PUBLIC HEARING
A. Case No. WZ-99-09: An application submitted by J. R. Blumenthal for approval of a
rezoning from Agricultural-One to Planned Commercial Development, approval of an amended
Outline and Final Development Plan, and approval of a consolidation plat for property located
at 4651 Tabor Street.
This case was presented by Martin Omer. He reviewed the staff report and presented overheads
and slides of the subject property. All pertinent documents were entered into the record and
Mr. Omer advised that there was jurisdiction to hear the case. Staff recommended approval of
the application with certain conditions as outlined in the staff report.
Commissioner SNOW asked for clarification about landscaping. Mr. Omer replied that there is
presently 25% landscaping as approved in 1995. The applicant is proposing to landscape 20%
of the combined overall site.
In response to a question from Commissioner SNOW, Mr. Omer replied that snowmobiles and
all terrain vehicles (ATV's) are classified as personal recreational vehicles. Small water craft
(such as jet skis and wave runners) are classified as boats.
Commissioner THOMPSON expressed concern that Tabor Street was not constructed to
accommodate semi-trailer trucks. Also, she wanted consideration given to the fact that semi
drivers ignore "no parking" and "no truck traffic" signs. She felt that if semi's are allowed to
deliver onto the property, the access drive needs to be made adequate and have adequate sight
triangles, and that semi's must be able to park on the property and not outside of it. She
expressed concern that this property not develop into RV sales or industrial use.
Commissioner MACDOUGALL expressed concern about the noise factor associated with test
driving of ATV's.
Commissioner DOYLE inquired about screening of rental vehicles from adjacent properties.
Mr. Omer stated that it was his understanding that the applicant has agreed to screen rental
equipment areas from Tabor Street.
(Vice Chair GOKEY announced a brief recess at 8:50 p.m. The meeting was reconvened at
9:10 p.m.)
Glen Gidley
8684 West Warren Drive, Lakewood
Mr. Gidley, representing the applicant, was sworn in by Vice Chair GOKEY. He stated that
because businesses have to respond to the market, the applicant took advantage of the
opportunity to obtain an Artie Cat franchise a year after they opened business. The franchise
includes ATV's, snowmobiles and jet skis. They have been operating this component of
business for two years and, according to owner's records, the majority of ATV's and
Planning Commission Page
September 16, 1999
snowmobiles are used by ranchers. The predominant testing of ATV's occurs after they are
assembled on-site. All but three or four display ATV's are stored inside. He believed that
ATV's and snowmobiles fall under the classification of "other similar uses" and could find
nothing in writing that states these are not permitted uses.
Mr. Gidley reviewed the site plan and stated that the applicant purchased the subject triangle of
land primarily to take care of problems associated with delivery. He noted that, while the code
requires 10% landscaping, the plan provides 20%; the frontage on Tabor exceeds minimum
requirements for street trees; and the I-70 frontage road is a state highway and street tree
requirements should not apply (the applicant wants visibility from I-70).
In regard to neighborhood concerns, Mr. Gidley stated that the applicant plans to place a sign
on the property to prohibit delivery trucks from parking there and, if drivers park there anyway,
the neighbors can call the police and drivers will be ticketed. He noted that the plan
configuration will allow trucks to turn around on the site and that the owners have also
purchased their own semi-truck to pick up products and deliver them to their site in order to
decrease delivery trips by other trucks. He stated that the owner makes one order a year for
ATV's, snowmobiles and jet skis which results in one delivery per year. He stated that trees
were removed along the irrigation ditch at the request of the ditch company. In regard to
neighborhood comment that 30 trailers were allowed and now there are 200, he stated that the
applicant has always had over 200 trailers in inventory. In regard to detention area concerns,
parking on a regular basis will not be allowed and customer parking will take place on hard
surfaces.
In regard to concerns about semi's, Mr. Gidley stated that the area north of I-70 is an industrial
area with three access poinis, one of which is Tabor Street. His client's business didn't bring
the semi's to this area. He stated that the applicant averages two semi deliveries per week. He
included the prohibition of semi trucks and trailer parking from adjacent commercial zone
districts to ensure that the truck stop will not be allowed to expand onto this site and that, even
if the applicant sold his property to the truck stop, the truck stop could not use the land to park
trucks. In conclusion, he stated that the business generates a substantial amount of revenue for
the city and asked for approval of the application.
Jim Blumenthal
7048 Torrey, Arvada
Mr. Blumenthal, President of Trailer Source, was sworn in by Vice Chair GOKEY. In regard
to concerns about weeds on his property, he explained that he usually sprays them three times a
year, but this year he was waiting until the subject parcel was approved so that he could spray
the entire area at one time.
In response to a question from Commissioner COLLINS, Mr. Blumenthal said he would be
willing to move the driveway gate further down the driveway, but felt that this could encourage
trucks to park there for the weekend. Mr. Blumenthal stated that parking has not been allowed
in the detention area since neighbors complained. He stated that there have been 13 semi-truck
Planning Commission Page 3
September 16, 1999
deliveries over the past 90 days and that his plan would allow for semi's to turn around on the
property before exiting onto Tabor Street. In regard to a question from Commissioner DOYLE,
Mr. Blumenthal stated that US West placed a silt fence on the property.
Commissioner SNOW wanted assurance that flatbed trailers used by the applicant to haul
snowmobiles not be interpreted to mean flatbed trailers for semi-trucks. Commissioner SNOW
also expressed concern that the language was not specific enough to prevent semi's from
waiting to load or unload at adjacent businesses. Mr. Gidley stated that he would reword the
plan to make sure that this concern is addressed.
Mr. Gidley assured the Commission that his client has no intention of selling RV's or motor
homes.
Commissioner SNOW asked about storage of ATV's. Mr. Gidley explained that they have
approximately ten assembled ATV's and the others are stored in crates until such time as they
need to be assembled.
Commissioner THOMPSON expressed concern about the owner's semi-truck and asked if the
truck could be listed as a special use to preclude future owners from having several semi's on
the property. Mr. Gidley replied that he would include that requirement in the development
plan.
In response to a question from Commissioner THOMPSON, Mr. Gidley explained that the
Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) dictated the width of the applicant's driveway.
Commissioner MACDOUGALL asked if the pond located west of the building would be filled
in when the area is re-graded. Mr. Blumenthal replied that this low area is actually for the
collection of oil from a floor drain and was required by Fruitdale Sanitation District to keep oil
from draining into nearby ditches. Commissioner MACDOUGALL also requested the
applicant to cut the weeds south of the main building.
Commissioner SNOW asked if there was adequate room for the largest semi to turn around on
the property. Mr. Blumenthal replied there was adequate room for the longest single trailer
which is approximately 53 feet in length. In regard to concerns about double trailers making
deliveries onto the property, he stated that it would simply not be feasible for double trailers to
make deliveries to.the property.
In response to a question from Commissioner GOKEY, Mr. Blumenthal stated that no existing
landscaping will be removed and that additional landscaping will be added to the new piece of
property.
Mr. Blumenthal commented that it is hard to control semi's parking because drivers change
frequently, etc. and companies will sometimes send one order on three partial loads. In order to
address that problem, he stated that his company has a contract with his personal water craft
supplier which will allow him to send his own semi to pick up their entire order at one time.
Planning Commission Page 4
September 16, 1999
Commissioner THOMPSON requested that hours of test driving be spelled out and that the
plan be rewritten to ensure that future owners cannot use this area for an ATV track.
Vice Chair GOKEY asked to receive public comment.
Mr. White reminded the Commission that there is another application on the agenda and
Commission bylaws state that no public hearing shall be started after 11:00 p.m., except upon a
majority vote of the Commission.
It was moved by Commissioner THOMPSON and seconded by Commissioner SNOW
that the rules be suspended to continue the meeting in order to hear the second case on
the agenda after 11:00 p.m. The motion passed by a vote of 6-0 with Commissioner
BRINKMAN absent.
Kim Stewart
1700 West 46th Avenue
Ms. Stewart was sworn in by Vice Chair GOKEY. She stated that the neighborhood's quality
of life has been affected by the increased traffic and the ingress/egress from the property since
the inception of this business. In 1995 the applicant said they would have a minimal impact on
the neighborhood because few people could afford the high-end customized horse trailers. She
expressed concern about fire protection access to her neighborhood and noted that in addition to
semi's, Trailer Source customers also park in traffic lanes on Tabor. She didn't believe the plan
would alleviate the semi-truck problems.
Ms. Stewart stated that things had changed since the neighborhood meeting until this hearing.
She felt that personal recreational craft were out of compliance with the zoning and did not fit
in with horse related equipment (a limitation that was previously negotiated.) She also stated
that the 7000 pound empty weight limitation for vehicles using Tabor is violated all the time
and that the police department doesn't respond to complaints concerning this matter. She stated
that the neighborhood does not want future owners of this land to have the ability to sell cars
and RV's.
Ms. Stewart requested that the plan not be approved until a total site plan is submitted to
include the property immediately to the south of Trailer Source and that Trailer Source
demonstrate the ability to conform to the current zoning for at least 3-6 months before being
allowed to have any additional considerations. She further requested that Trailer Source not be
allowed to sell personal water craft, ATV's or any other motorized vehicles not allowed under
present zoning and that the sale of boats be removed as sales items. She asked that there be no
zoning change that would allow any type of floral sales, wholesale or otherwise; that Trailer
Source be held accountable for the endangerment of traffic on Tabor as their customers and
providers continue to park there during heavy use times; and that Trailer Source not be allowed
to utilize the property to the south as a parking lot until such time as the zoning is changed. She
stated that the proposed plan will increase traffic and traffic hazards and will not alleviate the
Planning Commission Page 5
September 16, 1999
problem of semi's or other vehicles getting in and out of Trailer Source or being there before or
after the business is open. She stated that the company has not honored current zoning and
citizen questions about these violations which have not been addressed until the present time.
She felt the matter appears weighted in favor of the business.
Commissioner THOMPSON asked if there was anything that would prevent a future owner
from turning this property into car dealership. Mr. White replied that this could not occur
unless the plan is amended to allow car sales. In response to a question from Commissioner
THOMPSON, Mr. White replied that camper trailers and boat sales were allowed in 1995.
Commissioner SNOW asked Ms. Stewart what she felt could go in this area without having an
impact on the neighborhood. Ms. Stewart replied that the neighborhood is asking for an over-
all honest plan rather than doing it piecemeal; and that they feel semi-trucks are dangerous on
Tabor Street.
Ed Moreno
4655 Swadley Street
Mr. Moreno was sworn in by Vice Chair GOKEY. He stated that his biggest concern in 1995
was that semi's would not be able to adequately turn in and out of the property and this has
proved to be true. He stated that it is very dangerous for semi's to park on Tabor. He requested
that the city install sidewalks for the school children in this area. He also expressed concern
about glare from additional advertising signs. He asked the Commission to deny this request
because it will increase existing traffic problems.
Rita Bader
4675 Swadley Street
Ms. Bader was sworn in by Vice Chair GOKEY. She expressed concern about drainage and
noted that the neighborhood has experienced flooding for the first time in thirty years. She was
not sure if the flooding was related to Trailer Source. She expressed concern about fire safety
and illuminated signs. She wanted to know the plans for the property to the south.
Ann Keller had signed up to speak, but stated that Kim Stewart addressed her concerns.
Vice Chair GOKEY asked if there were others present who wished to address this matter.
Hearing no response, Glen Gidley returned to the podium for rebuttal. Regarding horse-related
business, the applicant is continuing to do that; however, the additional uses such as selling
ATV's are permitted under Wheat Ridge ordinance. He commented that there will probably be
a rezoning request for the property to the south at some time in the future, but the applicant
doesn't have a plan for that land right now. He stated that the applicant is not parking Trailer
Source vehicles on that property now. He agreed that the city should install sidewalks on Tabor
Street. He stated the applicant is attempting to mitigate the delivery problems by acquiring his
own semi which should decrease deliveries by one-third. He further noted that, although there
has been discussion about major traffic problems, there have been no accidents since this
business opened in 1996.
Planning Commission Page 6
September 16, 1999
Commissioner COLLINS asked if any Trailer Source employees are parking on the south lot.
Mr. Blumenthal said that 2-3 employees park in that area, but he would agree to disallow that if
it is the Commission's wish. Commissioner COLLINS expressed concern about selling jet
skis, etc. since they are not horse related. Mr. Blumenthal stated that the horse business has
changed and sales are down and he is simply accommodating the changes in his business. He
also stated that he does not anticipate ever expanding onto the property next door.
Commissioner THOMPSON asked if the applicant would be willing to build a non-illuminated
monument sign on Tabor Street rather than a 25-foot high sign as allowed under the code. Mr.
Blumenthal agreed to this request.
Commissioner DOYLE asked how much of the business is related to water craft. Mr.
Blumenthal replied that this year he ordered for 65 snowmobiles, 70 ATV's and 15 water craft.
Commissioner DOYLE asked if he would consider eliminating the water craft. Mr..
Blumenthal explained that taking on the line of Artie Cat involves the entire line which
includes generators, ATV's, snowmobiles and water craft
It was moved by Commissioner COLLINS and seconded by Commissioner SNOW that
the hearing be continued until a new plan is formulated to move the gate back 60 feet to
take some traffic off of Tabor and allow for some designated parking areas.
Commissioner SNOW stated that if the motion fails, she would make a motion to deny the
application.
The applicant asked for a continuance to a date specific.
In response to a question from Commissioner THOMPSON, Mr. White stated that if this
request is denied, the applicant's next step would be to appeal to the City Council.
Commissioner SNOW withdrew her second. Therefore, Commissioner COLLINS'
motion died for lack of a second.
It was moved by Commissioner SNOW and seconded by Commissioner COLLINS that
Case No. WZ-99-09, a request for approval to rezone 1.3 acres from A-1 Agricultural to
PCD, Planned Commercial Development be recommended to the City Council for
DENIAL for the following reasons:
The proposed expanded sales and uses do not meet the intended use of the original
development which was primarily to be horse-related and portrayed as producing
limited traffic.
2. This business needs the use of semi-trailers which are not compatible with the
adjacent residential and agricultural uses.
Planning Commission Page 7
September 16, 1999
3. Adequate evidence has been presented that the traffic and parking generated from
this business impedes smooth traffic flow on Tabor and imposes safety hazards.
4. The addition of retail sales of snowmobiles, all-terrain vehicles, and water craft
and the traffic expected from those uses is projected to compound the traffic and
parking problems already caused by this business.
Commissioner GOKEY commented that traffic reports have not indicated a traffic hazard, there
have been no accidents in the area, and the Police Department has indicated no objections.
Commissioner SNOW responded that she takes testimony from the neighbors as evidence of
traffic problems.
Commissioner THOMPSON stated that, while she understands the neighbor's concerns as well
as the applicant's concerns, she felt that if the application is denied and proceeds to Council
there would be no way for the Commission's concerns to be presented and she would therefore
vote against the motion for denial.
Commissioner SNOW stated that, although she felt the applicant has done his best to fit in with
the neighborhood, this is a situation that cannot be remedied to make it compatible with the
neighborhood.
The motion failed by a vote of 2 to 4 with Commissioners THOMPSON, DOYLE,
GOKEY and MACDOUGALL voting no and Commissioner BRINKMAN absent.
It was moved by Commissioner THOMPSON and seconded by Commissioner
MACDOUGALL that Case No. WZ-99-09, a request for approval to rezone 1.3 acres

the City Council for APPROVAL for the following reasons:
1. Due to location and access characteristics, the subject property could not
reasonably be used for or by any other user than the applicant.
2. The uses proposed for the property are similar to uses permitted in other
commercially zoned districts of the City's zoning regulations.
3. Rezoning the property to Planned Commercial Development for the uses proposed
is consistent with the City's existing Comprehensive Plan.
