The change in zone is compatible with the surrounding area. 2. The change in zone will not adversely affect the public health, safety or welfare. 3. The change in zone will conserve numerous mature trees, and provide a noise buffer from I-70 to the north. 4. The change in zone will provide social and physical benefits to the surrounding area and community and would also be a valuable asset to the City as a whole. 5. The change in zone to Conservation District will be more consistent with the Comprehensive Plan Designation of Agricultural Estate Residential than the current zoning of R-1 C. City Council made a motion to approve Case No. W V-03-O1, a request for a right-of-way vacation for an unbuilt portion of West 46`h Place dedicated by the Bush Subdivision running between Parfet Street and Oak Street for the following reasons: 1. Although it is inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan, it appears that the present public streets leave the city with adequate access for emergency services. 2. Allowing construction of a street at this site will negate the point of the site being zoned as a conservation district. 3. This vacation of right-of-way will be granted only if City Council approves the change in zoning. 4. The fire department did not indicate they need this street for fire access. The motion failed; therefore, Case No. V VV-03-01 is DENIED. Karin Heine Page 2 April 28, 2003 Enclosed is a copy of the signed ordinance and a draft copy of the minutes stating the Council's decision. A right-of-way permit will be required for the existing structure in the West 46 h Place right-of-way. Enclosed is the r-o-w permit application.

A. Council Bill 09-2003 - An ordinance providing for the approval of rezoning from Residential One C to Conservation District for property located at 4650 Parfet Street, City of Wheat Ridge, County of Jefferson, State of Colorado. (Case No. WZ-03-03) (Karen Heine) B. Council Bill 08-2003 - An ordinance providing for the approval to vacate an existing piece of public right-of-way for West 46th Place, running between Oak Street and Parfet Street, City of Wheat Ridge, County of Jefferson, State of Colorado. Mr. Hanley introduced Items 1. A. and B. and read the titles and executive summaries. Clerk assigned Ordinance No. 1283. Mike Pesicka, Community Development, was sworn in by the Mayor and presented the staff report, showed slides of the property and neighborhood, and answered Councilmembers' questions. Karen Heine, applicant, was sworn in by the Mayor and asked for approval of her applications and gave background and descriptions of her property, outlined the animals and bird species that live there, the improvements she has made, and the future plans for maintenance and planting. She answered Councils' questions. Larry Welshon, from Alpine Valley School at 4501 Parfet Street, was sworn in by the Mayor and spoke in support of the rezoning and the vacation of the right-of-way. His students benefit greatly from her property; Karen frequently invites them over and shares with them the wonders of the property. Connie Mann, staff member and parent of 3 children at Alpine Valley School, 4501 Parfet Street, was sworn in by the Mayor and also spoke in support of both applications. The kids have such a good time going over there and learning from Karen. Dan Pike, President of Colorado Open Lands, was sworn in by the Mayor. Colorado Open Lands is a-charitable, statewide Land Trust, located in Lakewood. He spoke in support of the applications. Karen has donated a Conservation Easement on this property to Colorado Open Lands, which is an interest in Real Estate, which removes the development rights from that property in perpetuity. They hold that easement and will monitor that easement in perpetuity to make sure it's enforced. That easement more or less renders the current zoning unfeasible. The Street vacation is very important because if ever developed, it would have a very adverse impact on the intended use. He asked that both actions be supported. (Case No. WV-03-01) (Karen Heine) DRAFT CITY COUNCIL MINUTES: April 14, 2003 Page -3- Ron Selstad, 23461 Morning Rose Drive, stated that Karen bought the property in 1997 and during her stewardship she. has put a lot of time, effort, and expense in stabilizing and maintaining this parcel as a sanctuary. She has brought in landscaping and plants. She is one of the rare people that not only believes in sanctuaries and wildlife, but is willing to put her efforts and resources into supporting those beliefs. The value will drop dramatically when rezoned, but Karen is aware of this. By devaluing this property, she is dramatically increasing the value of properties around it. They have a wildlife sanctuary close to their homes. The neighborhood is built out and no further roads are required. Construction of the roadway would destroy the purpose of the property. Planning Commission voted unanimously to approve the rezoning with the road vacation. Mr. Gokey asked a number of questions and moved to suspend the Council Rules and allow him to ask all of his questions without a time limit; seconded by Mr. Mancinelli; carried 7-1 with Mr. DiTullio voting no. PIRAFT Motion by Mr. Hanley to approve Council Bill 09-2003, (Ordinance 1283), Case No. WZ- 03-03, for the following reasons: 1. The change in zone is compatible with the surrounding area. 2. The change in zone will not adversely affect the public health, safety, or welfare. 3. The change in zone will conserve numerous mature trees, and provide a noise buffer from 1-70 to the north. 4. The change in zone will provide social and physical benefits to the surrounding area and community, and would also be a valuable asset to the City as a whole. 5. The change in zone to Conservation District will be more consistent with the Comprehensive Plan Designation of Agricultural Estate Residential than the current zoning of R-1 C; seconded by Mr. Schneider; carried 6-2 with Mr. Mancinelli and Mr. Gokey voting no. Mr. Gokey would probably support this if it was in a different location; if it was adjacent to the Greenbelt; if it was hooked up to a facility where.he could be assured that the management of this property wouldn't slip into disrepair; this is a huge liability and he compliments. Karen that she is willing to take this on. He can't condone the zone change and the limits on restrictions that the City could impose on this property. There is a proper place for everything and he doesn't feel this is it. Mr. Mancinelli feels to put a 3'Y2 acre wildlife sanctuary in the middle of a residential community is absolutely bizarre. We have probably the largest greenbelt and wildlife area in any municipality in the area and he doesn't see the need for another one right in the middle of a neighborhood. CITY COUNCIL MINUTES: April 14, 2003 Page -4- Motion by Mr. Hanley to approve Council Bill 08-2003, (Ordinance 1284), Case No. WV- 03-01 for the following reasons:. 1. Although it is inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan, it appears that the present public streets leave the City with adequate access for emergency services. 2. Allowing construction of a street at this site will negate the point of the site being rezoned as a Conservation District. 3. This vacation of right-of-way will be granted only if City Council approves the change in zoning. 4. Arvada Fire Department did not indicate they need this street for fire access; seconded by Ms. Figlus; failed 5-3 with Councilmembers Schneider, Mancinelli and Gokey voting No. (This needed 6 votes in favor to pass). Mr. Schneider is confused because staff had said earlier that this could hamper future emergency services and the motion says there is adequate access for emergency services. He cannot support this. Item 2. Public Hearing on application filed by Neil Boucher for approval of a three- lot replat of properties zoned Residential-Two (R-2) and located at 3240 Pierce Street, 3225 Otis Street, an "d Avenue. (Case No. MS-02-09) i e Item 2 was introduced by Mr. DiTullio; Executive Summary read by the Deputy Clerk. Travis Crane, Community Development, was sworn in by the Mayor and presented the staff report and showed slides of the properties. Ralph Colasanti was sworn in by the Mayor and stated he was here for the applicant, who was not able to attend. He agreed with everything staff had presented tonight and was available to answer questions. Mr. DiTullio stated that the former owner had stated that a single family home would be put on Lot 2. Mr. Crane said the new owner is planning to put a duplex on Lot 2. Mr. DiTullio will not make the motion because he cannot support this. Motion by Mr. Edwards to approve Case No. MS-02-09 for the following reasons: 1: The replat meets all requirements of a final plat. 2. All requirements of the zone district will be met. With the following condition: The cash in lieu of parkland dedication fee be paid prior to the issuance of the Certificate of Occupancy for Lot 2, as originally requested as part of the Last Greenhouse Subdivision; seconded by Mr. Mancinelli; carried 5-3 with Councilmembers DiTullio, Schneider, and Gokey voting no.

WZ-03-03/HEINE) ® PUBLIC HEARING ❑ ❑ BIDS/MOTIONS ❑ RESOLUTIONS Quasi-Judicial: Ayes 4 Director of Community Develops EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: ORDINANCES FOR 1 ST READING (Date: March 10, 2003) ORDINANCES FOR 2ND READING No nent City Manager Karen Heine is requesting approval of a rezoning from Residential-One C to Conservation District being considered concurrently with a request for approval to vacate existing right-of-way for property located at 4650 Parfet Street (Lots 1, 2 and 3 of the Bush Subdivision). The applicant is requesting approval so that she can maintain the land in its natural state as a wildlife sanctuary. A structure (observation deck) does exist on the property. Pursuant to Section 26- 211(5)(B)(b) "Wildlife observation decks and platforms, not including boat docks are permitted as an accessory use in the Conservation District." In 1984, a dispute arose between a potential buyer of 4650 Parfet Street (Bush Subdivision) and the City. The issue was regarding the official zoning of the property. The buyer contended that the property was zoned Residential-Three at the time of purchase, but the City recognized the property as Agricultural-One. On August 12, 1985, the disagreement adjudicated in Jefferson County District Court where a settlement was reached between the two parties to officially recognize the property as being zoned Residential-One C (R-1C). Both sides provided assessments of the property, and a monetary amount that was agreeable to both was settled upon. Since then the property has been officially recognized as R-1 C by the City and has remained as vacant land and is currently being used for wildlife habitat. Ordinance No. 1233 was approved by City Council on November 27, 2001, adopting the Conservation District zone district. Planning Commission recommended approval of Case No. WZ-03-03 (rezoning) at their meeting on February 20, 2003. COMMISSION/BOARD RECOMMENDATION: Planning Commission reviewed Case No. WZ-03-03 on February 20, 2003, and recommended approval of the rezoning for the following reasons: 1. The change in zone is compatible with the surrounding area. 2. The change in zone will not adversely affect the public health, safety or welfare. 3. The change in zone will conserve numerous mature trees, and provide a noise buffer from I-70 to the north. 4. The change in zone will provide social and physical benefits to the surrounding area and community, and would also be a valuable asset to the city as a whole. 5. The change in zone to Conservation District will be more consistent with the Comprehensive Plan Designation of Agricultural Estate Residential than the current zoning ofR-1C. There were four people speaking in favor of the request, and the applicant submitted a petition with sixty-one signatures in favor. STATEMENT OF THE ISSUES: There are no outstanding issues associated with the proposed rezoning. ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED: None. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The City has received a one-time application fee for the rezoning application. No development can occur on the property if it is rezoned to Conservation District. RECOMMENDED MOTION: ZONE CHANGE: "I move to approve Council Bill No.09-2003, Case Number WZ-03-03, a request for a rezoning from Residential-One C to Conservation District for property located at 4650 Parfet Street, on second reading to take effect 15 days after final publication, for the following reasons. 1.

Planning Commission WZ-03-03 & WV-03-01/Heine ATTACHMENT 1 I. REQUEST The applicant is requesting approval of a rezoning of property located at 4650 Parfet Street from Residential-One C (R-1C) to Conservation District, and approval of vacation of right-of-way for W. 40 Place running from Parfet Street to Oak Street (Exhibit 1, Applicant Letter). The purpose of the rezoning is to allow for the land to stay in its natural state as a wildlife sanctuary. The applicant/owner does not reside on the property. A structure (observation deck) does exist on the property and is presently positioned in the right-of-way. Pursuant to section 26-221(5)(B)(b) "Wildlife observation decks and platforms, not including boat docks are permitted as an accessory use in the Conservation District." If the property were redeveloped with the current zoning, fifteen single-family residences would be allowed. Currently, there is vehicular access through a padlocked gate at the southeast corner of the property. There are currently three padlocked pedestrian gates, two on the eastern property line and one on the western property line. Commencing at Oak Street, the right-of-way measures 50' in width for a distance of 247.96', then narrowing to a width of 24' for a distance of 266.00' ending at Parfet Street. At present, the ROW is not improved and is not being used for access to the property. Il. CASE HISTORY The property in question is approximately 160,631 square feet in size and fronts on Parfet Street (west) and Oak Street (east) (Exhibit 2, Vicinity Map). It is currently platted as Lots 1, 2 and 3 of the Bush Subdivision, which was approved on April 30, 1960 by the Jefferson County Planning Commission. In 1984, a dispute arose between a potential buyer of 4650 Parfet Street, and the City. The issue was regarding the official zoning of the property. The buyer contended that the property was zoned Residential-Three (R-3) at the time of purchase, but the City recognized the property as Agricultural-One (A-1). Eventually, the disagreement adjudicated in Jefferson County District Court where a settlement was reached between the two parties to officially recognize the property as being zoned Residential-One C (R-I C). Both sides provided assessments of the property, and a monetary amount that was agreeable to both was settled upon. Since then the property has been officially recognized as R-1C by the City of Wheat Ridge. The applicant has submitted a site plan/survey (Exhibit 3) showing the boundaries and lots of the Bush Subdivision. A legal description and map have also been submitted describing and illustrating the existing ROW (Exhibit 4). In November of 2001, City Council approved Ordinance No. 1233 establishing the Conservation District zone district. Attached are copies of minutes from Planning Commission and City Council (Exhibit 5), and a copy of the existing legislation (Exhibit 6). III. NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING A meeting for neighborhood input was held on December 17, 2003. The following persons were in attendance: Planning Commission 2 WZ-03-03 & WV-03-0I/Heine Michael Pesicka - City Staff Karen Heine - Owner/applicant Ron Selstad - representing applicant, 23461 Morning Rose Drive, Golden Monica Selstad - 23461 Morning Rose Drive, Golden Ruben Engelhardy - 4615 Parfet Street Claudia Worth - 4650 Oak Street Kim Fusilier - 10645 W. 46th Avenue Larry Welshon - Principal at Alpine Valley School, 4501 Parfet Street Ethan Welshon - representing Alpine Valley School, 4501 Parfet Street John Bellegante - 4760 Parfet Street Molly Nutt - 4695 Parfet Street The following issues were discussed: -Area residents in attendance were supportive of the property remaining in a natural state -No concerns were raised regarding vegetation, drainage or traffic. -Everyone welcomed the idea of the property remaining undeveloped -There was concern raised that the right-of-way would not be vacated -Residents were supportive of the request to rezone to Conservation District IV. AGENCY REFERRALS The Wheat Ridge Public Works Department has stated that, as a general policy, they do not support requests for ROW vacations. Public Works recommends not vacating the ROW since most of the future street ROW has already been acquired, and vacating the ROW could inhibit future emergency services. Wheat Ridge Parks & Recreation Department expressed concern regarding control of noxious weeds. Valley Water District can serve the property if future needs arise. . c~ Arvada Fire Department can serve the property. andino concerns regarding weed fires was raised. Jefferson County Department of Health and Environment has no concerns. Agencies contacted but not responding: Fruttdale Sanitation. Scel Energy, Brown & Baugh Ditch Company, AT&T Broadband, Qwest Communications. Wheat Ridge Police Department, Wheat Ridge Forestry Division. V. CRITERIA Zone Change Staff has the following comments regarding the criteria used to evaluate a change in zoning: That the existing zone classification currently recorded on the official zoning maps of the City of Wheat Ridge is an error. The existing zone classification on the official zoning map is not in error. The property currently has Residential-One C zoning. Planning Commission WZ-03-03 & WV-03-O1/Heine 2. That a change in character in the area has occurred due to installation of public facilities, other zone changes, new growth trends, deterioration, or development transitions, and that the evidence supports the finding of the following Surrounding neighborhoods have remained unchanged for years. No development is being proposed for the area, and the current use remains in character with the existing low-density residential and agricultural uses that border the property to the north, south, and west. That the change of zone is in conformance, or will bring the property into conformance, with the City of Wheat Ridge Comprehensive Plan goals, objectives and policies, and other related policies or plans for the area. The Comprehensive Plan future land use map designates that this property should consist of Agricultural and Estate Residential (AER) uses (Not to exceed one dwelling unit per acre). The AER designation describes the desired character as "neighborhoods with very low density housing and a predominantly rural character." Desired attributes consist of: well maintained dwellings, lots comprised of primarily open lands, allowed to raise domesticated farm or ranch animals, ability to construct accessory structures that assist in the production of value-added agricultural products, private and unpaved roads, and densities not to exceed one dwelling unit per acre. There are no existing dwelling units on the property, and no new units as part of this zone change are allowed in the Conservation District. Agricultural-One zoning borders the property to the north, south and west, and R-2 zoning lies to the east. If developed under R-1C zoning, 15 units could be developed on this property. A change to Conservation District will more closely match the Comprehensive Plan designation then the current zoning of R-1C. 4. That the proposed change of zone is compatible with the surrounding area and there will be minimal adverse impacts considering the benefits to be derived. The property in questions is abutted on the west by A-1 zoning and an existing single-family residence. It is abutted on the north and south by A-1 zoning and existing single-family residences with ancillary agricultural uses. Therefore, the proposed change in zoning would be more compatible with the immediate surrounding area then the property is with the present zoning of R-1C. 5. That there will be social, recreational, physical and/or economic benefits to the community derived by the change of zone; and Physical benefits could be derived through leaving the property in its natural state, which could result in lower noise levels from I-70 to the north for the surrounding neighborhood, and numerous mature trees will be conserved with this proposal. The applicant provided staff with letters and petitions from surrounding neighbors, and from students at Alpine Valley School in support of the rezone and ROW vacation. Alpine Valley considers the property a valuable resource that would remain available for use by school children and the community. (Exhibit 7, Petitions & Letters). 6. That adequate infrastructure/facilities are available to serve the type of uses allowed by the change of zone, or that the applicant will upgrade and provide such where they do not exist or are under capacity. All agencies are currently able to serve the property and can continue to do so with the proposed zone change. Planning Commission 4 WZ-03-03 & WV-03-01/Heine 7. That the change of zone will not adversely affect public health, safety or welfare by creating excessive traffic congestion, creating drainage problems, or seriously reducing light and air to adjacent properties. The proposed rezoning will not create any adverse public health, safety or welfare issues. Traffic congestion should not be increased since no new development is being proposed. No paving or grading, which could impact drainage, will occur on the site. Light and air to adjacent properties should not be impact with this request. 8. That the change of zone will not create an isolated or spot zone district unrelated to adjacent or nearby areas. Currently, the subject property is zoned R-1C, which is unrelated to any adjacent zoning in the neighborhood. Rezoning the property to Conservation District may constitute spot zoning, but would be more compatible with the A-1 zoning which abuts the property to the north, south and west. VI. RIGHT-O&WAY VACATION Before a street right-of-way vacation is recommended for approval, the applicant shall show and Planning Commission shall make the following determinations: That the proposed vacation will not leave any adjoining land without access to an established public right-of-way. If approved, the proposed vacation will not leave any adjoining land without access to an established pubic road, as there are public streets on three sides (Parfet, Oak and W. 46°i Ave), The property to the north has ROW access to Parfet Street and Oak Street. Properties to the west and. south have ROW access to Parfet Street, and properties to the east have ROW access to Oak Street and W. 46`h Avenue. If the ROW is vacated none of this will change. 2. That the proposed vacation is in conformity with the most recently enacted goals and policies of the transportation section of the current comprehensive plan of the City of Wheat Ridge. Currently, the Wheat Ridge Comprehensive Plan shows this ROW as a local street, and none of the street has been constructed. Approval of this request could hinder the future plans of the City's comprehensive plan. However, it is likely that this street would be constructed only if and when the property surrounding it is developed. 3. That the proposed vacation will not have a negative impact on the infrastructure of the City of Wheat Ridge. Approval of this request could have a negative impact on the infrastructure of the City of Wheat Ridge. Future emergency access could be hampered if the request is approved, although currently there is access between Oak Street and Parfet Street by way of W. 46`h Avenue. 4. That adequate easements have been reserved for use and/or maintenance by the city or other utility agencies. Planning Commission WZ-03-03 & WV-03-01/Heine Currently, no existing utilities are in the right-of-way. Therefore, there may not be a need to retain a utility easement should the vacation be approved. Valley Water District currently has mainlines in Oak Street and Parfet Street, with stubs for private properties already in place. Based on the proposed conservation area, there is likely no need for future waterline easements through the property. VII. STAFF CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATION Staff concludes that the proposed zone change is more consistent with the Comprehensive Plan than the existing zoning. The zone change will not negatively impact adjacent properties nor will it impact the supply of light and air to neighboring properties. The proposed zone change will not cause drainage problems nor will it cause traffic congestion in the area. Therefore staff recommends APPROVAL of Case No. WZ-03-03. Staff concludes that the proposed right-of-way vacation is not in conformance with city's comprehensive plan, and that the vacation could hamper future emergency services. If the ROW is vacated, it should be done only if the zone change request is approved. Staff recommends DENIAL of Case No. WV-03-01. VIII. RECOMMENDED MOTIONS Case No. WZ-03-03 Option A: "I move to recommend approval of Case No. WZ-03-03, a request for approval of a rezoning from Residential-One C (R-IC) to Conservation District, for property located at 4650 Parfet Street, for the following reasons: 1. The change in zone is compatible with the surrounding area. 2. The change in zone will not adversely affect the public health, safety or welfare. 3. The change in zone will conserve numerous mature trees, and provide a noise buffer from I-70 to the north. 4. The change in zone will provide social and physical benefits to the surrounding area and community." 5. The change in zone to Conservation District will be more consistent with the Comprehensive Plan Designation of Agricultural Estate Residential, then the current zoning of R-1 C. Option B: "I move to recommend denial for Case No. WZ-03-03, a request for approval of a rezoning from Residential-One C (R-1 C) to Conservation District, for property located at 4650 Parfet Street, for the following reasons: Case No. WV-03-01 Option A: Planning Commission 6 WZ-03-03 & WV-03-O1/Heine " I move to recommend denial of Case No. V ATV-03-01, a request for approval of a right-of-way vacation for unused right-of-way for W. 46 ° Place, located between Parfet Street and Oak Street, for the following reasons: 1. The requested vacation could hamper future emergency services to the neighborhood. 2. It is inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan. 3. Public Works recommends against the vacation since most of the right-of-way for W. 46" Avenue has already been acquired. 4. Approval of the request could have a negative impact on the future infrastructure of the City of Wheat Ridge." Option B: "I move to recommend approval of Case No. WV-03-01, a request for approval of a right-of-way vacation for unused right-of-way for W. 46" Place, located between Parfet Street and Oak Street, for the following reasons: 1„ EXHIBIT 1 Over 5 years ago I purchased a parcel of land, 3.7 acres between Parfet Street and Oak Street, from a developer who purchased this land 2 weeks earlier to build 18 homes. This piece of land had been abandoned for at least 50 years and left to evolve in its own natural state. It harbored some wildlife - fox, racoons, owls, a few species of birds. The air is fresh and the woods buffer the noise and filter pollution from I-70 about a short block away. When my neighbors found out, they thanked me for saving their neighborhood. I realized then that I was conserving two very important habitats. When I entered into this place I felt a need for more food chains for greater diversity, a better ecosystem (balance). My first act was to clean out a lot of horse fencing, barbed wire, and replace the fencing on Parfet Street and Oak Street. Then came the Girl Scouts to clean the trash and plant a few things. They carne again with hand-made nest boxes to attract bluebirds. I bought some shares to the Lane ditch and later to the Brown & Baugh. I could not reclaim the shallow wells, nor could we figure out how to bring in electricity, so I bought a water tap to irrigate new trees and shrubs. I brought the ditch onto the property within the past few years but it hasn't been too dependable or developed. With the city water I have been able to plant food-producing trees and shrubs and flowers. The last 3 years most have been put on a drip system to conserve and help to establish them. Most are native and xeric. I added rock piles in the historic meadow for more habitat. Then came the shelter and observation deck. It provides a broad view of the area on all 4 sides. When inside there is even less impact on viewing the property with large recycled windows. They are shutter windows that can be opened. Then, I decided to add 2 rocking chairs, and in time my reference books. It is a quiet place and a shelter from the elements. I often have kids come in from the neighborhood and schools in the neighborhood. I always welcome them supervise them, and educate when they ask to come in. In winter, neighborhood kids come to my house to paint more bird nesting boxes, make pine cone birdseed holders to hang for the holidays, and bake cookies for themselves. This year I finally got electricity to the shelter, and warmth. Some 4`s grade boys from Alpine School asked if they could come one day; they come often now; they made walking sticks, bumble bee habitat, help me fill bird feeders and just hang out and discover as they come. Kids eventually learn the concepts of this special place. In fall we clean out birdhouses - discover the different nests and what birds made them. If they can come at the right time they can hear hungry baby birds waiting to be fed. This summer a small pond or what I call a watering hole was built. Past years we depended on ditch water and small bird baths. With the drought the ditch has been closed down by the end of June. This summer some birds would come to my hose when I was hand watering for a cool shower or drink. It was a very stressful summer for many. I did not let the usual machine work or trucks come in due to the dryness. I have eliminated teenage gatherings on the property and gained respect for my endeavors. I always believe that positive things bring respect. I always have time for anyone that asks to come into this special place. Not only do I get a chance to educate, the kids often teach me about life. I have a certificate from the National Wildlife Federation for "Backyard Wildlife Habitat". I also monitor for invasive weeds. I had a man from the state come in several years ago to help me identify the vegetation and grasses. He was suspicious of a thistle. It turned out to be Canadian thistle. So it is being reckoned with I constructed several raised flower beds for easier management. All flower plants attract many pollinators such as bees, butterflies, birds and hummingbirds. It is a very active place for these beneficial insects, etc. I also supply host plants for some butterfly species; the rest are already on the property. This July was a big pay-off for me. Non-stop hummingbirds to the flower gardens or nectar feeders. They stayed till Labor Day weekend. I believe they came down early because of the drought. I think they will come through again and again, now that I am on their route. They have an incredible memory. Why do I do what I do? Connecting to Nature enriches my life. I have a role in helping Nature, sharing and enriching other lives along the way, whether it be human nature or nature in our ever- shrinking natural world. We all live on a very small planet, caring for it can help secure our future. Some neighborhood parents appreciate the time I spend with the kids and the supervision I provide. These kids are a blast. Not only do I get to educate and share but they teach me many things along the way. I have a 13 year old that has come for about 3 years now. She has a great concept of the property; she teaches when kids come in and she also helps with maintenance and loves to repair the drip system the wildlife chew on. About once a year I have visitors from the National Wildlife Federation, a naturalist from the Nature Conservancy, and the Audubon Society of Boulder. They are very supportive and interested in my progress and what I am doing to improve this natural area. I do what I can to help support some of their educational programs in Colorado for Children. This summer I even had a visit from the President of the National Wildlife Federation. I hear the landscape crews fight the boss for who gets to come and plant. It is a very special place for them to come to. They enjoy the open space and working toward protecting this land for the wildlife. Citizens see so much land now being developed that it hurts, so this land means a lot to them. They share my goals. I even had a few visits from the man who wanted to develop this property. He gives me advice to better the birds in here; he likes nature. Attached is a list of trees and shrubs planted in the past 5 years to enhance this natural area, and a bird and wildlife list that grows longer every year with these improvements.

The motion passed 6-0 with Commissioner THOMPSON and MILLER absent. Commissioner COOPER offered a friendly amendment to the original motion by Commissioner COLLINS that language be added under G. Additional Requirements, (a) as follows: within a Conservation District exceptfor noxious weeds as defned in state statutes. The amendment was accepted by Commissioners COLLINS and SNOW. The amended motion passed 6-0 with Commissioners THOMPSON and MILLER absent 8. OLD BUSINESS There was no old business to come before the Commission. 9. NEW BUSINESS A. Discussion of Residential Setback Standards (ZOA-01-02) Alan White presented this matter and reviewed the staff report of June 14, 2001, regarding changes recommended by the Wheat Ridge United Neighborhoods to revise the required minimum side and rear yard setbacks in the residential zone districts; and to eliminate the exceptions to setbacks in Section 26-611. It was the recommendation of staff that the residential setbacks need to be revised to be consistent with lot sizes and lot widths and to be consistent among the same uses in different zone districts; that the five-feet per story additional setback should be used sparingly; and that the setback exceptions should remain. Commissioner SNOW stated that she did not believe any side yard setbacks should ever be less than five feet. Chair McNAMEE stated her opinion that front porches which are not enclosed should be allowed to encroach into a setback. She expressed concern that the R-1 C zone district has smaller lots and severe setback restrictions would make it impossible for homeowners to expand their houses. Commissioner BRINKMAN stated she would not have a problem with more restrictive setbacks for new construction and less restrictive setbacks for a "pop-top" to an existing structure. Alan White commented that he would interpret the provision allowing an addition to be built in-line with the existing wall to mean vertically as well as horizontally.

Case No. ZOA-01-01: (continued from July 5, 2001) -An ordinance amending Article II of Chapter 26 of the Wheat Ridge Code of Laws concerning the addition of a Conservation Zoning District. Alan White reviewed the staff report comparing the public facilities and conservation zone districts. Commissioner BRINKMAN inquired as to the intent of the ordinance. Alan White explained that when Chapter 26 was adopted, Council gave direction to staff to come up with regulations for a conservation zone district. No other direction was given. Since it is a change to Chapter 26, the Planning Commission is to review it and forward recommendations to City Council. It was moved by Commissioner COLLINS and seconded by Commissioner SNOW that the ordinance amending Article II of Chapter 26 of the Wheat Ridge Code of Laws concerning the addition of a Conservation Zoning District be recommended to City Council for approval. Commissioner SNOW offered a friendly amendment to item "e" under Permitt ed Accessory Uses to read "benches, picnic tables, and shelters. The amendment was accepted by Commissioner COLLINS. Commissioner SNOW offered a friendly amendment to add item "F" under Permitted Accessory Uses to read: f. Wildlife observation decks and platforms not to include boat docks. The amendment was accepted by Commissioner COLLINS. Commissioner SNOW offered a friendh. amendment to item "b" under Permitted Accessory Uses to read: parking lots and associated driveways and drive aisles, not to exceed fifty (50) parking spaces and, in no event closer than 3000 linear feet from any other parking lot. The amendment was accepted by Commissioner COLLINS. Commissioner BRINKMAN expressed concem that this ordinance is too limited to be applied to private property. The amended motion passed 6-0 with Commissioners THOMPSON and MILLER absent. It was moved by Commissioner SNOB' and seconded by Commissioner BRINKMAN that the following language be added to B. Permitted Uses: Private Property: Permitted accessory uses for private properties governed by this subsection B must be needed for and clearly accessory to the natural conservation purposes of this zone district and of the specific property.

I am certainly hoping that she will receive the conservation zoning designation for this site. I have been a Girl Scout Leader of Troop 1275 for the last ten years. Shortly after she acquired the property on Parfet, Karin invited my teenage girls to come for a day of "celebrating nature". In addition to giving a wonderful educational tour of the various wildlife living and using the area, she also explained the importance of encouraging appropriate plant growth for both foodsource and habitat for these animals. Because it was a lot that had not been "used" for a period of time, my girls thoroughly enjoyed the chance to do a service project of helping to clear trash that had blown in from previous years. All the time, Karin continued with fascinating facts about nature and the importance of maintaining the right kinds of open space to promote diversity in the animal populations we co-exist with. I have always thought that Karin is ver% much a "forward thinker". More and more we are all realizing that the urban way of life must be balanced with provisions for the continuation of wildlife - mammals, birds, insects - among us. It is an integral piece of what defines "quality of life" for us. Young and old are thrilled by the sight of a fox, pausing to assess a walker before gracefully sliding into the bushes The sound of an owi will bring any of us to a halt in our busy, worrying ways - as we search the trees for the potential view of this magnificent bird It is the quiet sounds of nature and the sight of unspoiled meadows that helps us regain perspective I believe this is why the voters of Colorado continue to express their opinions at the polls that open space is a priority It is the best thing we can do for ourselves now and for the generations to come. What makes Karin Heine so unique is that she has been willing to commit herself to this cause AS AN INDIVIDUAL' So ofien we just wait until government provides us with such projects. It is a real gift to the community that the Heine property is providing a vital function without demanding tax funds that are needed elsewhere. To mentor this sort of citizenship to the young people she educates is wonderful I commend Wheat Ridge for making it possible for private citizen: to provide "links between the major open spaces by dedicatin, these smaller prt%ate conservation lots - this is intelligent thinking both for the present and the future I believe the full value of such a designation will be realized years from now Thank you for encouraging Karin Heine in her efforts. It is for all of us that this conservation designation is needed Linda Sherman, 5108 Fig Street Golden, CO 80403 February 8, 2003 To Whom It May Concern, I live less than one block from the Bird Sanctuary Karen Heine has established. It is a wonderful addition to our rural neighborhood. I am seeing birds in my yard I have never seen before. I have seen red foxes on the property as well as wild rabbits, squirrels, raccoons, chipmunks, and of course an occasional skunk. I am wholly in favor of the change in zoning for the Bird Sanctuary. With the constant growth and urbanization of our state there is less and less habitat for wild life. Future generations at the rate we are putting everything under concrete and asphalt won't enjoy the privilege of seeing animals in nature! As is stands right now, animals and birds in nature are vanishing at an alarming rate as we continue to build more and more housing, industry and shopping malls in a state that all ready has major water problems. I teach for Denver public schools and every year there are fewer places to take my students to observe wild life in their natural habitats. I feel this would be a tremendous asset to our community and the metro area for future generations to enjoy and observe nature. I have watched the steady progress of improvements to the property since Karen started working on it. The addition of many flowerbeds, flowering trees, scrubs and perennial plants have greatly increased the appearance of the property as well as attracting wild life and birds. If you have any questions you may contact me afternoons or evenings at 303-421-5773. Sincerely, ; i% Karen Nelson !Je tAd c~ncferti9nc~cL s~c~~oor-t tf4,e lbs7se,rum+l rn 3oen(ny .

In 1984, a dispute arose between a potential buyer of 4650 Parfet Street (Bush Subdivision), and the City. The issue was regarding the official zoning of the property. The buyer contended that the property was zoned Residential -Three at the time of purchase, but the City recognized the property as Agricultural -One. On August 12, 1985, the disagreement adjudicated in Jefferson County District Court where a settlement was reached between the two parties to officially recognize the property as being zoned Residential -One C (R -1 C). Both sides provided assessments of the property, and a monetary amount that was agreeable to both was settled upon. Since then the property has been officially recognized as R -1 C by the City, and has remained as vacant land and is currently being used for wildlife habitat. Ordinance No. 1233 was approved by City Council on November 27, 2001, adopting the Conservation District zone district. COMMISSIONBOARD RECOMMENDATION: Planning Commission reviewed Case No. WZ -03 -03 on February 20, 2003, and recommends approval of the rezoning for the following reasons: 1. The change in zone is compatible with the surrounding area. 2. The change in zone will not adversely affect the public health, safety or welfare. 3. The change in zone will conserve numerous mature trees, and provide a noise buffer from I -70 to the north. 4. The change in zone will provide social and physical benefits to the surrounding area and community, and would also be a valuable asset to the city as a whole. 5. The change in zone to Conservation District will be more consistent with the Comprehensive Plan Designation of Agricultural Estate Residential than the current zoning of R -1 C. Planning Commission reviewed Case No. W V -03 -01 on February 20, 2003, and recommends approval of the right -of -way vacation for the following reasons: 1. Although it is inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan, it appears that the present public streets leave the city with adequate access for emergency services. 2. Allowing construction of a street at this site will negate the point of the site being zoned as a conservation district. 3. This vacation of right -of -way will be granted only if City Council approves the change in zoning. 4. Arvada Fire Department did not indicate they need this street for fire access. There were four people speaking in favor of the requests, and the applicant submitted a petition with sixty -one signatures in favor. STATEMENT OF THE ISSUES: There are no outstanding issues associated with the proposed rezoning or right -of -way vacation. ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED: None. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The City has received a one -time application fee for the rezoning application, and right -of -way vacation. No development can occur on the property if it is rezoned to Conservation District. RECOMMENDED MOTION: ZONE CHANGE: "I move to approve Council Bill No. , Case Number WZ- 03 -03, a request for a rezoning from Residential -One C to Conservation District, on first reading for property located at 4650 Parfet Street, ordered published, public hearing set for April 14, 2003 at 7:00 p.m. in the City Council Chambers, and that it take effect 15 days after final publication." or, "I move to deny Council Bill No. , Case Number WZ- 03 -03, a request for a rezoning from Residential -One C to Conservation District, on first reading for property located at 4650 Parfet Street because " RIGHT -OF -WAY VACATION: "I move to approve Council Bill No. , Case Number WV- 03 -01, a request to vacate an existing piece of right -of -way for W. 46` Place running between Oak Street and Parfet Street, on first reading, ordered published, public hearing set for April 14, 2003 at 7:00 p.m. in the City Council Chambers, and that it take effect 15 days after final publication." or, "I move to deny Council Bill No. , Case Number WV- 03 -01, a request to vacate an existing piece of right -of -way for W. 46 Place running between Oak Street and Parfet Street, on first reading because " Initiated by: Community Development Department Report Prepared by: Michael Pesicka (303) 235 -2845 Reviewed by: Meredith Reckert Attachments: 1.

The change in zone is compatible with the surrounding area. 2. The change in zone will not adversely affect the public health, safety or welfare. 3.

Case No. WZ-03-03: An application filed by Karin Heine for approval-of a rezoning from Residential-One C to Conservation District for property located at 4650 Parfet Street. B. Case No. WV-03-01: An application filed by Karin Heine for approval of right-of-way vacation for an unbuilt portion of West 46 h Place dedicated by the Bush Subdivision r u g between Parfet Street and Oak Street. These cases were presented by Mike Pesicka. He reviewed the staff report, entered all pertinent documents into the record and advised the Commission that there was jurisdiction to hear the case. He then entered a petition which was submitted by the applicant on Tuesday, February 18, into the record. Vice Chair SNOW read the petition as follows: "We the undersigned support the conservation zoning. This case will be going to the Planning Commission on February 20, 2003, Case Numbers WZ-03-03 and WV-03-01, to request a rezone and right-of-way vacation on 4650 Parfet Street from Residential-One C to Conservation Zone. With the Conservation Zone, we can continue to preserve and protect this natural resource for all future generations. " The petition was signed by residents of the neighborhood. Staff recommended approval of the zone change. Staff recommended denial of the street vacation because it could hamper future emergency services to the neighborhood, it is inconsistent with the COMPLAN, most of the right of way for West 46 b has already been acquired, and it could have a negative impact on the future infrastructure of the City. Commissioner PLUMMER commented that it appeared to him there would be adequate emergency access to the neighborhood even if the street should be vacated. Commissioner COOPER agreed with these comments. Commissioner McMILLIN agreed that it appeared there would be adequate emergency access to the neighborhood; however, he commented that he understood the position of public works to fight for every piece of city-owned right-of-way. Commissioner SNOW commented that there were no negative comments from the fire department regarding emergency access and she could see no reasonable use for the extension of 46a' Street through the subject property. Karin Heine 4600 Miller Street Karin Heine, the applicant, was sworn in by Vice Chair SNOW. She submitted an album containing photographs of the property for the Commission's review as well as two additional letters of support for the application. She explained she was seeking the conservation zoning for the property in order to continue to protect the wildlife habitat in its natural state. She stated that a road through the property would present a great disturbance to wildlife in the area. She stated that she has also received approval from Colorado Open Lands for a conservation easement on this property which would exist in perpetuity. Planning Commission Page 2 February 20, 2003 Commissioner McMILLIN commended Ms. Heine for using a piece of valuable property for public benefit. Commissioner COOPER commended Ms. Heine for her efforts in saving this property for the enjoyment of the public as well as the education of children. Commissioner McNAMEE expressed appreciation to Ms. Heine for taking steps to ensure that the conservation area would exist in perpetuity. Deeter Erkman 2155 Hooker Street, Denver Mr. Erkman was sworn in by Vice Chair SNOW. He appeared as a representative of Colorado Open Lands which works with property owners to preserve open lands around the state. He spoke in favor of the applications and stated that, although he generally works with much larger parcels, he was very impressed with the abundance of wildlife on the subject property and the applicant's outreach to the community by preserving this property. Ms. Heine stated that the only noxious weed found on her property was Canadian thistle and she is in the process of eradicating the weed. Ron Selstad 23461 Morning Rose Drive Mr. Selstadt was sworn in by Vice Chair SNOW. He is the realtor who helped the applicant acquire the subject property which had previously been sold to a housing developer. Ms. Heine purchased the property from the developer. He testified that the estimated value for the property under the present zoning would be about $350,000 and the estimated value under conservation zoning would be about $150,000. He commended Ms. Heine for placing the community's interests above her financial interest in this property. In regard to the street vacation, he believed that, since the neighborhood is built up, no additional roadway is needed. If the street were extended through the property it would be against the spirit and intent of the conservation zoning and would destroy the wildlife habitat. Kim Fusilier 10645 West 46`n Avenue Ms. Fuseler was sworn in by Vice Chair SNOW. She stated that she has helped the applicant plant vegetation on the property over the past three years and, in the process, she gained a valuable education about plants and wildlife. Don Peterson 9945 West 34t' Drive Mr. Peterson was sworn in by Chair SNOW AFT He spoke in favor of the applications. It was moved by Commissioner McNAMEE and seconded by Commissioner PLUMMER to recommend approval of Case No. WZ-03-03, a request for approval of a rezoning from Residential-One C to Conservation District, for property located at 4650 Parfet Street, for the following reasons: Planning Commission Page 3 February 20, 2003 1. The change in zone is compatible with the surrounding area. 2. The change in zone will not adversely affect the public health, safety or welfare. 3. The change in zone will conserve numerous mature trees, and provide a noise buffer from I-70 to the north. 4. The change in zone will provide social and physical benefits to the surrounding area and community. 5. The change in zone to Conservation District will be more consistent with the Comprehensive Plan Designation of Agricultural Estate Residential than the current zoning of R-1C. Vice. Chair SNOW offered a friendly amendment to No. 4 to state that the change in zone would also be a valuable asset to the city as a whole. The amendment was accepted by Commissioners McNAMEE and PLUMMER. It was moved by Commissioner McNAMEE and seconded by Commissioner COOPER to recommend approval of Case No. WV-03-01, a request for approval of a right-of-way vacation for unused right-of-way for West 46`x' Place, located between Parfet Street and Oak Street, for the following reasons: 1. Although it is inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan, it appears that the present public streets leave the city with adequate access for emergency services. 2. Allowing construction of a street at this site will negate the point of the site being zoned as a conservation district. 3. This vacation of right-of-way will be granted only if City Council approves the change in zoning. The motion passed 6-0 with Commissioner WEISZ absent. L.41RAFT d Commissioner McMILLIN commented that the city would be receiving a gift of great value in exchange for a street vacation on 46s' Place which is of virtually no value. He also commented 460' is a "Place" and that fragmentary streets are usually designated as "Place" rather than "Street." Vice Chair SNOW offered a friendly amendment to add a fourth reason: The fire department did not indicate they need this street for fire access. The amendment was accepted by Commissioners McNAMEE and COOPER The motion passed 6-0 with Commissioner WEISZ absent. C. Case No. ZOA-03-01: An ordinance amending Section 26-614 of the Wheat Ridge Code of Laws concerning trash storage area screening. This case was presented by Meredith Reckert. She reviewed the staff report, entered all pertinent documents into the record and advised the Commission that there was jurisdiction to hear the case. She presented slides of various trash dumpster situations in the city. She distributed copies of the definition of recycling dumpsters for the Commission's information.

Planning Commission WZ-03-03 & WV-03-01/Heine I. REQUEST The applicant is requesting approval of a rezoning of property located at 4650 Parfet Street from Residential-One C (R-1 C) to Conservation District, and approval of vacation of right-of-way for W. 46" Place running from Parfet Street to Oak Street (Exhibit I, Applicant Letter). The purpose of the rezoning is to allow for the land to stay in its natural state as a wildlife sanctuary. The applicant/owner does not reside on the property. A structure (observation deck) does exist on the property and is presently positioned in the right-of-way. Pursuant to section 26-221(5)(B)(b) "Wildlife observation decks and platforms, not including boat docks are permitted as an accessory use in the Conservation District." If the property were redeveloped with the current zoning, fifteen single-family residences would be allowed. Currently, there is vehicular access through a padlocked gate at the southeast comer of the property. There are currently three padlocked pedestrian gates, two on the eastern property line and one on the western property line. Commencing at Oak Street, the right-of-way measures 50' in width for a distance of 247.96', then narrowing to a width of 24' for a distance of 266.00' ending at Parfet Street. At present, the ROW is not improved and is not being used for access to the property. II. CASE HISTORY The property in question is approximately 160,631 square feet in size and fronts on Parfet Street (west) and Oak Street (east) (Exhibit2, Vicinity Map). It is currently platted as Lots 1, 2 and 3 of the Bush Subdivision, which was approved on April 30, 1960 by the Jefferson County Planning Commission. In 1984, a dispute arose between a potential buyer of 4650 Parfet Street, and the City. The issue was regarding the official zoning of the property. The buyer contended that the property was zoned Residential-Three (R-3) at the time of purchase, but the City recognized the property as Agricultural-One (A-1). Eventually, the disagreement adjudicated in Jefferson County District Court where a settlement was reached between the two parties to officially recognize the property as being zoned Residential-One C (R-1C). Both sides provided assessments of the property, and a monetary amount that was agreeable to both was settled upon. Since then the property has been officially recognized as R-1C by the City of Wheat Ridge. The applicant has submitted a site plan/survey (Exlnbi't 3) showing the boundaries and lots of the Bush Subdivision. A legal description and map have also been submitted describing and illustrating the existing ROW (Exhibit 4). In November of 2001, City Council approved Ordinance No. 1233 establishing the Conservation District zone district. Attached are copies of minutes from Planning Commission and City Council (Exhibit 5'), and a copy of the existing legislation (Exhibit-,6). III. NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING A meeting for neighborhood input was held on December 17, 2003. The following persons were in attendance: Planning Commission 2 WZ-03-03 & WV-03-O1/Heine Michael Pesicka - City Staff Karen Heine - Owner/applicant Ron Selstad - representing applicant, 23461 Morning Rose Drive, Golden Monica Selstad - 23461 Morning Rose Drive, Golden Ruben Engelhardy - 4615 Parfet Street Claudia Worth - 4650 Oak Street Kim Fusilier - 10645 W. 46th Avenue Larry Welshon - Principal at Alpine Valley School, 4501 Parfet Street Ethan Welshon - representing Alpine Valley School, 4501 Parfet Street John Bellegante - 4760 Parfet Street Molly Nutt - 4695 Parfet Street The following issues were discussed: -Area residents in attendance were supportive of the property remaining in a natural state -No concerns were raised regarding vegetation, drainage or traffic. -Everyone welcomed the idea of the property remaining undeveloped -There was concern raised that the right-of-way would not be vacated -Residents were supportive of the request to rezone to Conservation District IV. AGENCY REFERRALS The Wheat Ridge Public Works Department has stated that, as a general policy, they do not support requests for ROW vacations. Public Works recommends not vacating the ROW since most of the future street ROW has already been acquired, and vacating the ROW could inhibit future emergency services. Wheat Ridge Parks & Recreation Department expressed concern regarding control of noxious weeds. Valley Water District can serve the property if future needs arise. Arvada Fire Department can serve the property, and no concerns regarding weed fires was raised. Jefferson County Department of Health and Environment has no concerns. Agencies contacted but not responding: Fruitdale Sanitation, Xcel Energy, Brown & Baugh Ditch Company, AT&T Broadband, Qwest Communications, Wheat Ridge Police Department, Wheat Ridge Forestry Division. V. CRITERIA Zone Change Staff has the following comments regarding the criteria used to evaluate a change in zoning: That the existing zone classification currently recorded on the official zoning maps of the City of Wheat Ridge is an error. The existing zone classification on the official zoning map is not in error. The property currently has Residential-One C zoning. Planning Commission WZ-03-03 & WV-03-O1/Heine 2. That a change in character in the area has occurred due to installation of public facilities, other zone changes, new growth trends, deterioration, or development transitions, and that the evidence supports the finding of the following Surrounding neighborhoods have remained unchanged for years. No development is being proposed for the area, and the current use remains in character with the existing low-density residential and agricultural uses that border the property to the north, south, and west. 3. That the change of zone is in conformance, or will bring the property into conformance, with the City of Wheat Ridge Comprehensive Plan goals, objectives and policies, and other related policies or plans for the area. The Comprehensive Plan future land use map designates that this property should consist of Agricultural and Estate Residential (AER) uses (Not to exceed one dwelling unit per acre). The AER designation describes the desired character as "neighborhoods with very low density housing and a predominantly rural character." Desired attributes consist of: well maintained dwellings, lots comprised of primarily open lands, allowed to raise domesticated farm or ranch animals, ability to construct accessory structures that assist in the production of value-added agricultural products, private and unpaved roads, and densities not to exceed one dwelling unit per acre. There are no existing dwelling units on the property, and no new units as part of this zone change are allowed in the Conservation District. Agricultural-One zoning borders the property to the north, south and west, and R-2 zoning lies to the east. If developed under R-1C zoning, 15 units could be developed on this property. A change to Conservation District will more closely match the Comprehensive Plan designation then the current zoning of R-1C. 4. That the proposed change of zone is compatible with the surrounding area and there will be minimal adverse impacts considering the benefits to be derived. The property in questions is abutted on the west by A-1 zoning and an existing single-family residence. It is abutted on the north and south by A-1 zoning and existing single-family residences with ancillary agricultural uses. Therefore, the proposed change in zoning would be more compatible with the immediate surrounding area then the property is with the present zoning of R-1C. 5. That there will be social, recreational, physical and/or economic benefits to the community derived by the change of zone; and Physical benefits could be derived through leaving the property in its natural state, which could result in lower noise levels from I-70 to the north for the surrounding neighborhood, and numerous mature trees will be conserved with this proposal. The applicant provided staff with letters and petitions from surrounding neighbors, and from students at Alpine Valley School in support of the rezone and ROW vacation. Alpine Valley considers the property a valuable resource that would remain available for use by school children and the community. (Exhibit 7, Petitions & Letters). 6. That adequate infrastructure/facilities are available to serve the type of uses allowed by the change of zone, or that the applicant will upgrade and provide such where they do not exist or are under capacity. All agencies are currently able to serve the property and can continue to do so with the proposed zone change. Planning Commission 4 WZ-03-03 & WV-03-01/Heine That the change of zone will not adversely affect public health, safety or welfare by creating excessive traffic congestion, creating drainage problems, or seriously reducing light and air to adjacent properties. The proposed rezoning will not create any adverse public health, safety or welfare issues. Traffic congestion should not be increased since no new development is being proposed. No paving or grading, which could impact drainage, will occur on the site. Light and air to adjacent properties should not be impact with this request. 8. That the change of zone will not create an isolated or spot zone district unrelated to adjacent or nearby areas. Currently, the subject property is zoned R-1C, which is unrelated to any adjacent zoning in the neighborhood. Rezoning the property to Conservation District may constitute spot zoning, but would be more compatible with the A-1 zoning which abuts the property to the north, south and west. VI. RIGHT-OF-WAY VACATION Before a street right-of-way vacation is recommended for approval, the applicant shall show and Planning Commission shall make the following determinations: 1. That the proposed vacation will not leave any adjoining land without access to an established public right-of-way. If approved, the proposed vacation will not leave any adjoining land without access to an established pubic road, as there are public streets on three sides (Parfet, Oak and W. 46`" Ave). The property to the north has ROW access to Parfet Street and Oak Street. Properties to the west and south have ROW access to Parfet Street, and properties to the east have ROW access to Oak Street and W. 46ffi Avenue. If the ROW is vacated none of this will change. 2. That the proposed vacation is in conformity with the most recently enacted goals and policies of the transportation section of the current comprehensive plan of the City of Wheat Ridge. Currently, the Wheat Ridge Comprehensive Plan shows this ROW as a local street, and none of the street has been constructed. Approval of this request could hinder the future plans of the City's comprehensive plan. However, it is likely that this street would be constructed only if and when the property surrounding it is developed. 3. That the proposed vacation will not have a negative impact on the infrastructure of the City of Wheat Ridge. Approval of this request could have a negative impact on the infrastructure of the City of Wheat Ridge. Future emergency access could be hampered if the request is approved, although currently there is access between Oak Street and Parfet Street by way of W. 46 b Avenue. 4. That adequate easements have been reserved for use and/or maintenance by the city or other utility agencies. Planning Commission WZ-03-03 & WV-03-01/Heine Currently, no existing utilities are in the right-of-way. Therefore, there may not be a need to retain a utility easement should the vacation be approved. Valley Water District currently has mainlines in Oak Street and Parfet Street, with stubs for private properties already in place. Based on the proposed conservation area, there is likely no need for future waterline easements through the property. VII. STAFF CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATION Staff concludes that the proposed zone change is more consistent with the Comprehensive Plan than the existing zoning. The zone change will not negatively impact adjacent properties nor will it impact the supply of light and air to neighboring properties. The proposed zone change will not cause drainage problems nor will it cause traffic congestion in the area. Therefore staff recommends APPROVAL of Case No. WZ-03-03. Staff concludes that the proposed right-of-way vacation is not in conformance with city's comprehensive plan, and that the vacation could hamper future emergency services. If the ROW is vacated, it should be done only if the zone change request is approved. Staff recommends DENIAL of Case No. WV-03-01. VIII. RECOMMENDED MOTIONS Case No. WZ-03-03 Option A: "I move to recommend approval of Case No. WZ-03-03, a request for approval of a rezoning from Residential-One C (R-1C) to Conservation District, for property located at 4650 Parfet Street, for the following reasons: 1. The change in zone is compatible with the surrounding area. 2. The change in zone will not adversely affect the public health, safety or welfare. 3. The change in zone will conserve numerous mature trees, and provide a noise buffer from I-70 to the north. 4. The change in zone will provide social and physical benefits to the surrounding area and community." 5. The change in zone to Conservation District will be more consistent with the Comprehensive Plan Designation of Agricultural Estate Residential, then the current zoning of R-1C. Option B: "I move to recommend denial for Case No. WZ-03-03, a request for approval of a rezoning from Residential-One C (R-1C) to Conservation District, for property located at 4650 Parfet Street, for the following reasons: 1." Case No. WV-03-01 Option A: Planning Commission WZ-03-03 & WV-03-01/Heine " I move to recommend denial of Case No. WV-03-0 1, a request for approval of a right-of-way vacation for unused right-of-way for W. 46 s Place, located between Parfet Street and Oak Street, for the following reasons: 1. The requested vacation could hamper future emergency services to the neighborhood 2. It is inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan. 3. Public Works recommends against the vacation since most of the right-of-way for W. 46v" Avenue has already been acquired. 4. Approval of the request could have a negative impact on the future infrastructure of the City of Wheat Ridge." Option B: "I move to recommend approval of Case No. WV-03-01, a request for approval of a right-of-way vacation for unused right-of-way for W. 46`" Place, located between Parfet Street and Oak Street, for the following reasons: 1." EXHIBIT 1 Over 5 years ago I purchased a parcel of land, 3.7 acres between Parfet Street and Oak Street, from a developer who purchased this land 2 weeks earlier to build 18 homes. This piece of land had been abandoned for at least 50 years and left to evolve in its own natural state. It harbored some wildlife - fox, racoons, owls, a few species of birds. The air is fresh and the woods buffer the noise and filter pollution from I-70 about a short block away. When my neighbors found out, they thanked me for saving their neighborhood. I realized then that I was conserving two very important habitats. When I entered into this place I felt a need for more food chains for greater diversity, a better ecosystem (balance). My first act was to clean out a lot of horse fencing, barbed wire, and replace the fencing on Parfet Street and Oak Street. Then came the Girl Scouts to clean the trash and plant a few things. They came again with hand-made nest boxes to attract bluebirds. I bought some shares to the Lane ditch and later to the Brown & Baugh. I could not reclaim the shallow wells, nor could we figure out how to bring in electricity, so I bought a water tap to irrigate new trees and shrubs. I brought the ditch onto the property within the past few years but it hasn't been too dependable or developed. With the city water I have been able to plant food-producing trees and shrubs and flowers. The last 3 years most have been put on a drip system to conserve and help to establish them. Most are native and xeric. I added rock piles in the historic meadow for more habitat. Then came the shelter and observation deck. It provides a broad view of the area on all 4 sides. When inside there is even less impact on viewing the property with large recycled windows. They are shutter windows that can be opened. Then, I decided to add 2 rocking chairs, and in time my reference books. It is a quiet place and a shelter from the elements. I often have kids come in from the neighborhood and schools in the neighborhood. I always welcome them, supervise them, and educate when they ask to come in. In winter, neighborhood kids come to my house to paint more bird nesting boxes, make pine cone birdseed holders to hang for the holidays, and bake cookies for themselves. This year I finally got electricity to the shelter, and warmth. Some 4' grade boys from Alpine School asked if they could come one day; they come often now; they made walking sticks, bumble bee habitat, help me fill bird feeders and just hang-out and discover as they come. Kids eventually learn the concepts of this special place. In fall we clean out birdhouses - discover the different nests and what birds made them. If they can come at the right time they caq hear hungry baby birds waiting to be fed. This summer a small pond or what I call a watering hole was built. Past years we depended on ditch water and small bird baths. With the drought the ditch has been closed down by the end of June. This summer some birds would come to my hose when I was hand watering for a cool shower or drink. It was a very stressful summer for many. I did not let the usual machine work or trucks come in due to the dryness. I have eliminated teenage gatherings on the property and gained respect for my endeavors. I always believe that positive things bring respect. I always have time for anyone that asks to come into this special place. Not only do I get a chance to educate, the kids often teach me about life. I have a certificate from the National Wildlife Federation for "Backyard Wildlife Habitat". I also monitor for invasive weeds. I had a man from the state come in several years ago to help me identify the vegetation and grasses. He was suspicious of a thistle. It turned out to be Canadian thistle. So it is being reckoned with. I constructed several raised flower beds for easier management. All flower plants attract many pollinators such as bees, butterflies, birds and hummingbirds. It is a very active place for these beneficial insects, etc. I also supply host plants for some butterfly species; the rest are already on the property. This July was a big pay-off for me. Non-stop hummingbirds to the flower gardens or nectar feeders. They stayed till Labor Day weekend. I believe they came down early because of the drought. I think they will come through again and again, now that I am on their route. They have an incredible memory. Why do I do what I do? Connecting to Nature enriches my life. I have a role in helping Nature, sharing and enriching other lives along the way, whether it be human nature or nature in our ever- shrinking natural world. We all live on a very small planet, caring for it can help secure our future. Some neighborhood parents appreciate the time I spend with the kids and the supervision I provide. These kids are a blast. Not only do I get to educate and share but they teach me many things along the way. I have a 13 year old that has come for about 3 years now. She has a great concept of the property; she teaches when kids come in and she also helps with maintenance and loves to repair the drip system the wildlife chew on. About once a year I have visitors from the National Wildlife Federation, a naturalist from the Nature Conservancy, and the Audubon Society of Boulder. They are very supportive and interested in my progress and what I am doing to improve this natural area. I do what I can to help support some of their educational programs in Colorado for Children. This summer I even had a visit from the President of the National Wildlife Federation. I hear the landscape crews fight the, boss for who gets to come and plant. It is a very special place for them to come to. They enjoy the open space and working toward protecting this land for the wildlife. Citizens see so much land now being developed that it hurts, so this land means a lot to them. They share my goals. I even had a few visits from the man who wanted to develop this property. He gives me advice to better the birds in here; he likes nature.

Additional Requirements, (a) as follows: within a Conservation District except for noxious weeds as defined in state statutes. The amendment was accepted by Commissioners COLLINS and SNOW. The amended motion passed 6-0 with Commissioners THOMP SON and MILLER absent 8. OLD BUSINESS There was no old business to come before the Commission. 9. NEW BUSINESS A. Discussion of Residential Setback Standards (ZOA-01-02) Alan White presented this matter and reviewed the staff report of June 14, 2001, regarding changes recommended by the Wheat Ridge United Neighborhoods to revise the required minimum side and rear yard setbacks in the residential zone districts; and to eliminate the exceptions to setbacks in Section 26-611. It was the recommendation of staff that the residential setbacks need to be revised to be consistent with lot sizes and lot widths and to be consistent among the same uses in different zone districts; that the five-feet per story additional setback should be used sparingly; and that the setback exceptions should remain. Commissioner SNOW stated that she did not believe any side yard setbacks should ever be less than five feet. Chair McNAMEE stated her opinion that front porches which are not enclosed should be allowed to encroach into a setback. She expressed concern that the R-1C zone district has smaller lots and severe setback restrictions. would make it impossible for homeowners to expand their houses. Commissioner BRINKMAN stated she would not have a problem with more restrictive setbacks for new construction and less restrictive setbacks for a "pop-top" to an existing structure. Alan White commented that he would interpret the provision allowing an addition to be built in-line with the existing wall to mean vertically as well as horizontally. Planning Commission Page 3 July 19, 2001 6. PUBLIC FORUM There was no one to appear before the Commission PUBLIC HEARING A. Case No. ZOA-01-01: (continued from July 5, 2001) - An ordinance amending Article II of Chapter 26 of the Wheat Ridge Code of Laws concerning the addition of a Conservation Zoning District. Alan White reviewed the staff report comparing the public facilities and conservation zone districts. Commissioner BRINKMAN inquired as to the intent of the ordinance. Alan White explained that when Chapter 26 was adopted, Council gave direction to staff to come up with regulations for a conservation zone district. No other direction was given. Since it is a change to Chapter 26, the Planning Commission is to review it and forward, recommendations to City Council. It was moved by Commissioner COLLINS and seconded by Commissioner SNOW that the ordinance amending Article H of Chapter 26 of the Wheat Ridge Code of Laws concerning the addition of a Conservation Zoning District be recommended to City Council for approval. Commissioner SNOW offered a friendly amendment to item "e" under Permitted Accessory Uses to read "benches, picnic tables, and shelters. The amendment was accepted by Commissioner COLLINS. Commissioner SNOW offered a friendly amendment to add item "F" under Permitted Accessory Uses to read: f. Wildlife observation decks and platforms not to include boat docks. The amendment was accepted by Commissioner COLLINS. Commissioner SNOW offered a friendly amendment to item "b" under Permitted Accessory Uses to read: parking lots and associated driveways and drive aisles, not to exceed fifty (50) parking spaces and, in no event closer than 3000 linear feet from any other parking lot. The amendment was accepted by Commissioner COLLINS. Commissioner BRINKMAN expressed concern that this ordinance is too limited to be applied to private property. The amended motion passed 6-0 with Commissioners THOMPSON and MILLER absent. It was moved by Commissioner SNOW and seconded by Commissioner BRINKMAN that the following language be added to B. Permitted Uses: Private Property: Permitted accessory uses for private properties governed by this subsection B must be needed for and clearly accessory to the natural conservation purposes of this zone district and of the speciflc property.

I am certainly hoping that she will receive the conservation zoning designation for this site. I have been a Girl Scout Leader of Troop 1275 for the last ten years. Shortly after she acquired the property on Parfet, Kann invited my teenage girls to come for a day of "celebrating nature". In addition to giving a wonderful educational tour of the various wildlife living and using the area, she also explained the importance of encouraging appropriate plant growth for both foodsource and habitat for these animals. Because it was a lot that had not been "used" for a period of time, my girls thoroughly enjoyed the chance to do a service project of helping to clear trash that had blown in from previous years. All the time, Karin continued with fascinating facts about nature and the importance of maintaining the right kinds of open space to promote diversity in the animal populations we co-exist with. I have always thought that Karin is very much a "forward thinker". More and more we are all realizing that the urban way of life must be balanced with provisions for the continuation of wildlife - mammals, birds, insects - among us. It is an integral piece of what defines "quality of life" for us. Young and old are thrilled by the sight of a fox, pausing to assess a walker before gracefully gliding into the bushes. The sound of an owl will bring any of us to a halt in our busy, worrying ways - as we search the trees for the potential view of this magnificent bird. It is the quiet sounds of nature and the sight of unspoiled meadows that helps us regain perspective. I believe this is why the voters of Colorado continue to express their opinions at the polls that open space is a priority. It is the best thing we can do for ourselves now and for the generations to come. What makes Karin Heine so unique is that she has been willing to commit herself to this cause AS AN INDIVIDUAL! So often we just wait until government provides us with such projects. It is a real gift to the community that the Heine property is providing a vital function without demanding tax funds that are needed elsewhere. To mentor this sort of citizenship to the young people she educates is wonderful. I commend Wheat Ridge for making it possible for private citizens to provide "links" between the major open spaces by dedicating these smaller private conservation lots - this is intelligent thinking both for the present and the future. I believe the full value of such a designation will be realized years from now. Thank you for encouraging Karin Heine in her efforts. It is for all of us that this conservation designation is needed.

Linda Sherman, eslasCayahoo com 5108 Fig Street Golden, CO 80403 February 8, 2003 To Whom It May Concern, I live less than one block from the Bird Sanctuary Karen Heine has established. It is a wonderful addition to our rural neighborhood. I am seeing birds in my yard I have never seen before. I have seen red foxes on the property as well as wild rabbits, squirrels, raccoons, chipmunks, and of course an occasional skunk. I am wholly in favor of the change in zoning for the Bird Sanctuary. With the constant growth and urbanization of our state there is less and less habitat for wild life. Future generations at the rate we are putting everything under concrete and asphalt won't enjoy the privilege of seeing animals in nature! As is stands right now, animals and birds in nature are vanishing at an alarming rate as we continue to build more and more housing, industry and shopping malls in a state that all ready has major water problems. I teach for Denver public schools and every year there are fewer places to take my students to observe wild life in their natural habitats. I feel this would be a tremendous asset to our community and the metro area for future generations to enjoy and observe nature. I have watched the steady progress of improvements to the property since Karen started working on it. The addition of many flowerbeds, flowering trees, scrubs and perennial plants have greatly increased the appearance of the property as well as attracting wild life and birds. If you have any questions you may contact me afternoons or evenings at 303-421-5773. Si ely - C \ re Nelson ~ U !n S 5 GtJ y ~ GC,u~e POSTING CERTIFICATION CASE NO.

Plan Agricultural Estate Res. (AER) Applicant/Owner Preliminary Proposal: Rezone to Conservation District, or create a land trust to keep the natural state of the land as it presently is. Will a neighborhood meeting need to be held prior to application submittal? YES Planning comments: Possibly create a conservation deed instead of rezoning. A rezone will consist of public hearings before Planning Commission and City Council. A Right-Of-Way (ROW) vacation may be requested for this proposal, but it would be at the discretion of City Council. A consolidation of the three parcels into one is an option. If the zoning stays the same, the property would be subject to weed cutting requirements of The City of Wheat Ridge Code of Laws. Public Works comments: Vacating ROW is not typically something Public Works looks favorably upon. Creating a perpetual conservation easement is a permanent solution, while someone else if they were to purchase the property can change a rezone. You may want to contact a land use attorney on how or if you can create a conservation easement. Building comments: Streetscape/Architectural Design comment Other comments: November 29, 2002 Dear Neighbors, 1, Karin lleine, am seeking to rezone a 3 acre piece of land at 4650 Parfet Street, currently zoned Residential-One C (R-1 C) to Conservation Zone. I am inviting you to come to a neighborhood input meeting at the Wheat Ridge Municipal building, located at 7500 West 29 h Avenue, to be held on Tuesday, December 17'. at 6 p.m. This land is important for a balance of open natural space in my neighborhood and for wildlife that call this place home, too. It is a quiet, pleasant place for neighbors and school children to come, visit, understand, learn, and observe other life under supervision. With the Conservation Zoning I can continue to preserve and improve this natural resource for all future generations in an ever shrinking natural world. The City of Wheat Ridge has adopted a requirement that prior to any application for Rezoning of property, a Minor or Major Subdivision, and for Special Use Permits an applicant must notify all residents and property owners within 600 feet and invite them to a Neighborhood Input Meeting. The purpose of this meeting is to allow the applicant to present his proposal to the neighborhood and give the neighborhood a forum to express their concerns, issues and desires. A staff Planner will attend the meeting to discuss City policies and regulations and the process involved, however, the Planner will remain impartial regarding viability of the project. Keep in mind that this is not a public hearing. Although a synopsis of the meeting will be entered as testimony, it is the public hearings in front of the Planning Commission and City Council where decisions are rendered. If you want input in the decision-making process, it is imperative that you attend the public hearings. The kind of concerns residents normally have include the following: - Is the proposal compatible with surrounding land uses and zoning? - Are there adequate utilities and services in place or proposed to serve the project? - What is the impact on our streets? - How will this proposal affect my property? - Where will the storm drainage go? How will the project be designed to enhance rather than detract from the neighborhood? What specific changes can be made in the proposal to make it more acceptable to me? If you have any questions, please call the Planning Department at (303) 235-2846.

To Form 21 hl,City Attorney CNB\53027\373368.02 -4- I 1 OF WHEgl City of Wheat Ridge Po Planning and Development Department Memorandum <ORP~O TO: Planning Commission _ FROM: Alan White, Planning and Development Director SUBJECT: Conservation Zone District DATE: May 29, 2001 At the hearing to consider this new zone district on May 17', the Commission requested a comparison of the Public Facilities and Conservation zone districts. The Public Facilities district is established to provide a zoning classification for property devoted to public or quasi public buildings and facilities, recognizing that such uses are unique, but should still be subject to land use regulation. Permitted uses in the district include parks, schools and governmental and quasi-governmental buildings, fire stations and public utility buildings with no outdoor storage; special uses include governmental and quasi-governmental buildings, fire stations and public utility buildings with outdoor storage. The Conservation district is established to provide a zoning classification for natural areas held in an undeveloped state by individuals, corporations or governments for natural resource and conservation purposes. Permitted uses are established for public and private property and include open space, wildlife habitat, scenic view corridors, and riparian habitat. Accessory uses are allowed only in publicly held conservatiori areas and these include trails, parking lots, restrooms, signs and information kiosks, and benches and picnic tables. The difference in the districts is in the intent. The Conservation district is intended for areas that are to remain relatively undeveloped and used for passive recreation, with only minimal improvements such as trails and benches.

Consider topping dead trees rather than removing the whole tree if safety is an issue. Leave vines, or plant native additions. ► Limit the size of your lawn for less mowing, less fertilizing, less watering, and less pollution. ► Avoid invasive exotic (non-native) plants. ► Supply a source of water - dripping or running water is a better attractant than still water. Provide and monitor nest boxes of various sizes. ► Leave some leaf litter on the ground. ► Stop using pesticides in your yard. ► Use only organic, slow release fertilizers, preferably your own compost, if needed. From Bird Gardens : Welcoming Wild Birds to Your Yard, by Stephen W. Kress (Editor) Brooklyn Botanic Garden's 21st-Century Gardening Series NATIONAL WILDLIFE FEDERATION& Lawn Reduction... Cut Your Lawn in Half. For over a century now, traditional American landscaping has focused on maintaining a perfectly manicured green lawn. Native trees, shrub masses, ground covers, prairie or meadow patches, flower beds, and attractively mulched areas are better environmental choices, for people and for wildlife. Did you know that... ...approximately 20 million U.S. acres are planted as residential lawn; ...a lawnmower pollutes as much in one hour as a car does driving for 350 miles; ...30-60% of the potable municipal water in the U.S. is used for maintaining lawns; ...67 million pounds of synthetic pesticides are used on U.S. lawns annually; and ...these lawn monocultures offer little habitat value for wildlife? Five good reasons to reduce your lawn: 1. Save time and money that you would normally spend on mowing and fertilizing (especially if you use a lawn service). 2. Increase your home's energy efficiency. 3. Attract and provide for wildlife visitors. 4. Conserve water. 5. Reduce mower pollution and decrease run-off from fertilizers and pesticides. If you are fed up with lawn maintenance, here are some alternatives to consider: • Native species as ground cover instead of grass • Native trees and/or shrub masses Water garden or pond • Rock garden • Mulched path • Annual or perennial bed • Meadow or prairie patch • Hedgerow • Organic vegetable garden • Butterfly or hummingbird garden BACKYARD WILDLIFE HABITAT, NATIONAL WU DLIFE FEDERATION® } ~V F '"'AC, 710N G i Cut Your Lawn - In Hall: by Beth Stout To make a prairie it takes a clover and one bee, One clover, and a bee, And revery. The revery alone will do If bees are few. Emily Dickinson Emily Dickinson, writing in the late 1800s, had it right - a prai- rie is more than just a treeless plain. Unfortunately, we are down to only remnants of our once vast native prairie, and in our modern Ameri- can grassland - the suburban lawn - even clover and bees are often no longer welcome. Unlike our native grasslands, which are home to a diversity of animal life, turf grass lawns have little or no habitat value for wildlife. The history of the lawn in America has its roots, so to speak, in the English country estate, where lawns provided sweeping vistas enjoyed by the aristocracy and were mowed and fertilized by flocks of sheep. Beginning in the 19" century, however, suburban Americans took to lawns like fish to water - and both fish and water have been adversely impacted ever since. Approximately 50-70 percent of our residential water is used for landscaping, most of it to water lawns, which total ap- proximately 20-30 million acres in the United States. And the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that nearly 70 million pounds of active pesticide ingredients are ap- plied to suburban lawns each year, helping to make polluted runoff the single largest source of water pollution nationwide, affecting ground water, lakes and streams, wildlife, and human health. A 1995 EPA compilation of state data collected in 1994 showed that urban runoff contributed to damage in more than 26,000 river and stream miles. And the use of gas-pow- ered lawn mowers contributes five percent of the nation's air pollution. A gas-powered lawnmower emits I I times the air pollution of a new car. The average American homeowner spends 40 hours a year mowing the lawn. Maintaining the "perfect" lawn - close- cropped, green, weedless, insect-free - requires our own time and energy (consider those blue-sky summer weekends spent mowing, edging, and moving hoses!), vast amounts of natural resources such as water and oil, and the use of a wide array of poisonous chemicals to kill everything from moss to clover. As a matter of fact, clover hasn't always been a "weed." It was traditionally included in grass seed mixtures because it is green all year, fixes nitrogen and improves the soil, coexists well with grasses in both native meadows and lawns and takes mowing. Not to mention that it's a larval host to some butterflies, pro- vides nectar to others and seeds for some game and songbirds - and is attractive to bees! Jerry and Claudia Delezenski of Wilton, California, (cer- tified Habitat number 26,496) own five acres in one of the last rural refuges in Sacramento County. When they pur- chased their property ten years ago, they reserved three acres as a grassland and created meandering paths for people to enjoy the wildlife it attracts. Over the last ten years they have been "watching the land transform into a refuge for all kinds of wildlife." By allowing succession to take place in the once mowed area, they have seen non-native invasive plants like yellow star thistle crowded out by native grasses and wildflowers like Cali- fornia poppies and vetch. "Every spring, at the end of the rainy season, for four to six weeks, we witness a profusion of color as different species bloom. Each week brings out a dif- ferent color in a timed display of nature at its showiest. We wonder what the former owners would think if they saw the alternative to the typical annual mowing." So many creatures are attracted to the Delezenski's property that they do not have to even put out supplemental feeders. Among the wildlife provided for are jackrabbits, garter and gopher snakes, voles, quail, burrowing owls, hawks, and hummingbirds. Here are some resources for learning more about the his- tory of lawns, their impact on our environment, and lawn al- ternatives, including planting and preserving meadow and prairie habitat.

Your support of The National Arbor Day Foundation entitles you to...a free 3-4' Red Maple tree with any order from the enclosed Tree Book ...and discounts of 33% to 56% on an outstanding selection of nut, fruit, flowering, and shade trees. Your help makes it possible for the Foundation to carry out vitally needed programs to save trees. Dear Member: on behalf of the Board of Trustees of The National Arbor Day Foundation, I want to thank you for your support. As a Foundation member, you are improving the quality of life, the lives of those around you, and the lives of generations yet unborn. The trees we plant benefit the whole world. They soon stretch up toward the sun giving shelter, shade, comfort, joy, beauty, and relief from the concrete jungle. They trap,dust, diminish smog, reduce traffic noise. They produce oxygen and moderate the temperature. They provide a home for wildlife. And by removing carbon dioxide from the air, trees help fight the greenhouse effect and the resulting drought and heat waves. Your support of The National Arbor Day Foundation enables our nonprofit organization to encourage tree planting and care cityside and countryside all across the United States... and, through Rain Forest Rescue, throughout the world! While our Foundation carries out a great many activities to encourage tree planting by the general public, there is one group whose tree-planting efforts we especially want to aid--the Foundation's own members.
