BUDGET AND APPROPRIATING SUMS OF MONEY TO THE VARIOUS
FUNDS AND SPENDING AGENCIES IN THE AMOUNTS SPECIFIED
BELOW FOR THE CITY OF WHEAT RIDGE, COLORADO, FOR THE
2005 BUDGET YEAR.
Resolution 28-2004 was introduced by Mrs. Rotola.
Motion by Mrs Rotola to approve Resolution 28-2004, seconded by Mrs Sang.
Mr DiTullio made the following disclosure statement: "Madame Mayor and members of
the Council, I have been advised by the City Attorney that I should disclose that I have a
family member who is an employee of the City I make this disclosure as required by
Charter Section 3 14 I would ask the City Attorney to comment on the need for this
disclosure"
Mr Dahl stated that Charter Section 3 14 only requires disclosure of the facts, which
may be a conflict. In this case, the action before the Council is the entire City budget
document. In this context, the vote on the matter will not be on any specific salary This
circumstance has come up in previous years with family members who are city
employees He concludes that, while the disclosure is required, now that it has been
made, Councilor DiTullio is entitled to vote on the budget.
(Attorney's note. Charter Section 3 14 requires Council Members to disclose "material or significant"
financial interests they have with the City Once the disclosure is made, it is up to the Council to take any
action I deems necessary, which could range from no action at all, up to a motion requiring the member to
abstain from voting on the matter, all depending upon the individual facts of the case)

ELECTED OFFICIALS' MATTERS
Mayor Cerveny stated the budget Council approved tonight is based on having to cut 1 Million
Dollars from the 2004 budget This includes laying off even more people, which we would
have had to do if the sales tax had not passed Since citizens approved the increase in sales
tax, in the next month or so, staff will be recommending a new 2005 budget, which will keep
the employee positions which would have ended with the 2005 austere budget Plans for
adding personnel to the Police Department, recommendations to maintain the Parks and
Recreation Department, make recommendations to increase staff time for business retention
and economic development Maybe there will be money to add to the CIP budget
City Clerk Pam Anderson thanked Election Commissioners Nick Scotella and Karin Gallup
for volunteering to work the ballot box on Election Day and to direct electors to their
appropriate precincts
Councilor Schulz appreciates the voters' confidence and is committed to make changes
responsibly and with reasonable restraint
Councilor Stites asked that constituents give input on the storm water drainage issue
Councilor Sang invited everybody to the potluck for Districts I and II which will be held on
-- Thursday, December 9, at the Richards Hart Estate from 6 30 to 9 30 P m
Councilor DiTullio is looking forward to the potluck and to citizens' input on the drainage
Councilor Berry stated that the economic foundation of this City is broken and the City,
because of its limited resources, has only been able to patch the resulting cracks in the walls
of our community, but not fix the underlying problems. The community, through the sales tax
increase, has given the City the means to fix our economic foundation However, the sales tax
increase is not a blank check and it alone will not solve our long term economic problems If
used wisely, it will allow Wheat Ridge to create the economic foundation we need to become a
sustainable community Adding programs such as weed management and large item pickup
at the cost of about $200,000 to the budget at this time is like patching wall cracks It takes
resources for fixing our true problems and those cracks will continue to appear until our
foundation is fixed The citizens have given the City their trust and the tools we need to build a
stronger community Council must pay back that trust and solve the public safety and long
term economic problems in the foundation of our community before we spend any money
fixing up our landscaping and other items.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Wheat RIdge Police Department IS ready to continue the implementation of the police
department computer project. In 2004, Phase Two of the mobile field reporting project was
budgeted for completion. This involved the addition of electronically reporting certain traffic
crashes in the marked patrol vehicles. This project is being temporarily postponed because the
police department will be reViewing, editing, and changing its report writing policies.
Additionally, the State of Colorado is changing the Colorado Accident Report, which is scheduled
to be in place in January of2006.
The Interim Police Chief has been actively reviewing and assessing the police department
computer project and recommends a different course of action. It is recommended that the
department implement a live scan fingerprint identification system. The Live Scan system will
electronIcally capture fingerprint and palm print images. These images will then be electronically
transmitted to the Colorado Bureau of Investigation and entered into their automated fingerprint
identification system.
This project has been thoroughly researched, and it is expected that this system will improve the
efficiency of our booking process of arrestee's. It is estimated there are approximately 200
arrestee's per month that are booked and processed through the Wheat Ridge Police Department.
The use of this system will further aId in the proper identification of person's in criminal cases
such as identlty theft and impersonatIOn. It is further expected that the system will result in less
administrative time, and will increase the availability of patrol officers on the street, and provide
investigator's with more time to investigate cases assigned to them.
The cost of this system, which includes an interface to our Records Management System, is
$61,122. The approved 2004 budget for Phase Two of the mobile field reporting project is
$38,000 and will be used towards the purchase of the live scan fingerprint system. It is requested
that a budget supplemental appropriation from the Police Investigation Fund undesignated
reserves, in the amount of $ 23,122, be approved to cover the remaining expenses of this project;
therefore, no additIOnal funding is requested from the general fund account.
The Police Investigation Fund was established in 1990 to track proceeds from seizures and forfeitures
of property pursuant to the Public NUIsance Policy and the Colorado Contraband Forfeiture Act.
These funds can be used only by the Police Department for purposes other than normal operating
needs.
COMMISSION/BOARD RECOMMENDATION
N/A
STATEMENT OF THE ISSUES
Identix, Incorporated IS the only authorized and approved provider of the Live Scan system by the
Colorado Bureau of InvestigatIOn. Logistic Systems, Inc. is the vendor for the police department
Records Management System. Thus, both vendors are considered as sole source vendors for this
project.

of property pursuant to the Public Nuisance Policy and the Colorado Contraband Forfeiture Act.
These funds can be used only by the Police Department for purposes other than normal operating
needs.
AL TERNA TIVES CONSIDERED
The alternative to this project is to continue manually obtaining finger prints and palm prints through
the use of an inked finger printing system.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The electronic finger printing and palm printing (Live Scan) system will be partially funded with
approved 2004 Budget funds in the amount of$38,000. The remaining $23,122 will be funded out of
the Police Investigation Fund, which does not impact the General or Capital Funds. Approval ofthis
budget supplemental appropriation will reduce the Police Investigation Fund undesignated reserve
fund to $49,920.52.
RECOMMENDED MOTION
"I move to approve Resolution No. 32-2004, Amending the Fiscal Year 2004 Police Investigation
Fund (17) Budget to Reflect the Approval of a Budget Supplemental Appropriation for the Purchase of
an Electromc Finger Printing and Palm Printing (Live Scan) System."

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
-
Section 39-5-128 of the Colorado Revised Statutes (C.R.S ) requires the Jefferson County Assessor to
certify to the City the total valuation for assessment of all taxable property located within the territorial
limits of the City of Wheat Ridge. The total net assessed valuation for the City for the year of2004 is
$378,555,210 which is a decrease of$372,460 compared to the year of2003. The City is also required
by this same section of the C.R,S. to officially certify the property tax mill levy to the Jefferson
County Board of County Commissioners by December 17,2004. The City's property tax mill levy
was temporarily reduced from 1.860 mills to 1 806 mills for the 2004 budget and will increase to
1 830 for the 2005 budget, raIsing $692,624 in property tax revenue, an increase of$8,28l over 2004.
Section 20 of Article X of the Constitution of Colorado, the Taxpayers Bill Of Rights (TABOR),
restricts increases in property tax revenue to inflation plus local growth (defined as the percentage
change in actual value of real property from construction of taxable real property improvements). This
allowable growth for the City in 2004 is 1.21 %. TABOR also restricts the City from raising the
property tax mill levy without voter approval unless the mill levy was temporarily reduced in a
prevIOus year.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
-
The Coors Brewing Company owns and operates the Rocky Mountain Bottling Company
manufacturing facility in the City of Wheat Ridge. They will be rebuilding and modernizing their two
furnaces during 2005 and 2006. The furnaces which melt the glass used for the bottles are the core
operations of the company.
Based on current estimates, the rebuild and modernization project will cost approximately $37.4
million dollars. It is estimated that approximately $20,000,000 would be subject to sales and use tax
as tangible property yielding $600,000 over three years of a one-time tax generation to the City. Coors
Brewing Company is asking for relief from the sales and use tax to rehab their existing furnaces.
Rehab of the furnaces would not result in additional burdens to the City but will result in a direct
influx of additional tax revenue. Coors has asked for relief from 50% of the property taxes for four
years as well as sales and use tax on the tangible property.
COMMISSIONIBOARD RECOMMENDATION:
None.
STATEMENT OF THE ISSUES:
In considering the request for relief, staff considered the followmg points:
Resolution No. 2004-34
Coors Tax Incentive Agreement
,2,
December 13, 2004
. Coors employs approximately 256 individuals at the bottling plant and currently operates the plant
at full capacity.
· The workforce is considered to be "skilled labor" by state labor department statistics, earnmg an
average salary of well over the state average.
· The plant currently pays approximately $200,000 per year in sales and use taxes on items
consumed in the manufacturing process.
· Property tax and additional revenue for the City through other types of fees, assessments and
utility charges generated are approximately $100,000 year.
· The principal benefit of the rebuild and modernization project to the Wheat Ridge community will
be the preservation of a core business, its direct workforce, and the businesses in the area that
support its operation.
· The rebuild and modernization project will not expand the operations of the facility or increase its
workforce.
Tax Incentive Agreements are traditionally used to assist a core business expand operations or increase
employment. While the proj ect will not expand operations or increase the plant's workforce, there are
a number of benefits to the community including workforce stability and preservation of one ofthe
City's core businesses.
In weighing these issues, staff thought that some form of relief could be granted to support one of our
core businesses and assist them in their continued success for the next eight to ten years. But rather
than a 50% rebate of City property taxes and sales and use tax as requested by Coors, staff thought it
more appropriate to only share back 25% ofthe sales and use tax paid on the equipment for rebuild
and modernization of the furnaces. Based on the antiCipated additional sales and use tax generation of
$600,000, the City would share back $150,000 with Coors.
ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED:
A second alternative considered was to deny the request for relief based on the fact that the rebuild
would not expand operations or increase employment. However, this alternative does not take into
consideration the benefits to the community from the plant or acknowledge the capital investment that
would be made. In addition, the capital investment being made would help ensure the success ofthe
bottling facility for another eight to ten years.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
It is anticipated that the City would receive an additional $600,000 in sales and use tax from the
rebuild project. Twenty-five percent or $150,000 would be shared back to the Coors Brewing
Company.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The Arvada Ridge Development along Kipling Street in Arvada will provide for the construction of
50th Avenue between Kipling Street and Miller Street; the relocation of Miller Street to the east and
Widening Kipling Street north of 50th Avenue. Kipling Street, Miller Street and 50th Avenue will
_ remain in Wheat Ridge. Additional street rights-of-way and easements provided by the developer will
be dedicated to Wheat Ridge through the platting of the property. A small portion of Miller Street
right-of-way not included in the plat will be de-annexed and deeded to Wheat Ridge by the City of
Arvada in the near future.
COMMISSION/BOARD RECOMMENDATION:
N/A
ST A TEMENT OF THE ISSUES:
During the initial discussions with Arvada concerning the Arvada Ridge Development, the city staffs
agreed that Kipling Street south of 51 5t A venue; Miller Street between 50th Avenue and Ridge Road,
and 50th A venue between Kipling St. and Miller St. should remain in Wheat Ridge. The design of the
streets adjacent to the Arvada Ridge Development requires minor additions to the street rights-of-way.
The proposed Arvada Ridge plat will dedicate the new rights-of-way and sidewalk easements directly
to the City of Wheat Ridge. The street rights-of-way includes a narrow strip along Kipling Street, two
small areas along 50th Avenue and the east half and relocated portion of Miller Street. The sidewalk
easements will accommodate sidewalks along Kipling Street and 50th Avenue. The Arvada Ridge plat
had been reviewed by the Community Development and Public Works Departments and Staff
recommends approval by the City CounciL A copy of the plat can be viewed in both Departments.
ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED:

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Gerald Dahl, of the Denver law firm of Gorsuch Kirgis, has been the City Attorney since 1995.
Mr. Dahl and a group of attorneys from the Public Law Division of Gorsuch Kirgis have decided
to form a new law firm: Murray Dahl Kuechenmeister and Renaud. This firm will contain all of
the attorneys who do the bulk of the City's legal work at present. Mr. Dahl has made arrangements
to provide the necessary range of legal specialties to the City as needed. The Charter provIdes that
the Council appoints the City Attorney. Mr. Dahl requests that the Council appoint Murray Dahl
Kuechenmeister and Renaud as the City Attorney, effective January 1,2005.
COMMISSIONIBOARD RECOMMENDATION:
N/A
STATEMENT OF THE ISSUES:
The Charter vests authority in the Council to appoint the City Attorney The proposed change, while
designating a new law firm as the City Attorney, will not result in any change in the attorneys who will
do the City's legal work, as those same attorneys will be in the new firm. Mr. Dahl currently performs
most of that work, assisted by Carmen Beery. This would not change. Other attorneys in the new firm
would continue to be available to assist in litigation and special district matters, as they do now. Mr.
Dahl has made arrangements to continue to use attorneys on an occasional, as needed basis for
personnel matters and municipal finance issues. These attorneys, while not a part of the new firm,
would be billed through Mr Dahl's bills,just as the prosecuting attorney is now.
ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED:
(1) Retain Gorsuch Kirgis as the City Attorney; (2) advertise the position.
FINANCIAL IMP ACT:
None; no change in billing rates or amounts is expected. The same attorneys will contmue to
perform the City's legal work.
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
"1 move to appoint Murray Dahl, Kuechenmeister and Renaud as the designated City Attorney,
effective January 1,2005."
or,
"1 move to appoint
January 1,2005."
as the designated City Attorney, effective

MEMORANDUM
TO'
MAYOR AND COUNCIL
FROM:
GERALD DAHL
RE:
CITY ATTORNEY APPOINTMENT
DATE:
DECEMBER 6, 2004
For several months, a number of the attorneys in the Public Law Division of Gorsuch
Kirgis have considered the possibility of forming our own law firm. This memorandum is
to inform you that we have decided to do this. We will form the firm of Murray Dahl
Kuechenmeister and Renaud, LLP, and expect to commence operations as a law firm on
January 1,2005
-
Of the eight attorneys in the Public Law Division, five will join the new firm. We expect
to add additional attorneys m the near future. The new firm will continue to practice
pubhc law for cittes and special districts, as those same attorneys do at present. The
attorneys who have done virtually all of the City'S work in the past will be m the new
firm: myself, Malcolm Murray, who handles litigation, and Carmen Beery, a senior
associate who has been my "backup" for City work. Charlie Kuechenmelster remains
avmlable for any special distnct questions.
I want to make note of two attorneys who will not be in the new firm but With whom I
have made arrangements and upon whom I will continue to rely. Council met Randy
Funk at the special study session on November 22. Randy will continue to be available
for the 1-70 Cabela's development project. Occasionally, I have used Dean Heizer, an
employment law attorney at, for specific personnel questtons. Dean left Gorsuch Klrgis a
few months ago. However, the Murray Dahl firm will have an arrangement with Mr.
Helzer that will allow me to call upon him for these personnel questions when they come
up. I would mtend to bill the time of both of these two attorneys through as an expense
item. ThiS is the procedure I have used for many years to bill the time of the City's
Mumclpal Court prosecuting attorney
The Charter, at Section 8 1 provides that the Council appoints the City Attorney. At the
present time, Gorsuch Kirgis is the officially appointed City Attorney I ask that the
Council appoint Murray Dahl Kuechenmeister and Renaud as the City Attorney, effective
January 1,2005.
Please know how much I have enjoyed domg the City's legal work since 1995. It has
been an honor, and I would like for the relationship to continue. I would be happy to
answer any questions you have about the new firm or this request.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Exempla Lutheran IS requestmg approval of a rezoning for the propertIes located at 8301 and 8321
W. 32nd A venue, and the area labeled as "Tract A" on the Exempla Lutheran Hospice Outline
Development Plan. The property is currently zoned Residential Two. The applicant wishes to rezone
the property to Planned Hospital District. The R,2 zone district allows only smgle-fami1y and two-
famIly structures and associated accessory bUIldings, whIle the Planned Hospital District zone
dIstrict would allow a range of health care uses as speCIfied on the Outline Development Plan. An
Outline Development Plan will accompany the rezoning request. The uses detailed on the ODP are
identIcal to the allowed uses speCIfied in the Code of Laws pertaIning to the Planned Hospital
District. The aDP will establish all allowable uses and development standards for the property. The
applicant wishes to construct a hospice faCIlity on the property. The subject parcel is 256,728 square
feet m size, or approximately 5.89 acres. Planning Commission recommended approval of the
rezoning with no conditions.
COMMISSIONIBOARD RECOMMENDA nON:
Planning CommIssion heard this request on October 21, 2004 and recommended approval for the
followmg reasons:
1. The change m zone, while not m conformance WIth the City of Wheat Ridge
Comprehensive Plan future land use designation, WIll proVIde a harrnomous
transition between the existIng hospital and residential properties.
2. The proposed use is compatible wIth the surroundmg area and will provide a
beneficial service to the cItizens and patients of the Exempla Hospital facihty.
3. The change of zone will not adversely affect the pubhc health, safety or welfare.
There were a few neighbors present at this publIc hearing to speak to thIs request. Many of the
concerns were in relation to preexistIng conditions of the hospital campus, specifically, the state of
disrepair of landscaped areas adjacent to Lutheran Parkway at West 32nd A venue. A few concerns
were vOIced In relatIOn to the traffic on West 32nd Avenue, and the need for a traffic signal at West
32nd A venue and Lutheran Parkway
STATEMENT OF THE ISSUES:
Dunng the Planning CommissIOn hearing, there was discussion regarding the existing traffic
situation, and the increase in traffic counts as a result of the rezomng. A few of the concerned
neighbors commented that a traffic signal would be appropriate at West 32nd Avenue and Lutheran
Parkway. It was mentioned that traffic signals are Installed only after the City has performed a
warrant study A warrant study consIsts of specific criteria being examined, such as vehIcular
volume, pedestrian volume, number of accidents at the locatIOn, and physical layout of the
Intersection. There was further discussion that the rezomng and OutlIne Development Plan should
be approved with the conditIOn that the CIty undertake the warrant study Staff feels that thiS
conditIOn of approval would be inappropriate
AL TERN A TlVES CONSIDERED:
-
None
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The City has received a one-time application fee for the land use application. When redevelopment
occurs, the CIty will receive a one-time buIlding permit fee.
RECOMMENDED MOTIONS:
"I move to approve Council Bill No. 23-2004, case number WZ-04-07, a request for a rezomng
from Residential Two to Planned Hospital District and associated Outline Development Plan for
properties located at 8301 and 8321 W. 32nd Avenue, and the area labeled as "Tract A" on the
Exempla Lutheran Hospice Outline Development Plan to take effect 15 days after final publication,
for the following reasons:
1 The change m zone, while not in conformance with the City of Wheat Ridge
Comprehensive Plan future land use designation, will provide a harmonious
transition between the existing hospital and existing residential properties.
2. The proposed use is compatible with the surrounding area, and Will provide a
beneficial service to the CItizens and patients of the Exempla Hospital facility.
3 The change of zone will not adversely affect the public health, safety or
welfare."

I. CASE ANALYSIS
The applicant (owner) IS requestmg a zone change from Residential Two (R-2) to Planned
Hospital Development (PHD) This apphcatlOn includes a request for approval of an Outline
Development Plan. The purpose of this application is to allow eventual constructlOn of a
hospice facihty.
The properties are currently zoned R-2, and contain a smgle-family structure on each lot. The
R,2 zone distnct allows single-family resIdentIal and accessory buildings. The applicant
Wishes to rezone to Planned Hospital Development for the purpose of constructmg a hospIce
facility The propertIes are collectively 256,728 square feet In size and have a rectangular
shape. The properties involved in the rezoning are 8301 & 8321 West 320d Avenue, as well as a
remnant portion of land that contains Lutheran Parkway
II. OUTLINE DEVELOPMENT PLAN
The Outline Development Plan will rezone the property and set allowable uses and
development standards. The ODP is general m nature - it serves as a basic blueprint for
development of the property (Exhibit 1, Outline Development Plan). A Final Development
Plan must be reviewed by Planning Commission and ultimately approved by City Council The
applicant plans on submittmg a Final Development Plan and a Final Plat in the near future.
Allowable Uses
Section 26,306 of the Code of Laws specifies a hst of allowable uses for the Planned Hospital
District. These uses are:
4
Pubhc and private general hospital
Hospitals or sanitanums for contagious diseases, or mentally disturbed or handicapped.
Homes for the aged, nursing homes, congregate care homes, hospices or slInilar
residential facilities which are accessory to a hospital or sanitarium prinCIpal use.
Accessory uses and structures customanly associated with the permitted uses as shown
on the approved final development plan.
-
1
2.
3
These uses are shown on page one of the ODP listed under Allowed Uses of Development. The
applicant intends to construct a hospice facility with an eventual total of 32 beds. The Planned
Phasing note under Architectural Character Development states that mitially 24 single
occupancy bedrooms will be constructed, and 8 additional beds will be added with Phase 2.
There is no timetable lIsted for the phasmg.
The western 200 feet of the property is labeled as "Tract A". Tract A is actually part of the
northern hospital property (Exempla Lutheran Medical Center), however it was never
incorporated into the original PHD Staff felt this was a good opportunity to rezone this small
portion from Residential Two to PHD and correct a zoning inconsistency. A note is hsted
under Allowed Uses of Development that speCifies Tract A may only be used for vehicular and
pedestnan traffic, landscapmg, lIghting and signage
Planning Commission

Development Standards
The applicant wishes to construct a buildmg that IS not obtrusive to the neighborhood and uses
architectural elements of the larger hospital property to the north, creating a cohesive feel.
Development Standards have been established on page one of the ODP. These development
standards are detailed in the followmg table:
-
Item Requirement
Minimum Site Area 5 acres
Maximum Building 40,000 square feet
Area
Mimmum Setbacks 30 feet (front)
25 feet + 10 feet for each story (side)
25 feet (rear)
30 feet from right-of-way
Maximum Lot 75% of lot area
Coverage
(Building +
Hardscape)
Minimum Landscape 25% of lot area
Coverage Refer to SectIOn 26,502 of the Wheat Ridge Code of Laws for
additIOnal requirements
Mimmum Parking 1 parking space for each 5 beds provided + 1 parking space for
Required each employee (at peak shift)
Refer to SectIOn 26-501 of the Wheat Ridge Code for Laws for
additIOnal requirements
Maximum Building 35 feet
Height
Slgnage Refer to ArtIcle VII, Chapter 26 of the Wheat RIdge Code of
Laws + proviSIOn for existing Freestandmg sign
Fencmg Refer to Section 26-603 of the Wheat Ridge Code of Laws
Extenor Lighting Refer to SectIOn 26-503 of the Wheat Ridge Code of Laws
Architectural Detail Refer to the Streetscape and Architectural Design Manual
The Code of Laws dictates the followmg attributes for the Planned HospItal Distnct:
. Each PHD must be a minimum of five acres in size
. Each PHD lot must be at least 200 feet in WIdth
. Front setback - mmimum 50 feet
· Side setback - nummum 25 feet plus 10 feet for each story
· Rear setback - minimum 25 feet plus 10 feet for each story
· Buildmg height - 50 feet for hospital and office bUlldmgs
· Building height - 35 feet for residentIal and accessory buildings

reSIdentIal zoned property
. Parking, fences/walls and signage - as approved on the FDP, otherwise refer to the
Code
Planning Commission
WZ,04,07/Exempla
3
All of the development standards are representatJ ve of development standards listed in SectIon
26-306 of the Code of Laws. There IS one notable exception, front yard setback. The Code
states that the front yard setback should be fifty feet. The applIcant has provIded a thirty-foot
front yard setback. The reason for the reduced front yard setback IS related to the access
provided to the site. The Code of Laws states that a front lot lme IS defined by where the main
access point to the property is located. In this case, the property gains access from the north via
Lutheran Parkway. The building envelope is shown WIth a 50-foot setback from West 32nd
A venue, the rear property line. This configuratIOn will ~ive the appearance of a 50-foot "front
yard" setback to motorists and pedestnans on West 32n Avenue. Staff felt that a thIrty-foot
setback on the northern property Ime was acceptable and appropriate
The ODP shows a crosshatched area on the northern property to be used for parkmg and
access. If a parking area IS created on the northern lot, the Exempla Lutheran Medical Center
Final Development Plan must be amended. If the applIcant wishes to create an overflow
parkIng area and gain access from the larger Exempla property, a cross-access easement and
parkIng agreement must be established.
Since the request is to rezone the property, the rezoning cntena must be analyzed.
III. CRITERIA
Staff has the followmg comments regarding the criteria used to evaluate a change m zone.
1. That the existing zone classification currently recorded on the official zoning maps
of the City of Wheat Ridge is in error.
The official zonmg map is not in error. The parcels are currently zoned ResidentIal
Two
2. That a change in character in the area has occurred due to installation of public
facilities, other zone changes, new growth trends, deterioration, or development
transitions, and that the evidence supports the finding of the following.
The hospItal property has grown and evolved over the years to become large a regional
hospItal. There have been several amendments to the Final Development Plan in the
past decade. The property has added a new medical office building and a sixth floor
wing to the hospital. This area has histoncally been eIther single or two family
dwellmgs. The surrounding properties have been zoned Residential Two smce the
incorporation of the City. The hospital property was rezoned from Hospital Two to
Planned CommerCIal Development and constructed and in 1976. In 1990, the hospital
property was rezoned from Planned CommercIal Development to Planned HospItal
Development.
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 these propertIes as Single
Family, not to exceed six dwelling units per acre. The current ResidentIal Two zomng
claSSIfication is consistent WIth the future land use as defined in the ComprehensIve
Planning Commission
WZ,04-07/Exempla

Plan. Some of the goals and poliCies in the Comprehensive Plan are related to adequate
buffering from residential uses and the relatIOnship of scale between eXlstmg and new
development. The proposed development standards should provide an ample buffer
between the intended uses and the eXlstmg residential, while not exceeding the scale of
the neighborhood.
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 properties directly to the east and west of the subject properties are zoned
Residential Two The property to the north is currently zoned Planned Hospital
Development. The proposed PHD zone change will be compatIble with the current
zonmg to the north. The proposed deSign of the faCIlity will be very lOW-Impact. The
applicant IS proposing a building no taller than 35 feet to be located 50 feet from the
eXisting residentIal properties to the east. A landscape buffer will encompass the entire
eastern property line Given the nature of the facility, the property will have a minimal
Impact on the surrounding neighborhood.
5. That there will be social, recreational, physical and/or economic benefits to the
community derived by the change of zone.
The proposed zone change will allow the existmg hospital to expand mternally
Currently, the hospice facility IS located on the existing Exempla campus The services
provided by the rezoning will be a benefit not only to the hospital, but also to the
community
-
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.
The Fire Dlstnct IS requmng the installatIOn of three new fire hydrants on the property.
The parking lot on the west side of the building will contain a turnaround that is able to
accommodate fire truck turnmg. A secondary fire access pomt will be located in the
southeast comer of the property. The applicant will be responsible to upgrade any
additional infrastructure as required by the respective districts.
7. That the change of zone will not adversely affect public health, safety or welfare
by creating excessive traffic congestion, creating drainage problems, or seriously
reducing light and air to the adjacent properties.
The change of zone should not adversely affect the public health, safety or welfare of
the adjacent parcels. ThiS site will generate additIOnal traffic, but not to the point of
excessive congestIOn. A new deceleration lane was constructed on the north side of
West 320d A venue, just east of Lutheran Parkway A detention pond will be located
just north of the property line on the hospital parcel to the north. The proposed
development should not senously reduce light and aIr to the adjacent properties.
8. That the change of zone will not create an isolated or spot zone district unrelated
to adjacent or nearby areas.
Planning Commission
WZ,04,07/Exempla
5
The proposed rezoning will not create an isolated zoned dlstnct. However, much of the
surrounding area IS zoned ResidentIal Two The proposed rezoning will not be
consistent with the deSignation on the future land use map in the Comprehensive Plan.
Access
One access pomt has been provided from Lutheran Parkway. Access will be gamed through the
eXlstmg hospital property An access easement must be established on the Final Plat. The
Wheat RIdge Fire District has reviewed and approved all mtenor-tuming radii and the
secondary emergency fire access pomt.
Al!encv Referral
All responding agencies have indicated that they can serve the property, and the applicant will
bear the cost of upgradmg any service to the property.
Neil!hborhood Meetinl!
The required neighborhood meeting was held on September 16, 2004 and there was no one in
attendance. The applicant did hold an informal neighborhood meetmg approximately 2 weeks
before the required neighborhood meeting, and several adjacent neighbors were present.
Because a staff member was not present, there are no meetmg notes from the informal meeting.
VI. STAFF CONCLUSION & RECOMMENDED MOTION (S):
Staff concludes that the proposed zone change, while not consistent WIth the ComprehenSIve Plan, will
provide a harmOniOUs tranSitIOn between the existing hospital and existmg residential uses. Therefore,
staff recommends APPRO V AL of the zone change and accompanying Outline Development Plan
OPTION A:
"I move to recommend APPRO V AL of Case No WZ-04-07, a request to rezone from Residential
Two to Planned Hospital Development and Outlme Development Plan for properties located at 8301
and 8321 W 32nd Avenue, and the area labeled as Tract A on the ODP for the followmg reasons:
1 The change in zone, while not in conformance with the City of Wheat Ridge
Comprehensive Plan future land use designation, will provide a harmonious
transition between the existing hospItal and existing residential properties.
2. The proposed use is compatible with the surrounding area, and will provide a
beneficial service to the citizens and patients of the Exempla Hospital facility.
3. The change of zone will not adversely affect the public health, safety or welfare.
OPTION B.
"I move to recommend DENIAL of Case No. WZ-04-07, a request to rezone from Residential Two to
Planned Hospital Development and Outline Development Plan for properties located at 8301 and 8321
W. 32nd Avenue, and the area labeled as Tract A on the ODP for the followmg reasons:

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
This ordinance adopts the 2003 International Building Codes. The city currently uses the 1997
Uniform Building Codes and the 2002 National Electric Code. Code groups throughout the county
have joined together to form the International Code Council. This Code Council has produced the
International Codes which are proposed for adoption. This code edition and its amendments were
reviewed and recommended for adoptIOn by the Building Code Advisory Board.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
The Buildmg Code Advisory Board has reviewed and recommended for adoption the proposed
code edition and amendments. The Building Department also brought forward the future codes for
comment at the first annual contractors meeting m September. There were no objections from the
contractors that were present.
STATEMENT OF THE ISSUES:
Tills code IS bemg adopted to ensure mmimum reqUIrements to safeguard the public safety, health
and general welfare, through affordabllity, structural strength, means of egress faCIlities, stabIlity,
sanitatIOn, light and ventilatIOn, energy conservatIOn and safety to life and property from fire and
other hazards attributed to the built envIronment. The City of Wheat Ridge IS the lastjunsdlctlOn
in Jefferson County to adopt the 2003 International Building Codes.
The amendments that have been made to the 2003 Building and Fire Codes have been done to
establish speCIfic regulations that would normally be open for interpretation by the Fire Marshal
and Building Official. These amendments will help give consistency to the contractmg
community Over half of the amendments proposed are to the fire code. These amendments were
Jointly agreed upon by the Wheat Ridge and Arvada Fire Distncts.
ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED:
Do not adopt the new codes.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:

mcurred on first reading. Unless there are numerous changes made on second reading, the
ordinance will be republished by title only.

STATEMENT OFTHE ISSUES:
A neIghborhood meeting was held on October 22, 2004 in whIch all property owners within 600

Staff recommends that condItions of approval be m place to mmlmlze these concerns.
There IS a sImilar use located m the ImmedIate vlclmty at 4219 Xenon Street. This partIcular
bus mess was classIfied as a legal nonconformmg use m May of 2003 based on the hlstoncal use of
the property, therefore a special use permit was not reqUIred for Its operatIOn. The property
owners of 4219 Xenon Street are the mdlvlduals that submItted the letter of objectIOn mcluded as
Exhibit 3 m the staffreport.
A petitIon m support of thIs request has been SIgned by 16 mdlvlduals representmg 18 dIfferent

proposed busmess has not been identified speCIfically as a dog kennel, it has been determined that It will have
the same characteristIcs as a dog kennel, WhICh reqUIres a speCIal use permIt to operate m the A-2 zone distnct.
There are no phYSIcal changes proposed to the property WIth the exceptIon of fencmg Improvements as the
apphcant mtends to use the eXlstmg structures and paved area (ExhibIt 2, Site Plan).
The apphcant has submitted all of the Items required to apply for a special use permIt pursuant to SectIOn 26-
114 of the Zonmg and Development Code.
II. CASE ANALYSIS
The propertIes m question are located at 4322 and 4330 Xenon Street and together are 50.275 square feet, or
approxImately I 15 acres.
The Code of Laws states that a specIal use permit shall be reviewed administratIVely for a penod of ten days.
During this ten day penod, the publIc IS given an opportumty to submIt written obJectIons regardmg the request.
If any relevant obJectlOns are received, or If the Community Development Director does not approve the
request, the applicatIon must be forwarded to CIty Council for conSIderation and deCISIon. The Commumty
Development Department dId receIve one relevant objection dunng thIS penod (ExhibIt 3, Letter of Objection);
therefore the request has been forwarded to City Council. The applicant subsequently responded to this letter of
objectIOn in writing (Exhibit 4, ApplIcant Response Letter).
A neighborhood meetmg was held on October 22, 2004 m which all property owners within 600 feet were gIven
the opportunity to discuss the applicatIOn (ExhibIt 5, NeIghborhood Meetmg Summary, ExhibIt 6,
NeIghborhood Meetmg SIgn Up Sheet). Expressed concems included the potentIal for noise generated,
increased traffic, and the status of the property if the speCIal use permIt was approved and the property was sold,
or the apphcant discontinued the business.
The Code of Laws specifies that any property zoned A-2 that IS less than one acre in size may only be used for
residentIal purposes. The property that will encompass the majority of the use at 4322 Xenon has been
determined to be approximately .99 acres. If approved for the speCIal use perrmt it is the intention of the
applicant to consohdate 4322 Xenon WIth the property Immediately to the north, 4330 Xenon, to mcrease the
size of the property to exceed one acre to make the use allowable. ConsolIdatIon plats that do not reqUIre
dedicatIOn ofpubhc right-of-way can be approved administratively WIthout a public hearing.
Staff has received a petItion m support of this request that has been signed by 16 indIviduals representing 18
dIfferent properties m the Immediate VIcinity (ExhibIt 7, Petition). This petitIOn speCIfies that these individuals
are aware of the scope of the operatIOn and have no opposition.
The applicant will be required to obtain a kennel license through the City m order to operate the business if
approved for the speCIal use permit.

There is a sImilar use located m the immedIate vlcimty at 4219 Xenon Street. This particular busmess was
classIfied as a legal nonconforming use m May of 2003 based on the hlstoncal use of the property, therefore a
specIal use permIt was not reqUlred for ItS operation. An attomey representmg the property owners of 4219
Xenon Street submItted the letter of objection mcluded as Exhibit 3
III. AGENCY REFERRALS
The proposal was referred to all of the necessary outSIde agencIes mcludmg water, fire and sewer dlstncts, Xcel
Energy, Qwest, Wheat Ridge Post Office. Police, Public Works, and the Buildmg DIVISIOn. No comments were
receIved m response to thIS apphcation.
IV. SITE PLAN REVIEW
A sIte plan has been submItted for review The sIte plan shows the location of the eXlstmg buildmgs to be
utilized, what they are to be utilized for, and proposed parkmg. The Code of Laws specifies that no outside dog
runs can be closer than 25 feet to SIde and rear property lines. The sIte plan shows the locatIOn of the outSIde
dog area to be m compliance with this requirement. The site plan also shows that the outside dog area is to be
surrounded by a SIX foot privacy fence. All development standards for landscaping and parkmg have been met.
V. SPECIAL USE PER'\1IT REVIEW
Staff has the followmg comments regardmg the cntena used to evaluate a specIal use permit request:
Per the Code of Laws Sec. 26-114 (D) before a speCIal use permIt IS approved, the apphcant shall show. and the
community development dIrector or city council shall find, the proposed speCIal use'
-
1. Will not have a detrimental effect upon the general health, welfare, safety and convenience of
persons residing or working in the neighborhood of the proposed use.
The effects of the dog day care facility should not have severe adverse effects on the health, welfare,
and safety of the neighborhood. There will be an mcrease m traffic m the area that may have slight
effects on the safety and convenience of the neighborhood. Xenon Street meets the CIty's current
standards for nght-of-way WIdth.
2. Will not create or contribute to blight in the neighborhood by virtue of physical or operational
characteristics of the proposed use.
The proposed dog day care facility will not likely contribute to blight m the neIghborhood. Both
properties, and the structures on these propertIes, are vacant and relatively unmamtamed. Approval of
the request will result m occupIed properties and rehabihtation and maintenance of the premIses.
3. Will not adversely affect the adequate light and air, nor cause significant air, water or noise
pollution.
The proposed dog day care facihty should not affect the adequate lIght and aIr, nor cause signIficant aIr
pollution. The busmess may cause noise pollutIOn with the dogs on the premises. The applicant has
expressed that measures will be taken to alleVIate this speCIfic concern, which are addressed in staffs
recommended conditions with the request.
4. Will not result in undue traffic congestion or traffic hazards, or unsafe parking, loading, service
or internal traffic conflicts to the detriment of persons whether on or off the site.
The request will result in an increase m traffic in the area, primarily dunng rush hours whIch are when
the majonty of clients drop off and pIck up their pets. All of the CIty'S parking requirements have been
City Council
Case Sl~P~~5/Grosse

met. There should not be any intemal traffic conflicts gIven the scale of the proposed use. There
should not be any loadmg or servIce conflicts to the detriment of persons whether on or off the site.
5. Will be appropriately designed, including setbacks, heights, parking, bulk, buffering, screening
and landscaping, so as to be in harmony and compatible with the character of the surrounding
areas and neighborhood, especially with adjacent properties.
The applicant IS proposing to utilIze the eXlstmg buildings WIth no addItIons or any new buildmgs. The
proposed dog day care facihty will conform to all development standards m the A-2 zone distnct for
nonreSIdential uses. Notably. the Code of Laws specIfies that any outsIde dog areas for thIS use must be
at least 25 feet from SIde or rear property lines adjacent to reSIdentIally zoned or used propertIes.
6. Will not overburden the capacities of the existing streets, utilities, parks, schools and other public
facilities and services.
The proposed use will not overburden the capacities of eXlstmg streets, utilitIes. parks, schools or other
public facilities and services. Xenon Street meets the CIty'S current standards for f1ght-of-way width
and was overlaid by the City in 2002. All of the necessary agencIes for public facihtIes and utilities
were notified of this request and no comments were received.
7. History of compliance by the applicant with Code requirements and prior conditions, if any,
regarding the subject property.
The applicants have no hIstory of compliance or noncompliance with the City of Wheat RIdge code
reqUIrements. A portion the subject property was preVIOusly used as a greenhouse, and IS currently
vacant.
8. Ability of the applicant or any permitted successor-in-interest to continuously meet the conditions
of the proposed permit.
If conditions of an approved speCIal use permit are VIOlated, the permIt can be revoked.
9. Other factors relevant to the specific application.
There are no other relevant factors.
VI. STAFF CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff concludes that the proposed dog day care facility will have an impact on the surroundmg area; however
some of those Impacts can be minimized through conditions placed on the approval. Staff recommends that
several conditIOns be placed on the approval to ensure the Impacts of the proposed use are mimmlZed. Approval
of the speCIal use permIt would provide an incentIve to occupy, rehabihtate and maintam vacant and relatIvely
unmaintamed property Therefore, staff recommends APPROVAL of Case No. SUP-04-05 with condItions as
Itemized in SectIon VII.

EXHIBIT 1
To Whom It May Concern:
We are currently lookmg at purchasmg the property located at 4322 and 4330 Xenon St.
These properties are a combmed one and l!l6t acres in sIze and are currently zoned A-2.
Once purchased, we would like to open a Doggie-Daycare/Grooming facility We will
not be doing any over mght boarding, and we will not be breeding or sellmg any type of
anImal. All ammals that come to this facility will be dropped off and picked up in the
same day.
First let us give you some background on us. Kent is a Fire Fighter and has worked for
West Metro Fire for over 6 years. Meg has been a Certified Vet Tech (a puppy nurse) for
more than 8 years. About three years ago. after 5 years ofworkmg in Vet clinics. Meg
deCIded to pursue different avenues of pet care. As a result we managed and eventually
bought into a boardingldaycare facility in Arvada. During our time at this facility we did
not have one single complaint from neighbors. We believe this was due to our open
communications with our neighbors as well as the manner m which we ran the busmess
Itself. After two and one half successful years our business partner bought us out. As a
result, we have decided to open our own new location on a much smaller scale. We have
no children, but we have three wonderful four legged "kids" (2 Golden Retrievers and an
English MastIff).
-
As for our business, doggie-daycare IS a growing niche in the pet care field. This
busmess runs much like a cillld daycare In that dog owners drop their dogs off in the
morning and pick them up in the evening. This allows the dogs to socialize with other
dogs, play and meet new friends. At the same time it allows dog owners a place to leave
their dogs while they are away for the day. Many dogs that are high energy or have
separatIOn anxiety tend to tear things up at home when left alone. This type of facility
gIVes dog owners an option. Each dog goes through an interview process, which allows
us to weed out aggressive, and anti-social dogs.
Pet grooming is a field of pet care that is in constant demand. Once again, all pets will be
dropped off and picked up on the same day. Pets receiving a bath, nail trim and/or hair
trim will, in most cases, be done within a couple of hours. These animals will be kept
mdoors at all times with the exception of potty walks. During these walks, all waste will
be picked up and disposed of immediately. These animals will be kept separate from the
dogs in doggie-daycare, and will thereby not create any additional noise.
Pet supplies, such as food and toys, are extremely competitive. We intend to carry food
geared toward our doggie-daycare and grooming clients. Additionally, we intend to carry
unique supplies and gift items you don't find in most pet stores. Most of the sales from
this aspect of our business will be from existing clients and will not create a great deal of
additional traffic.
At this pomt we would like to speCifically address the criteria used to rule on Special Use
Permit applications. _ :;EF EX H r (3" T 4

Re: Case;; SUP-04-03
Special Use Permit for 4322 & 4330 Xenon Street
(proposed new dog kennel)
Dear Mr White.
Please be advised that we represent Mr Bruce Miller and Mr Andrew MacArthur,
residing at 4219 Xenon Street in the city of Wheat Ridge. Let this letter serve as their written
objection, pursuant to Wheat Ridge Municipal Code ~ 26-114, to the proposed Special Use
Permit referred to above. Mr. Miller and Mr MacArthur reside within six-hundred feet of the
property for which the special use permit is proposed. The proposed special use fails to meet the
criteria for review set forth in Wheat Ridge Municipal Code ~ 26-1 14(D), as follows:
1 The propo,ed use will have a detrimental effect upon the general health, welfare,
lafety and convenience of the penonl1"H1dinl or working in tbe neighborhood of
the propoled use. The proposed special use significantly will add to the volume oftrafiic
on Xenon Street, 4204 Street, and 44" Street. The applicants estimate that they will attract
upwards of fifty cars per day, twice per day This traffic increase will occur primarily in
the morning and evening hours before and after work. The applicants estimate that nearly
half their clients will car pool, thus limiting the increase in traffic. This car pool estimate is
overly optimistic on its face.
In addition to the unrealistic estimate on the increase in traffic, the applicants fail to
EXHIBIT 3

P.03
mention several considerations. First, in 2005 the city of Wheat Ridge plans to construct
the Wheat Ridie Head Start Center on 42'" street, near the comer of 428411 and Xenon.
This center will be located within 300 yards of the proposed special use pennit. The
center will increase the automobile traffic in the area at the same time as the Increase due
to the applicants' proposed business. Additionally, the center greatly will add to the
number of children located in the vicinity, thus making current traffic levels potentially
more hazardous and increasing the danger of additional traffic. Second, the applicants fail
to mention that Xenon Street is a narrow residential street without marked lanes, thus
further increasing the traffic congestion.
2. The proposed special u.e will callie .ignificant noise pollution. The applicants
state that the proposed special use permit will increase the noise attributed to barlcing dogs
in the area. It should be pointed out that Mr Miller and Mr. MacArthur also operate a
kennel-like business, and have experience with the other residents of Xenon Street.
Specifically, residents have expressed dissatisfaction in the past regarding the noise
allegedly created by their kennel Several of these residents would be located directly
between the two kennels, compounding any barking dog noise problems. Additionally,
any noise problems created by the proposed special use unfairly may be attributed to Mr
Miller and Mr MacArthur's kennel.
3. The propo.ed use will reJult in undue traffic congestion or traffic hazard. to the
detriment of the penon. in the neighborhood. Please see sectlon 1 above
4. The proposed use will overburden the capacitieJ of the existing streetJ. Please see
section 1 above.
S. The desisn. indudin,letbacks. heigbu, parkinl. bulk, bufferiDI. screeninl. aad
IAnd,capfnl may not be In harmony and compatible witb the character of the
surrounding area. and neighborhood, especially with adjacent properties. The site
development plan prepared by the applicants does not meet the requirements of Wheat
Ridge Municipal Code 0 26-111 (C). Namely, there apparently is no vicinity map, no legal
description ofthe site matching the certified survey, no signed surveyor's certificate, no
date of map preparation and name and address of person who prepared map, as well as
several other misaing regulatory requirements. These deficiencies seemingly prevent an
accurate assessment of whether the proposed special use is appropriately designed and
compatible with the character of the neighborhood. In any event, based on the above,
Mesm. Miller and MacArthur maintain the special use is inharmonious and otherwise
incompatible.
It should also be noted that Wheat Ridge Municipal Code ~ 26-1 14(CX 1) requires that in
cases where the prospective owner of the special use is not the fee owner of the property, written
approval of the fee owner must be obtained. It does not appear that such written approval has
been obtained from the current fee owner of the property

Our understanding is that, pursuant to Wheat Ridge Municipal Code ~ 26-1 14(C)( 5)( e),

Wheat Ridge Municipal Code ~ 26-109, notice of such hearing will be provided to Mr Miller,
Mr. MacArthur, and other residents within the area under consideration, at least fifteen days prior

Re: Case # SUP-04-05
Special Uses Permit for 4322 & 4330 Xenon Street
(proposed new dog kennel)
Dear Mr. White:
This letter is in response to the letter submitted by David S. Sanderson, on behalf of Mr.
Bruce Miller and Mr. Andrew MacArthur, residing at 4219 Xenon Street. We would like
to take this opportunity to address the matters raised by Messrs. Miller and MacArthur's
lawyer.
-
The proposed use will not have a detrimental effect upon the general health,
welfare, safety and convenience of the persons residing or working in the
neighborhood of the proposed use. The proposed special use will not
significantly add to the volume of traffic on Xenon Street, 420d Avenue, or 44th
Avenue. The majority of clients for dog daycare, grooming and supplies utilize a
business that is convenient for their every day routines, such as on the way to and
from work. In other words, many of these clients already live in or near the area
and use 44th Avenue in their daily driving. Consequently, our business will not
add a significant amount of traffic to 44th Avenue. Additionally, many clients that
utilize 44th Avenue will simply use the north end of Xenon to access the business
and thereby minimize any impact on 420d Avenue. Further, to clarify our
estimates for traffic volume, such estimates are based upon multiple factors, not
merely clients that wish to carpool. We are confident that Mr. Miller and Mr.
MacArthur will agree that many dog owners have multiple dogs and that dog
owners tend to utilize multiple services from one business. It is important to note
that Mr. Miller and Mr. MacArthur operate a business that offers overnight
boarding, dog daycare, training, grooming, and pet supplies. Our experience, and
we imagine that Mr. Miller and Mr. MacArthur's experience as well, has been
that many clients utilize more than one of the offered services and often on the
same visit. For example, we anticipate that our clients will utilize our dog
daycare service and our grooming service on the same day. Further, we have
several clients that know each other, live close to each other, and have expressed
an interest in carpooling. We took all of these factors into consideration when
estimating the impact on traffic within the neighborhood. Our estimate is based
on our knowledge of our clients as well as the nature of our business. For these
reasons we feel that our estimate is not overly optimistic.
EXHIBIT 4
Contrary to the implication made by Mr. Miller and Mr. MacArthur's lawyer III
his letter of November 19, 2004, we are aware of the plans for the Wheat Ridge
Head Start Center. Although we have not personally seen the plans for the actual
building, we are confident that the City of Wheat Ridge will provide adequate off-
street parking so that children being dropped off or picked up will not be
wandering unattended in the street. In order to increase awareness and a sense of
caution regarding the Head Start Center, we will educate our clients about the
center and encourage them to be extra mindful of children in the area.
AdditIOnally, we will encourage all businesses in the area, including Mr Miller's
and Mr. MacArthur's business, to do the same. While It is true that Xenon Street
has no marked lanes, one can readily see by reviewing the Improvement Location
Certificate submitted with our application that Xenon Street is 50 feet wide, more
than 4 times as wide as Wright Street (12 feet). Additionally, as provided in our
application, we will provide off-street parking for our business clients.
2. The proposed special use will not cause significant noise poUution. Our
application states that we will take several steps to minimize noise due to dogs
barking. Although there are similanties in our proposed business and the business
currently operated by Mr. Miller and Mr. MacArthur, we believe there are many
differences as welL First, our basic philosophy and methods of how to run a dog
daycare differ significantly from that employed by Messrs. Miller and MacArthur.
Our methods have proven to be very effective in minimizing mstances of constant
dog barking. Dunng conversations with Mr. Miller we were told that the dogs
that attend their daycare are "separated by size and temperament." These
"similar" dogs are placed together in cages to play and have minimal human
interaction and, therefore, are much more likely to bark at each other, at dogs in
other cages, and at outside distractions. In contrast to the method employed by
Miller/MacArthur, dogs under our care have constant human supervision. This
allows us to cut down on any barking by diverting the dogs' attention to other
activities and to stop any aggression as it occurs. Additionally, every dog under
our care is required to have an interview prior to playing at our facility. This
allows us to prevent any dog with aggression problems or barking problems from
attending daycare. Simply put, any dog that has a barking problem is not allowed
at our facility. Also, most of our clients will utilize the dog daycare on multiple
days with the result being that their dogs get to know other dogs and learn to play
together very well.
-
Additionally, as you can see by the petition we have submitted, those residents
tha! would be most affected by our business based on proximIty have expressed
theIr support for approval of our Special Use Permit application.
3. The proposed use will not result in undue traffic congestion or traffic
hazards to the detriment of the persons in the neighborhood. Please see
paragraph 1 above.
4 The proposed use will not overburden the capacities of the existing streets.
Please see parab'Taph 1 above
5. The design, including setbacks, heights, parking, bulk, buffering, screening,
and landscaping, will be in harmony and compatible with the character, of
the surrounding areas and neighborhood, especially with adjacent
properties. The site development plan meets the reqUIrements of the Wheat
Ridge MunicIpal Code 26-111. All aspects are on file with the Planning and
Zoning Commission. Furthermore, according to the Plannmg staff, our
application is m compliance with all requirements. If this were not the case we
would not have gotten to this stage in the application process. Again, contrary to
the objection letter, written approval of the fee owner of the subject properties IS
on file with the Planning and Zomng Commission.
-
Finally, we believe that the true motivation for the objectIons filed by the lawyer
representlllg Mr. Miller and Mr MacArthur IS that they are threatened by the competition
that our proposed business represents to their existing business. It should be noted that
during a conversation with Mr. Miller we suggested that we could potentially help each
other build our prospective businesses. That is, because our business does not offer
overnIght boarding facilities, our clients frequently ask us which boardlllg faCIlities we
recommend. Given the location of the facility operated by Messrs. Miller and
MacArthur, it seemed natural to recommend their facility We were told that Mr. Miller
and Mr MacArthur didn't "need our business." It is also Important to note that, other
than the objection filed by this competing business, no other objection to our Special Use
Permit applicatIOn was filed by the neIghbors.
We feel confident that the Planning and Zonmg commission will recommend approval of
our SpeCial Use Permit application and feel that should bear great weight upon the final
decision of the City Council.
Thank you for your consideration. Please feel free to call If we can be of further
assistance or if you reqUIre additIOnal mformation.

The three buildings on 4322 Xenon WIll be used for separate purposes. One is to be for the daycare
portion, one for storage, and one for grooming and pet supplies that will be sold. The home on
4330 Xenon WIll be used as a reSIdence. There IS to be a fenced-Ill area m the rear of the property
for the dogs to be outsIde The applicants wIll consohdate the two properties, as 4322 Xenon IS Just
under one acre m size.
Issues Discussed:
. What is dog daycare?
. Why is thIS classIfied as a kennel?
. How many dogs would be at the facIlIty each day? About 30
. What would your hours be? They will be similar to 0pical business hours during the week.
On the weekend, they may be open on Saturday mornings.
. How do you transport the dogs from the car to the facility? Dogs must be leashed coming to
EXHIBIT 5
and from the facIlity A leash 'which is kept at the facility so the dogs are on a leash v. hen
they leave as well.
· How wIll the potentIal nOlse be dealt with? A solidfence around the outside dog area, and
employee supen'ision will cut down on the noise
· If thIs IS approved, what WIll the zomng be') Because the process is a special use pemlit, the
WIlIng on the property WIll remain A-2
· If the property is sold, does the use remam? Staff has fleXIbility as to how the special use
vests. The special use will probably be granted to the applicantlbusiness owner If the
property IS sold, the special use expires or the nev. er owner would have to apply for a new
pemzit.
· Why do the owners want to be located m a residentlal neIghborhood? It is difficult to find
property large enough for this l)pe of business in commercial areas.
· What will happen to the rest of the property, I e the eastern part? The applicants indicated
that zt would remain "as is ".
· Will there be adequate parkmg? There is an existing paved area that accommodates about
five cars. This is where parking will occur
· WIll the houses be used residentIally? The house on the large lot is v. here grooming will
occur The northern house may be rented to an employee
· The traffic impact to the neIghborhood will be Increased by the busIness, espeCIally when
Xenon IS turned Into a cul-de-sac whIch will force all traffic to use W 42nd A venue.
· What WIll happen to property values In the neIghborhood?
· Is thIS property on septIc and well systems? Both public water and sallItary sewer sen'e the
property
· How wIll thIS work wIth two established addresses consolidated on one property? Staffwill
address tIllS at the time the lots are to be consolidated.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
-
The federal government, through the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD),
makes funds available to commumtles through the Commumty Development Block Grant (CDBG)
program. These funds are distributed through the county to partlclpatmg Junsdlctlons or theIr
deSignated reCipIent. The natIOnal obJectives of the program are to meet one of the followmg
cntena.
, ProVIde a benefit to low- and moderate-mcome persons (not less than 70% of funds must be
expended for LMI persons),
;- Aid m the preventIon or elimination of slums or blight; and
,. Meet a need haVing a particular urgency.
The CDBG program contains two allocatIOns. JunsdlctlOnal and general The junsdlctional
allocations represent approximately two-thirds of the available funds and are distributed to the
vanous partlclpatmgjurisdlctlons and the county. The percentage of funds awarded to each
partlclpatlngjunsdlctlon IS based upon the percentage of the low/moderate Income populatIon m
that partlclpatmg junsdlctlon. The general allocations represent approxImately one-third of the
available funds and are allocated to a pool for all partIcipating junsdlctlOns to share on a project-by-
proJect basiS.
The city IS anticipating an award of S 185,000 m junsdlctional allocations for the 2005-2006-
program year

Staff has developed recommendatIOns based on requests receIved from the commumty and based on
cIty need. The county has revIewed the draft recommendatIOns and IS in agreement; they expect the
CommunIty Development AdvIsory Board to approve all recommendatIons by April 2005
Staff IS recommendmg that the full JunsdlctlOnal award be utilized for phase II of the street and
pedestnan Improvements of area bounded by 46th Avenue and 1-70, Estes through Carr Streets as
reflected in the CapItal Improvement Program budget.
In addition, the followmg requests for fundmg have been made'
,. $150,000 in HOME Program funds on behalf of the Wheat RIdge Housmg Authonty
COMMISSIONfBOARD RECOMMENDATION:
None.
ST A TEMENT OF THE ISSUES:
Each year, HUD makes funds available to the urban county based on the percentage of low and
moderate mcome reSIdents. These funds are deSIgnated mto two types. 1) CommunIty Development
Block Grant funds for the purpose ofprovldmg mfrastructure and, 2) CommunIty ServIce Block
Grant (CSBG) funds for the purpose ofprovldmg commumty servIces mcludmg those from the non-
profit community servIce based organIzatIOns.
-
Four applicatIOns from non-profit communIty servIce based organIzatIOns were received
(Attachment 1)
., Fanuly Tree In the amount of$1 0,000 for their Cnsls HotlIne ProJect.
, Volunteers of Amenca Colorado Branch m the amount of$5,250 for theIr Nutntlon
Programs for the elderly
, Stnde m the amount of$5,000 for their Family Self-SufficIency Program.
, Semor Resource Center in the amount of$13,000 for theIr Accessible community-based
transportatIOn program.
Because Community ServIce Block Grant funds are available for the specific purpose of assIsting
the non-profit organIzations and based on limited COSG fundmg, staff IS recommendmg that
COSG funds be utilized for theIr mtended purpose of provldmg mfrastructure wIthin the City.
In addItIOn, staff was asked to consIder fundmg of the Mlssmg Lmk Sidewalk Program through
CDBG funds. Funding of a new program would not increase the amount of funds avaIlable to the
CIty. Smce the Mlssmg Lmk Sidewalk Program has not been Identified m the Capital Improvement
City Council Meeting ~ CDBG Allocations
December 13, 2004
Page 3
Program budget, staff IS recommendmg that fundlllg be utilized for the completion of eXlstmg
proJects.
ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED:
While HUD allows no more than 15% ofCDBG funds to be used for public servIces, use of the
funds m thIs manner IS not the full mtent of HUD The federal government makes separate funds
avaIlable for public services through the Commumty ServIce Block Grant program. $267,000 WIll
be allocated dunng the 2005-2006 CSBG program year. ServIce agencIes or non-profit commumty
service based organIzatIOns meetmg the eligibility standards are mVlted to apply for fundmg
(Attachment 2 IS a list of apphcatlOns received by the County for CSBG fundmg).
In admmlstenng the CSBG funds, the county venfies proper use of funds as well as agency
eligibility. Because there are specific uses for each of the grant programs, CSBG and CDBG fundmg
requests are not coordmated. Also, partlclpatmgJunsdlctlons are not part of the CSBG process.
ApplicatIOns receIved from the non-profit commumty servIce organIzatIOns will be revIewed for
fundmg assIstance through the City Council's outSide agency contributIon process m March 2005
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
-
The city will receive approxImately $185,000 for street and pedestnan Improvements that will be
returned to the Capital Improvement Program Fund.
No negatIve financial Impact IS antIcIpated.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
"1 move to approve staffs recommendatIOn for use of the City's 2005-2006 CommunIty
Development Block Grant (CDBG) award allocatIOn as follows.
S 185,000 or full JurisdictIOnal award as estabhshed by HUD for Phase II of the street and pedestnan
Improvements of area bounded by 46th A venue and 1-70, Estes through Carr Streets"

I. Project Description:
GIve a bnef descnptlOn of the proJect for whIch you are seekmg funds (mcludmg project
10catlOn). How do you plan to spend the funds?
Family Tree Housing and Family Services (HFS) Crisis Hotline Project
Family Tree IS requestmg funds to help support the work of our Housing and FamIly ServIces
Cnsis Hotline HotlIne staff are tramed to respond to mdlvlduals and familIes m cnsls who
contact our office by telephone or m person for help The maJonty of persons who call are
homeless or near homelessness, and are challenged by nsmg costs and an mabilIty to meet baSIC
needs of rent, food and utilItles. The Cnsls HotlIne IS where help starts; It IS the first pomt of
conlact for familIes needmg help Staff provIde mformatlOn on stable housmg optlOns, shelter
and safety Issues and callers are gIven lImIted case management while waltmg for program
acceptance Staff mamtam current lIsts of shelters, food banks, diaper dlspensmg Sites,
rental/mortgage and utllIty aSSIstance, and health/mental health elImcs that are available to assIst
homeless familIes and mdlvlduals. The referrals we gIve out are targeted and appropnate for
each caller We learn the needs and then lmk callers WIth those programs for which they are
elIgible, not Just give them a lIst and tell them to search for themselves.
Because there IS an msufficient number of transltlOnal housmg optlOns m Jefferson County to
meet the need, the servIces provided by our HFS criSIS hotlme servIces, whIch proVIdes
preventive help, are even more crucIal. Beyond cnsls counselIng, mdlvlduals and familIes are
assIsted with how to aVOid eVlctlOn and solve tenant/landlord Issues. They are directed to one-
time cnsis aSSistance, such as food banks and emergency financial assistance Some famIlies will
receive mtervention and ongomg case management m order to obtam self-suffiCIency
FamilIes also stop by our office at 3805 Marshall Street m Wheat RIdge and are gIVen food and
other baSIC IIvmg Items that have been donated to Family Tree This may mean that the chIldren
are not gomg hungry for a few days. When an mdlvldual comes to our offices, we allow the
mdlvldual to use a telephone, or give hIm or her some food. diapers. and/or a few bus tokens to
get to a shelter, a Job mtervlew, or an appomtment at socIal servIces. ChIldren often find a toy or
a stuffed am mal or book to take home. Callers and VISItors respond posltlvely to our assIstance.
Because of Ihe hotlme, many familIes aVOid an eVlctlOn or leam of commumty resources to assIst
them m mamtammg their current housmg. thereby reducmg the number of "new" homeless in the
commumty Requested fundmg would be utIlIzed toward criSIS lme project expenses.
-
HFS also proVides a permanent housmg orientation sponsored by the HFS Klckm' It program that
mdlvlduals and familIes can attend whIle on our waltlIst for one of our transltlOnal or permanent
housmg proh'Tams. An onentatlOn mcludes applIcation mfo for subSidIzed housmg (pnvate and
publIc), mfo on SectlOn 8 applIcatlons and waltlIst aSSistance, help completmg the forms, credit
repair servIces. developmg good landlord relatlOns, a dlSCUSSlOn of tenant nghts, landlord
relations and lIsts of affordable housmg optlOns.
Klckm' It (With Ihe Program) is a component of services developed by HFS case managers as a
way to proVIde mformatlOn, and develop the cntlcal self-sufficiency skills of servIce reCIpIents m
an effort to further decrease epIsodes of famIly cnsls. The program consIsts of an extensIve
cumculum that IS offered repeatedly dunng the year and covers a variety of mdependent living
skIlls tOpICS. Many of the workshops are taught by experts from other orgamzatlOns WIth whom
we collaborate These mclude parentmg classes from FACES which also offers weekly home-
based support and educatlOn servIces pro bono or at a reduced rate to our partICIpants. All
parentmg partiCIpants arl reqUIred to attend a ten-week parentmg course presented by
Strengthenmg FamilIes through a grant they received to serve our families. The ConflIct Center
teaches a workshop on commumcatlOn - m the family, on the Job, at school, m relationships.

Proiect Development Form (attachment 21
National Goal: The goal ofCDBG IS to Improve the physical, economic and social conditIOns of
low income people. Family Tree's project aligns with the National ObJectives of benefitmg the
homeless population -- low- and moderate-income persons, as well as meeting an urgent
commumty need.
1. Problem, Need, or Situation: Callers to the Family Tree HFS CflSlS hotlIne, and walk-m
clIents to the HFS office, often are m nnmediate danger of being eVIcted, have already lost their
housing and are lIving temporanly WIth famlly or fnends; or are lIving on the streets, In a
campground, or In their cars. The family may be desperate for theIr baSIC needs of food, shelter
and clothmg to be met. Fifty-mne percent of the calls we received last year from people In
immedIate need of hOUSing were from smgle parents With children, and 21 % were from two-
parent familIes. One hundred percent of the calls were from famllles and indivIduals m the very
lOW-income bracket. Last year, 4,563 indivIduals/families were assisted via the cnsls hotlIne.
With the implementation of Mile High United Way's "211" referral line last year, callers seekmg
housmg assistance m thiS area are given Family Tree's phone number, when appropnate, and we
help those callers because of our expenence and expertise Fundmg fqr agencies IS not proVided.
01 the total 4,563 calls received last year, SIX percent (266 calls) were from Wheat Ridge Citizens.
In Just four months, smce July 1st, 167 calls already have been from persons m Wheat Ridge.
Currently there are six Wheat Ridge families in Family Tree's housing program. This mcludes 8
adults and 7 chIldren. Another 25 persons from Wheat Ridge were on our "walt list:' dUring the
reponmg penod, recelvmg supportive services and resources, which might Include food. clothing,
dIapers. transportatIOn and/or financial assistance
2. Method of ~eed Identification: The Annual Point In Time Study Homeless in the Denl'er
Metropolitan Area counted 8,668 persons who were homeless on January 19.2004 According to
the study. there were 1.160 persons homeless In Jefferson County, 572 of whom were chIldren.
I Jefferson County was one of two counties (the other was Douglas) whose homeless numbers
mcreased from 2003 to 2004 A need for assistance IS also Identified based upon the number of
calls we receive each day for help. Over the past year, we recelVed over 4.500 calls and saw an
Increase In the numbers ofwalk-m mdlvlduals and famIlies askmg for help
3. Service, Activity, or Intervention: Funds are requested for contmued operatIOn of the FamIly
Tree Housmg and Family Services Cnsls Hotlme Tramed staff respond to indiVIduals and
famIly members m cnSlS, who contact our office by telephone or In person for assistance.
IndiViduals and families who are homeless or near homelessness are aSSisted WIth obtammg baSIC
needs (such as food. bus tokens, diapers. clothmg) and are gIven targeted, appropnate resources
to help them find shelter and/or hOUSing - transitIOnal or permanent. The Cnsls Hotlme is often
the first pomt of contact for familIes needmg help
4. Outcome: IndiViduals and familIes will be safer, more stable, and further along their road to
self-reliance Through the crisis line. and possibly as participants in our Kickin' It program,
indiViduals and families Will have received needed basic necessities and targeted, appropriate
referrals to emergency, transItional and/or permanent housmg and other assIstance that were
soecl fic to their needs.

5. Indicator: (Number of County reSIdents to be served by requested amount of fundmg)
*And please see G on Project Budget
Based on last year, we antICIpate that 1,604 Jefferson County reSIdents will be served by the
Housmg and Family SerVIces Cnsls Hotlme m the commg year The SIO.OOO would pay for 491
of the 1.604 Jefferson County calls. Or, another way to describe thIs would be that the S I 0,000
would pay 31 % of the full cost of all the Jefferson County calls. The full cost of each call IS
$20.36. We also antIcipate housmg SIX Wheat RIdge famIlies m our program.
6. Measurement Too\(s):
We measure success from verbal/wntten feedback from callers/walk-m clients We ask people to
report on theIr progress WIth vanous resources. People often tell us that we are the first ones who
were able to help them, that others told them, "We don't proVide that service," or "Call 211, " or,
"Call Famil) Tree" Family Tree has a good reputation and IS known by others as the people who
will Sit down and listen to a family's needs. and then search and find the food the) need. or an
ImmUnIZatIOn for theIr child, or an apartment, or offer GED classes and other trammg
opportunIues that will provIde them WIth praclIcal help FamIlIes do call us back and tell us that
the) were accepted mto a particular program Because the) may have participated in our Klc"m'
It workshops. they feel invested m reporting back to us about theIr success. although that IS not
requIred. Housmg waltlIst: we measure how qUIckly a family moves off our waItlIst and receIves
housmg (larger famIlIes generally are on the walt list for a longer penod of lIme) We follow up
WIth families on the waltlIst to learn how they are domg and contmue to provIde limIted case
management.
-.
7. Data Source and Collection Proceclure: Number of calls and mformatlOn about each call are
tracked m an Access database. HFS procedures requlfe that a phone screen be completed by a
cnsls lme worker at the lIme of the first call from a famIly or an mdl\'ldual who IS homeless or at-
nsk of homelessness. At thIS tIme. prelImmary data about the caller IS documented. InformatIOn
regardmg City of reSIdence. age of head of household, number m the family and ethnIclty, current
IIvmg sItuatIOn, current level of safety and monthly mcome sources. A detern1matlOn IS made
whether the caller is m need of rental, deposll. and/or legal assIstance. emergency housmg, a
safehouse, or other emergency supplies such as food and/or transportatIOn assIstance Referrals
are made to resolve emergency Issues and the process \\'Ith FamIly Tree HFS begms. Homeless
(as defined by HUD) persons are eligible for HFS tranSitIOnal housmg prob'fams, famIlies WIth
stable mcome and recent completIOn of tranSItIOnal servIces program are eligible for HI'S
permanent housmg programs and those m need of emergency rental assistance might be eligible
for thiS project.

I. Project Description:
Give a bnef descriptJon of the proJect for which you are seekmg funds (includmg project
10catlOn) How do you plan to spend the funds?
Volunteers of Amenca provides home-delIvered meals and community-based congregate
nutrition services to more than 300 elderly Wheat Ridge reSIdents annually These
semces, provIded solely on a contributlOn-basls, ensure that the most vulnerable and at-
nsk elderly m our community aren't hungry and forgotten. Accordmg to a Federal study,
NutntIOn Programs for the Elderly have a significant impact on the health of program
participants. These programs were found to be effective and efficient in combating
malnutrition and inadequate nutrition among older adults (The NatlOnal EvaluatlOn
of the Elderly NutntJon Program 1993-1995 ) Meals on Wheels and Congregate
NutntIOn servIces help seniors to age in place, mamtain their dignity and their quality of
life, and remam m theIr own homes m mdependent IIvmg sItuations.
Volunteers of Amenca's Meals on Vibeels Program prOVIdes nutntlOus, home-delIvered
meals to 10'W-mcome, homebound elderly m Jefferson County who are unable to grocery
shop or prepare meals for themselves due to phYSIcal lImitatIOns, dIsabilIty, lack of
transportatIOn and/or poverty These are mdlvlduals who are least lIkely to have access
to other assistance. Unlike a food bank, meals are delIvered to the home, ensunng that
clients not only receIve the food they need, but ~lso have the assurance of a regular VISit
from a volunteer to check on theIr safety and well-bemg. Often, the volunteer IS the only
person the client has contact WIth each day; theIr viSits are a cntlcal component of the
servIce.
The SenIors' Nutntion Program prondes comprehensIve nutntIOn serVIces at 27 dmmg
centers throughout the regIOn, offenng nutritIOus noon meals m a congregate settmg to
mdlvIduals 60 years of age and older ThiS commUnIty-based nutntIOn program serves
highly vulnerable senIors at mcreased nsk of malnutntIOn and IsolatIon. Program
partICipants typically are very low mcome (at or below 100% of the poverty level). they
live alone, and face multIple bamers to eatmg properly Congregate dmmg sen:Ices are
offered Monday through Thursday at the Wheat Ridge Community Center ServIces
proVIded mclude nutntlous meals. nutntIOn education, and mformatIOn and assistance m
accessmg other services when needed. SenIOrs attendmg the Dmmg Centers are also
offered the OppOrtunity to partICIpate m exercise classes. health screenmgs and a vanety
of SOCial actiVitIes.
317 elderly reSidents of Wheat RIdge benefited from Volunteers of Amenca nutntIOn
scrvlces m 2003 2.156 meals were delIvered to homebound elderly through the Meals on
Wheels Program, 6.087 meals were prOVided to senIors who attended the Wheatndge
Dmmg Center
Volunteers of Amenca respectfully requests CDBG funds to be used to purchase raw
food and supplIes for the preparal1on. packagmg and servlce,'delIvery of meals to elIgIble
reSidents of Wheat RIdge who receIve sen'lces through the Meals on Wheels Program;
and. to prOVide nutntIOn services at the Wheat RIdge Dinmg Center CDBG funds
would be used to sene individuals who have an income at or below 100% of the
federal poverty guideline -- a IOlVer illcome threshold than the 125% of poverty level
required for CDBG fUllds.

II. Funding:
A. If one source of fundmg IS lost for thIs project, does your organlzatlOn have a
contmgency plan m place for thIs parllcular project0 Please explam.
Volunteers of Amenca has developed a dIversified fundmg base for ItS NutfltlOn
Programs for the Elderly conslstmg of a combmatlOn of local match from cHles and
countIes served, Mile High United Way; government grants; foundation grants; dIrect
maIl campaigns; and speCIal fundraismg events such as Share Our Strength, the
Sanctuary GolfToumament, Runnm' of the Green, and Western Fantasy However. With
the SIgnIficant mcrease m requests for Meals on \\Theels servIces over the past eIghteen
months, It would be very dIfficult to proVIde a level of servIce consIstent WIth the need m
Jefferson County WIthout fundmg from the County and the cllles served. Smce program
fundmg IS allocated on an annual baSIS, Volunteers of Amenca must contmually raIse the
balance of funds needed to sustam sefV1ces and compensate for year-to-year fluctuatlOns.
If CDBG or local match funds were not available, It would mean that eIther addltlOnal
funds would have to be raIsed beyond the current fundraIsmg capacIty of the program. or
that fewer senlOrs could be served.
B If project does not get 100% fundmg as requested m thiS proposal, what \\ould be
an acceptable percent altemal1ve0
-
V olunteers of Amenca IS requestmg fundmg m an amount needed to mamtam selTlces to
elderly reSIdents of \Vheat RIdge consIstent WIth the currentleve I of need. CIlles and
mUniCIpalities served by Nutnl10n Programs for the Elderl} are asked to pnwlde local
support equal to 10% of the Federal and State fundmg expended on sef\'lces wIlhm each
area. We would be grateful for full fundmg. howC\er, even paI1Ial fundmg \\ould help
ensure that semors most at-flsk recel\'e nutntlOus meals. Every senior that we receive
fundmg to serve IS one less semor who \\lll go WIthout meals. one less semor who wIll be
put on a waltmg list for sef\'ices. It costs less thall $1,400 to provide a sellior with a jiill
year of either ll-leals 011 1J7zeels or COllgregate meals. This is IIIlIch less thall the cost
of IIl1rsillg home care or a single hospital stay.

I. Project Description:
Give a brief descriptIOn of the project for which you are seeking funds (including project
location). Ho\\' do you plan to spend the funds?
Stride is seeking funding for its Family Self-Sufficiency Program, which helps low-
income families with children become economically self-sufficient. Funds will support
case management, mentoring. and coaching services. Families will be directed to
education, training, and counseling services needed to find and mamtam employment at
wages that will support the family
II. Funding:
A. I f one source of funding is lost for this project, does your organization have a
contingency plan m place for thiS particular project? Please explain.
The funds we are requestmg represent just 2% of our total budget for the program
This fundmg, however, provides 33% of the cost ofprovidmg the program to our
current Wheat Ridge residents. Wheat Ridge's support of this program helps us
raise the remaining 66% of the cost.
B If project does not get 100% funding as requested in this proposal, what would be an
acceptable percent alternative?
Obviously, we will accept whatever is awarded. Given the paperwork requirements
of the CDBG program, very small awards are less cost-effective.
C Complete the Project Budget Form (attachment 1). Done

Proiect Development Form (attachment 2)
1. National Goal:
Benefit low and moderate income families - 100% of families served will be low -
income (below 50% of area median income); most will be very low-mcome (below 30%
of AMI).
2. Problem, Need, or Situation: Moving out of poverty has become increasingly difficult,
especially in the current economic climate. Wages, especially those for less-skilled workers,
have stagnated. Getting off welfare is only the first step A recent study has Identified that
23% of working families in Colorado remain below the poverty level, and that 27% of
children in Colorado are in workmg-poor families. Stride is one of the few programs that
offers services to these working-poor families, helping them move to sustained employment
above the poverty level.
3. Method of Need Identification: Stnde serves families with children that are referred by
local housing authOrIties or welfare agencies. Each family is assessed to determine their
strengths and their barriers to self-sufficiency
4. Service, Activity, or Intervention: Stride helps each family develop a self-suffiCiency plan,
and then helps the family find the resources needed to complete the plan. Each plan IS unique,
and so the actual services are also unique, but common elements include GED or high school
completion, job training, and post-employment coaching. Substance abuse counsel mg.
mental health services, parenting training, and budgeting assistance are available for families
who need It. Stride helps families With emergency financial needs, through Its Emergency
Loan Fund, and helps parents find appropriate childcare, after school programs, and
educational enrichment for their children. Case managers work With the family through all
stages of the plan, especially during the cntlcal transitions from school to work and from one
iob to the next. until the familv is independent of all malor sources of public assistance
5. Outcome: 69% of Stride families have successfully completed their plan, and have
maintained stable, full-time employment above the Federal Poverty Level. Stride's average
graduate is earning over $25,000 per year
6 Indicator: (Number of County residents to be served by requested amount offundmg)
Stride's Family Self-Sufficiency program serves about 250 Jefferson County families each
year It IS currently servmg 8 Wheat Ridge families.
7 Measurement Tool(s): We have three major goals.
. 80% of current clients will meet or exceed the goals of their self-suffiCiency plan
. 90% of current clients will be employed or actively mvolved m education, Job
trammg, or job search activities
. 70% of Stnde clients will successfully graduate, by maintaming stable, full-time
employment above the poverty level for a minimum of one year
8, Data Source and Collection Procedure: Data on the above goals is collecled by case
managers quarterly. primarily based on client-report. Income data is verIfied with local
housing authorities.

I. Project Description:
GIve a bnef descnption of the project for which you are seekmg funds (includmg project
location) How do you plan to spend the funds?
Accessible community-based transportation can make a difference m a semor's ability to
remam in hls/her home rather than bemg forced into an mstrtutJonal settmg before It IS
medically necessary Funding IS for five hours of transportatIon services on Monday
aftemoons, excludmg hohdays, for older adults and mdlVIduals with disabilities that
reSide m the City of Wheat Ridge. TransportatIon will be scheduled through the SRC
transportatIon office at 3227 Chase Street, in Wheat Ridge. SRC will prOVIde specialized
door-to-door transportation serVIce to medical appointments, congregate meal sites, adult
daycare centers, and grocery shopping, as well as other requests on a space available
baSIS. SRC expects to provide 260 hours of transportation services dunng the contract
period wIth fundmg received through 2005 CDBG funds.
Transportation IS available on handicapped accessible buses and staff IS tramed to serve a
Wide vanety of chents, all with varying needs. SRC dnvers have ceruficatJons m
defenSIve drivmg, Passenger Assistance Safety and Securement (PASS), blood-born
pathogens, and drug and alcohol awareness. Dnvers undergo a strict hcensing review,
attend monthly safety meetIngs and are drug and alcohol tested.
II. Funding:
A. If one source of fundmg IS lost for thiS project, does your organization have a
contmgency plan m place for thIS particular proJect? Please explam.
-
SRC has a diverse funding plan that includes fundmg from many sources.
SpecIfically, transportatIon serVIces have estabhshed many funding partnerships
and continually work to establISh new ones. Fundmg sources include Colorado
Department of TransportatIon, the LMC Community Foundation, the crtJes of
Wheat Ridge, Edgewater, Arvada. Westminster, Commerce City, Thornton,
Federal Heights, Northglenn, and Golden, Adams and Jefferson Counties; the
Jefferson County Housing Authorrty, and various CIVIC groups, foundations,
churches and mdlVIduals. Last year we estabhshed new funding relationshIps
wIth the Daniels Fund, Rose Community Foundation and the Gannett
Foundation. We are also workmg on a specific plan to increase the number of
mdiVIdual and corporate donors. This Will proVIde a new source ofunrestncted
mcome that we will use to fund the mcreasmg demand for transportatIon.
B IfproJect does not get 100% funding as requested m this proposal, what would be
an acceptable percent alternative?
CDBG funding IS an Important part of our overall finanCial plan, and we are
appreciative of past support, as well as hopeful for future support. Support from
the City of Wheat Ridge will help SRC contInue to provide qualIty transportatIon
serVIces to seniors and person's with disabilities. We have experienced fundmg
challenges because of continual mcreases in many of the essential expenses
mvolved m prOVIding speclahzed door-to-door transportation. For example,
msurance premIUms have increased more than five hundred percent over the last
four years. The costs of bus replacement, fuel and repairs .1lIve increased as well.
To continue the program, 75% funding would be acceptable.

1. Problem, Need, or Situation:
SRC will proVIde specialized door-to-door transportation sefVJces to help older adults and
mdiVlduals wIth disabilItIes remam self-sufficient and m their homes rather than be forced Into an

-
2. Method of Need Identification:
TransportatIOn IS our most requested service Due to lack of resources, we estImate that we turn
down about ] 00 tnps per month. Expenence tells us that If a first tune nder is turned down on
their first request, they seldom call back. TIus can have a senous Impact on an older adult's
access to needed sefVJces as our average nder IS a frail, 75+ year old female, on a low mcome,
who needs door-through-door aSSistance Often lack of transportation IS a major obstacle for
seniors tryrng to mamtam both preventative and Illness specific health care. Research conducted
by DRCOG m their four year plan for agmg sefVJces 2003-2007 shows that community home-
based sefVJces are one of the most Important needs for semors Furthermore, research shows that
a maJorIty of older adults m Jefferson County would prefer to mamtam their independence by
sta m their own homes.
3. Service, Activity, or Intervention:
SRC Will prOVIde five hours of transportation service on Monday afternoons, except holIdays, to
older adults and mdiVlduals wIth disabilities who lIve m Wheat RIdge SpeCialIzed door-to-door
transportatIOn sefVJces will be proVIded to medIcal appomtments, congregate meal SItes, adult
da care centers, and roce sho m.
4. Outcome:
SRC transportation sefVJces will help Improve the phYSical, mental and SOCial well-bemg of
seniors by helpmg them remam m their homes and communIties while reducmg the likelihood of
costly and unnecessary mstitutlonalizatlon.
5. Indicator: (Number of County reSidents to be served by requested amount offundmg)
SRC plans to proVide five hours oftransportatlon sefVJces on Monday afternoons to older adults
and persons wIth disabilIties livmg m Wheat RIdge dunng thIS proJect penod. SRC will proVIde
a total of 235 hours of service By proVldmg 235 hours of sefVJce, SRC will reach 100% of Its
goal. (Monday holidays are excluded.)
6. Measurement Tool(s):
Client Satisfaction Surveys: Surveys are admInistered every other year to participants The next
survey is due the end of 2004
Random Phone Evaluations: Completed randomly by staff throughout the year

creating an enVIronment where clients feel comfortable m proVldmg feedback on the sefVJces
they are receiVing, as well as the services they need.
Driver Feedback: Dnvers offer valuable mput and evaluation of our program. When dnvers
receive comments from clIents, they complete a Client Concern Form, and submrt It to the office
for follow-u
7. Data Source and CoUection Procedure:

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
On January 12, 2004, City Council authorized staff, through the Community Development Block
- Grant (CDBG) process, to proceed with preparation of a Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy (NRS).

Identify strategies, alternatives, and action plans aimed at encouraging the market to develop/
redevelop the City's commercial/industrial and residential areas as well as Identify areas and programs
aimed at utilizing block grant funds for rehabilitation and neighborhood programs.
The Strategy will lay a strong foundation for programming to provide quality housing that integrates
current residents and workers and encourages new homeownership opportumtIes; and to analyze the
economic conditions, zoning requirements and creation of market feasibility analyses to develop
programs that provide opportunitIes to enhance or expand business recruitment and retention activities
and include programs supporting building rehabilitation Improvements.
In addition, the Strategy will focus on the commercial areas north and south of the 1-70 freeway to
identify public projects that will stimulate private sector redevelopment of the area along with
action/implementation plans that will encourage public-private partnerships and redevelopment. The
goal is to identify strategies and implementation plans that will allow the City to shape future
redevelopment and position it to take full advantage of the proposed light-rail and existing planned
developments surrounding the area.
On September 13, 2004, City Council awarded RFP-04-026 Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy to
Winston Associates in the amount of $195,000.00 with a contingency of $19,500 and adopted

upon receiving a Community Development Block Grant. The block grant funds would have been
utilized to cover the costs of the Strategy and reimbursed back to the City after initial payment for the
