CITY ATTORNEY'S MATTERS
Mr Dahl asked that he be directed to draft an ordinance expanding on the
circumstances under which the City makes it unlawful to provide alcohol to minors Our
code presently covers the circumstance in which someone purchases alcohol and then
provides it to a minor and that's illegal, but it doesn't cover the circumstance in which
the minor goes in to purchase the alcohol and the retail establishment fails to determine
the age of the minor There is a state statute on the subject, but we want it to be written
in the municipal court. It will only require a subsection to the section dealing with sales
to minors

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
On February 17,2005 City of Wheat Ridge Parks employees discovered six (6) 55 gallon drums of an
unknown substance or substances illegally dumped at the Greenbelt trailhead located at 4 I st and Miller
Street. The Wheat Ridge Police Department responded and noted that at least one of the barrels had
ruptured and the contents had spilled onto the ground. The scene was treated both as a crime and as a
hazardous materials event. The Wheat Ridge Fire Department responded and elements ofthe Adams
Jefferson County Hazardous Materials Response Team responded to assess the situatIOn.
The Police Department classified the event as a violation of Colorado Revised Statutes as a Hazardous
Waste Violation (C.R.S. 18-13- 112). The owner of the barrels could not be identified and paint had
been applied to the barrels in an apparent attempt to prevent the identification of their owner or ongin,
The Hazardous Materials Team Leader determined that the situation was stable and no action was
required by the Hazardous Materials Team to mitigate the incident. Attempts to classify the contents
of the barrel by field testing were inconclusive. Custom Environmental Services, a certified
environmental contractor, was called to remediate the scene by collecting and securing the barrels and
removing and securing the contaminated ground, which amounted to 16 yards of dirt. The contents of
the barrels were identified through laboratory testmg and the barrels and contaminated earth were
disposed of according to applicable Federal and State regulations.
COMMISSIONIBOARD RECOMMENDATION:
None
STATEMENT OF THE ISSUES:
Normally, the owner of the barrels and its contents is legally responsible for the costs of environmental
clean-up However, where the owner is unknown the property owner or occupant IS responsible for
the costs of such clean-up
The area in question is an access point to the Wheat Ridge Greenbelt and is maintained by the City of
Wheat Ridge Parks and Recreation Department. In effect this makes the City of Wheat Ridge
responsible for the costs of site clean-up
ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED:
Other certified environmental contractors do exist. Custom Environmental Services was called based
on the recommendatIOn ofthe Hazardous Matenals Team Leader that responded to the scene. Further,
this recommendatIOn was based on the fact that Custom Environmental Services was selected to be the
provider of such services by Jefferson County for similar incidents for which the County is
responsible.
-
Use of City employees to remediate the site and remove and dispose of the product and contaminated
soil was not possible due to Federal regulations regarding the traimng of employees engaged in such
activity, regulations regarding transportation and storage of such items, and regulatIOns regarding the
dispositIOn of such items.
FINANCIAL IMP ACT:
Funds were not appropriated in the 2005 budget for unanticipated environmental clean-ups. A
supplemental budget appropnation from General Fund undesignated reserves, In the amount of
$6,279.25, is necessary to pay for this expenditure.
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
"I move to approve Resolution 24-2005, a ResolutIOn amending the fiscal year 2005 General Fund
budget to reflect the approval of a budget supplemental appropnation from the General Fund
undesignated reserves in the amount of $6,279.25 to account #01-215-650-663 for emergency

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
During the April 18, 2005 Regular Study Session direction was given to bring forward a budget
supplemental appropnatlon for the Legislative Services. The supplement is to increase the amount
allocated for Meetings and Conferences. The supplement is to be used for Council dinner meetings
and joint board meetings, and an allocation of$500.00 per member for attendance at legislative events.
COMMISSION/BOARD RECOMMENDATION:
N/A
ST A TEMENT OF THE ISSUES:
Due to the increased number of joint meetings, special study sessions, and legislative events, it has
been determined that additional funds are needed to supplement the legislative services budget. This
will allow the Mayor and the City Council to continue to conduct business in the current manner and
take advantage of educational and networkmg opportunities.
ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED:
Do not approve Resolution 25-2005
FINANCIAL IMP ACT:
Funds were not appropriated in the 2005 budget for the additional allocation for Conferences and
Meetings. A supplemental budget appropriation from General Fund undesignated reserves, in the
amount of $7,000 00, is necessary to pay for this expenditure.
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
"I move to approve Resolution 25-2005, a ResolutIOn amending the fiscal year 2005 General Fund
budget to reflect the approval of a budget supplemental appropriation from the General Fund

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
This ordinance changes the number of votes needed for the Board of Adjustment to approve an actIOn.
Currently a three-fourths majority vote IS reqUIred for the Board to approve the requests it hears. The
ordinance changes this reqUIrement to a simple maJonty vote.
COMMISSION/BOARD RECOMMENDATION:
No other Board or Commission recommendatIOn is reqUIred; however, at Council's direction, this
change was discussed with the Board of Adjustment at their meeting on March 24, 2005. The Board
unanimously favored not changing the voting requirement.
ST A TEMENT OF THE ISSUES:
While this voting reqUIrement may have been needed In the past to make it more difficult to gain
approval of what could be termed use variances, the amendments to the Code adopted in 2001 do
not allow the City to grant a variance to anything that is prohibited, nor to anything other than
development standards or items specifically set out for variances. In other words, someone in an
R-l zone district cannot request a variance to build a car wash on then residential lot.
The Community Development Department has had variance cases in front of the Board of
Adjustment where the votc is 5-3 in favor of a motion to approve the request, but because of the
voting reqUIrement, the request IS demed because it takes 6 at1irmatlve votes to approve. If only 7
members are present, an application can be demed with a vote of 5-2 because 6 votes are required
to approvc the action.
There are other actions taken by the Planning Commission or City Council With far greater impact
than a vanancc, such as a rezomng or special use, which require only a simple majority vote.
AL TERNA TIVES CONSIDERED:
Do not amend the voting requirements.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
There is no financial impact to adoptmg this ordinance.
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
"I move to approve Council Bill 05-2005 on second reading and that It take effect 15 days after
final pubhcation."

All notification and postmg requirements have been met; therefore, there IS JunsdlctlOn to hear this
case.
I. REQUEST
The applicants are requestmg approval of an amendment to Special Use Permit 05-01 which was
approved on February 28, 2005. The property m questIOn IS located west of 1-70, south of Highway 58
and north of West 32nd Avenue. The amendment consists of the following requests.
1) Add an area of approximately 48.2 acres, located north of Clear Creek, to the 130 acres
previously permitted for excavation and deposition of fill south of Clear Creek. For this added
area, the applicant is requestmg waivers to performance standards for hours of operation,
setbacks, and fencmg. Fencmg and hours of operation are requested to be the same as for the
previously approved area. The 3D-foot setback is requested to be waived on all property lines
for the added area,
2) Waive the 30-foot setback requirement on the west, north, and east property lines of the
prevIOusly approved area. (See ExhIbit I, Letter of Request)
Section 26-623 of the Zomng and Development Code requires a special use permit (SUP) for any
depOSItion or excavation in excess of 20,000 cubiC yards. The SUP process starts with a neighborhood
meeting. When an application is received, the referral and staff review penod and ten-day public
notice period begms. During thiS ten day period, the public is given an opportunity to submit written
obJections regardmg the request. If any relevant objections are receIVed, the application must be
forwarded to City Council for consideration. For this application, the Commumty Development
Department received one (I) objection during this period (See Exhibit 2, Letter of ObJectIOn from
Jefferson County) No adJacent residents or other landowners subillltted objectIOns.
-
The neighborhood meetmg was held on April 13, 2005 There were nme persons m attendance. Due to
the small turnout, there was not a presentation and question and answer period, but rather the audience
was asked to come up to the maps and ask questions directly of the applicants, which did not lend to
taking notes. Some of the questions asked were the location of the additional area, where the 30-foot
setback waivers were requested and why, were there going to be any changes to the hours of operation,
impact on the Y oungfield Service Road, and the nature of the temporary crossing of Clear Creek. (See
Exhibit 3, Neighborhood Meeting Sign in Sheet)
II. CASE ANALYSIS
Added Area:
In the additional area approximately 1.2 million cubic yards of material in total will be moved.
Suitable fill material will be excavated from this added area to be used in the previously approved area
south of Clear Creek. The area will then be filled with material that is dredged from an existing Coors
lake as part of a maintenance program.
The property is currently undeveloped and was previously mined for gravel Surroundmg uses are
undeveloped and water storage lakes owned by Coors to the west; State Highway 58 right-of-way and
beyond that industnal uses to the north, County owned undeveloped land to the east, with the Table

Case SUP.05-04ICabela's

Mountain Animal Center and the County's asphalt facility farther to the east; and to the south are
Coors-owned water storage lakes and County owned land which includes the Clear Creek floodplain.
Traffic Involved in the excavation and fill operations will be internal to the added area, previously
approved area, and property owned by Coors. There will be no constructIOn traffic on surrounding
public streets. McIntyre will be used for access to the sites by worker traffic.
Due to ItS isolation from any existing development, reduction of the fence height standard and
expansIOn of the hours of operation to the 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. approved for the previous area will have
minimal impact on any adjacent development. Waiver of the 30-foot setback reqUIrement will not
impact any structures. The County did not object to this waiver where It abuts their ownership along
Clear Creek.
Waiver of 30-foot Setbacks on Previously Approved Area:
The area previously approved for excavation and filing IS a former gravel mine site. Permits were
issued by the State in the past for mining and reclamatIOn of the site.
The applicant is requesting a waiver to the 30-foot setback requirement on the west, north, and east
property lines ONLY. The southern property line setback adjacent to the residential area will remain
at 30 feet. No other changes to the performance standards approved prevIOusly are being requested.
The property to the west is owned by Coors and is a water storage lake, to the north is County
undeveloped land with the Clear Creek floodplain, the Table Mountain Animal Center (TMAC), and
the County's asphalt operation area. To the east is 1-70 nght-of-way
- The County is concerned about reducing the setback adjacent to TMAC and the impacts to traffic on
the Y oungfield Service Road. In the early 1980' s the area south of TMAC (the subJect site) was
extensively mined for gravel. The mining resulted in a sItuation where the excavation near the
property line was vertical, that is, there was no fill or slope present to shore up this area. No damage
to the adjacent property or failure of the vertical wall has occurred, At the conclusion of the mining
operation, loose fill was deposited at eh base of the vertical wall, resulting in a potentially unstable
condition south of the property line. One purpose of the SUP is to remove this unstable fill and
replace it with compacted fill. Safety of those working on the excavation must be maintained and the
conditions in the area will be continuously monitored to determine if any additional measures are
needed to preserve stability.
The Y oungfield Service Road is located in the 1-70 right-of-way and the edge of the pavement is
approximately 25-30 feet from the property line Even with a reduction In the setback to zero on the
east property line, there remains 25 to 30 feet of right-of-way which is not impacted by this request.
No constructIOn traffic is permitted to use Y oungfield Service Road, so there will be no disruption of
County employee or TMAC traffic
A site plan, grading plan and cross section details have been submitted for review (See Exhibit 4, Mass
Grading Plan).

agencies concerning environmental Issues. A summary of these letters IS provided below:
1. Letter from the U.S. Department of the Interior - Confirmation that federal legislation
concerning threatened or endangered plant species does not apply to the Cabela's site (the
previously approved site) because there are no federal funding, lands, or permits mvolved.
Wetlands will not be developed under a nahonwlde permit because there are no jurisdictIOnal
wetlands on the site. The project III the prevIOusly approved area would not likely adversely
affect the Ute ladies' -tresses orchid (orchid).
2. Letter from the U.S Department of the lntenor - Confirmation that the proJect would not
likely adversely affect the orchid in the added area north of Clear Creek.
3. Letter from the U.S Department of the lnterior - Confirmation that the project would not
likely adversely affect the orchid in the previously approved area south of Clear Creek.
4 Letter from the U.S Department of the Intenor - Confirmation that a populatlOn of Preble's

Service Road will not be affected by the reduced setback and there will be no impact to the
health, welfare, safety, or convenience of County or TMAC employees as a result. The uses to
the west, north, and east consist of water storage reservOirs, highway nghts-of-way, or non-
residential uses and will be minimally impacted by the operatIOn. Maintenance of the 30-foot
setback and reduced hours of operation adjacent to the residential neighborhood to the south
will minimize detrimental effects on that neighborhood, There will be minimal detnmental
effects on the general health, safety or welfare of persons In the neighborhood.
2. Will not create or contribute to blight in the neighborhood by virtue of physical or
operational characteristics of the proposed use.
The proposed water storage reservoir will not contribute to blight. The areas proposed for
deposition of fill matenal are former gravel mine sites requiring reclamation. The reclamation
will elimmate a blighted condition currently eXisting on the property
3. Will not adversely affect the adequate light and air, nor cause significant air, water or
noise pollution.
Since the special use operation involves the movement of soil at ground level and below
ground level, there will be no impact on the access to or the availability of light and air to
adjacent properties. Performance standards and permits required by the State will ensure that
air and water quality standards will be met. One of the conditions of the prevIOus SUP
approval was that the contractor develop a noise mitigation plan with the neighborhood. This
plan has been presented to eh neighborhood and approved by the City. To date there have been
no complaints received by the City or contractor.
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 traffic involved in the excavation and filling operation is contained on site. Worker and
mobilization traffic on and off the site is restricted to using McIntyre Street. Y oungfield
Service Road will not be affected by the reduced setback and there will be no impact to the
health, welfare, safety, or convemence of County or TMAC employees as a result. The
proposed special use Will not result in undue traffic congestion or traffic hazards. There will be
no unsafe parking, loading, service, or internal traffic conflicts to the detnment of persons on
or off 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.
There is no building proposed as a result of thiS speCial use request and the setback, height,
parking, bulk, buffering, screening and landscaping criteria are not applicable. Waiver of the
3D-foot setback where requested will not affect the character of the adjacent or surrounding
area. The request does not include changing the 30 foot setback from the south property line of
the previously approved area. This setback will ensure that the grading and excavation
operation will minimally impact the character of the adjacent properties. All other surrounding
uses are non-residential and the operation wIll be III harmony and compatible with the
character of those areas.

Coors I Cabela's Site Excavation Proposal
Amendment to Special Use Permit Narrative
April 28, 2005
Introduction
This Special Use Permit application for a Major Excavation Control Operation has been prepared in
accordance with the requirements of Section 26-623 of the Municipal Code for the City of Wheat Ridge,
Colorado.
This permit application amendment encompasses approximately 48.2 acres of which principal
ownership is the Coors Brewing Company of Golden, Colorado.
Project Description
The Coors Brewing Company is proposing the reclamation of an existing sand/gravel mining pit.
Material necessary for the reclamation of the site shall be excavated from two areas. Area One
encompasses approximately the 130 acres of site reclamation south of Clear Creek defined within the initial
Coors/Cabela's Special Use Permit Narrative. The material excavated from this area will continue to be
used to balance other development sites within the subject property. Area Two includes existing properties
and facilities owned and operated by the Coors Brewing Company that are located outside of the City of
Wheat Ridge. This proposal provides that excavated material from the 178.2 acres Coors/Cabela's Site will
not be exported off -site.
Site Characteristics
- The subject property is generally located between Clear Creek and Colorado Highway 58, west of
Interstate 70 and east of Eldridge Street (as extended). The site has historically been used for sand and
gravel mining and is currently undeveloped. The resulting landform from previous mining activities has left
much of the site with large excavation pits, with steep slopes and poor drainage. The site was permitted for
gravel mining activity by the State of Colorado and is subject to a current Division of Minerals and Geology
reclamation permit.
Construction Schedule
Residual granular, sand and gravel materials may be excavated from the amendment area north of
Clear Creek and transported to the original SUP area (Area One) for incorporation into the fill. Excavation
of material from Area One (future Lake B-5) may be used to fill part of the amendment area north of Clear
Creek.
Maintenance of an existing water storage reservoir within Area Two will also be used to source
material to fill the amendment area north of Clear Creek. That activity is planned to begin in Q4 of 2005.
Excavated material from both areas shall be hauled within property owned by Coors Brewing Company and
will stay off public rights-of-way. Construction hours shall continue to be between 7 a.m. to 9 p.m., six days
a week (Monday through Saturday) as previously defined within the initial Special Use Plan with the
exception granted for work from April 15 to May 15. Additional hours of operation may be required for
special or unforeseen circumstances such as those involved with utility work or other emergencies that may
come up in the process. In these situations the contractor will contact the appointed representative from
the City's Public Works Department for permission to conduct operations for extended hours. Under no
circumstances will the contractor be allowed to begin excavation work before 7 a.m.
EXHIBIT 1
Construction Fencing
Construction fencing will be placed within the Special Use Permit areas of active excavation. The
minimum height of construction fencing will be 48 inches adjacent to public access areas. Stormwater
Management Practices will be put in place in conjunction with the Stormwater Management Plan.
Amendment
Within Area One it is requested to amend the existing Special Use Permit so that grading and
excavation may occur within 30 feet of the west, north and east property lines, at a maximum temporary
slope of 1.5:1 until proposed plan grades are matched. No activity or grading shall occur within 30 feet of
the southem property line adjacent to the following subdivisions: Applewood Mesa; Applewood Lane;
Applewood Gardens.
It is likewise requested that the 30 foot non-activity buffer from the property line be waived in the
Amendment area north of Clear Creek.

Dear Mr White'
Jefferson County IS gravely concerned with the proposed amendment of the Special Use
Permit, SUP-05-04 to allow grading within 30 feet of Jefferson County property,
Including the Tab]e Mountain Animal Center ('TMAC") and the Road and Bridge
maintenance area. Our key concern is the protection of the pubhc, employees, and
ammals traveling to/from or USIng this property.
The TMAC driveway and the 1-70 Frontage Road abuts the property lIne of the Special
Use Permit property and are used daily by the public, animal control officers from many
jurisdictIOns and other employees. It is imperative that this SpecIal Use not be granted
unless we feel assured that no damage will occur to County property, or the frontage road
used to access County property
We did not receive the December 17, 2004 Geotechnical Engineering Study until April
]4,2005 or the April 20, 2005 Geotechmcal Engineering letter untl] April 20, 2005. In
our prelimInary reVIew, we felt there was insufficient supportmg data for a technical
review by the County geologist. The April 25 response deadhne and possible
administrative approval on Apnl 26 does not provide sufficient revIew time to determine
that the conclUSlOns of Kumar & Associates, Inc. can be substantiated as it relates to the
County property.
Additionally, the Applicant has failed to meet criteria 1,4,5, and 6 In Section 26-114(D)
of the Zoning Code of the City of Wheat Ridge Colorado
These cnteria are that the proposal

persons whether on or off the site.
[5] Will be appropriately designed, including setbacks, heights, parking, bulk,

compatible with the character of the surrounding areas and neighborhood,
especially with adjacent properties.
[6 ] WIll not overburden the capacities of the existing streets, utilities, parks,
schools and other public facilitIes and services.
These cntena are not met. The Applicant has not demonstrated that the grading activity
within 30 feet of the County property will not have a dctrimental effect upon the general
health, welfare and safety of the public, employees, and animal control officers, who
access the property on a daily basis. The Applicant's information only discusses harm to
the TMAC building, not the access/frontage road, parking area, or utilities for the County
property The amendment to the Special Use permit does not have provisions to
adequately protect the dnveway, parking lot or buIlding on the TMAC property. Nor are
any adequate solutions provided should any damage occur.
Finally, pursuant to SectIOn 26-623(C) maJor landfills and excavation operations may be
allowed "only by special use permit reqUIring public heanngs before the Planning
Commission and City Council under Section 26-114." Although section 26-114 provides
that the Community Development Director shall refer the special use application to the
City Council if objections are raised, SectIOn 26-114 is more specific to special use
approvals for major excavation operations and, Section 26-114 still requires both
Planning Commission and City CouncIl review
Because the Amendment to the Special Use Permit requests grading within 30 feet of the
County property and the 1-70 Frontage Road and there is potential for serious damage to
the access and parking lot, Jefferson County hereby objects to the proposed Amendment.
Jefferson County requests an opportunity to review the SpeCial Use Permit Amendment
documents in full, obtain additional technical information from the Applicant, and
explore mItigatIOn of potential impacts on the County property and operations. Jefferson
County, therefore, requests the County be given additional time to attempt to protect the
County property and the public, and then this matter be referred to the Planning
Commission and the City CouncIl as required by SectIOn 26-114

A TT ACHMENT
Amendment to the Special Use Permit Concerns
NotIfication: The April 15, 2005 letter notifYing Jefferson County of the response
deadline was sent to 1700 Arapahoe Street. Jefferson County's address is 100
Jefferson County Parkway. AddItionally, Jefferson County has repeatedly requested
that all notification be sent or copied to Nanette Neelan, Assistant County
Administrator
2. Notification of CDOT' The dlstnbution lIst of the Community Development Referral
Form does not list CDOT The access Did CDOT receive a referral and have any
concerns wJth the encroachment')
3. Narrative. The Apnl 12, 2005 narrative states that "Area Two includes existing
properties and facilities owned and operated by the Coors Brewing Company that are
located outside of the City of Wheat Ridge .Maintenance of an existing water
storage reservoir within Area Two will also be used to source material to fill the
amendment area north of Clear Creek." The Graphics do not label Use Areas.
Grading in unincorporated areas cannot be approved by the City of Wheat Ridge.
4. ConstructIOn Hours. Wheat RIdge performance standards (Sec 26-623C6) requires
major landfill and excavation operations to be limlted to 7 am to 5 pm with no
operations permItted on Saturday or Sunday. The narrative states that "additional
hours of operation may be required for special or unforeseen circumstances In
these situations the contractor will contact the appointed representative from the
City's Public Works Department for pemlission to conduct operations for extended
hours. " The County needs more time to determine appropriate hours of operation to
minimize impacts on Jts operatIOn. We also request this provision reqUIre approval
by Jefferson County before any request for extended hours is granted by the City for
grading in areas near County Property.
5. Construction Fencing: The narrative states that construction fencing will be a
minimum height of 48 inches adjacent to public access areas. A 48 inch fence will not
protect public visitors or employees. Will the existmg fence along the Table
Mountain Animal Center (TMAC) remain?
6 TMAC Dnveway and Parking Lot. The Apnl 20, 2005 Kumar letter implies that the
TMAC bUIlding will not be impacted due to Its distance from the excavation activity.
The letter does not address the existing asphalt used as a driveway and parking lot.
The performance of the adjacent asphalt IS good, although the seam has come apart.
7. EXIsting Utilities to TMAC The Apnl 20, 2005 Kumar letter does not address
protectIOn of eXisting utilities- electnc, gas, water and sewer- in the utility easement
Alan White, Commumty Development DIrector
City of Wheat Ridge
ApnJ 22, 2005
Page 5
along the north property line. DisruptIon of these serVlces would harm the County's
operations.
8 EXlstmg Frontage Road to County property. The Apnl 20, 2005 Kumar letter does
not address protectIOn of the frontage road. This road is used for county operations
and by the public to access the County property Disruption of this roadway would
harm county operatIOns.
9. Temporary ExcavatIOn Slope. The December 17, 2004 Geotechmcal Engineering
Study narratIve (Temporary Excavations, page 20) states a maximum temporary slope
of 3:1 for the reservOir temporary excavation, however, the Apnl 20, 2005 Kumar
letter states 1.5 1 will be utilized in the upper 25 to 30 feet, and the SUP plans state a
2.1 slope. What is the actual proposed temporary slope withm the 30' encroachment
near the County property?
10 Slope Stability' The Apnl 20, 2005 Kumar letter states that Kumar has performed an
analysis for potential slope failure. The report did not include the data necessary to
support the conclusions. Please proVide Jefferson County this analysis so the County
may review the input parameters.
-
11. DMG Mining PermIt: The March 4, 2005 Kumar letter was submitted to the
Colorado Division of Minerals and Geology with the 110 permit application. The
letter's findings "assumed that there would be a 30-foot setback of any of the gradmg
operations from the property line." Has the DMG received a revised permit based on
the plans to excavate within 30 feet of the property lines?
12. Pedestnan Bridge. The Special Use permit should address repair to the pedestrian
bndge that may be caused by a flood event and the placement of the temporary
crossmg to allow eqUIpment access for thIs grading activity
13. Will a Special Use for mass grading be required for the Salter property? Or, does the
proposed Interim Zomng allow for gradmg/mining of this site without further review?
14 How can a Special Use permit be issued for a use that is not permitted? The proposed
Interim zoning does not allow for Mining. The existmg reclamation plan for the
current 112 permit calls for the reclamatIOn of the entire site as water storage, which
does not coincide with current grading activities. The amendments to the rruning
permit have not been approved by the State.
15 General Notes on Cover Sheet.
#12. The Contractor shall regularly patrol the pubic lands adjacent to the development,
remove construction debris and keep clean and safe. Does this include removal of debris
from the County property')
Alan White, Community Development Director
City of Wheat Ridge
Apnl 22, 2005
Page 6
#16. The duty of the owner/engineer to conduct construction review of the colltractor's
performance is not intended to include review of the adequacy of the contractor's safety
measures in, on or near the construction site. Safety measures to protect the public and
employees while traveling to/from and visiting County property should be mOnitored and
should be the responsibility of the owner.
#18. It is the contractor's responsibility to notify the owner's representative, and the City
of any problems in confomling to the approved plans for any element of the proposed
improvemellts prior to its construction. Adjacent property owners should also be
notified. The County would like to be notified of any problems in the areas adjacent to
County property Please make an effort to contact Nanette Neelan directly- a letter to
"100 Jefferson County Parkway, will not be sufficient.
#21' No grading shall take place until all appropriate permits have been obtained. The
State Mining 110 Permit and 112 Permit have not been obtained, yet mining/grading
actlVlty has already begun. The reclamation plan for the current 112 permit calls for the
reclamation of the entire site as water storage, whlCh does not coincide with current
gradmg activitIes.
#22 The colltractor shall immediately fix any excavation, or excessive pavement
failure caused by the project, and shall properly barricade the site until construction is
complete. . Revise this note to specifically mclude pavement failure withm adJacent
property and delete "excessive" - If the driveway/parking area of TMAC is damaged to
any extent, Jefferson County wants it repaired to our satisfaction. Also, Jefferson County
must be pre-notified and involved in any plans/discussions to bamcade the site. Access
to County property cannot be barricaded due to contract obligations with other
junsdictions.
#22: ,..Failure, by the contractor, to correct any of the above within 48 hours of written
notice, shall cause the owner to issue a stop work order and/or do the work and make a
claim against the project's letter of credit for any costs incurred. Wheat Ridge should
also issue a stop work order if damage to adjacent property occurs. Jefferson County
should be the beneficiary of a letter of credit to ensure any damage on the County
property is repaired.
Notes should be revIsed to specifically include dust, noise and erosIOn mitigation
measures to protect the County property

RE: Response to Jefferson County Comments on Proposed SUP
Amendment, SUP 05-04/Cabela's
Dear Alan.
-
On behalf of Cabela's, this letter is provided in response to the comments submitted
by Jefferson County with respect to Cabela's application for an amendment to the
Special Use Permit (SUP) granted on February 28, 2005
Many of Jefferson County's comments generally appear to be directed towards the
anticipated future retail development Cabela's hopes to propose for this site, and not
towards the matter which will be pending before the Wheat Ridge City Council on
Monday, May 9, 2005, namely an amendment to the existing SUP which would
allow grading operations to take place to the property line along the north, east and
west sides of the property
The Wheat Ridge Zoning and Development Code allows a landowner to apply for a
special use permit for the purpose of excavation and deposition of fill material in
excess of 20,000 cubic yards There are no limitations on zone districts to which
this special use permit applies, a special use may be requested, and granted,
irrespective of the underlying zone district. The special use permit, in and of itself,
provides the necessary land use approval for the excavation and fill activities.
Cabela's will respond to each point raised in the Jefferson County letter seriatim.
I. Wheat Ridge Zoning Code Criteria
Page 2 of Jefferson County's letter refers to four criteria found in section 26-114(0)
of the Wheat Ridge Zoning Code.
[11 Health. welfare and safety. Jefferson County alleges that the proposed
amendment to the SUP will have a negative effect on the health, safety and welfare

of the public, employees, and animal control officers accessing the property of the
Table Mountain Animal Center (TMAC)
Although this criteria really applies primarily to uses, such as the retail use ultimately
proposed for this site, but not yet pending before City Council, Cabela's nonetheless
disagrees with this assessment.
First, the original SUP application contained numerous criteria, designed to protect
the health, safety and welfare of the public, including nearby residents, and the
employees and animal control officers of TMAC The staff found, and City Council
found in approving the SUP, that all these criteria were met, The staff also
recommended, and City Council adopted, conditions designed to prevent any
detriment to health, safety or welfare These criteria and conditions ranged from
taking measures to reduce noise and dust, to limiting access to a single driveway to
minimize traffic on public streets, All of these criteria and conditions have been
complied with to date The applicant has received no complaints on its hotline set
up for this purpose
Additionally, and perhaps more importantly, as the attached cross section shows,
the TMAC, and its driveway and parking lot, sit high on a bermed area. In the early
1980's, when the site in question was a gravel mine, this area was extensively
mined, resulting in a situation in which the excavation near the property line was
vertical. That is, no fill or slope was present to shore up these areas, yet no
damage or danger occurred.
~
At the conclusion of the mining operations, loose fill was deposited in this area,
resulting in an unstable condition on the Cabela's side of the property line One
purpose of the proposed SUP modification is to remove this loose and unstable fill.
The proposed excavation, again as shown on the attached cross section, will be at a
slope of 1.5 to 1 for at least the first 25 feet from the property line. Existing
conditions will be continually monitored by the soil engineer to determine whether
any additional measures are required to preserve stability Also, the TMAC building
is 64 48 feet away from the property line at its closest point.
As Kumar and Associates, our geo-technical engineer, notes in their April 20 letter,
which updates their prior geotechnical analysis of the proposed grading, excavating
to within 5 feet of the property line will not reduce the slope stability factor related to
TMAC to below the acceptable level of 1 5
No evidence exists that the proposed modification will create any danger to the
utilities, parking area, or access road in front of TMAC As required under the
existing SUP, and consistent with practice in the industry, of course the slope
stability will be carefully monitored throughout the grading process. If any such
evidence does reveal itself, then applicant will take appropriate measures, including
shoring, as necessary, to protect TMAC and/or any other facilities, structures, or
members of the public. Applicant should not be required, however, to take
measures at this point to remedy a situation which does not exist. In fact, the
current condition, and the proposed grading condition, are both more stable
Alan White, Community Development Director
May 3, 2005
Page 3
conditions than that which existed, without harm to TMAC, for several years in the
early 1980's
For these reasons, the proposed amendment to the SUP does not create an
adverse impact upon TMAC, or any other resident or neighboring property
[4,1 Traffic conqestion or traffic hazards, As with item [1 j, above, it appears that
Jefferson County is referring to issues related to the ultimate retail development
proposed for this property The proposed SUP is an amendment to an existing SUP
for site overlot grading only; no application has been submitted allowing
development on the property
As noted above, the original SUP application contained several criteria and
conditions, including a limitation on access routes Only one access route is
allowed during the grading process, in order to minimize traffic on local streets, all
vehicles will access the property through the Colorado Highway 58 Frontage Road
access off Mcintyre, located to the North of the site Applicant has complied with
this condition to date, and has received no complaints or negative comments
otherwise
-
The proposed change to the SUP, allowing grading to the property line, instead of
30 feet away, of the property line, does not change this restriction, or create any
additional traffic congestion or hazards
[51 Appropriate desiqn, setbacks, heiqhts, bufferinq, screeninq, landscapinq, in
harmony with and compatible with the neiqhborhood, Once again, this criteria
relates to the ultimate proposed use Nonetheless, as with the other criteria,
applicant is in compliance with all the restrictions imposed under the original SUP to
protect the neighborhood. The design, setbacks, building height, buffering,
screening, and landscaping will be addressed when a final development plan (FDP)
for the proposed retail development is submitted. This is currently anticipated to
occur in August, 2005.
[6,1 Will not overburden the capabilities of the existinq streets, utilities, parks,
schools and other public facilities and services, As with the other criteria, this is not
applicable to this application to amend the SUP to allow grading closer to the
property line than previously allowed. The impact of the proposed project on
existing infrastructure, and proposed improvements designed to mitigate that
impact, will be proposed by applicant, and reviewed by the City at the FDP stage
Request for referral to Planninq Commission. Jefferson County requests, on page 2
of its letter, that the Planning Commission consider the proposed SUP amendment.
However, a hearing by the planning commission is neither required nor appropriate
In July of 2003 the City adopted Ordinance No 1291 which amended the special
use permit process. One of the amendments was the elimination of the planning
commission hearing. Section 26-623 C of the Wheat Ridge Code dealing with
excavation and deposit control has been superceded by Ordinance 1291, which
process was followed in this case, and under which the original SUP was approved

ATTACHMENT - Amendment to Special Use Permit Concerns
Jefferson County also included an attachment, titled "Amendment to Special Use
Permit Concerns" The following comments respond to the numbered paragraphs in
that attachment.
1 Jefferson County Notification Notification was sent to the correct address
However, the addressee was not denoted as Nanette Neelan The data
base has been corrected to reference Ms Neelan in the future
2. Notifications of COOT The Wheat Ridge Code does not require notification
of COOT in this instance. Nonetheless, we have had discussions with
COOT representatives, and anticipate receiving their written comments
shortly
3 Narrative - Use Areas. The narrative associated with the amendment to the
SUP noted that Area Two was outside the boundaries of the City of Wheat
Ridge It is correct that grading in unincorporated areas is not within the
jurisdiction of the City of Wheat Ridge. Applicants have not requested
approval by the City of Wheat Ridge for excavation outside the City
boundaries However, placement of material excavated elsewhere and
deposited within the site does have to be approved through the SUP The
material from Area Two will be obtained during standard maintenance of the
existing water storage reservoir as previously coordinated between Coors
and the County, and placed within the site, which is entirely within the City of
Wheat Ridge
4 Construction Hours, No modification from the existing SUP is requested in
this area. The hours of construction previously approved in the original SUP
will continue to apply These hours are limited to' 7 00 a,m to 9'00 p m. six
days a week except from April 15 to May 15, where it will be extended to 7
days per week. For areas within 200 feet of residential properties, the hours
of operation shall be limited to between 7 00 a,m and 7 00 p.m
5 Construction Fencing: The existing 6 foot tall fence will remain in place as
long as it is not within Cabela's property Cabela's takes protection of the
public very seriously, and will make every effort to ensure that all contractors
on the site during construction pay paramount attention to this issue.
6 TMAC Driveway and Parking Lot: Excavation will be confined to the
Cabela's site No evidence exists that the TMAC driveway will be adversely
impacted by the proposed excavation However, if in the course of
construction the TMAC parking or driveway is adversely impacted, it will be
repaired in a timely manner, to at least its current condition. Photographic
evidence of the existing condition of the asphalt will be obtained for records
7 Existing Utilities to TMAC Existing utility service(s) to the TMAC will not be
interrupted (See item 6)
Alan White, Community Development Director
May 3, 2005
Page 5
8 Existing Frontage Road to County property' As previously stated, the
excavation/embankment operations are to be limited to the property
boundary Disruption to the County operations or access to the property is
not anticipated to occur Additionally, the roadway surface is approximately
30 additional feet from the property boundary The existing frontage road
access will not be disrupted.
9 Temporary Excavation Slope Temporary Excavation slope of 1 5 1 is
anticipated to be used in the upper 25 to 30 feet. Evaluation of existing
conditions will be made by the Geotechnical Engineer to determine if this
slope is acceptable and to what depth,
10 Slope Stability' As construction takes place, if field conditions differ from
what is anticipated in the geotechnical report, as determined by the
appropriate professionals, then appropriate measures will be taken.
-
11 DMG Mining Permit: The DMG 110 process is not affected by the requested
area of 30 foot variance The DMG 110 is relevant to the temporary crossing
if material is moved from the North parcel mining area to the Coors/Cabela's
site and the parcel previously owned by Mr Salter The 30 foot setback will
continue to apply along the south boundary of the SUP as well as the west
boundary of the .Salter" property The east boundary of the previous Salter
property is more than 30 feet from the excavation A 30 foot set back does
not apply to the existing DMG permits,
12, Pedestrian Bridge Cabela's would be responsible for making repairs to the
pedestrian bridge if it can be determined that damage to the pedestrian
bridge was caused by the temporary crossing, The temporary crossing has
been permitted by the Corps of Engineers and City through a floodplain use
permit.
13 .Salter Property' The existing SUP incorporates the former Salter property
Grading within it's area Grading is allowed within the property following the
DMG 110 amendment process without further review Grading within the
Salter property has not commenced and will not commence until the 110
process is complete through the DMG However, grading, when it begins,
along the south and west lines of the Salter property will be set-back 30 feet
from the property line, as required in the original SUP granted on February
28, 2005
14 Interim Zoning vs. Special Use Permit: A Technical Review for the revised
grading plans has been approved through the DMG and therefore allows for
the current reclamation, regardless of the property's zoning status, The SUP
allows for grading on the area, also without regard to the zone district in
which the property is located.

15 GENERAL NOTES ON COVER SHEET
a. #12 - Patrol of adjacent lands. Yes, the Contractor is responsible for
collecting trash and debris that may accidentally leave its site They
would only enter adjacent property with permission
b #16 - Owner/Engineer review of adequacy of safety measures
under existing contracts, neither the Engineer nor the Owner can
specifically dictate Contractor means or methods of operation,
Safety and construction techniques are the sole responsibility of the
Contractor and the Contractor is required to comply with City,
County, State and Federal regulations. However, it is the
responsibility of the contractor to use all necessary and appropriate
safety measures to ensure protection of the public during
construction If the County or any other members of the public note
any potential issues, several phone numbers and the hot line is
available to report such issues Immediate response will be
provided.
c. #18 - Notification of issues that are not in conformance. Issues that
affect adjacent property owners will be brought to the respective
property owner's attention. All notification to Jefferson County will be
sent to Nannette Neelan henceforth
d #21 - No grading should be performed until Mining Permits are
issued: Kate Newman, a representative of Jefferson County has
attended a series of meetings with the Cabela's project team, and
representatives of the City of Wheat Ridge. The State 110 permit is
an amendment that deals with the former Salter property At such
time that the 110 permit is approved, excavation will begin in this
area. No excavation of the former Salter property is taking place at
this time. The DMG 112 permit has a "TR" Technical Revision that
allows for reclamation using the revised grading plans that coincides
with current grading activities
e #22 - Remediation of failed pavements caused by construction, site
barricade" The note specifically states that reparations are required
to any damaged areas This will include the Jefferson County
property If damage to the parking area takes place, as measured by
comparison to initial project photographs, reparation will be made to
a condition equal to or better than existing as agreed to by both
parties. This requirement is a part of Owner's contract with the
Contractor The site will be barricaded to prevent people from
entering Cabela's property Barricade is typically defined as fencing
and will occur on the Cabela's property The Jefferson County parcel
will not be barricaded to preclude access to their facility

f #22 - Stop work Criteria, The City has a process in place to account
for the need of Stop Work orders and will implement accordingly
The letter of credit applies to the City and the City will have the ability
to ensure reparation of damage that may occur
[comment not numbered] Notes should be revised to specifically
include dust. noise and erosion mitigation measures to protect the
County property Our contractor has also obtained and is operating
under the following permits 1) Storm-water Discharge Permit -
issued through the State of Colorado; 2) Dust Control Permit -
Issued through Air Pollution Control Division of the State of Colorado.
and 3) Dewatering Discharge Permit - Issued through the State of
Colorado. Department of Health.
As previously noted, the initially granted SUP contains several criteria
and conditions related to dust, noise, and erosion mitigation
measures. These measures are for the protection of all adjacent
property owners and members of the public, including Jefferson
County If a violation of these criteria or any other code provision
occurs, the City of Wheat Ridge, and the SUP permit language itself
contain adequate provision to protect Jefferson County
II.
Conclusion
Cabela's appreciates the thoroughness with which Jefferson County reviewed the
pending application for an amendment to the SUP granted on February 28, 2005. to
allow for excavation to occur up to the property line. But the items outlined in
Jefferson County's letter do not show evidence of any failure to meet applicable
criteria. or raise issues that have not already been adequately addressed by the City
of Wheat Ridge in the conditions and criteria of its original approval of the Cabela's
SUP
To the extent that Jefferson County's comments serve as a reminder of the
importance of the health, safety and welfare to the public, Cabela's reiterates its
commitment to hold these issues paramount, and to comply with the letter and spirit
of all applicable laws and regulations in proceeding with the excavation. To the
extent these comments refer to the proposed retail development for which an
application has not yet been submitted, Cabela's cannot respond at this time

Dear Mr White.
Thank you for having Cabela's address our April 22, 2005 letter about the Amendment to
the Special Use permit.
On April 25, 2005 Jefferson County requested additional information from the
applicant's engmeer to ensure that any slope failure within the 3D-foot setback would not
damage county property or impede access to county property The County asked for the
Geotehnical Engineering Study's input parameters to verify that the study took into
account load surcharges due to the parkmg area at the animal shelter and variability of the
fill material, as well as the gas, sewer, and aerial electric line utilities near the property
boundary
We received the data on May 6, 2005 Due to the delay in response, the County's
geologist only had one day to review the Information. The County had wanted to conduct
a through review. We had wanted to come to City Council completely assured that our
property and operations would not be inadvertently harmed. But, we were we not given
the chance. Hence
The County would like to be notified- Immedlately- of any problems in the areas
adjacent to County property or the access road to County property
The County would like to be notified- immediately- if field conditions differ from
what was stated in the Geotechmcal Engineenng Study so we can perform our own
analysis.
The County would like to verify the cut slope depicted on Cross Section B will be
2.1, not the 1.5.1 as shown.
The County would like, given the relatively low factors of safety, commitment that
the cut slope will be exposed for the shortest possible period of time. Once the
existing fill is removed, the moisture-conditioned material should be re-compacted as
quickly as possible to stabilize the slope

The County would like reassurance- on the record- that m the event that damage does
occur, the applicant and the City will make the necessary repairs to its existmg
condition.
The County would like Note #22 revised (The contractor shall immediately fix any
excavation, or excessive pavement failure caused by the project. and shall properly
barricade the site until construction is complete ) to specifically address utilities and
pavement failure within adjacent property (including CDOT property) and delete the
word "excessive."
The County must be pre-notified and involved In any plans/discussions to barricade
the site in the event of pavement failure Access to County property cannot be
barricaded due to contract oblIgatIOns wlth other JurisdictIOns.
To further ensure public protectIOn and county operations,
The County requests that the City obtain our approval, or at least consult us, before
any request for extended hours is granted by the City for grading in areas near County
Property
Finally, the County would like a commitment from the applicant and City that our
questIOns and/or requests for additIOnal Information will be answered quicker so that
we will have enough time to complete through reviews.
The County also continues its objection to approval of the special use or the amendment
to the special use without review by both the City Council and the Planmng Commission.
There is not statement In the Wheat Ridge Code providing that Section 26-623 C of the
Wheat Ridge Code has been superceded by Ordinance 1291 Section 26-623 is specific
to special use permits for excavation and reqUIres mandatory review by the City Council
and the Planning Commission. I can be reached at 303-271-8475

Subject:
Potential for Adverse Effects of Proposed Cabela's Site Grading
Activities on Table Mountain Animal Center Building, Northeast
Corner of Proposed Cabela's Site, Near 1.70 and Clear Creek, Wheat
Ridge, Colorado
Project No. 04-1-400
Dear Mr. Lococo:
This letter presents the results of Kumar & Associates' evaluation of the potential
for proposed grading activities associated with the Cabela's site development to
adversely effect the stability of Jefferson County's Table Mountain Animal Center
building located just north of the northeast corner of the site. We previously
conducted a geotechnical engineering evaluation on behalf of Cabela's presented in
a letter to the Colorado Division of Minerals and GeQlogy (DMGI dated March 4,
2005, which generally addressed this topic around the site perimeter, but did not
specifically address the Table Mountain Animal Center.
As explained in our previous letter, DMG rules and regulations require all 110 permit
applicants to examine the potential for mining excavations to potentially damage
nearby structures as a result of instability of excavated slopes DMG requires that a
slope stability factor of safety of 1.5 be provided for any potential slope failure that
could affect an off-site structure. In our previous letter, we explained that the slope
stability factor of safety will be greater than 1.5 for any potential slope failure
surfaces extlmding off site. That conclusion assumed that there would be a 30-foot
setback of any of the grading operations from the property boundary. At the
northeast corner of the site, due to the proximity of the proposed Cabela's building
pad to that site corner, it is desired to excavate temporary slopes to within about 5
feet of the property line. The proposed slopes will be approximately 1.5 1
(horizontal:vertical) in the upper 25 to 30 feet and 3.1 in the lower 15 to 20 feet
Therefore, we were requested to reevaluate the potential for slope failures to impact
the Table Mountain Animal Center building.
The Table Mountain Animal Center building is located approximately 60 to 65 feet
north of the property boundary. We have performed an analysis indicating that the
slope stability factor of safety will exceed 1.5 for any potential slope failures that
would impact the building, Furthermore, based on our understanding of the past
mining operations at the site, there was a very steep excavation slope, reported by
Coors to have been nearly vertical, near the property boundary during mining

operatiOfls. Subsequently, till materials were placed by Coors against the steep
excavated slope as part ot initial reclamation activities. Both the current
configuration and the proposed configuration during the Cabela's grading are more
stable slope configurations than existed during the mining activities.
Please contact us if you have any questions or if we can be of further assistance.

MEMORANDUM
TO:
JERRY DAHL, CITY ATIORNEY, CARMEN BEERY,
ATTORNEY, SGT. PAULA BALAFAS, JUDGE CHRIS
RANDALL, JUDGE CHARLES ROSE
CAROLlNB PENALOZA, ASSISTANT CITY A ITORNEY
PROPOSAL TO AMEND W.R..M,C. 16-127 (e)/SALE OF
ALCOHOL TO MINORS
FROM:
RE:
DATE:
April 6, 2.005
Sergeant Balafas, who has recently stepped up enforcement on retail alcohol
sales to those under twenty-one, brought my attention to the language
contained in Wheat Ridge Code Section 16- I 27( d). A recent enforcement
operation involved Jefferson County Sheriff Cadets under the age of twenty-
one attempting to buy alcohol from various retail stores within the City.
W.RP .D. issued numerous citations to retail employees under 16-127( d) as
aresult of this sting operntion.
The subsection under which the seners were charged, 16-127(d), addresses
purebasing, procuring or obtaining alcohol with the intent to procure, sell or
provide sueh alcohol to a person under the age of twenty-one (see attached
copy). This language appears to contemplate a fact pattern in which a
person obtains alcohol from a retail establisbtnent and then intentionally
gives or sells it to an underage person, not a retail sale in wbich the seller
fails to detemrine the age of the buyer.
Because the W.R..P.D. intends to continue to pursue enfurcement operations
of retail liquor sellers, I propose that the Wheat Ridge Code be amended to
track C.RS. l2-47-901{a) (see attached). The language of the statute does
not specifY intent, but rather makes it unlawful:
(a) To sell, serve, give away, dispose of, exchange. or deliver
or permit the sale, serving, giving, or procuring of any
alcohol beverage to or fonmy person under the age of
twenty-one years, to a visibly intoxicated person, or to a
\mown babitual drunkard.
ATTACHMENT 1
p.~
This portion of the state law closely mirrors another portion of the
W.RM.C., 16-127(e). The key difference between the State law and our
City Code is that the Wheat Ridge Code omits "any person under the age of
twenty-one" and only applies to "visibly intoxicated pel.'son{s)" and
"habilllal drunkard(s)." The most straightforward solution would be to add
the category of underage persons to subsection (e) and leave subsection (d)
as it is.
Please contact me with any concerns, ideas or input regarding this proposed
amendment (303-235-2g,ro). I mow Sergeant Balafas would be thankful to
get this amendedas quickly as possible,'
Thanks,
Caroline

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
ThiS ordinance would amend Section 16-103 of the Wheat Ridge Code of Laws, clanfying
unreasonable nOise; disturbing the peace. A staff report regarding this ordinance was presented to
City Council at the May 2, 2005 Study Session.
COMMISSION/BOARD RECOMMENDATION:
None.
STATEMENT OF THE ISSUES:
The present Code of Laws section concerning unreasonable noise; disturbing the peace is limited in
scope and difficult to prove In court because it does not set an objective level by which to measure
noise. In addition, an officer carmot be the complaining party for an unreasonable noise violation.
This section does not, but should establish an objective measure of unreasonable noise and allow an
officer who personally observes a violation of this ordinance to serve as the complaining party in
the prosecution of such a complaint.
GEDIWR/RFCNOIl\
AL TERNA TIVES CONSIDERED:
Do not amend the current section of the Code of Laws.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
None.
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
"I move to approve Council Bill 09-2005 on first reading, order it pubhshed, public hearing set for
Monday, June 13,2005 at 7-00 p.m. in City Council Chambers, and that It take effect 15 days after
final publication."

WHEAT RIDGE POLICE DEPARTMENT
MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Gretchen Cerveny and City Council
VIA: Randy Young, City Manage~/)G
FROM: Daniel Brennan, Chief of Police ~~,-O \
DATE. April 18th, 2005
SUBJECT: Unnecessary Noise/Disturbing the Peace Ordinance
BACKGROUND
The Wheat Ridge Police Department responds to Disturbing the Peace calls on a daily basis.
Analyzing statistics for the years 2001 through 2004, we discovered that Wheat Ridge Police
officers handled Disturbing the Peace calls on an average of 112 per month.
-
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM
Citizens often call to report loud car stereos in their neighborhoods. These loud car stereos can
often be heard several blocks away, disturbing the peace of our citizens. Many of these citizens
are reluctant to either provide their names to dispatch or allow the police to contact them as
witnesses against the person responsible for the loud car stereos. Officers who hear loud car
stereos and want to enforce the current Disturbing the Peace ordinance cannot be considered
as "victims" of the unnecessary noise.
Citizens who live near parks or greenbelt areas are often confronted with loud portable stereos.
These citizens would like for the police to be able to stop the source of the noise, but they are
reluctant to have the police contact them so that a complaint can be lodged.
Additionally, as the Wheat Ridge Disturbing the Peace ordinance is currently written, the only
standard that can be used for enforcement is, "sound at such a level, or at such an hour, as to
disturb the peace of any other person." This standard is difficult to prove in court because it is
not an objective level by which to measure the noise.
The result of these factors is that the people responsible for disturbing the peace of our citizens
are rarely held accountable for their actions.
ALTERNATIVES
1. Amend the current ordinance to permit the police to be the complaining parties and
provide an objective measure of unreasonable noise
2. Amend the ordinance as in option #1 and provide specific decibel levels as a measure of
noise
ATTACHMENT 1
3. Continue enforcement efforts with the existing ordinance.
RECOMMENDATION
Option #2 would require the police department to purchase sound meters that cost
approximately $1500 each. This option appears cost-prohibitive.
Option #3 does not adequately address our current enforcement needs for the reasons stated
above
We recommend option #1, as implemented in the attached ordinance We believe that this
change in the ordinance's language will improve the enforcement and prosecution of
unnecessary noise that disturbs the peace of our citizens. We recommend that the Mayor and
the City Council consider repealing the current Disturbing the Peace ordinance, and enacting a
new ordinance, which effectively deals with regulating Unnecessary Noise and Disturbing the
Peace. This new ordinance would allow for police officers to be the complainants on
Unnecessary Noise complaints, in addition to providing an objective measure of unreasonable
noise.
The City Attorney's office has already drafted a new ordinance at the request of the police
department. This new ordinance subjects any noise/sound to an objective standard, specifically
that it will be deemed unreasonable any sound which is audible twenty-five (25) or more feet
from the noise or sound source. The new ordinance also deals specifically with noise created in
multi-unit dwellings, and with trash truck pick-ups after 11 :OOpm and before 7'OOam The
ordinance will also allow for any member of the police department who personally observes a
violation of this ordinance to serve as the complaining party in the prosecution of such a
violation, regardless of whether or not the officer's observation was initiated by the complaint of
another party.
--
The new ordinance has been reviewed by the Police Department, Courts, the City Prosecutor,
and the Wheat Ridge Judiciary. Each of these segments of the City's government have
endorsed the attached ordinance.

Potential for Adverse Effects of Proposed Cabela's Site Grading
Activities on Table Mountain Animal Center Building, Northeast
Corner of Proposed Cabela's Site, Near 1-70 and Clear Creek, Wheat
Ridge, Colorado
Project No. 04-1-400
Dear Mr. Lococo:
This letter presents the results of Kumar & Associates' evaluation of the potential
for proposed grading activities associated with the Cabela's site development to
adversely effect the stability of Jefferson County's Table Mountain Animal Center
building located just north of the northeast corner of the site. We previously
conducted a geotechnical engineering evaluation on behalf of Cabela's presented in
a letter to the Colorado Division of Minerals and Geology (DMG) dated March 4,
2005, which generally addressed this topic around the site perimeter, but did not
specifically address the Table Mountain Animal Center
As explained in our previous letter, DMG rules and regulations require all 110 permit
applicants to examine the potential for mining excavations to potentially damage
nearby structures as a result of instability of excavated slopes. DMG requires that a
slope stability factor of safety of 1.5 be provided for any potential slope failure that
could affect an off-site structure. In our previous letter, we explained that the slope
stability factor of safety will be greater than 1.6 for eny potential slope failure
surfaces extending off site, That conclusion assumed that there would be a 30-foot
setback of any of the grading operations from the property boundary. At the
northeast corner of the site, due to the proximity of the proposed Cabela's building
pad to that site corner, it is desired to excavate temporary slopes to within about 5
feet of the property line. The proposed slopes will be approximately 1 5 1
Ihorizontal:vertical) in the upper 25 to 30 feet and 3 1 in the lower 15 to 20 feet
Therefore, we were requested to reevaluate the potential for slope failures to impact
the Table Mountain Animal Center building.
The Table Mountain Animal Center building is located approximatety 60 to 65 feet
north of the property boundary. We have performed an analysis indicating that the
slope stability factor of safety will exceed 1,5 for any potential slope failures that
would impact the building. Furthermore, based on our understanding of the past
mining operations at the site, there was a very steep excavation slope, reported by
Coors to have been nearly )lertieat, near the property boundary during mining

operations. Subsequently, fill mattlrials were placed by Coors ",gainst the steep
excavated slope as part of initial reclamation activities. Both the current
configuration ",nd the proposed configuration during the Cabela's grading are mOre
stable slope configurations than existed duting the mining activities.

This letter presents the results of Kumar & Associates' evaluation of the potential
for proposed grading activities associated with the Cabela's site development to
adversely effect the stability of Jefferson County's Table Mountain Animal Center
building located just north of the northeast corner of the site. We previously
conducted a geotechnical engineering evaluation on behalf of Cabela's presented in
a letter to the Colorado Division of Minerals and Geology (DMGl dated March 4,
2005, which generally addressed this topic around the site perimeter, but did not
specifically address the Table Mountain Animal Center.
As explained in our previous letter, DMG rules and regulations require all 110 permit
applicants to examine the potential for mining excavations to potentially damage
nearby structures as a result of instability of excavated slopes. DMG requires that a
slope stability factor of safety of 1.5 be provided for any potential slope failuce that
could affect an off-site structure. In our previous letter, we explained that the slope
stability factor of safety will be greater than 1.6 for any potential slope failure
surfaces extending off site. That conclusion assumed that there would be a 30-foot
setback of any of the grading operations from the property boundary. At the
northeast comer of the site, due to the proximity of the proposed Cabela's building
pad to that site corner, it is desired to excavate temporary slopes to within about 5
feet of the property line. The proposed slopes will be approximately 1.5 1
ihorizontal:vertical) in the upper 25 to 30 feet and 3 1 in the lower 15 to 20 feet
Therefore, we were requested to reevaluate the potential for slope failures to impact
the Table Mountain Animal Center building.
The Table Mountain Animal Center building is located approximately 60 to 65 feet
north of the property boundary. We have performed an analysis indicllting that the
slope stability factor of safety will exceed 1.5 for any potential slope failures that
would impact the building_ Furthermore, based on our understanding of the past
mining operations at the site, there was a very steep excavation slope, reported by
Coors to have been nearly :vertical, near the property boundary during mining

nearby structures as a result of instability of excavated slopes. DMG requires that a
slope stability factor of safety of 1.5 be provided for any potential slope tailure that
could affect an off-site structure. In our previous letter, we explained that the slope
stability factor of safety will be greater than 1,5 for Imy potential slope tailure
surfaces extending off site. That conclusion assumed that there would be a 30-foot
setback of any of the grading operations from the property boundary At the
northeast corner ot the site, due to the proximity of the proposed Cabela's building
pad to that site corner, it is desired to excavate temporary slopes to within about 5
feet ot the property line. The proposed slopes will be approximately 1 5 1
(horizontal:verticaj) in the upper 25 to 30 feet and 3; 1 in the lower 15 to 20 teet
Therefore, we were requested to reevaluate the potential for slope failures to impact
the Table Mountain Animal Center building.
The Table Mountain Animal Center building is located approximately 60 to 65 feet
north of the property boundary. We have performed an analysis indicating that the
slope stability factor of safety will exceed 1.5 for any potential slope failures that
would impact the building, Furthermore, based on our understanding of the past
mining operations at the site, there was a very steep excavation slope, reported by
Coors to have been nearly yertical, near the property boundary during mining
