SUBJECT: Northwest Lakewood SanItation Dlstnct It has come to my attentIOn that the Northwest Lakewood SanitatIOn Distnct wastewater treatment faclhty located at 4101 Miller St., IS gomg to cease to operate sometime m the next few months. The SanItatIOn Dlstnct Itself IS still gomg to be m busmess, but have decided to cease operatIOn of the treatment facIlity and outsource thiS service to another company It IS possible that the Dlstnct Will want to sell the property m the near future. Imtlal comments from the dlstnct mdlcate that the distnct Will be demoltshmg the plant and completmg any reqUired remediatIOn before the property IS placed on the market. It is my recommendation that City CouncIl conSider thIS property as an Open Space acqUisItion. The City currently has a ltcense agreement WIth the Sanitation Dlstnct for use of a portIOn of theIr property at thiS locatIOn. The faclhty IS at the end of 41 st Avenue, west of KIplmg. The gravel road travelmg west down the hIll to the parkmg lot, IS all property owned by the SanItatIOn Dlstnct. The hcense agreement allows the City to use the road and the parkmg lot as a trailhead for access to the Wheat Ridge Greenbelt and Clear Creek Trail. The attached maps show the locatIOn of the SanItatIOn's treatment faclhty The plant IS adjacent to the Wheat Ridge Greenbelt on the north, east and west Side AcqUISItIOn of the property would allow the City to mamtam thIS Important locatIOn as a traIlhead With parking. The acqulSltlOn would also allow the City to complete the buffer zone next to Clear Creek on the south. The process for acqumng thiS property through Jefferson County Open Space would mclude the followmg: I) A resolution passed by CIty CouncIl showmg support to enter negotiations for the property and deSignation of the parcel as a pnonty acqUIsItion. 2) Research by the Open Space acqUisItion staffregardmg the detaIls of the property 3) Open Space Committee approval of the parcel for acqUIsItIOn. 4) NegotiatIOns With the Dlstnct. There IS stdl a balance of funds 111 the Jefferson County Open Space bond acqUIsItion program passed by - voters m 1998 If the Jefferson County Open Space CommIttee approves the purchase of the parcel, 1 would then request to OSAC that the entire parcel be purchased With Jefferson County bond funds and that there not be a cash match from the City reqUired for the purchase. This request Will be based on the ITEM ~. pohCles set by the committee for use of bond funds, as well as the City's past purchases. Past purchases are ehgible as a "match" credit. Currently the City does not have any active acquisitIOns m progress. In 2002, City Council passed an Open Space Resolution approvmg a pnonty list of Open Space and Park Land properties for acqUisItIon. This resolutIOn was m direct response to a reqUirement by Jefferson County for the expenditure of bond funds. Each of the properties on the hst has become mactIve for a vanety reasons. 1 would like to recommend that the City update this hst m 2005 to Identify or clarify If there are any properties ofmterest to the City for acquiSitIOn by Jefferson County Open Space bond funds.

These requests typically are made during the design phase in conjunction with the neighborhood meetings. Additional requests are submitted while the projects are being constructed. Staff incorporates minor requests in the projects as right-of-way, schedule and budget allow. It has been suggested that the City have greater flexibility to accommodate special requests for traffic control features, landscaping, under-grounding power lines, etc. for CIP projects. To accommodate additional improvements for any project requires adjustment of the initial project schedule and budgeting additional funds for the unanticipated improvements. Staff suggests the following City Council Policy to provide opportunity for greater flexibility concerning CIP project development: CIP ENHANCEMENT POLICY The Staff will schedule sufficient opportunity in Capital Improvement Project development to solicit and investigate citizen requests for improvements that are outside of the original scope of any project. The CIP budget will include special funding to be used for these unanticipated enhancements to individual projects. The City Council also recognizes that additional funding may be required to accommodate investigation and incorporation of unanticipated project enhancements.

"\ 13 ~I \ / '~o_~~ FROM: Mayor and City Council A Randy Young, City Man~ TO: DATE: September 14, 2004 SUBJECT: September 20th Study Session Discussion Regarding Code EnforcementlW eed Mitigation One of the agenda items for the City Council Study Session scheduled for Monday, September 20,2004, will be discussion of Code Enforcement and Weed Mitigation. For your review and information, I have attached a Council Action Form from July 28, 2004 regarding weeds and tall grass. This was a change to the Code of Ordinance to prohibit tall grass within the City, as well as streamline the process of abating the removal of weeds and mowing of tall grass. ITEM 5, ITEM NO: 4- I REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION COUNCIL MEETING DATE: July 28, 2003 TITLE: AN ORDINANCE RENAMING CHAPTER 24 "VEGETATION" AND CREATING ARTICLE III OF SAID CHAPTER OF THE CODE OF LAWS OF THE CITY OF WHEA T RIDGE CONCERNING TH; REGULATION OF WEEDS AND TALL GRASS cg] PUBLIC HEARING o BIDSIMOTIONS o RESOLUTIONS o ORDINANCES FOR 1 ST READING (Date) cg] ORDINANCES FOR 2ND READING Quasl-JudIC13I' D cg] Yes No /' / /,: ~ ;/ // // /C.,P/ / '---:Y -/.~- j , / ~.4->' /- ?.....-~---/;> Director of Public Works ~Cu~ City ManageK EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: A proposed change to the Code of Ordmances wIll prohibit tall grass wlthm the City, as well as strearnlme the process ofabatmg the removal of weeds and mowmg of tall grass. The current weed regulatIOns wIll be moved from the NUIsance Chapter and will be expanded to also regulate tall grass. Ornamental grasses will be exempt from the new regulatIOn, as well as agriculturally zoned property. COMMISSJONIBOARD RECOMMENDATION: The Public Works AdVISor Committee recommended approval of the ordmance at its July 2,2003 meeting. STATEMENT OF THE ISSUES: Tall grass IS not currently regulated m Wheat Ridge. Weeds are currently defined as nuisances and controlled as such. The proposed ordmance will create a new chapter titled "VegetatIOn" to address weeds and tall grass. It is recommended that weeds and tall grass be controlled by property owners wlthm five (5) days of notification similar to the current weed ordinance. The City may direct the cuttmg of the weeds or tall grass at the end of the five (5) day notice period and charge for perfonnmg the service. At the July 14 City CouncIl Meetmg, CouncIlor DiTullio proposed an amendment which would make the owners ana occupants of property equally responsible for VIOlations of the proposed ordinance. The second ordmance attached has been reVised to mclude occupants as responsible parties. At the July 14 City Council Meeting Councilor Edwards asked If the City's greenbelt and ConservatIOn Trust properties were exempt from the proposed ordinance. The CIty's greenbelt property IS specifically exempted by the defimtlOn of weeds m the ordinance In addItion, the Conservation Trust lands are exempt by reference found in Section of 26.221.5.G of the Code of Ordmances. ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED: Retain the current ordinances. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The costs of weed abatement will be reduced because the mItigatIOn of weed abatement will be defined as a single course of actIOn. The cost savings will translate to the ability to perform addItIOnal inspections and abatement~.
