7. PUBLIC HEARING
Chair THOMPSON declared the Public Hearings open.
A. Case No. WZ-98-1/SUP-98-3:: An application by Vashi Sacharandam requesting
a rezone from A-2 and R-1 to R-C with a special use to allow recreational vehicle
rental and sales with site plan approval with a 4' fence height variance located at
12200 West 44th Avenue.
Meredith Reckert presented an overview of the case. The overview also included slide pictures
and aerial photographs of the business and the surrounding area. Ms. Reckert entered into the
record the Comprehensive Plan, Zoning Ordinance, Case File, Packet Materials and Exhibits.
(Accepted by Chair THOMPSON.) The property is located within the City of Wheat Ridge, all
proper posting and notification requirements were met and therefore the Commission does have
jurisdiction to hear the case.
Ms. Reckert noted that concerns with site drainage, emissions, product disposal system and the
potential effect on wells in the area have been addressed and mitigated. She informed that
drainage from the site would go north to the sanitary sewer on 44th Avenue and would not affect
the wells in the area.
Ms. Reckert reviewed the Evaluation Criteria for a rezoning, a special use permit, and a variance
informing that the criteria had been met. Ms. Reckert noted that the interim residential land use
plan of the Comprehensive Plan pertaining to density changes shows the lower portion as single
family with 1-5 dwellings per acre. Ms. Reckert added that the southern side of the property was
found not to be in the 100 year flood plain.
Ms. Reckert concluded that the request for rezoning, special use permit, and variance would fill a
void in services and provide a public benefit. The criteria used to evaluate the applicant's request
supports a recommendation of Approval with a number of conditions.
Commissioner SNOW discussed the 50' building height limitation and the possibility of adding a
condition limiting this use and any future use to a 20' building height limitation.
Planning Commission Page 2
02/05/98
Commissioner BRINKMAN discussed the location of the fence and the use of Blue Spruce trees.
She discussed her concerns with the height and width of the Blue Spruces that they may interfere
with the fence and the power lines.
Chair THOMPSON asked what this property could be zoned to give the best protection to the
neighborhood. Ms. Reckert responded that due to the shape of this parcel, the R-C use would
allow all the uses of the R-CI as well as retail up to 2,000 square feet. She noted that a 20'
building height limit for this lot could be added as well as a note in the future rezoning ordinance
that any use of this area would require site plan approval.
Chair THOMPSON swore in Ms. Summer Chase, applicant's representative, 6783 Valley Drive,
Morrison. Ms. Chase presented various photos showing access to the site and distributed sales
information for the Commission's information. She discussed the drainage from the property as
well as the waste water from the wash bays going into the sanitary sewer system. She further
noted that the property was not located within the 100 year flood plain and that the 10' fence
would benefit the neighbors by buffering their property and the east side where additional
commercial development exists. She informed that the owner had no problems with the
conditions being imposed by staff. Upon questioning by Commissioner SNOW, Ms. Chase
noted that there would be no propane fueling on this site.
In response to Commissioner BRINKMAN's concerns with use of the Blue Spruces, Ms. Chase
informed that they would have no problem in using a different species of tree and agreed to work
with the City Arborist to determine which species would give sufficient buffering without
interfering with the power lines or fences.
Commissioner GOKEY discussed his concern with maintenance of the area along the fence
outside of the property and requested that some form of ground cover or maintenance be used to
stop the area from becoming an eyesore.
Mark Palumbo, HRS Water Consultants, Inc., 200 Union Plaza Boulevard, Suite 200, Lakewood,
Co. Mr. Palumbo informed that he had prepared the report concerning this project's potential
effects to neighboring domestic water wells, to the Slater-Moody Ditch and the paving
improvements and their effect on the Clear Creek flood plain. He informed that since this
business would be supplied with City water and sewer, that there would be no impact on the
surrounding wells and on the Slater-Moody Ditch. He further reported that since this area is not
located in the 100 year flood plain, that the paving improvements would have no negative
impact.
Chair THOMPSON discussed her concern with the idling of the RV's. Ms. Chase informed that
the RV's would be brought up to the front of the property and may idle for a short time to warm
up, but that the engines would be turned off as soon as they are returned to the back lot.
Commissioner SNOW requested that an access gate be added mid-way from the west side. Ms.
Chase stated that the owner would have no problem with adding a gate.
Nage 3
The following people were sworn in and spoke in favor of the application:
Tony Ficco, 12425 W. 38th Avenue. Mr. Ficco, developer of the commercial property to
the east, noted that he had an agreement with the applicant to pay for half of the fence
and to put trees on his side of the fence. He in turn would allow access across his
property giving the applicant access to the fire plug. Mr. Ficco informed that a gate
would be added to the fence for fire plug access. He also added that he would like to
meet with the applicant to make sure that drainage from their property doesn't run onto
his property.
Commissioner GOKEY discussed the landscaping and the sprinkler systems. Mr. Ficco
informed that he will be adding a drip system for the landscaping. Ms. Reckert informed that a
condition could be added referencing the landscaping and access agreements between Mr. Ficco
and the applicant.
The following people were sworn in and spoke in opposition to the application:
Curt Anderson, 4330 Vivian Street. Mr. Anderson noted numerous concerns he had with
the fence (placement, materials and maintenance), tree species being used, thickness of
the paved surface, water drainage, wash bay, hazardous waste, and building height.
Commissioner GOKEY responded that if hard surfaces are used and a proper drainage system is
installed in that complex, then the chemicals would not affect the ground water. He also noted
that the current building is at least 20' tall and that the request is consistent with use of the
property within the last ten years. He informed that any future use would have to come before
the Commission for approval.
Ms. Reckert responded that the residue and water from the wash bay would drain directly into
the sanitary sewer. She also noted that the fence material would be of solid cedar.
Also speaking in opposition to the application:
Margie Krieg, (did not give address).
Wayne Bonger, 4340 Vivian.
Diane Tipton, 4311 Tabor.
Karen Cleaveland, property owner, 12200 W. 44th Avenue. Stated that previous use of this
property included use of chemicals with no impact on the wells or water quality. She stated that
the shape of the property made its use difficult under the current zoning.

Planning Commission Page 6
02/05/98
Commissioner GOKEY noted that this condition would be difficult to police.
The motion FAILED for lack of a second.
The Commission was recessed at 9:53 p.m. and reconvened at 10:04 p.m. by Chair
THOMPSON.
B. Case No. W7,98-2/SUP-99-2: An application by Rodne Brewer, Brewer Tire
Company requesting a change of zoning conditions on property zoned C-I with a
special use to allow for the continuation and expansion of a tire servicing facility
including semi-trucks on property zoned C-1 and C-2 and with site plan approval
including a 4' fence height variance located at 11800 and 11900 W. 44th Avenue.
Chair THOMPSON noted for the record, that on February 22, 1992, she spoke before the City
Council concerning the rezoning of this property. She stated that she has no financial interest in
this case and has been appointed to represent citizens of District IV to make impartial decisions.
Since there has been a span of six year since this case came before the City, she feels she is
qualified to hear this case as she has been on any other case that has been before the Commission
since her appoint and that she would being hearing and deciding on the issues.
Meredith Reckert presented an overview of the case. The overview also included pictures and
aerial photographs of the business and the surrounding area. Ms. Reckert entered into the record
the Comprehensive Plan, Zoning Ordinance, Case File, Packet Materials and Exhibits.
(Accepted by Chair THOMPSON.) The property is located within the City of Wheat Ridge, all
proper posting and notification requirements were met and, therefore, the Commission does have
jurisdiction to hear the case.
Ms. Reckert noted that the request is consistent with the existing zoning on the east, but is
inconsistent on the southern half of the property.
Ms. Reckert reviewed the Evaluation Criteria for a rezoning, a special use permit and a variance
informing that staff had concerns with semi-trucks being brought in closer to the residential area
and inconsistency of the proposal with the designations of the Comprehensive Plan and Fruitdale
Valley Master Plan. She discussed the problem with a zone designation of C-1 in this area
because of the development intensities, provision for outdoor storage, and the adjacent residential
areas to the south and east. In addition, staff would have difficulty administering one zone
classification with a single use. Other options available would be R-C with a special use permit
or perhaps a PCD. She noted that during the original zoning hearing in 1992 for the RV storage
lot, that staff did give City Council an option to rezone to R-C with a special use permit, but that
suggestions was not taken under advisement.
Ms. Reckert concluded that although the change of zone conditions on the eastern property to
allow unrestricted or an additional use in Commercial-One is consistent with the commercial
designation on the Comprehensive Plan for the north half of the property, the proposal is
inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan for the medium density residential designation and
Planning Commission Page 7
02/05/98
the designation of the interim residential land use plan on the south. Because of this
inconsistency, many of the permitted C-1 uses would be incompatible with residential zoning
and land use on the south and east. In addition, staff found the special use permit request for the
new facility to be inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan and the Fruitdale Valley Master
Plan. Based on these findings, staff is recommending denial of WZ-98-2 and denial of the
special use permit for 11800 W. 44th Avenue. Staff does support and recommend approval of
the special use permit for 11900 W. 44th Avenue.
Commissioner SNOW discussed how the zoning designations of C-1 and C-2 on the western
parcel do not allow servicing of semi-trucks and, therefore, making the applicant's request
inconsistent with the zoning code. Ms. Reckert responded that the use was legal prior to the
rezoning which then allowed semi-trucks in both zones and the parking of over 3 trucks on a
very limited basis under a special use permit. Commissioner SNOW questioned the restrictions
on truck weight limits on 44th Avenue east of the truck stop. Bob Goebel noted that there are
restrictions east of the truck stop limiting vehicles over 7,000 pounds.
Commissioner SNOW questioned the land use designation in a C-1 or C-2 zone that no servicing
of semi-trucks would be allowed. Ms. Reckert responded that the City Attorney's interpretation
of the zoning designations was that it was to be cleared that as an allowed use in the C-1 zoning
there could be no servicing of semi-trucks, but that it did not preclude them from applying for a
special use permit.
Chair THOMPSON discussed the need for decel lane along 44th Avenue entering this location.
She explained her concern with children from the apartments across the street and the trucks
blocking traffic as they enter and exit the location.
Chair THOMPSON swore in Mr. Glen Gidley.
Glen Gidley, ZAPA & Associates, applicant's representative, 8684 W. Warren Drive, Lakewood.
Clarified the request of the applicant informing that the applicant is attempting to improve traffic
conditions at this location. Currently, 70' semi-trucks have to back out of the property. The new
building will allow the largest semi-trucks to enter and exit the property without backing up onto
44th Avenue. The applicant is requesting to replace the RV storage with a building on the C-1
zoned area which will service all size trucks not semi-trucks only. He informed that the
applicant would not have a problem with designing and building a decel lane off of 44th Avenue
in front of the eastern property. Mr. Gidley noted that the applicant is proposing substantially
more landscaping and buffering than required by the City and has made every attempt to address
all concerns of the residents and City including idling times, fences, gates, recorded easement for
irrigation ditch, building height, buffering, building location, relocation of the tire recapping
operation; reduction of the tire corral area, landscaping, elimination of the loudspeakers, and
shielding of the yard lights.
(Commissioners Snow and Rasplicka exited the meeting at 11:07 p.m. and returned at 11:10
P.M.)
Planning Commission Page 8
02/05/98
Mr. Gidley mentioned two concerns of the applicant: 1) Tabor Street dedication being requested
by Public Works, and 2) development impact fees being requested. He mentioned that the
applicant's request is not for a rezoning and noted that this area would not be developed as
residential since that would be inconsistent with the zoning.
(Commissioner Theander exited the meeting at 11:39 p.m. and returned at 11:41 p.m.)
Commissioner GOKEY discussed the current situation with the large semi-trucks backing out
onto 44th Avenue and the size of the proposed building. Mr. Gidley responded that at the time
the original building was built, the largest semi-truck was. only 55'. Currently, the larger size
semi-truck is 70' and unable to maneuver around the existing building. He added that the
proposed building would accommodate maneuvering of the large 70' trucks and would service
two trucks at one time.
Commissioner BRINKMAN discussed the tire storage area and how often the tires would be
transported to the new recapping center. She also discussed her concern with trucks stacking up
or parking in the northeast corner. Mr. Gidley informed that the old tires would be transported to
the recapping center twice a week and that trucks would not stack up and park in the south
corner. He also informed that they would have an irrigation system for their property, but not for
the open space area.
Commissioner SNOW stated that the Comprehensive Plan shows low density on the southern
portion of the area. Exhaust from the semi-trucks would not be compatible with the surrounding
residential area and fencing would not mitigate the exhaust.
Chair THOMPSON discussed her concerns with the lack of decel lane, exhaust system in the
new building, recapping facility and why the facility could not be relocated if this application is
not approved, the potential of this expanded operation to entice additional semi-trucks into the
area, the truck traffic on 44th Avenue, and whether or not approval of this proposal would be
incompatible with the City's laws of limiting the trucks on 44th Avenue.
Upon questioning by Commissioner BRINKMAN, Mr. Gidley informed that the applicant would
agree to accept a condition that trucks would not be allowed to park in the south portion of the
property.
Alex Brewer, President, Brewer Tire Company, 11900 W. 44th Avenue. Informed the
Commission that the new service building would not increase business from their service fleet.
The service fleet will still service those vehicles which are unable to come into the service center.
He added that a person would be on site to let the trucks into the property at 6:00 a.m. even
though the service center will open at 7:00 a.m.
Upon questioning by Commissioner RASPLICKA, Ms. Reckert explained that under the current
ordinance, the City does not allow land vesting with special use permits.
Planning Commission
02/05/98
Chair THOMPSON requested the applicant ensure that the storage area be large enough to
contain the old tires prior to their being removed. In addition, she requested that the area be
fenced with adequate screening.
The following people were sworn in and spoke in opposition to the application:
George Isquith, 4350 Tabor Street.
Diane Tipton, 4311 Tabor Street.
Heinz Sills, 15745 Hwy. 35, Fort Morgan. Owner of Heinies Market.
The following person was sworn in and spoke in favor of the application:
Bob Rock, 4300 Tabor Street.
(Commissioner Theander exited the meeting at 12:31 a.m. and returned at 12:34 a.m.)
Commissioner SNOW moved that the request to change zoning conditions on property located at
11800 W. 44th Avenue be DENIED for the following reasons:
1. It is inconsistent with designations on the Comprehensive Plan and the Fruitdale
Valley Master Plan and the most recent Residential Future Land Use Plan.
2. It is incompatible with adjacent land use to the south and east and open space land
to the south.
The motion was seconded by Commissioner BRINKMAN and failed to carry with
Commissioners GOKEY, RASPLICKA, THEANDER AND WILLIAMS voting NO and
Commissioner SHOCKLEY absent.
Commissioner THEANDER moved to APPROVE WZ-98-2, the request to change zoning
conditions on the property located at 11800 West 44th Avenue for the following reasons:
1. It is compatible with the adjacent land use to the west and to the east.
2. Does not adversely impact the health, safety and welfare of adjacent properties.
3. Applicant has provided buffering with site plan exceeding City standards.
4. Historic use of the property has been commercial in nature.
5. Neighborhood concerns had been resolved.
The motion was seconded Commissioner RASPLICKA.
Commissioner SNOW noted for the record that she would be voting NO due to the impact and
damage to the neighborhood.
Chair THOMPSON noted for the record that she would be voting NO since she has consistently
been concerned with truck traffic adjacent to residential property, votes on previous applications
(i.e., Richter) have been indicative of her concerns with the types of uses adjacent to residential
properties. She also stated concerns with the additional noise, pollution and the additional truck
traffic east of the truck stop which has been proven over again that the City has had to come up
Planning Commission Page 10
02/05/98
with a plan to protect the whole Fruitdale Valley from Kipling Street to Ward Road from the
additional truck traffic which is generated by the truck stop and this current request would only
increase and encourage something that people in that area have fought for years. In addition, one
of the major concerns of the Tabor Street people was truck traffic and she too indicated her
concern to those residents of her concern with the truck traffic. Feels that this property could be
used in a more compatible way for the residents. Also concerned that if this business is sold,
although the Brewer's have proven to be good neighbors and business people, future owner may
not.
Commissioner BRINKMAN noted for the record that she would be voting NO on this
application since it is inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan and because of wording within
the City Code that, "it is the intent to exclude body work or painting and to exclude any such use
primarily for service repair or maintenance to truck tractors or semi-trailers." Feels that this is
the least evasive use which could be at this location, but feels the use is inconsistent.
The motion carried with Commissioners SNOW, BRINKMAN and Chair THOMPSON voting
NO, and Commissioner SHOCKLEY absent.
Commissioner WILLIAMS moved and Commissioner RASPLICKA seconded to APPROVE
SUP-98-2, a request to allow special use permit to allow servicing on semi-trucks on property at
11800 W. 44th Avenue for the following reasons:
1. It will allow an existing business within the City to continue to operate.
2. It will continue to fill a void in the market.
Chair THOMPSON asked that the following conditions be added to the motion:
1. That a solid 10' fence with landscaping be placed along the west side of the
property.
2. The recapping operation be removed from the property.
Commissioner BRINKMAN asked that the following condition be added to the main motion:
3. Delimiter line be drawn on the site plan so that no parking be allowed on the
southern part of the property from the back (south side) of the new service tire
building to the south property line.
It was moved by Commissioner SNOW, seconded by Commissioner BRINKMAN and
unanimously carried with Commissioner SHOCKLEY absent, to amend the main motion to
direct the Public Works Department to evaluate the need for an excel/decel lane based on safety
needs and traffic flow on W. 44th Avenue and Tabor Street and to make a recommendation prior
to the City Council hearings.
Planning Commission Page 11
02/05/98
Commissioner GOKEY asked that the following condition be added to the main motion:
4. That the detention pond be brought to the front of the property to lesson the
pressure on the homeowner towards the rear of the property.
All conditions by Commissioners SNOW, BRINKMAN and GOKEY were accepted by the
maker and second of the main motion.
Commissioner SNOW and Chair THOMPSON reiterated their reasons for voting NO.
The main motion to approve SUP-98-2 along with the above stated conditions carried with
Commissioners BRINKMAN, SNOW and Chair THOMPSON voting NO.
Commissioner WILLIAMS moved and Commissioner THEANDER seconded to APPROVE
SUP-98-2, a request to allow a special use permit to allow tire servicing on semi-trucks on
property located at 11900 West 44th Avenue for the following reasons:
1. It will allow an existing business within the City to continue to operate.
2. It will continue to fill a void in the market.
With the following conditions:
That the 6' high chainlink fence along the rear property line be replaced with a 6'
high opaque/solid fence.
That vertical landscaping be installed on the open space land in accordance with
the recommendation from the Parks and Recreation Commission.
Commissioner SNOW noted for the record that she would vote YES for this request since it was
an existing use.
Chair THOMPSON noted for the record that she would vote YES for this request since it was an
existing use and it would eliminate the tire recapping operation.
The motion unanimously carried with Commissioner SHOCKLEY absent.
It was moved by Commissioner SNOW, seconded by Commissioner THEANDER and
unanimously carried with Commissioner SHOCKLEY absent, to APPROVE the request for
variance to approve the four foot variance to the fence height and allow a 10' fence along the
