Jerry Roach also feels that property owners who could be affected by this should be notified individually; he owns a multi-family building and a vacant lot; questioned how these ordinances will affect his properties Nancy Snow, Chairperson of the Comprehensive Plan Committee and she is also on the Planning Commission, explained that they had four district meetings and one city-wide meeting and heard over and over again things about density; people are upset because many of the apartments in this City are too dense, there is no landscaping, no place to play, no place for seniors to walk; the whole point the law is being changed, is that people in the future will be conforming; if people don't have to meet new requirements, what is the point? WHEAT RIDGE CITY COUNCIL MINUTES August 11, 1997 Page -6- Lee Wedgwood wondered if Council realized how many duplex owners this will affect; people have not heard about this meeting, he highly recommended that the owners of multi- unit properties be given proper notice Ron Patera, a member of the Comprehensive Plan Review Committee, stated that this is good, solid legislation, a lot of input was taken in neighborhood meetings, asked that Council look at this objectively, review it carefully, and pass it as it is Motion by Mr Siler that Mr Dahl research the City Code to determine if it is necessary to have a new Ordinance to address single residences on R-2 and R-3 property and allow them to be rebuilt to their present configuration as an option in case they are destroyed, seconded by Mr Solano, carried 7-1 with Mrs Worth voting no Mr Dahl referred to the new version of the Ordinances he had supplied to Council, which is the version the Planning Commission has recommended.
