at 4651 Tabor Street and zoned PCD. Board of Adjustment Page 1 05/25/00 This matter was introduced by Gerald Dahl. Upon questioning by Gerald Dahl, Board Member ABBOTT, who was not present during the March 23 hearing, testified that he listened twice to the tapes of the March 23 hearing and also thoroughly reviewed the written documents presented at that hearing. He further testified that he would be able to render an impartial decision on this matter. Richard Scheurer 143 Union, Lakewood Mr. Scheurer, attorney for the applicant, was sworn in by Chair HOWARD. He requested a continuation of the reconsideration of the Board's previous interpretation. The reasons for his request included discussions with staff, city manager, and city attorney as well as members of the neighborhood. The applicant has been meeting with the neighbors to address some of their concerns especially in regard to semi traffic. There has been discussion of pulling all three lots together into one consolidated parcel and processing those as a rezoning at which time the traffic situation as well as permitted uses would be addressed. Mr. Scheurer requested a continuance for thirty days to give time for his applicant to work on the rezoning application. In response to a question from Board Member ABBOTT, Mr. Scheurer stated that the city manager was present at the neighborhood meeting in addition to several neighbors. The neighbors indicated they were unsure whether to support the rezoning or the Board of Adjustment's interpretation until it is known what is going to happen with the southern parcel of land. Board Member MONTOYA questioned whether the Board should go ahead and reconsider the interpretation at this time even if the applicant does come back at a later date for rezoning of all three parcels. Mr. Dahl explained that if a global settlement involving all three parcels of land is reached, it would include an approved list of uses and reconsideration of the interpretation would not be necessary. However, if a global settlement is not reached, a hearing on the reconsideration of the Board's interpretation would be necessary at a future date. Chair HOWARD questioned whether a thirty-day continuance would allow enough time for a rezoning application process to take place. Board Member MONTOYA suggested that it might be more appropriate to table the matter rather than grant a thirty-day continuance. Mr. Dahl and Mr. Scheurer concurred that this would be a more appropriate action. It was moved by Board Member ABBOTT and seconded by Board Member BROWN that this matter be tabled until such time as either the city or the applicant Board of Adjustment page 2 05/25/00 request reconsideration of the interpretation based on the following reasons: 1. This procedure has been advised by both the city staff and the city attorney. 2. Tabling the matter would seem to be in the best interest of all parties at this time. The motion passed by a vote of 6-0 with Board Member HOVLAND absent. 5. CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING Chair HOWARD declared the public hearing closed.. 6. OLD BUSINESS There was no old business to come before the Board. 7. NEW BUSINESS A. Approval of Minutes It was moved by Board Member BROWN and seconded by Board Member MAURO to approve the minutes of April 27, 2000. The motion carried 6-0 with Board Member HOVLAND absent. 8. ADJOURNMENT It was moved by Board Member MONTOYA and seconded by Board Member ECHELMEYER to adjourn the meeting at 8:12 p.m. The motion passed by a vote of 6-0 with Board Member HOVLAND absent.

A. 1 I. REQUEST The applicant is requesting reconsideration of an interpretation of the permitted use regulations for this Planned Commercial District. The Zoning Administrator has interpreted the regulations which apply to this PCD do not allow the sales of all terrain vehicles (ATV's) and snowmobiles. (See letter to property owner, (Exhibit A) These items are currently being sold on the property. Jet skis are also sold, but have been interpreted to be boats and allowed as a permitted use. II. CASE HISTORY The subject property was rezoned from Agriculture-One to Planned Commercial Development (PCD) in September 1995. City Council minutes, (Exhibit B), and Planning Commission minutes, (Exhibit C), for Case No. WZ-95-09 are attached. Also attached is the list of permitted uses and description of project taken directly from the recorded PCD document (Exhibit D). On January 10, 2000, City Council denied Case No. WZ-99-09 which was a request to rezone an additional 1.3 acres to the north of the subject property to PCD and to amend the permitted use regulations for the subject property. The new regulations would have superceded those approved in 1995 and would have clarified whether ATV and snowmobile sales were allowed. City Council minutes, (Exhibit E), and Planning Commission minutes, (Exhibit F), for Case No. WZ-99-09 are attached. On March 23, 2000 the Board of Adjustment conducted an interpretation hearing and on a failed motion for approval, denied the interpretation request. Minutes are attached as Exhibit G. At the subsequent Board meeting on April 27, 2000, the applicant requested and was granted a reconsideration hearing. III. CRITERIA Under Section 26-6(D)(4) of the Wheat Ridge Code of Laws, the Board of Adjustment "is empowered to hold public hearings to decide upon requests for interpretation of the provisions of the zoning ordinance in such a way to carry out the intent and purpose of such laws." This authority extends to include: 1) the interpretation of the basic intent and purpose of words, phrases or paragraphs as applied to a specific proposal or instance, and 2) to the use of property under "other similar use" provisions. The interpretation section does not provide any further guidance in making these interpretations. The decision of the Board should be based upon the intent of the original PCD zoning, evidence presented during the rezoning request, or any relevant evidence presented on the PCD documents. According to the Board bylaws, "No request to grant a rehearing can be entertained unless new evidence is submitted in writing which could not have been, with due diligence, presented at the previous hearing." No additional written evidence has been received to date. 09-a IV. STAFF CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATION The description of the project from the PCD plan indicates the property was to be used for the sale of horse, enclosed, cargo flatbed, and used trailers. Sales of motorized vehicles was limited to 15% of licensable vehicles. Permitted sales also included truck accessories, hitches, trailer repair, and hardware sales of accessories compatible to the horse industry. Special uses will be appropriate for the use proposed and uniquely restricted to the equine industry. While the project description indicates the intent to allow various uses related to the horse industry, a review of the minutes of the original rezoning request reveals little evidence that uses on the property were restricted to only horse industry related uses. If this had been the case, the list of permitted uses should not have included uses such as antiques stores, greenhouses, banks, offices, art galleries, auto parts sales, and bakeries. The list of uses permitted in the PCD was prepared by the applicant and could have included other items or merchandise for sale. Nothing else was included. There is no evidence in the record that the sale of other items or merchandise was deleted by Planning Commission or Council action. On the contrary, there is evidence in the record that the applicant intended to sell trailers and accessories compatible to the horse industry. The sale of snowmobiles and ATV's is clearly not listed as a permitted use and clearly was not contemplated at the time the PCD was prepared and approved. Sale of a limited number of pickup trucks is permitted as well as the sales of boats, campers, and travel trailers. These are the only "vehicles" listed as permitted for sale. Note that they require a trailer or are pulled by a motorized vehicle. Other than pickup trucks, the sale of any other independently powered craft is not permitted. This limitation extends to ATV's and snowmobiles. The list of permitted uses does not list the sale of any item similar to an ATV or snowmobile such that sales of these items would be allowed under the "other similar use" provisions of the PCD. The Board must consider what other items for sale are similar to ATV's and snowmobiles. There is nothing else permitted for sale on the list of permitted uses which remotely resembles ATV's or snowmobiles. The purpose of this interpretation is not to decide whether the sale of ATV's and snowmobiles is okay at this particular location, but whether the sale of this merchandise is permitted under the rules for the PCD set out by the applicant and approved by the City Council under the original approval. The decision before the Board is not for the purpose of telling the applicant how to run his business, but instead what uses can occur on the property under the zoning. At the last hearing there was testimony that the interpretation was like telling Wal-Mart what they can and cannot sell. In one respect that is true. The PCD where Wal-Mart is located does not allow the sale of automobiles, so if Wal-Mart sold automobiles, they would be in violation of the zoning restrictions on the property. During the Board's deliberation on the reconsideration request, there was information presented that the applicant would be willing to reduce the number of semis using the site and have semis unload at a satellite location. While these actions may reduce the impacts associated with the Board of Adjustment - Page 3 WA-00-02/Blumenthal A-3 business, they are not new evidence and they are not germane to the issue to be decided by the Board. The issue is not whether the applicant can mitigate impacts associated with the business, but whether the particular activity (selling ATV's and snowmobiles) is permitted on the property. The mitigation of impacts is appropriate for a zoning decision, but is not appropriate for making an interpretation of allowed uses. Staff recommends that the Board deny the request to interpret that ATV and snowmobile sales are a permitted use for the Trailer Source PCD.

Blumenthal 4651 Tabor Street Wheat Ridge, Colorado 80033 Dear Mr. Blumenthal: OF NHEA)- The City of 4 i Wheat ~ m Ridge COt O R NID At the hearing on January 10, 2000, the City Council denied the rezoning of the A-1 property and the amendment to the Tabor Development PCD. As a result of that denial, my interpretation that the list of permitted uses does not allow the sale of ATV's and snowmobiles must now be enforced. Please be advised that this letter serves as notice that this sales activity and storage of the merchandise on the property must cease. Any further sales of these items is a violation of the PCD limitations and will be pursued as a code violation. The regulations of the PCD allow you to appeal this interpretation to the Board of Adjustment. This appeal would require a hearing before the Board of Adjustment. Please contact this office concerning the requirements and procedure for requesting this interpretation. If you have any questions, please contact me. Sincerely, j~~~) r U v~ Alan C.

PUBLIC FORUM (This is the time foi anyone to speak on any subject not appearing under Item 7 of the Public Hearing section of the agenda.) Bill Sieck, 460i Tabor Street, had signed the roster, but stated he didn't wish to speak at that time. 7. PUBLIC HEARING 1. Case No. WZ-95-9: An application by Trailer Source, Inc. for Janes K. Clausen for approval of a rezoning from Agricultural-One to Planned Commercial Development and for approval of an outline development plan and a final davelopment plan and plat. Said property is located at 4651 Tabor Street. Mr. Gidley presented the staff report, which included slides. Entered and accepted into the record were the Comprehensive Plan, Zoning Ordinance, Subdivision Regulations, case file, slides and exhibits. Commissioner LANGDON verified that Planri.ig Commission could only make recommendations to City Council regarding variances. Mr. Gidley confirmed that was so. Commissioner RASPLICKA asked if the accel/decel lane was required, would Staff still encourage limiting uses? Mr. Gidley answered ye*,, mainly because the proposed development is directly across the street from existing residential. X ISIT C Planning Commission Minutes Page 3 Angust 3, 1995 J R Alumenthal, 5395 Easley Road, Golden, was sworn in. He prow.- d some background information regarding Trailer Source, Inc., explaining the type of business being proposed. Mr. Blumenthal expressed his preference to leave the entrance to the site as is. He doubted the need for installation of an additional fire hydrant. Mr. Gidley stated that the fire hydrant dispute must be settled witt• the Arvada Fire District. Chairnerson ECKHARDT asked Mr. Gidley if Commission needed to be involved in the sight distance/accel/decel matter, or if Staff could work that ou_. Mr. Gidley stated that engineering details were not available and without that information, Commission should not make a decision on that matter. It may or may not be a requirement. The applicant could ask City Council to waive the requirement, should Planning Staff require it. ChairpersonEC'0:9ARDT reminded Commission that the request for rezoning was the matter under consideration. Commissioner WILLIAMS asked Mr. Blumenthal if he had a problem with the 35-foot height limitation. Mr. Blumenthal answered no, and stated the proposed structure would be less than 35 feet high. Commissioner RASPLICKA asked if painting would be done on site. Mr. Blumenthal answered that only spray can type painting would be done. Kim Stewart, 11700 West 46th Avenue was sworn in. Ms. Stewart was concerned that the orcposed change of zoning would be permanent. She added that she wanted protection for the residential area. Ms. Stewart felt that Tabor Street was not safe currently and that the proposed development would increase the risks. She elaborated. She was hopeful that the neighborhood would be considered when, the outdoor lighting was designed. Ms. Stewart requested that Tabor Street not be widened, that no center turn lane be installed xnd that a sidewalk be installed along Tabor Street. Commissioner LANGDON reminded Ms. Stewart that Tabor Street is a collector street, normally 60 feet in width. He asked what protection she wanted for the neighborhood. 11 44-5 Planning Commission Minutes Page 4 August 3, 1995 Ms. Steq ~ noted that children are at risk because there is he sidewalk along Tabor, cars travel at high rates of speed without any stop lights for control. Commissioner LANGDON suggested getting the Police Department involved, since speeding is a violation of the law. He elaborated. Ms. Stewart stated that if businesses continue to come into the area, then sidewalks should be provided to protect pedestrians. Commissioner LANGDON asked if the installation of sidewalk would alleviate her safety concerns. Ms. Stewart stated it would help. Commissioner RASPLICKA asked what was the posted speed limit on Tabor Street. Ms. Stewart answered 25 miles per hour. The speed limited posted on Tabor Street is 35 miles per hour. Commissioner WILLIAMS asked what business would Ms. Stewart choose to occupy the subject site. Ms. Stewart stated she would prefer the horses remain. She elaborated. Ms. Stewart stated she had some confusion over the requested zoning change and would like it explained. Commissioner WILLIAMS asked if the restriction of auto repair shops and hardware stores would lessen her concern. Ms. Stewart stated that it would. However, she stated that those restrictions would not be permanent. Mr. Gidley stated that the restrictions would be permanent. Chairperson ECKHARDT explained that the property is presently zoned A-1. The Fruitdale Master Plan does indicate that business(s) occupy the area west of Tabor Street. He asked Mr. Gidley to further explain to Ms. Stewart the difference between the land use designation "office" versus "business" in the Fruitdale Master Plan. Mr. Gidley explained. Sill Sieck, 4601 Tabor Street, was sworn in. (Mr. Sieck had signed the Public Forum roster.) Mr. Sieck stated he was in favor of the proposed rezoning. He elaborated. He felt the height restriction was unnecessary. Mr. Sieck stated he approved 144-t Planning Commission Minutes Page 5 August 3, 1995 of the proposed landscape plan and how they planned to handle the ditch problem. He thought a three-way stop sign would alleviate many of the traffic hazards/problems. .T-mes Clausen, 2940 Ward Court, was sworn in. Mr. Clausen identified himself as the property owner. He gave a brief history of the property and stated the conLiguration of the property made it difficult to develop. Mr. Clausen gave reasons why the proposed development would work well at that location. Mr. Clausen was opposed to the 25% landscape requirement. He urged Planning Commission approve the requested rezoning. Commissioner WILLIAMS asked if the applicant hadn't agreed to landscape 32% of the site? Mr. Clausen stated he was unaware of what the applicant had agreed to. Mr. Gidley stated the applicant had agreed to 29.3% landscaping. Mr. Clause felt it unrealistic to require that much landscaping, since some much of the property is unusable due to the ditch running through it.. Rita Bader, 4675 Swadley Street, was sworn in. Ms. Bader stated she lived directly east of the subject site. She had some concern that traffic exiting the site (vehicles with trailers) could prohibit access to the area by the Fire Department. Ms. Bader spoke of wheelchair accessible sidewalks in the area that go nowhere. She had some concern that Tabor Street would be widened. Chairperson ECKHARDT stated that to his knowledge, there were no current plans to widen Tabor Street and that was not under consideration that night. Mi. Gidl.ey stated that the City can require the developer to bring the street in front of his business to the full standard. He elaborated. No such plans exist to his knowledge in the next five years. At some point in time, Tabor Street will be developed to a collector standard, with curb, gutter and sidewalk. Ms. Bader asked about utilities for the proposed development. Mr. Gidley stated Valley Water would provide water service to the property; Fruitdale Sanitation District would provide sanitation service. Tex unker, 4615 swadley Street, wus sworn in. Mr. Junker stated of the previously proposed plans, he felt this was the best. Planning Commission Minutes Page 6 August 3, 1995 However, he would like to see a three-way stop sign installed due to the heavy truck traffic. He told about the numerous incidents of damage inflicted to his fence and a fire hydrant by the trucks. Commissioner LANGDON asked if he was referring to semi-trucks? He believed that send-trucks were not allowed in the neighborhood. Mr. Gidley verified that the semi-trucks were not allowed. He suggested signs be posted prohibiting truck traffic. Ann Keller, 4625 Swadley Street, was sworn in. Ms. Keller acknowledged that the land would be developed, however, she preferred that the developer provide additional landscaping and that any structure(s) be limited to two stories. Commissioner OWENS asked if the 32% landscaping included that indicated on the site plan? Mr. Gidley stated the percentage was 29%. He indicated on the site plan where the landscaping would be located. Commissioner OWENS asked what was the normal requirement? Mr. Gidley stated that the landscaping requirement is negotiated and Staff can require what they feel is appropriate. The absolute minimum is 10% for a straight C-1 zone district.. Normally, when a Planned Development is reviewed, more than the minimum is required. He added that the neighborhood fought hard to insure the neighborhood was protected by the Fruitdale Master Plan. Commissioner OWENS stated that the property belonging to the state would be incorporated into the landscaped area. Mr.-Gidley stated it appeared that they would have plenty of landscaping. Jim Blum2n*_hal, 9168 West 101st Avenue, Westminster, was sworn in. Mr. Blumenthal r.weed that currently there is 420 feet of sight distance required, where 450 feet now exists and therefore, he thought a accel/decel lane or street widening would not be necessary. Mr. Blumenthal felt that installation of a stop sign and/or lowering the speed limit could be useful in slowing traffic in the area. The 35-foot height restriction posed no problem, he added. Mr. Blumenthal stated that he was prepared to follow all City requirements regarding barriers, sidewalk or lighting. He explained the type of work that would be performed on site. He elaborated. :916 Page 7 Planning Commission Minutes August 3, 1995 Chairperson ECKHARDT briefly summarized the case before Planning Commission.

Motion by Mr. DiTullio to deny Council Bill 37 for the following reasons: 1. The proposed expanded sales and uses exceed the scope of the original Planned Development approval, which was primarily intended to be horse-related and portrayed as producing limited traffic. 2. The proposed amended development will require the expanded use of semi-trailers which expanded use is not compatible with the adjacent residential and agricultural uses: CITY COUNCIL MINUTES: JANUARY 10, 2000 Page-4- 3. Adequate evidence has been presented that the traffic and parking generated from the proposed expanded planned development would impede smooth traffic flow on Tabor and impose safety hazards. 4. The addition of retail sales of snowmobiles and all-terrain vehicles and the traffic expected from those uses is projected to compound traffic and parking problems which will adversely affect surrounding areas and traffic safety. 5. The expansion of this planned development district and associated uses are denied based upon evidence deemed persuasive and adequately appearing in the record of the public hearing before the Planning Commission and City Council that such expansion and denied uses as proposed would create excessive traffic, noise, and that such uses would result in a density or intensity of use which would be damaging or deleterious to the stability, unified operation or integrity (both economic and aesthetic) of the surrounding area. 6.

This case was presented by Martin Omer. He reviewed the staff report and presented overheads and slides of the subject property. All pertinent documents were entered into the record and Mr. Omer advised that there was jurisdiction to hear the case. Staff recommended approval of the application with certain conditions as outlined in the staff report. Commissioner SNOW asked for clarification about landscaping. Mr. Omer replied that there is presently 25% landscaping as approved in 1995. The applicant is proposing to landscape 20% of the combined overall site. In response to a question from Commissioner SNOW, Mr. Omer replied that snowmobiles and all terrain vehicles (ATV's) are classified as personal recreational vehicles. Small water craft (such as jet skis and wave runners) are classified as boats. Commissioner THOMPSON expressed concern that Tabor Street was not constructed to accommodate semi-trailer trucks. Also, she wanted consideration given to the fact that semi drivers ignore "no parking" and "no truck traffic" signs. She felt that if semi's are allowed to deliver onto the property, the access drive needs to be made adequate and have adequate sight triangles, and that semi's must be able to park on the property and not outside of it. She expressed concern that this property not develop into RV sales or industrial use. Commissioner MACDOUGALL expressed concern about the noise factor associated with test driving of ATV's. Commissioner DOYLE inquired about screening of rental vehicles from adjacent properties. Mr. Omer stated that it was his understanding that the applicant has agreed to screen rental equipment areas from Tabor Street. (Vice Chair GOKEY announced a brief recess at 8:50 p.m. The meeting was reconvened at 9:10 p.m.) Glen Gidley 8684 West Warren Drive, Lakewood Mr. Gidley, representing the applicant, was swom in by Vice Chair GOKEY. He stated that because businesses have to respond to the market, the applicant took advantage of the opportunity to obtain an Artic Cat franchise a year after they opened business. The franchise includes ATV's, snowmobiles and jet skis. They have been operating this component of business for two years and, according to owner's records, the majority of ATV's and Planning Commission Page 2 September 16, 1999 EXHIBIT F A-3 Z snowmobiles are used by ranchers. The predominant testing of ATVs occurs after the% are assembled on-site. All but three or four display ATV's are stored inside. He believed that ATV's and snowmobiles fall under the classification of "other similar uses" and could find nothing in writing that states these are not permitted uses. Mr. Gidley reviewed the site plan and stated that the applicant purchased the subject triangle of land primarily to take care of problems associated with delivery. He noted that, while the code requires 10% landscaping, the plan provides 20%; the frontage on Tabor exceeds minimum requirements for street trees; and the I-70 frontage road is a state highway and street tree requirements should not apply (the applicant wants visibility from I-70). In regard to neighborhood concerns, Mr. Gidley stated that the applicant plans to place a sign on the property to prohibit delivery trucks from parking there and, if drivers park there anyway, the neighbors can call the police and drivers will be ticketed. He noted that the plan configuration will allow trucks to turn around on the site and that the owners have also purchased their own semi-truck to pick up products and deliver them to their site in order to decrease delivery trips by other trucks. He stated that the owner makes one order a year for ATV's, snowmobiles and jet skis which results in one delivery per year. He stated that trees were removed along the irrigation ditch at the request of the ditch company. In regard to neighborhood comment that 30 trailers were allowed and now there are 200, he stated that the applicant has always had over 200 trailers in inventory. In regard to detention area concerns, parking on a regular basis will not be allowed and customer parking will take place on hard surfaces. In regard to concerns about semi's, Mr. Gidley stated that the area north of I-70 is an industrial area with three access points, one of which is Tabor Street. His client's business didn't bring the semi's to this area. He stated that the applicant averages two semi deliveries per week. He included the prohibition of semi trucks and trailer parking from adjacent commercial zone districts to ensure that the truck stop will not be allowed to expand onto this site and that, even if the applicant sold his property to the truck stop, the truck stop could not use the land to park trucks. In conclusion, he stated that the business generates a substantial amount of revenue for the city and asked for approval of the application. Jim Blumenthal 7048 Torrey, Arvada Mr. Blumenthal, President of Trailer Source, was swom in by Vice Chair GOKEY. In regvrl to concerns about weeds on his property, he explained that he usually sprays them three times a year, but this year he was waiting until the subject parcel was approved so that he could spray the entire area at one time. In response to a question from Commissioner COLLINS, Mr. Blumenthal said he would be willing to move the driveway gate further down the driveway, but felt that this could encourage trucks to park there for the weekend. Mr. Blumenthal stated that parking has not been allowed in the detention area since neighbors complained. He stated that there have been 13 semi-truck Planning Commission Page 3 September 16, 1999 t4~ -33 deliveries over the past 90 days and that his plan would allow for semi's to turn around on the property before exiting onto Tabor Street. In regard to a question from Commissioner DOYLE. Mr. Blumenthal stated that US West placed a silt fence on the property. Commissioner SNOW wanted assurance that flatbed trailers used by the applicant to haul snowmobiles not be interpreted to mean flatbed trailers for semi-trucks. Commissioner SNOT also expressed concern that the language was not specific enough to prevent semi's from waiting to load or unload at adjacent businesses. Mr. Gidley stated that he would reword the plan to make sure that this concern is addressed. Mr. Gidley assured the Commission that his client has no intention of selling RV's or motor homes. Commissioner SNOW asked about storage of ATV's. Mr. Gidley explained that they have approximately ten assembled ATV's and the others are stored in crates until such time as they need to be assembled. Commissioner THOMPSON expressed concern about the owner's semi-truck and asked if the truck could be listed as a special use to preclude future owners from having several semi's on the property. Mr. Gidley replied that he would include that requirement in the development plan. In response to a question from Commissioner THOMPSON, Mr. Gidley explained that the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) dictated the width of the applicant's driveway. Commissioner MACDOUGALL asked if the pond located west of the building would be filled in when the area is re-graded. Mr. Blumenthal replied that this low area is actually for the collection of oil from a floor drain and was required by Fruitdale Sanitation District to keep oil from draining into nearby ditches. Commissioner MACDOUGALL also requested the applicant to cut the weeds south of the main building. Commissioner SNOW asked if there was adequate room for the largest semi to turn around on the property. Mr. Blumenthal replied there was adequate room for the longest single trailer which is approximately 53 feet in length. In regard to concerns about double trailers making deliveries onto the property, he stated that it would simply not be feasible for double trailers to make deliveries to the property. In response to a question from Commissioner GOKEY, Mr. Blumenthal stated that no existing landscaping will be removed and that additional landscaping will be added to the new piece of property. Mr. Blumenthal commented that it is hard to control semi's parking because drivers change frequently, etc. and companies will sometimes send one order on three partial loads. In order to address that problem, he stated that his company has a contract with his personal water craft supplier which will allow him to send his own semi to pick up their entire order at one time. Planning Commission Page 4 September 16, 1999 f/_.3 ~ Commissioner THOMPSON requested that hours of test driving be spelled out and that the plan be rewritten to ensure that future owners cannot use this area for an ATV track. Vice Chair GOKEY asked to receive public comment. Mr. White reminded the Commission that there is another application on the agenda and Commission bylaws state that no public hearing shall be started after 11:00 p.m., except upon a majority vote of the Commission. It was moved by Commissioner THOMPSON and seconded by Commissioner SNOW that the rules be suspended to continue the meeting in order to hear the second case on the agenda after 11:00 p.m. The motion passed by a vote of 6-0 with Commissioner BRINKMAN absent. Kim Stewart 1700 West 46th Avenue Ms. Stewart was sworn in by Vice Chair GOKEY. She stated that the neighborhood's quality of life has been affected by the increased traffic and the ingress/egress from the property since the inception of this business. In 1995 the applicant said they would have a minimal impact on the neighborhood because few people could afford the high-end customized horse trailers. She expressed concern about ftie protection access to her neighborhood and noted that in addition to semi's, Trailer Source customers also park in traffic lanes on Tabor. She didn't believe the plan would alleviate the semi-truck problems. Ms. Stewart stated that things had changed since the neighborhood meeting until this hearing. She felt that personal recreational craft were out of compliance with the zoning and did not fit in with horse related equipment (a limitation that was previously negotiated.) She also stated that the 7000 pound empty weight limitation for vehicles using Tabor is violated all the time and that the police department doesn't respond to complaints concerning this matter. She stated that the neighborhood does not want future owners of this land to have the ability to sell cars and RV's. Ms. Stewart requested that the plan not be approved until a total site plan is submitted to include the property immediately to the south of Trailer Source and that Trailer Source demonstrate the ability to conform to the current zoning for at least 3-6 months before being: allowed to have any additional considerations. She further requested that Trailer Source not be allowed to sell personal water craft, ATV's or any other motorized vehicles not allowed under present zoning and that the sale of boats be removed as sales items. She asked that there be no zoning change that would allow any type of floral sales, wholesale or otherwise; that Trailer Source be held accountable for the endangerment of traffic on Tabor as their customers and providers continue to park there during heavy use times; and that Trailer Source not be allowed to utilize the property to the south as a parking lot until such time as the zoning is changed. She stated that the proposed plan will increase traffic and traffic hazards and will not alleviate the Planning Commission Page 5 September 16, 1999 problem of semi's or other vehicles getting in and out of Trailer Source or being there before or after the business is open. She stated that the company has not honored current zoning and citizen questions about these violations which have not been addressed until the present time. She felt the matter appears weighted in favor of the business. Commissioner THOMPSON asked if there was anvthing that would prevent a future owner from turning this property into car dealership. Mr. White replied that this could not occur unless the plan is amended to allow car sales. In response to a question from Commissioner THOMPSON, Mr. White replied that camper trailers and boat sales were allowed in 1995. Commissioner SNOW asked Ms. Stewart what she felt could go in this area without having an impact on the neighborhood. Ms. Stewart replied that the neighborhood is asking for an over- all honest plan rather than doing it piecemeal.; and that they feel semi-trucks are dangerous on Tabor Street. Ed Moreno 4655 Swadley Street Mr. Moreno was sworn in by Vice Chair GOKEY. He stated that his biggest concern in 1995 was that semi's would not be able to adequately turn in and out of the property and this has proved to be true. He stated that it is very dangerous for semi's to park on Tabor. He requested that the city install sidewalks for the school children in this area. He also expressed concern about glare from additional advertising signs. He asked the Commission to deny this request because it will increase existing traffic problems. Rita Bader 4675 Swadley Street Ms. Bader was sworn in by Vice Chair GOKEY. She expressed concern about drainage and noted that the neighborhood has experienced flooding for the first time in thirty years. She was not sure if the flooding was related to Trailer Source. She expressed concern about fire safety and illuminated signs. She wanted to know the plans for the property to the south. Ann Keller had signed up to speak, but stated that Kim Stewart addressed her concerns. Vice Chair GOKEY asked if there were others present who wished to address this matter. Hearing no response, Glen Gidley returned to the podium for rebuttal. Regarding horse-related business, the applicant is continuing to do that; however, the additional uses such as selling. ATV's are permitted under Wheat Ridge ordinance. He commented that there will probably be a rezoning request for the property to the south at some time in the future, but the applicant doesn't have a plan for that land right now. He stated that the applicant is not parking Trailer Source vehicles on that property now. He agreed that the city should install sidewalks on Tabor Street. He stated the applicant is attempting to mitigate the delivery problems by acquiring his own semi which should decrease deliveries by one-third. He further noted that, although there has been discussion about major traffic problems, there have been no accidents since this business opened in 1996. Planning Commission Page 6 September 16, 1999 '196 Commissioner COLLINS asked if any Trailer Source employees are parking on the south lot. Mr. Blumenthal said that 2-3 employees park in that area, but he would agree to disallow that if it is the Commission's wish. Commissioner COLLINS expressed concern about selling jet skis, etc. since they are not horse related. Mr. Blumenthal stated that the horse business has changed and sales are down and he is simply accommodating the changes in his business. He also stated that he does not anticipate ever expanding onto the property next door. Commissioner THOMPSON asked if the applicant would be willing to build a non-illuminated monument sign on Tabor Street rather than a 25-foot high sign as allowed under the code. Mr. Blumenthal agreed to this request. Commissioner DOYLE asked how much of the business is related to water craft. Mr. Blumenthal replied that this year he ordered for 65 snowmobiles, 70 ATV's and 15 water craft. Commissioner DOYLE asked if he would consider eliminating the water craft. Mr.. Blumenthal explained that taking on the line of Artic Cat involves the entire line which includes generators, ATV's, snowmobiles and water craft. It was moved by Commissioner COLLINS and seconded by Commissioner SNOW that the hearing be continued until a new plan is formulated to move the gate back 60 feet to take some traffic off of Tabor and allow for some designated parking areas. Commissioner SNOW stated that if the motion fails, she would make a motion to deny the application. The applicant asked for a continuance to a date specific. In response to a question from Commissioner THOMPSON, Mr. White stated that if this request is denied, the applicant's next step would be to appeal to the City Council. Commissioner SNOW withdrew her second. Therefore, Commissioner COLLINS' motion died for lack of a second. It was moved by Commissioner SNOW and seconded by Commissioner COLLINS that Case No. WZ-99-09, a request for approval to rezone 1.3 acres from A-1 Agricultural to PCD, Planned Commercial Development be recommended to the City Council for DENIAL for the following reasons: 1. The proposed expanded sales and uses do not meet the intended use of the original development which was primarily to be horse-related and portrayed as producing limited traffic. 2. This business needs the use of semi-trailers which are not compatible with the adjacent residential and agricultural uses. Planning Commission Page 7 September 16, 1999 3. Adequate evidence has been presented that the traffic and parking generated from this business impedes smooth traffic flow on Tabor and imposes safety hazards. 4. The addition of retail sales of snowmobiles, all-terrain vehicles, and water craft and the traffic expected from those uses is projected to compound the traffic and parking problems already caused by this business. Commissioner GOKEY commented that traffic reports have not indicated a traffic hazard. there have been no accidents in the area, and the Police Department has indicated no objections. Commissioner SNOW responded that she takes testimony from the neighbors as evidence of traffic problems. Commissioner THOMPSON stated that, while she understands the neighbor's concerns as well as the applicant's concerns, she felt that if the application is denied and proceeds to Council there would be no way for the Commission's concerns to be presented and she would therefore vote against the motion for denial. Commissioner SNOW stated that, although she felt the applicant has done his best to fit in with the neighborhood, this is a situation that cannot be remedied to make it compatible with the neighborhood. The motion failed by a vote of 2 to 4 with Commissioners THOMPSON, DOYLE, GOKEY and MACDOUGALL voting no and Commissioner BRINKMAN absent. It was moved by Commissioner THOMPSON and seconded by Commissioner MACDOUGALL that Case No. WZ-99-09, a request for approval to rezone 1.3 acres from A-1, Agricultural to PCD, Planned Commercial Development be recommended to the City Council for APPROVAL for the following reasons: 1. Due to location and access characteristics, the subject property could not reasonably be used for or by any other user than the applicant. 2. The uses proposed for the property are similar to uses permitted in other commercially zoned districts of the City's zoning regulations. 3. Rezoning the property to Planned Commercial Development for the uses proposed is consistent with the City's existing Comprehensive Plan. Subject to the following conditions: 1. The property owner shall provide details of the proposed Tabor Street sign prior to City Council.

The list of permitted uses shall be changed to include No. 37 which would exclude the sale of automobiles on this property; and No. 38 which would exclude the sale of RV/motor homes. A correction shall be made to the permitted uses under N^. 14 that it would read: "Parking of automobiles of clients, patients and patrons or occupants of adjacent commercial districts, except no parking of semi-trucks or trailers except while actively loading or unloading." Commissioner COLLINS offered an amendment to exclude Item No. 35 from the list of permitted uses. This amendment was accepted by Commissioners THOMPSON and MACDOUGALL. Planning Commission Page 9 September 16, 1999 X-3 9 Commissioner SNOW moved and Commissioner COLLINS seconded to delete Item 7, and that snowmobiles, all-terrain vehicles and watercraft are specifically excluded. The motion failed by a vote of 3 to 3 with Commissioners GOKEY, THOMPSON, and DOYLE voting no and Commissioner BRINKMAN absent. A vote was taken on Commissioner THOMPSON's motion. The motion passed by a vote of 4-2 with Commissioners SNOW and COLLINS voting no.

Planning Commission Page 12 September 16, 1999 X-yz- For the following reasons: 1. The Board finds that based on the evidence presented and based on the Board's conclusions relative to the five specific questions to justify the temporary use permit, the evidence and facts in this case do support the granting of this request. With the following conditions: 1. The Temporary Use Permit is not to exceed one year or until the property is sold. 2. The area for displaying the U-Haul vehicles would not hold more than eight (8) vehicles, including trucks and trailers; and the portion for viewing will be limited to approximately sixty (60) feet heading east from Street A and approximately forty (40) feet heading south from Street B, creating an approximate triangle in that area. 3. Four to six inches of gravel will be placed in the U-Haul display area and the gravel will extend to the curb. The motion failed by a vote of 3-3 with Board Members MONTOYA, HOWARD and ECHELMEYER voting opposed, and Board Member ABBOTT absent. B. Case No. WA-00-02: (continued from February 24, 2000) An application filed by Trailer Source, Inc. for an interpretation of allowed uses as listed in their Planned Commercial Development (Tabor Development Planned Commercial Development Outline Development Plan.) Said property is located at 4651 Tabor Street and zoned PCD. This case was presented by Alan White. He reviewed the staff report, presented slides and overheads of the subject property and entered all pertinent documents into the record which were accepted by Chair HOWARD. He advised that all notification and posting requirements had been met and there was jurisdiction for the Board to hear the case. Staff recommended denial of the application for reasons outlined in the staff report. He entered a letter dated March 14, 2000 from Kenneth G. Brengle, Jr., President of the West Chamber indicating his support for the applicant's request. The letter was made a part of the case file. Board Member BROWN asked the staff s reason for the opinion that the sale of all-terrain vehicles (ATV's) and snowmobiles should not be allowed. Mr. White explained staff s interpretation is that there is nothing similar to ATV's or snowmobiles in the list of permitted uses for this development. Mr. White requested that staff be given the opportunity for a closing statement before a motion is considered. Board of Adjustment _ 03/23/00 EXHIBIT G 41y3 Dick Scheurer 143 Union Boulevard, Suite 625, Lakewood Mr. Scheurer stated there is ample evidence to support the finding that sales of ATV's and snowmobiles are in the scope of the Planned Development (unde the similar use provision) approved by Council in 1995 under the similar use provision. James R. Blumenthal 5395 Easley Road, Golden Mr. Blumenthal was sworn in by Chair HOWARD. He presented slides and a history of his business which was started primarily for sales of horse trailers. Because there was a demand for ATV's, these were added to the inventory line in 1997. The reason for selling the snowmobiles and jet skis is that, in order to carry the Articat brand of ATV's, the Articat dealership requires three lines to be carried (ATV's, snowmobiles and jet skis.) He pointed out sales tax payments to the city have increased from approximately $4,000 in 1997 to approximately $40,000 in 1999. He stated that when the additional 1.3 acres was added to the property and taken to City Council, the City Council voted against the sale of ATV's and snowmobiles and ordered the city to take action against Trailer Source. He commented that these types of sales have taken place since 1997 and the city never indicated they couldn't do so until the matter went before City Council. He stated that customers are allowed to drive an ATV around the property; however testing facilities are located off-site. Since marketing changes are inevitable, he thought it was cumbersome to come before the city every time a new item is marketed. He asked the Board of Adjustment to overturn the previous direction and allow the sale of ATV's and snowmobiles which use is compatible in character and impact with other allowed uses. Board Member HOVLAND expressed concern that sales could be expanded to include dirt bikes or other vehicles that don't require licenses. Mr. Blumenthal responded that they have turned away similar products such as motorized bicycles. Board Member MONTOYA asked if Trailer Source sold pickup trucks. Mr. Blumenthal stated that, under the original PCD, they are allowed to sell pickup trucks but are limited to fifteen at any one time. Dick Scheurer returned to the podium. He presented a list of uses allowed in the Planned Commercial Development and stated his opinion that ATV's and snowmobiles are compatible in character and impact with those uses. He commented that these uses are not listed in the appropriate zone district; however, many products were not around at the time the zoning ordinance was written. He stated it should not be necessary to rezone every time a new product comes on the market. He had prepared an analysis of impacts listed in the PCD as they relate to the sale of ATV's and snowmobiles and submitted copies of the analysis to the Board members. This analysis was made a part of the case file. He stated that the Blumenthal's have a record of cooperation with the City and there were no letters of warnings or summonses issued which indicated the sale of ATV's and snowmobiles were not legal until the matter went to City Council. He stated there is case law that says when an Board of Adjustment Page 7 03/23/00 14,0 interpretation is required due to ambiguous language, the interpretation should favor the land owner and not add more restrictions over what a landowner may do with his property. He referred to the letter from Mr. Brengle of the West Chamber (earlier entered into the record by Alan White) which expressed concern about business owners operating in a planned development having to come before City Council each time they want to add a product line. He also entered into the record a letter from Sergeant Jay Gray of the Wheat Ridge Police Department which indicated traffic at the subject site has not been a problem as well as a letter Rosanna Colson and Ed Volleberg who indicated their support of the application. These letters were made part of the case file. In regard to Mr. White's request for rebuttal, he stated he had no objection to Mr. White giving rebuttal. However, he did voice concern to the Board about counsel giving rebuttal because he was not sure if Mr. Dahl represented the Board or Mr. White. James Blumenthal returned to the podium. He stated that it was his intent to be a good neighbor and not to do anything wrong. He stated that he felt he has been held unjustly at bay by others and asked the Board to rule in his favor. Kim Stewart . 11700 West 46th Avenue Ms. Stewart was sworn in by Chair HOWARD. Ms. Stewart expressed her opposition to the sale of ATV's and snowmobiles because she felt that each new product added increased traffic impact on the neighborhood. She stated that she had contacted the police department over the past years when she observed situations such as unattended semi's parked in the northbound lane of Tabor Street. She also stated that she has contacted staff regarding problems at Trailer Source. She asked the Board to consider that a loose interpretation in this case would open the door for other situations which would have negative impacts on neighborhoods. Gerald Dahl, city attorney, stated that he planned to address the Board on behalf of the staff and planning director who interpreted the ordinance to say snowmobiles and ATV's are not permitted on the PCD. He stated he was not representing the Board of Adjustment. Mr. Scheurer indicated he had no objection to Mr. Dahl speaking on behalf of the staff. Mr. Dahl submitted copies of two documents entitled "Findings and Decision" and "Memorandum of Points and Authorities: Administrative Official Charged with Enforcement of a Statute or Ordinance" to the Board. These documents were entered into the record and made a part of the case file. He stated these two documents uphold the authority of the planning director's decision in this case. He stated that case law gives deference to the decision of the planning administrator in cases of ambiguous language. He stated the fact that Trailer source pays taxes to the City of Wheat Ridge, has been a good corporate citizen and that no city violations had been issued has no bearing on the Page 03/23/00 interpretation nor does the fact that Mr. Blumenthal chose not to sell dirt bikes. Further, the similar use language does not refer to the idea of marketing driving the business and having to come back whenever there is a new product line. He referred to Kim Stewart's testimony that additional traffic generated by these product lines will cause a negative impact to the neighborhood. He stated that the property was established as a PCD in 1995. Snowmobiles and ATV's were in existence at that time but were not included in the list of uses in the PCD. He reminded the Board that this is not general commercial retail, but a PCD with a list of uses which needs to be adhered to. He urged the body to adopt these findings by resolution. Dick Scheurer returned to the podium for rebuttal. He stated that the Board's instruction was to decide if ATV and snowmobile sales is a similar use in terms of character and impact with other uses in the PCD. He stated that evidence shows that ATV's and snowmobiles have a very close relationship and originated out of the equine uses. He stated that the record is devoid of any information to form a basis for a finding that ATV's and snowmobiles are more objectionable than other uses in the PCD. He asked the Board to make a common sense decision in favor of the applicant. Upon a motion by Board Member HOVLAND and second by Board Member BROWN, the following resolution was stated: WHEREAS, the applicant was denied permission by an administrative officer; and WHEREAS, Board of Adjustment Application Case No. WA-00-02 is an appeal to this Board from the decision of an administrative officer; and WHEREAS, the property was originally posted the fifteen days required by law, and in recognition of protest registered against it; and WHEREAS, the question for Interpretation is the interpretation of the permitted use regulations in a Planned Commercial Development; and WHEREAS, a motion was made to find that sales of all-terrain vehicles (ATV's) and snowmobiles should be an approved use of Planned Commercial Development; and WHEREAS, the vote on the motion was: YES: BROWN, ECHELMEYER, HOVLAND, MAURO NO: HOWARD, MONTOYA ABSENT: ABBOTT, and WHEREAS, Wheat Ridge Code of Laws Section 2-53(d) requires that when six members of the Board are present, five affirmative votes are required to grant any interpretation. Board of Adjustment 03/23/00 A,q~ NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED: 1. DISPOSITION: A request for interpretation of permitted use regulations in a Planned Commercial Development to allow sales of all terrain vehicles (ATV's) and snowmobiles as an approved use is denied, based on Chapter 2, Article 3, Sections 2- 53(d) and 2-61(d) of the City of Wheat Ridge Code of Laws, which require that Board of Adjustment motions not carried by the specified number of votes are thereby deemed denied and further require that in that event a resolution denying such appeal shall be formally entered upon the record. 2. Board of Adjustment Application Case No. WA-00-02 is hereby denied. Board Member ECHELMEYER stated that he would be in favor of the application if the semi traffic could be controlled. Board Member HOVLAND stated that, while he shared a concern about traffic, there were other items in the list of permitted uses that could generate at least as much traffic. He stated that the Board's purpose was not to regulate the site but to determine if this is an intended similar use. In response to a question from Board Member MAURO, Mr. White explained that the interpretation would only apply to the subject planned development and would not affect other planned developments within the city. Board Member HOVLAND asked if the interpretation could include traffic restrictions. Mr. Dahl cited Section 2-61-D(3) of the city code which says the Board has the authority to affirm, reverse or modify. Because a super majority vote is required, the motion failed by a vote of 4 to 2 with Board Members HOWARD and MONTOYA voting no. Dick Scheurer referred to a code provision which requires a simple majority in case of interpretations as opposed to a super majority. Gerald Dahl informed Mr. Scheuerer that the code had been amended within the last year to provide for a super majority vote in all cases considered by the Board of Adjustment including cases of interpretation. Chair HOWARD informed the applicant that the zoning administrator's interpretation will stand. (Chair HOWARD declared a brief recess at 10:10 p.m. The meeting reconvened at 10:20 P.M-) C.

(Case No. WA-00-02) Being so close to 1-70, there Is a lot of noise In this neighborhood already. The possible use of this land as an ail-terrain vehicle test driving site would be an addition of sounds that would be unacceptable. The steady drone of automobiles, trucks, and other traffic is one thing but the sometimes louder revving of motors and various noises of all-terrain vehicles would be much more of an annoyance. We ask that the city not allow this new usage. If the company wants to increase the volume of business in this location, we wish them success. Their responsibility for the increased traffic flow down Tabor Street and the noise level in the neighborhood should also be realized. There are a lot of trips through the 46th Ave. and Tabor St. intersection already, because of the frontage road use that comes down Swadley Street. Thank you for your consideration. Alva E.

CASE NO: WA-00-02 APPLICANT'S NAME: Trailer Source, Inc. LOCATION: 4651 Tabor Street Upon a motion by Board Member HOVLAND and second by Board Member BROWN, the following resolution was stated: WHEREAS, the applicant was denied permission by an administrative officer; and WHEREAS, Board of Adjustment Application Case No. WA-00-02 is an appeal to this Board from the decision of an administrative officer; and WHEREAS, the property was originally posted the fifteen days required by law, and in recognition of protest registered against it; and WHEREAS, the question for Interpretation is the interpretation of the permitted use regulations in a Planned Commercial Development; and WHEREAS, a motion was made to find that sales of all-terrain vehicles (ATV's) and snowmobiles should be an approved use of Planned Commercial Development; and WHEREAS, the vote on the motion was: YES: BROWN, ECHELMEYER, HOVLAND, MAURO NO: HOWARD, MONTOYA ABSENT: ABBOTT, and WHEREAS, Wheat Ridge Code of Laws Section 2-53(d) requires that when six members of the Board are present, five affirmative votes are required to grant any interpretation. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED: 1. DISPOSITION: A request for interpretation of permitted use regulations in a Planned Commercial Development to allow sales of all terrain vehicles (ATV's) and snowmobiles as an approved use is denied, based on Chapter 2, Article 3, Sections 2-53(d) and 2-61(d) of the City of Wheat Ridge Code of GED\53027\344414.01 Laws, which require that Board of Adjustment motions not carried by the specified number of votes are thereby deemed denied and further require that in that event a resolution denying such appeal shall be formally entered upon the record. 2.

ADOPTED and made effective this 23`d day of March, 2000 Bob Howard, Chairman Board of Adjustment Ann Lazzeri, Secretary Board of Adjustment GED\53027\344414.01 For the following reasons: 1. The Board finds that based on the evidence presented and based on the Board's conclusions relative to the five specific questions to justify the temporary use permit, the evidence and facts in this case do support the granting of this request. With the following conditions: 1. The Temporary Use Permit is not to exceed one year or until the property is sold. 2. The area for displaying the U-Haul vehicles would not hold more than eight (S) vehicles, including trucks and trailers; and the portion for viewing will be limited to approximately sixty (60) feet heading east from Street A and approximately forty (40) feet heading south from Street B, creating an approximate triangle in that area. 3. Four to six inches of gravel will be placed in the U-Haul display area and the gravel will extend to the curb. The motion failed by a vote of 3-3 with Board Members MONTOYA, HOWARD and ECHELMEYER voting opposed, and Board Member ABBOTT absent. B. Case No. WA-00-02: (continued from February 24, 2000) An application filed by Trailer Source, Inc. for an interpretation of allowed uses as listed in their Planned Commercial Development (Tabor Development Planned Commercial Development Outline Development Plan.) Said property is located at 4651 Tabor Street and zoned PCD. This case was presented by Alan White. He reviewed the staff report, presented slides and overheads of the subject property and entered all pertinent documents into the record which were accepted by Chair HOWARD. He advised that all notification and posting requirements had been met and there was jurisdiction for the Board to hear the case. Staff recommended denial of the application for reasons outlined in the staff report. He entered a letter dated March 14, 2000 from Kenneth G. Brengle, Jr., President of the West Chamber indicating his support for the applicant's request. The letter was made a part of the case file. Board Member BROWN asked the staff s reason for the opinion that the sale of all-terrain vehicles (ATV's) and snowmobiles should not be allowed. Mr. White explained staff s interpretation is that there is nothing similar to ATV's or snowmobiles in the list of permitted uses for this development. Mr. White requested that staff be given the opportunity for a closing statement before a motion is considered. Dick Scheurer Board of Adjustment Page 6 03/23/00 143 Union Boulevard, Suite 625, Lakewood Mr. Scheurer stated there is ample evidence to support the finding that sales of ATV's and snowmobiles are in the scope of the Planned Development (unde the similar use provision) approved by Council in 1995 under the similar use provision. James R. Blumenthal 5395 Easley Road, Golden Mr. Blumenthal was sworn in by Chair HOWARD. He presented slides and a history of his business which was started primarily for sales of horse trailers. Because there was a demand for ATV's, these were added to the inventory line in 1997. The reason for selling the snowmobiles and jet skis is that, in order to carry the Articat brand of ATV's, the Articat dealership requires three lines to be carried (ATV's, snowmobiles and jet skis.) He pointed out sales tax payments to the city have increased from approximately $4,000 in 1997 to approximately $40,000 in 1999. He stated that when the additional 1.3 acres was added to the property and taken to City Council, the City Council voted against the sale of ATV's and snowmobiles and ordered the city to take action against Trailer Source. He commented that these types of sales have taken place since 1997 and the city never indicated they couldn't do so until the matter went before City Council. He stated that customers are allowed to drive an ATV around the property; however testing facilities are located off-site. Since marketing changes are inevitable, he thought it was cumbersome to come before the city every time a new item is marketed. He asked the Board of Adjustment to overturn the previous direction and allow the sale of ATV's and snowmobiles which use is compatible in character and impact with other allowed uses. Board Member HOVLAND expressed concern that sales could be expanded to include dirt bikes or other vehicles that don't require licenses. Mr. Blumenthal responded that they have turned away similar products such as motorized bicycles. Board Member MONTOYA asked if Trailer Source sold pickup trucks. Mr. Blumenthal stated that, under the original PCD, they are allowed to sell pickup trucks but are limited to fifteen at any one time. Dick Scheurer returned to the podium. He presented a list of uses allowed in the Planned Commercial Development and stated his opinion that ATV's and snowmobiles are compatible in character and impact with those uses. He commented that these uses are not listed in the appropriate zone district; however, many products were not around at the time the zoning ordinance was written. He stated it should not be necessary to rezone every time a new product comes on the market. He had prepared an analysis of impacts listed in the PCD as they relate to the sale of ATV's and snowmobiles and submitted copies of the analysis to the Board members. This analysis was made a part of the case file. He stated that the Blumenthal's have a record of cooperation with the City and there were no letters of warnings or summonses issued which indicated the sale of ATV's and snowmobiles were not legal until the matter went to City Council. He stated there is case law that says when an interpretation is required due to ambiguous language, Board of Adjustment Page 7 03/23/00 the interpretation should favor the land owner and not add more restrictions over what a landowner may do with his property. He referred to the letter from Mr. Brengle of the West Chamber (earlier entered into the record by Alan White) which expressed concern about business owners operating in a planned development having to come before City Council each time they want to add a product line. He also entered into the record a letter from Sergeant Jay Gray of the Wheat Ridge Police Department which indicated traffic at the subject site has not been a problem as well as a letter Rosanna Colson and Ed Volleberg who indicated their support of the application. These letters were made part of the case file. In regard to Mr. White's request for rebuttal, he stated he had no objection to Mr. White giving rebuttal. However, he did voice concern to the Board about counsel giving rebuttal because he was not sure if Mr. Dahl represented the Board or Mr. White. James Blumenthal returned to the podium. He stated that it was his intent to be a good neighbor and not to do anything wrong. He stated that he felt he has been held unjustly at bay by others and asked the Board to rule in his favor. Kim Stewart 11700 West 46th Avenue Ms. Stewart was sworn in by Chair HOWARD. Ms. Stewart expressed her opposition to the sale of ATV's and snowmobiles because she felt that each new product added increased traffic impact on the neighborhood. She stated that she had contacted the police department over the past years when she observed situations such as unattended semi's parked in the northbound lane of Tabor Street. She also stated that she has contacted staff regarding problems at Trailer Source. She asked the Board to consider that a loose interpretation in this case would open the door for other situations which would have negative impacts on neighborhoods. Gerald Dahl, city attorney, stated that he planned to address the Board on behalf of the staff and planning director who interpreted the ordinance to say snowmobiles and ATV's are not permitted on the PCD. He stated he was not representing the Board of Adjustment. Mr. Scheurer indicated he had no objection to Mr. Dahl speaking on behalf of the staff. Mr. Dahl submitted copies of two documents entitled "Findings and Decision" and "Memorandum of Points and Authorities: Administrative Official Charged with Enforcement of a Statute or Ordinance" to the Board. These documents were entered into the record and made a part of the case file. He stated these two documents uphold the authority of the planning director's decision in this case. He stated that case law gives deference to the decision of the planning administrator in cases of ambiguous language. He stated the fact that Trailer source pays taxes to the City of Wheat Ridge, has been a good Board of Adjustment Page 8 03/23/00 corporate citizen and that no city violations had been issued has no bearing on the interpretation nor does the fact that Mr. Blumenthal chose not to sell dirt bikes. Further, the similar use language does not refer to the idea of marketing driving the business and having to come back whenever there is a new product line. He referred to Kim Stewart's testimony that additional traffic generated by these product lines will cause a negative impact to the neighborhood. He stated that the property was established as a PCD in 1995. Snowmobiles and ATV's were in existence at that time but were not included in the list of uses in the PCD. He reminded the Board that this is not general commercial retail, but a PCD with a list of uses which needs to be adhered to. He urged the body to adopt these findings by resolution. Dick Scheurer returned to the podium for rebuttal. He stated that the Board's instruction was to decide if ATV and snowmobile sales is a similar use in terms of character and impact with other uses in the PCD. He stated that evidence shows that ATV's and snowmobiles have a very close relationship and originated out of the equine uses. He stated that the record is devoid of any information to form a basis for a finding that ATV's and snowmobiles are more objectionable than other uses in the PCD. He asked the Board to make a common sense decision in favor of the applicant. Upon a motion by Board Member HOVLAND and second by Board MemberBROWN, the following resolution was stated: WHEREAS, the applicant was denied permission by an administrative officer; and WHEREAS, Board of Adjustment Application CaseNo. WA-00-02 is an appeal to this Board from the decision of an administrative officer; and WHEREAS, the property was originally posted the fifteen days required by law, and in recognition of protest registered against it; and WHEREAS, the question for Interpretation is the interpretation of the permitted use regulations in a Planned Commercial Development; and WHEREAS, a motion was made to find that sales of all-terrain vehicles (ATV's) and snowmobiles should be an approved use of Planned Commercial Development; and WHEREAS, the vote on the motion was: YES: BROWN, ECHELMEYER, HOVLAND, MAURO NO: HOWARD, MONTOYA ABSENT: ABBOTT, and WHEREAS, Wheat Ridge Code of Laws Section 2-53(d) requires that when six members of the Board are present, five affirmative votes are required to grant any interpretation. Board of Adjustment Page 9 03/23/00 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED: 1. DISPOSITION: A request for interpretation of permitted use regulations in a Planned Commercial Development to allow sales of all terrain vehicles (ATV's) and snowmobiles as an approved use is denied, based on Chapter 2, Article 3, Sections 2-53(d) and 2-61(d) of the City of Wheat Ridge Code of Laws, which require that Board of Adjustment motions not carried by the specified number of votes are thereby deemed denied and further require that in that event a resolution denying such appeal shall be formally entered upon the record. 2. Board of Adjustment Application Case No. WA-00-02 is hereby denied. Board Member ECHELMEYER stated that he would be in favor of the application if the semi traffic could be controlled. Board Member HOVLAND stated that, while he shared a concern about traffic, there were other items in the list of permitted uses that could generate at least as much traffic. He stated that the Board's purpose was not to regulate the site but to determine if this is an intended similar use. In response to a question from Board Member MAURO, Mr. White explained that the interpretation would only apply to the subject planned development and would not affect other planned developments within the city. Board Member HOVLAND asked if the interpretation could include traffic restrictions. Mr. Dahl cited Section 2-61-1)(3) of the city code which says the Board has the authority to affirm, reverse or modify. Because a super majority vote is required, the motion failed by a vote of 4 to 2 with Board Members HOWARD and MONTOYA voting no. Dick Scheurer referred to a code provision which requires a simple majority in case of interpretations as opposed to a super majority. Gerald Dahl informed Mr. Scheuerer that the code had been amended within the last year to provide for a super majority vote in all cases considered by the Board of Adjustment including cases of interpretation. Chair HOWARD informed the applicant that the zoning administrator's interpretation will stand. (Chair HOWARD declared a brief recess at 10:10 p.m. The meeting reconvened at 10:20 p.m.) C.

This case is an application for an interpretation of the permitted use regulations for the planned commercial district located at 4651 Tabor Street (the "subject property"). 2. On January 12, 2000, Alan C. White, Planning and Development Director, interpreted the applicable provisions of the Wheat Ridge Zoning Code and the restrictions of the approved planned commercial district for 4651 Tabor Street as not permitting the sale of all terrain vehicles (ATVs) and snowmobiles. 3. The applicant has appealed this determination to the Board of Adjustment, as permitted by Wheat Ridge Code of Law, § 26-6(D)(4). 4. The subject 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. 5. The Board conducted a public hearing on the application on Thursday, March 23, 2000. During the hearing, the Board accepted testimony and evidence from the Director of Planning and Development, Alan C. White, and legal argument from the City Attorney, Gerald E. Dahl. The Board also accepted testimony and evidence from the applicant, J. R. Blumenthal, and legal argument from the applicant's attorney, Richard Scheurer. ~so ~C ~(IVl4hr, AM tt -Dtat^f 6. The applicant appeals the Planning and Development Director's interpretation that the sale of the snowmobiles and ATVs is not permitted on the subject property. The Board of Adjustment is empowered to decide upon this request pursuant to Code of Laws § 26-6(D)(4). In interpreting and deciding upon requests for interpretation of the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance, the Board of Adjustment is required to act in such a way to carry out the intent and GED\53027\340886.01 purpose of such law." This authority extends to include: (1) the interpretation of the basic intent and purpose of words, phrases, or a paragraph as applied to a specific proposal or instance, and (2) to the use of property under "other similar use" provisions. 7. The subject property was approved as a planned commercial district in September 1995. That approval carried with it a list of permitted uses and a description of the project, as reflected on the planned commercial district approval documents themselves. (City Exhibit D) 8. The sale of snowmobiles and ATVs is not listed as a permitted use. While sale of a limited number of pickup trucks is permitted in the list, as well as the sales of boats, campers, and travel trailers, these are the only "vehicles" listed as permitted for sale. The Board finds it significant that all of these vehicles require a trailer or are pulled by a motorized vehicle. Other than pickup trucks, the sale of any other independently powered craft is not permitted. 9. The "description of project," approved as a part of the planned commercial district documents in 1995 and introduced as City Exhibit D states: Intent purpose of Trailer Source, Inc. is the sale of trailers, including horse, enclosed, cargo, flatbed and used. There will be limited sales of motorized vehicles not to exceed 15% of licensable vehicles. Truck accessories, hitches, hitch installation, hitch accessories, dual wheel conversions, trailer repair, undercoating and hardware sales of accessories compatible to the horse industry. Special uses of property site will be appropriate for the use proposed and uniquely restricted to the equine industry. 10. The list of permitted uses approved as a part of the planned development district documents and introduced as City Exhibit D contains the following entry at the end of that list: Any similar use which, in the opinion of the Zoning Administrator, or upon appeal of his decision, of the Board of Adjustment, would be compatible in character and impact with other uses in the district, would be consistent with the intent of this district, and which would not be objectionable to nearby property by reason of odor, dust, fumes, gas, noise, radiation, heat, glare, GED\53027\340886.01 -2- vibration, traffic generation, parking needs, outdoor storage or use, or is not hazardous to the health and safety of surrounding areas through danger of fire or explosion. 11. The Board finds that snowmobiles and ATVs are not a "similar use" to any of the uses enumerated in the list of permitted uses as shown on City Exhibit D. Snowmobiles and ATVs share none of the characteristics of any of the other listed permitted uses. The Board finds that it was appropriate for the Planning and Development Director to interpret the Zoning Code and planned commercial development district documents as precluding the sale of snowmobiles and ATVs. 12. The Board finds that the sale of snowmobiles and ATVs would not be compatible in character and impact with other uses in the district, would not be consistent with the intent of the district described in the district project documents and would be objectionable to nearby properties in violation of the requirements of the planned commercial district documents themselves. DECISION For the foregoing reasons, the interpretation of the Planning and Development Director that the sale of snowmobiles and ATVs is not permitted on the planned commercial district approved for 4651 Tabor Street, is hereby upheld. These Findings and Decision shall be incorporated into an appropriate resolution of decision in the form and manner customarily adopted by the Board. GED\53027\340886.01 -3- BEFORE THE BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT, CITY OF WHEAT RIDGE, COLORADO Case No. WA-00-02/Trailer Source MEMORANDUM OF POINTS AND AUTHORITIES: ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICIAL CHARGED WITH ENFORCEMENT OF A STATUTE OR ORDINANCE SUMMARY If the meaning of an ordinance is ambiguous or open to dispute, the construction of the ordinance made by an administrative official charged with its enforcement will be given strong deference by the courts. The Planning and Development Director is charged with administration of "all matters relating to planning and zoning and with the providing of professional advice and guidance to the Board of Adjustment. Code of Laws, 2-32(1); (2). The Board should rely upon the interpretation of the Planning Director that the restrictions which apply to the Planned Commercial Development at 4651 Tabor Street (the "subject property"), do not allow the sales of all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) or snowmobiles. il. DISCUSSION The Colorado courts have consistently held that the "[c]onstruction of a statute by administrative officials charged with its enforcement shall be given deference by the courts Larimer Cty. Sch. Dist. v. Industrial Comm'n, 727 P.2d 401 (Colo. App. 1986), cert. denied 752 P.2d 1197 (Colo. 1988) (emphasis added). See also Gamble v. Levitz Furniture Co., 759 P.2d 761, 765 (Colo. App. 1988), cert. denied 782 P.2d 1197 (Colo. 1989). Colorado Revised Statutes, at § 2-4-203(f) states: If a statute is ambiguous, the court, in determining the intention of the general assembly ["legislative body"], may consider among other matters: the administrative construction of the statute ["ordinance"]. In construing municipal ordinances, including zoning ordinances, the courts have held that "[t]he same rules of construction are used in construing legislative enactments, whether statutes or ordinances." Martin v. King, 417 F.2d 458, 461 (10th Cir. Colo. 1969). See also Gomez v. Sheridan, Colo., by and through GED\53027\340886.01 Herring, 611 F. Supp. 230 (D. Colo. 1985).' Therefore, the interpretation of a city zoning ordinance made by the municipal official charged with its enforcement will be given deference by the courts. See Darrell v. Englewood, 740 P.2d 536 (Colo. App. 1987). In Wheat Ridge, the official charged with enforcement of the Zoning Ordinance is the Director of the Department of Planning and Development. The Director is charged with the authority to administer and interpret City Zoning Ordinance: 1. Code of Laws § 2-32(1): Director provides professional advice and guidance to City Council and Planning Commission on all matters relating to planning and zoning. 2. Code of Laws § 2-32(2): Director provides professional advice and guidance to the Board of Adjustment. 3. Code of Laws § 26-6(D)(4): Appeals of Director's interpretation of the Code are taken to the Board of Adjustment. The Director has determined that the sale of snowmobiles and ATVs is not a permitted use on the subject property, nor are such sales a "similar use" to the list of permitted uses, and has properly denied the request. The Planning Director's interpretation of the Zoning Code, and, in particular, the "other similar use" provisions of the planned commercial district approval for the subject property is reasonably based upon the specific planned commercial development itself, as well as the intent and purpose of the Wheat Ridge Code of Laws. The basis for the Director's decision is documented in the Planning Division staff report for the March 23, 2000 BOA meeting and the Planning and Development Director's January 12, 2000 letter to J. R. Blumenthal. III. CONCLUSION The applicant has challenged the Planning and Development Director's construction and interpretation of the Zoning Code and the planned commercial district approval for the subject property that ATVs and snowmobiles are not "other similar uses," and thus are prohibited. ' For recent Colorado cases specifically holding that statutory construction rules apply equally to municipal ordinances, see Smith v. Denver, 789 P.2d 442 (Colo. App. 1989), cert. denied, _ P.2d (Colo. 1989); and Bilts v. Board of Adiustment, 765 P.2d 1077 (Colo. App. 1988). GED\53027\340886.01 -2- Since the Director is specifically charged with enforcement of the Zoning Code, the case law decisions discussed above require this Board to give deference to the Director's interpretation of the meaning of the phrase "other similar uses." If an ordinance is open to conflicting interpretation, and if the administrative official charged with enforcement of that ordinance has adopted a particular interpretation of the ordinance, the courts (including the Board of Adjustment in this case) must defer to that interpretation. The Director of the Department of Planning and Development is charged with administration of the Zoning Code here at issue. His interpretation of that Code, which was reasonable, is that sale of snowmobiles and ATVs are prohibited within the approved planned commercial district located at 4651 Tabor Street. This Board should uphold that decision. Respectfully submitted this 23rd day of March, 2000. GORSUCH, KIRGIS LLP By: 2-0~~Cx Gerald E.

Trailer Source has been in business at this location for the past 4 years, during which their business has grown. Trader Source is requesting an interpretation from the Board of Adjustments for allowed uses. I would ask that this interpretation granted in favor of Trailer Source. As a progressive member of Wheat Ridge's business comm,_nit}r, Trailer Sources has prospered. Originally selling trailers, the owners found that customers wanted to purchase the equipment for their trailers at the same time they purchased the trailer. Realizing this made good business sense, giving your customers what they wanted, Trailer Source began selling ATVs and snowmobiles. A one-item business can seldom stay competitive with merchants offering the accessories as well as the main product. Complementary sales have allowed Trailer Sources business to grow. This growth should be allowed to continue. I would like to address the increased in traffic with regard to the nearby homes. Traffic wdl ala>ays fouow the path of least resistance. The fact that there is a bridge over I-70, connecting one area of town to another, causes much more traffic to the neighborhood Than aay of the businesses along Tabor Street. With the current zoning this building could have many different uses that would increase traffic much more that Trader Source selling ATVs, snowmobiles and Hailers. Bingo parlor's, motor home sales and churches could all be legally operatedfrom this address. These uses would severely impact the neighborhood. bThe items tha t TSource is requesting tc sell do not and would not impact the end, high railer neighborhood in this rr ann. Trailer Source does not sell hamburgers. They sell hrgh- equipment. You do not purchase this type of equipment fi-equentl} At traffic from the best, a purchase wo+ald be made once a year. Any increases in interpretation will be minimal. I believe the requested interpretation should be in Trailer Source 's favor. Sincerely, Rosanna L. Colson Edward G.

Fax # 235-2949 The City of Wheat Ridge A check of the traffic accident statistics for Tabor Street, from W. 44`h Ave to the North I 70 Service Road shows that between 01-01-96 to -1-06-00 there were no reported traffic accidents. During this same four-year time frame, there was one reported accident in the intersection at the N. 170 Service Road and Tabor, and nineteen accidents in the intersection of W. 44" Ave and Tabor St. Of those nineteen, only seven involved traffic entering or exiting Tabor St. The traffic volume on Tabor Street is actually low, considering it is the only way to cross over 170 in Wheat Ridge. The current data shows the average weekday traffic is 2100 cars in the 24-hour period. For comparison, the average volume for Ward Road is 32,600 cars, W. 44" Ave at Tabor is 12,150 cars, Harlan St. at W. 451 Ave has 8,000 and Pierce St. at W. 29' Ave has 4,900 cars a day. Robb Street between W. 4411 and 170 is not a through street, and it has 750 cars a day. The police department is always concerned about traffic safety and the impact additional traffic has on our streets. This section of Tabor Street is not considered a problem area for the police. Thank you for your interest in traffic safety information. Please do not hesitate to contact me at 303-235-2904 if you have any further questions regarding this matter. Sincerely, CCJJ Sgt. Jay Gray Traffic Enforcement Unit Wheat Ridge Police Department 0 RECYCLED PAPER 60/1 oa 3-a3-00 C RE: PCD Use List Evaluation 1. The specific uses at question are: " Retail Sales and service of Snowmobiles and All Terrain Vehicles (ATV's)". In order to understand the nature of this use it is best to describe the operational characteristics associated with it. New snowmobiles and ATV's are shipped to the site via semi-truck and are off-loaded by fork lift; the same process as with the delivery of horse and utility trailers. Once unloaded, the merchandise is brought into the shop for preparation for sale. The units are then placed either within the showroom, or placed outside for display purposes. Some are displayed adjacent to the building, and others are placed upon trailers. When a customer is interested in either a snowmobile or ATV, a sales person shows the customer the particular unit, and may start the unit to illustrate starring & operational aspects. The snowmobiles cannot be operated on the site because snow cover is required and the site is too small to allow for the necessary honing area, even if them was snow cover. ATV's can be operated upon the site, however due to liability insurance requirements, customers are not allowed to "test drive" the units. They may sit on them and move them a few feet to get the feel of the controls, but they never leave the site until sold. The snowmobiles and ATV's leave the site only upon the buyer's trailer or inside the buyer's vehicle. In general, the receiving, preparation, merchandising, display and sales procedures is the same for horse and utility trailers, the only difference is that trailers are not motorized. II. The question before the Wheat Ridge Hoard of Adjustment is: "Is the retail sales and service of snowmobiles and all terrain vehicles a Similar Use' to other uses which are specifically listed as `Permitted Uses' within the TABOR DEVELOPMENT PLANNED COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT. " The criteria which the Hoard must use to determine validity of this use are: 1. Would the "Similar Use" be compatible in character and impact with other uses in the district? 2. Would the "Similar Use" be consistent with the intent of this district? 3. Would the "Similar Use" be objectionable to nearby property by reason of: a. odor b. dust c. flames d. gas J 4W e. noise f. radiation g. heat It. glare i. vibration j. traffic generation k. parking needs 1. outdoor storage or use in. hazards to health and safety of surrounding areas through fire or explosion? 1. Would the "Retail sales and service of snowmobiles and ATV's" be compatible in character and impact with other uses in the district? When compared to other uses specifically permitted in the district, you would find similar characteristics associated with the following "Permitted Uses": ■ Trailer sales and service: Delivery by semi-truck, outside display and sales. ■ New truck sales and service: Delivery may be by semi-truck, outside display and sales, motorized. ■ Greenhouses and Landscape nurseries: Large trucks and construction equipment may be associated with this use. Outside storage of plant materials and other materials such as rock, sand, soil, mulch, manure mix, etc. is customary. Firewood cutting and sales is also customary. ■ Equipment rental agencies: large and small trucks including moving and construction trucks and trailers, tractors, backhoes, concrete mixers, trenchers, snowmobiles, ATVs, motorhomes, camping trailers, etc. ■ Boat, camper, and travel trailer sales and services: Delivery by semi-truck outside sales and display. Motorhomes and boats are motorized. Sale of associated equipment and supplies may include hitches, generators, canopies, etc. ■ Garden supplies store - wholesale: The term "garden supplies" can include a very broad range of items from hardware (hand tools, equipment, pottery, etc.) to fertilizers and pesticides and related chemicals, to plant materials. Because only wholesale is allowed, large quantities of shipping and receiving is required. 't'hus, heavy wck traffic would be a characteristic. CONCLUSION: The sales and service and snowmobiles and ATV's would be compatible in character and impact with other uses in the district. 2. Would the retail sales and service of snow mobiles and ATV's be consistent with the intent of this district: There are two sets of "Intent" statements that should be considered. The first is found in Wheat Ridge City Code, Zoning and Development. Section 26-25(II) INTENT AND PURPOSE. (A). wherein the legislative Intent is setforth. It is lengthy, so I will summarize it as follows. The intent of the Planned Development District is to: a. promote well designed, innovative developments b. allow flexibility and diversity of design and uses c. assure adequate provision of public services and facilities d. maintain unified control of the land and development CONCLUSION: The sale and service of snowmobiles and ATV's is fully consistent with the intent as stated because it has no affect on these things. It does not require a change in site development to accommodate the use, whereas some of the other "Permitted Uses" would The second intent is found on the face of the Tabor Development PCD-Outline Development Plan, where the following statement appears: "Intent & purpose of Trailer Source, Inc. is the sales of trailers, including horse, enclosed, cargo flatbed and used. There will be limited sales of motorized vehicles not to exceed 15% of licensable vehicles. Truck accessories, hitches, hitch installation, hitch accessories, dual wheel conversions, trailer repair, undercoating and hardware sales of accessories compatible to the horse industry. Special uses of property site will be appropriate for the use proposed and uniquely restricted to the equine industry." It should be understood that this is a business philosophy statement, v list of permitted uses. Having said that, Trailer Source began carrying snowmobiles and ATV's the largest block of buyers of their trailers, ranchers, use snowmobiles and ATVs in support of their ranching activities. CONCLUSION: Neither snowmobiles nor ATV's are "licensable" vehicles therefore not subject to the 15% limitation. The sales and service of snowmobiles and ATV's is consistent with the intent of the district. 3. Would the retail sales and service of snowmobiles and ATV's be objectionable to nearby property by reason of odor, dust, fumes, gas, noise, radiation, heat, glare, vibration, traffic generation, parking needs, outdoor storage or use, or fire or explosion hazards? a. Odor: There are no odors associated with this use. Other permitted uses, such as greenhouses, landscape nurseries, garden supply stores, bakeries and caterers could create objectionable odors, however. b. Dust: There are is no dust associated with this use. Other permitted uses, such as green houses, landscape nurseries, garden supply stores, and equipment rental agencies, however could create objectionable dust c. Fames: This use has no fumes associated with it, however other permitted uses could such as exterminators, equipment rental agencies could. d. Gas: This use does not create gas. e. Noise: This is a very noisy neighborhood already, with I-70 being adjacent and the truck stop to the west. ATV's have 4 cycle engines with mufflers, which keep their noise level very low. Snowmobiles have 2 cycle engines which could be noisy, if they were allowed to be tested on site, and if you could here them over the constant,overwhebming noise of I-70. Additionally, Trailer Source is between 10 to 20 feet below the elevation of Tabor St., which acts as a physical barrier and berm between it, and the residential to the east. Several other `-permitted uses" however, could create much more of a sound problem for nearby property including assembly halls and convention facilities, child care centers, private clubs and social clubs, equipment rental agencies, studio for work or teaching of music, and small animal hospital and veterinarian clinics. f. Radiation: There is no radiation associated with this use, however, the permitted use "electric transmission facility' could have radiation. S. Heat: This use does not create heat. h. Glare: This use does not create glare. i. Vibration: This use does not create vibration. j. Traffic Generation: This use does generate traffic, however to a much lessor impact than several other "permitted uses" such as assembly hall and convention facilities, banks, loan and finance offices, child care facilities, government offices, medical and dental clinics, general offices, bingo parlors, schools (high school, vocational, college), and boat-camper-travel trailer sales and service. Traffic associated with the sale and service of snowmobiles and ATVs cannot be separated from the rest of the business for traffic generation purposes, no more than traffic related to buyers of milk at a grocery store or fishing rods at Walmart. k. Parking needs: Parking needs were established by the size of the building based upon the general use of the building and site. Many of the other permitted uses would have a much greater impact on parking needs that this use. 1. Outdoor storage or use: There is outdoor storage and use associated with this use, the same as for the other permitted uses, trailer sales and service, greenhouses and landscape nurseries, equipment agencies, and boat, camper and travel trailer sales/service, and garden supply stores. m. Fire & explosion hazard: There is no more fire or explosion hazard with this use than the other permitted uses greenhouses, public utility building, equipment rental agencies, schools, auto parts and supply stores, boat, camper, and travel trailer sales and services. CONCLUSION: The retail sales and service of snowmobiles and ATV's pose less of an impact on surrounding areas than malty of the specifically permitted uses. III. GENERAL CONCLUSION: The retail sales and service of snowmobiles and ATV's is so similar in character and impact to other permitted uses in the Tabor Development Planned Commercial zone district that it should be considered a permitted "SIMILAR" use. •iik#Ykkk#iiiki##iiii*iiikYkYk#iY,lYikit#iikii#ikiiYY##tYt~tii+Rikiiiiiiil3Y#YkiYYYYY*Yi~ 3-a3-ov the. WEB ER SER17ING JEFFERSON COUNTY March 14, 2000 Board of Adjustment City of Wheat Ridge 7500 W. 291h Ave. Wheat Ridge, CO 80215 Dear Madams/Sirs: C~ f I am writing this letter in support of Trailer Source and their efforts to receive a favorable interpretation of "similar use ianguage° to allow them to continue to sale ATVs, snowmobiles, and personal watercraft. I was prepared to testify at the February 24th meeting that had to be cancelled due a lack of a quorum, however I can not be present at the March 23`d meeting. Wheat Ridge is fortunate to have a successful, homegrown business like Trailer Source in their corporate boundaries. Trailer Source has grown from a small horse trailer business to a leader in their field. As the business has grown it has had to stay up with market trends and has had to diversity it product lines to match that market. The West Chamber is very concerned with the broader policy question of how large a role government should play in determining a businesses product line. We understand the need for the City to make sure that a business does not radically change its scope of activities. Trailer Source has not done that. It is my understanding that the Blumenthal's could open a bingo parlor, or a RV lot, both of which would bring in much more traffic, without having to get a variance. The ATV's, snowmobiles, and personal watercraft are the type of use that is compatible with trailer sales due to the seasonally nature of the different lines of business. I guess one of the questions I have is, when a supermarket or large discount store decides to put a lawn and garden shop in their location each spring, do they come and ask the city for permission? Or is it*understood that for them to be competitive in the marketplace they need to offer those product lines. Trailer Source, in order to remain competitive and to continue their growth, needed to diversity their business into these other lines. I hope you will consider Trailer Source's request for the BOA'S favorable interpretation of "similar use language" to accommodate the flexibility that was originally intended.

I. REQUEST The applicant is requesting an interpretation of the permitted use regulations for this Planned Commercial District. The Zoning Administrator has interpreted the regulations which apply to this PCD do not allow the sales of all terrain vehicles (ATV's) and snowmobiles. (See letter to property owner, Exhibit A) These items are currently being sold on the property. Jet skis are also sold, but have been interpreted to be boats and allowed as a permitted use. II. CASE HISTORY The subject property was rezoned from Agriculture-One to Planned Commercial Development (PCD) in September 1995. City Council minutes, (Exhibit B), and Planning Commission minutes, (Exhibit C), for Case No. WZ-95-09 are attached. Also attached is the list of permitted uses and description of project taken directly from the recorded PCD document (Exhibit D). On January 10, 2000, City Council denied Case No. WZ-99-09 which was a request to rezone an additional 1.3 acres to the north of the subject property to PCD and to amend the permitted use regulations for the subject property. The new regulations would have superceded those approved in 1995 and would have clarified whether ATV and snowmobile sales were allowed. City Council minutes, (Exhibit E), and Planning Commission minutes, (Exhibit F), for Case No. WZ-99-09 are attached. III. CRITERIA Under Section 26-6(D)(4) of the Wheat Ridge Code of Laws, the Board of Adjustment "is empowered to hold public hearings to decide upon requests for interpretation of the provisions of the zoning ordinance in such a way to carry out the intent and purpose of such laws." This authority extends to include: 1) the interpretation of the basic intent and purpose of words, phrases or paragraphs as applied to a specific proposal or instance, and 2) to the use of property under "other similar use" provisions. The interpretation section does not provide any further guidance in making these interpretations. The decision of the Board should be based upon the intent of the original PCD zoning, evidence presented during the rezoning request, or any relevant evidence presented on the PCD documents. IV. STAFF CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATION The description of the project from the PCD plan indicates the property was to be used for the sale of horse, enclosed, cargo flatbed, and used trailers. Sales of motorized vehicles was limited to 15% of licensable vehicles. Truck accessories, hitches, trailer repair, and hardware sales of accessories compatible to the horse industry. Special uses will be appropriate for the use proposed and uniquely restricted to the equine industry. While the project description indicates the intent to allow various uses related to the horse industry, a review of the minutes of the original rezoning request reveals little evidence that uses Board of Adjustment WA-00-02/Blumenthal on the property were restricted to only horse industry related uses. If this had been the case, the list of permitted uses should not have included uses such as antiques stores, greenhouses, banks, offices, art galleries, auto parts sales, and bakeries. The sale of snowmobiles and ATV's is clearly not listed as a permitted use. Sale of a limited number of pickup trucks is permitted as well as the sales of boats, campers, and travel trailers. These are the only "vehicles" listed as permitted for sale. Note that they require a trailer or are pulled by a motorized vehicle. Other than pickup trucks, the sale of any other independently powered craft is not permitted. The Zoning Administrator contends this limitation extends to ATV's and snowmobiles. The list of permitted uses does not list the sale of any item similar to an ATV or snowmobile such that sales of these items would be allowed under the "other similar use" provisions of the PCD. Staff recommends that the Board deny the request to interpret that ATV and snowmobile sales are a permitted use for the Trailer Source PCD.

Blumenthal 4651 Tabor Street Wheat Ridge, Colorado 80033 Dear Mr. Blumenthal: The City of ~OF WHEATS ~O Wheat m GRidge COZORA~O At the hearing on January 10, 2000, the City Council denied the rezoning of the A-1 property and the amendment to the Tabor Development PCD. As a result of that denial, my interpretation that the list of permitted uses does not allow the sale of ATV's and snowmobiles must now be enforced. Please be advised that this letter serves as notice that this sales activity and storage of the merchandise on the property must cease. Any further sales of these items is a violation of the PCD limitations and will be pursued as a code violation. The regulations of the PCD allow you to appeal this interpretation to the Board of Adjustment. This appeal would require a hearing before the Board of Adjustment. Please contact this office concerning the requirements and procedure for requesting this interpretation. If you have any questions, please contact me. Sincerely, G~/& r pke~ Alan C.
