Community Development Department of the City of Wheat Ridge.
3. APPROVE ORDER OF AGENDA
It was moved by Commissioner PLUMMER and seconded by Commissioner STEWART
to approve the order of the agenda as presented. The motion passed unanimously.
4. DISCUSSION OF THREE-MILE PLAN
Alan White reviewed the proposed Three-Mile Plan. In response to previously stated concerns
that portions of the plan area would someday be annexed to Wheat Ridge, Mr. White stated that
annexation in Colorado is totally driven by requests from landowners. The plan shows what
the city thinks are appropriate land uses should someone express interest in annexation in the
future.
Flora Andrus, Prospect Recreation and Park District, stated she was very pleased with the plan
and looked forward to completion of new trail connections.

Rhonda Tietelbaum, Applewood Property Owners Association representative to the Clear
Creek Neighborhood Council, expressed appreciation for the forum provided by the City of
Wheat Ridge to allow for proactive discussions. She also stated that she was also very pleased
with the plan. She wanted to make sure that directional signs would be placed for access into
Cabela's to lessen traffic impact in nearby neighborhoods. In regards to Coors' position that
trails passing by the lake would present too much liability, she commented that recent
legislation removes liability from property owners for trail access to the fourteeners. Perhaps
this could apply to the lake situation. She also stated that they have been working with CDOT
to request that the road from 32nd A venue to Highway 58 be two lanes instead of four.
Direction was given to Alan White to have counts done on the Clear Creek Trail to actually see
how many people use it, and to add a trail connection to the east of the reservoir and the golf
course.
A public hearing is scheduled on April 20 to consider adoption of the Three-Mile Plan.
