City Council look at this zoning issue, pertaining to Home Occupation and residential

John Kenyon addressed basically the same issue They need the right to run their
business from their house and they go out of their way not to impact the neighbors The
cars are luxury vehicles, not trucks He asked that Council study this
Peter Perrone, was the person who appeared at the trial last Friday The City needs to
make some accommodation, even if it is on a temporary basis, until their businesses
recover from the 9/11 blow
Edgar Gregory thanked Ralph Mancinelli for listening to him about the Limousine
industry He only has 1 limo and struggles to stay in business He also asked that a
Study Session be held to discuss this matter He is also concerned about the corner of

Todd Frederick lives 1 house away from the Rocky Mountain Ditch The seepage from
the ditch inundates his crawl space with water He has a sump pump on the other side
of the house and it pumps approximately 1500 gallons of water daily during the heights

Charles Durbin addressed the actions of the Urban Renewal Authority over the last 2
weeks On October 15 they had a scheduled meeting, but they didn't have a quorum
On October 21, they scheduled another meeting, where they had to wait about Y2 hour
to get a quorum The meeting was then continued to October 22, so that the important
issue of the development at 38th & Sheridan could be heard by more of the WRUA
members On October 22 after the Executive Session to consider an 11th hour revised
financial plan, the chairperson left. Vance Edwards was appointed vice chair and the
financial proposal was quickly approved and a Resolution passed to acquire the
properties in the redevelopment area. Since Vance Edwards is on the Council, he
couldn't hear the review of the consolidation plat and the special use permit and once
again, there was no quorum The meeting was continued to this very morning at 10 00
a.m Again, there was not a quorum present. They set up a speaker phone so Terrell
Williams could vote, so this matter could be presented to Council tonight. He thinks
there is something wrong with this conduct.
Jimmy Riley and Cynthia LeFevre donated their 3 minutes each to Jacqueline Weller
Jacqueline Weller spoke once again to repeal the law for psychic businesses to need a
special use permit. She thanked Mr Hanley and Ms Figlus for their help They are the
only ones who understood the issue She thanked everybody who had worked to

will go forward with their lawsuit unless the new council will reconsider the ordinance

and the developer share equally in the amount for the clean-up $50,000 maximum
each have been committed for that purpose Revenue Numbers are currently being
compiled and might be available by Friday of this week. The Urban Renewal Authority
does not take property, it pays fair market value for it. If you pay fair market value, by
law you don't have to re-Iocate people, but that does not mean that the Urban Renewal
Authority will not consider that.

Zachary Land
Laurie Dye
Robin Dye
James Perin
Susan Seeds
Linda Klamm
Robert McGhee
Their concerns and questions included, but were not limited to, the City allowing a big
corporation coming in and allowing them to take over other people's property; what is
the cost of the contamination clean-up and who will pay for it; nobody has asked for this
project and it is constantly being protested, it does not fit the designation "Village
Center", the area is not blighted, the existing businesses are contributing to the City's
tax base the funding for Walgreen's is an economic disaster; Urban Renewal Projects
do not necessarily benefit City coffers, there is a payoff period and by the time it is paid,
the business could be gone, busy area and increasing traffic; dangerous to children
people have a right to retain their property; too many Walgreen stores already;
suggestions to boycott Walgreen, the neighborhood was never told about Walgreen,
where are the displaced businesses going to move and will the City help them move,
dropping property values, misuse of eminent domain, getting rid of historic buildings (the
billiard hall), how many "real" jobs will be created by Walgreen, inappropriate use for
this intersection, quality of life being compromised, how much money will King Sooper's
lose, how much will other small businesses along 38th Avenue lose
Motion by Mr Edwards to continue this meeting to 6 15 P m on Tuesday, October 28
2003, seconded by Mr Mancinelli, carried 6-2 with Mr Hanley and Ms Figlus voting no

and we should finish 5A and 5 B

their constituents want them to this is the first time that an applicant for a plat
consolidation has been a non-owner of the property to be consolidated, requests that
these Items be denied, equal chance for small business owners many business owners
have already been through the streetscape project that was to improve 38th Ave,
questions on how and when this blight area was determined, where and when are the
business owners going to know about their relocation, questions regarding the customer
loyalty base the affected business owners have established, character of "main street"
as provided in the comprehensive plan, as well as the relocation process outlined in the
plan questions regarding Mr Edward's vote on this item due to the fact that he is on the
Urban Renewal Authority; (Mr Dahl clarified that Mr Edwards should continue to hear
this item ) Business owners have not been given a value for their property/business
and they wonder when they will be notified, how can we accept this when we do not
know what we are accepting, safety concerns, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness
or money' against eminent domain - it is not ethical

Their comments included would rather see 1 development instead of 2 or 3,
Walgreens will reduce unwanted noise and traffic and trash Walgreens will be an asset
to the community
Jim Windholz explained that Mr Hardy from Eckerts had played an unethical game here
this evening WRURA went through a very elaborate bidding process, they prepared
RFP's and presented them to a minimum of two dozen developers and users within the
entire Metro area They gave them as long as six weeks to respond They got 2
responses, one from Walgreens and one from Eckerts They chose Walgreens
because of their ability to stay in the market and to provide a viable marketing retail
establishment for this community JC Penney, who owns Eckerts, is considering selling
the ailing chain Mr Windholz explained the entire process of Urban Renewal in great
detail and answered questions raised by the speakers
Tim Sullivan representing Walgreens, was sworn in by the Mayor and gave
background on this project. They feel they have done numerous things to minimize any
impact on the traffic on Ames The drive-through will have negligible impact on the site
The cars can get out onto Sheridan
Jeff Bailey, representing Walgreens, stated that they would not sell liquor
Council discussion followed
Mr DiTullio asked if the City or the Urban Renewal Authority or Walgreens owned any
of the properties discussed tonight. The answer was no

who will gain nothing by this They try to do something positive for the community He
also gave background as to how this all came about.

Colorado Department of Transportation provides written approval of the access permit
for the proposed access on Sheridan Blvd, seconded by Mr Mancinelli, carried 5-3 with

Mr DiTullio voted no because he has a problem that neither the City of Wheat Ridge,
nor WRURA, nor Walgreens owns the properties in question We are changing property
lines and redrawing property lines on property that nobody owns that's here tonight.
Motion by Mr Edwards that Case No SUP-03-05, a request for a special use permit to

Item 4
RESOLUTION 29-2003 - APPROVING THE FIRST AMENDMENT TO
THE 38TH AVENUE CORRIDOR REDEVELOPMENT PLAN
Resolution 29-2003 was introduced by Mr Edwards. Clerk read the summary
Alan White gave the staff report and explained what a tax increment is
Jim Windholz received information today from the County Assessor's Office that the
date for the base is to be established between December 1 and December 10 We
have to do an agreement with the County
The following speakers were present and spoke against Resolution 29-2003
Louise Turner stated that there is no situation in this town at this time that is so critical,
so urgent, or so dire, as to justify the taking of someone's business or God forbid,
somebody's home Take a very hard look at the expenses that have gone into Urban
Renewal and what the benefits have been The assumption that this is going to solve
the City's problems financially, is ridiculous Location identity of years and years in one
location is something you simply cannot offset and if you are talking about taking
somebody's home, it is simply unforgivable There should have been a distinct item on
the agenda for people to speak to this sort of thing
Scott Wesley found it disconcerting that they are already stating that they are going to
be in financial debt, when this project hasn't even gotten off the ground He wondered if
the Authority had looked if there were any Federal Grants that would cover this He
does not believe that this is not a financial responsibility for the public. Any taxes
should go to a public vote and this is a tax not a fee
Kim Stewart is against this whole project. There are 3 viable businesses that we
should have invested in She doesn't like being here, but somebody has to stand up for
the rights of the citizens Please give us the respect we deserve
Teri Dalbec is against the amendment and is surprised this is being done by
Resolution Tax increment financing is confusing This plan should not go forward
Jim Windholz clarified questions that had been raised regarding tax increment
financing There were no Federal Grants available for this project. Urban Renewal
Authorities do not have the power of taxation The financing package will be ready this
week and available to the public. It is illegal to reveal specific sales tax information for
specific businesses and properties This will never be conveyed to the public
Motion by Mr Edwards to approve Resolution 29-2003 seconded by Mrs Rotola and
Mr Mancinelli, carried 5-3 with Councilmembers Figlus, Hanley, and DiTullio voting no
Ms Figlus can't vote for this without any figures, this is like signing a blank check.

RESOLUTION 30-2003 - APPROVING AN INTERGOVERNMENTAL
AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY AND URBAN RENEWAL
AUTHORITY
Resolution 30-2003 was introduced by Mr Edwards, who also read the title Deputy
Clerk read the executive summary
Motion by Mr Edwards to approve Resolution 30-2003, seconded by Mr Mancinelli
Terri Dalbec believes that Mr Windholz perjured himself earlier in the meeting when he
said this project would take none of the City's sales tax and now he is making a
proposal here that in 2006 he will take the City's sales tax from the Town Center
Basically this is theft from the Town Center sales tax revenues, that should have come
to the City, we are stealing it and putting it in Urban Renewal, to then use for more of
this boondoggle, more $800,000 for blight studies, more expenses for the attorneys and
Cornerstone and everybody and it's a lie to the citizens of Wheat Ridge They were told
when the Town Center was paid off, the money would go into the City's coffers That
amounts to $70,000 per year, that could have been used for many worthwhile projects
