Public Hearing on a Request for a Special Use Permit and Front Setback Variance for property located at 4975 Kipling Street. (Case No. SUP-07-01 & WA-07-02/Quail) Mayor DiTullio opened the public hearing. Item 2 was introduced by Council Member Rotola. Travis Crane presented the staff report. Andy O/ree, representing the Architects of the site, spoke in favor of the case and was on-hand for questions from Council. Mayor DiTullio closed the public hearing. SDecial Use Permit Motion by Mrs. Rotola to approve Case No. SUP-07-01, a request for approval of a special use permit to allow for a drive through facility located at 4975 Kipling Street, for the following reasons: 1. The drive through facility should create little to no impact upon the general health, welfare, safety and convenience of persons residing or working in the neighborhood of the proposed use. 2. The drive through facility will not create nor contribute to blight in the neighborhood by virtue of physical or operational characteristics of the proposed use. With the following condition: 1. The grant of use shall be for the property and may be inherited. Seconded by Mr. Womble; carried 8-0. CITY COUNCIL MINUTES: February 26, 2007 Page-3- Variance Motion by Mrs. Rotola to approve Case No. WA-07-02, a request for approval of a 29.4- foot front yard setback variance, resulting in a 20.6-foot front yard setback for property located at 4975 Kipling Street, for the following reasons: 1. The hardship has not been created by the applicant, but rather is a product of dual frontage adjacent to right-of-way. Complying with the 50 foot front yard setback would greatly compromise the site layout and could severely impact required parking stalls. 2. The building will actually be located approximately 42 feet from the edge of Kipling Street. The presence of excess right-of-way gives the appearance of a greater front yard setback. 3. The building location will not affect the site distance triangle at West 50th Avenue and Kipling Street. 4. The request will not have a detrimental effect on air or light to adjacent properties. Seconded by Council Members Schulz and Womble; carried 8-0. DECISIONS. RESOLUTIONS. AND MOTIONS Item 3.

The Wadsworth Corridor Subarea Plan was prepared by Winston Associates and Community Development Department staff over the course of the last 15 months. The preparation of the plan fulfills two of Council's strategic goals to prepare plans for subareas in the City in order to prepare for growth and its opportunities and to address redevelopment of major corridors. This area was selected for one of the first subarea planning efforts because of the need to define a future roadway design and right-of-way needs for property owners and future developers as they consider redevelopment along the corridor. It is also important for the City to have an adopted plan for Wadsworth Blvd. prior to CDOT beginning any studies regarding widening ofthe roadway. CDOT must consider any locally adopted plans as part of the environmental assessment process that must be accomplished prior to any construction commencing. Several public meetings were held in the last year to obtain input from the public about what they would like to see for Wadsworth in the future. In addition, many meetings were held with Community Development and Public Works staff, as well as representatives from CDOT, to discuss future roadway design. The major goal of this plan is to provide a proactive vision for the Wadsworth Corridor Subarea. This will allow the City, current landowners, business owners and future developers to work together to stimulate economic development along the corridor. The Plan recommends a symmetrical "multi-way boulevard" as the future roadway design from 46th Avenue to approximately 38th Avenue. The sections north of 46th and south of 38th are recommended for a typical 6-lane section plus turn lanes. The multi-way boulevard consists of six center lanes to carry through-traffic. Parallel one-way frontage roads to access local shopping and provide on-street parking are separated from the through lanes by planting strips. Additional parking is provided to the rear of buildings and is accessed by a combination of service drives, alleys, and existing local streets. The Plan sets the stage for the development ofthe Wadsworth corridor between 44th and 38th Avenues as a town center for Wheat Ridge - filling in both sides of Wadsworth Blvd. with a mix of commercial, office and residential uses, convenient parking both on-street and behind the buildings, and broad sidewalks with benches, street tree plantings and areas for plazas and outdoor dining. Buildings within these blocks have minimal to no setbacks. The gradual increase in density and building heights closer to Wadsworth provides the critical mass of uses and residents that will help support the businesses in the Corridor and bring life to the town center. The Plan recommends expansion of Town Center Park as a large "central park" to provide a central focus for a town center as well as an area for events that will draw additional patrons to the area. A public event facility or other public use could also be located within the town center area. The Subarea Plan is proposed to supercede the Comprehensive Plan for the corridor. COMMISSION/BOARD RECOMMENDATION:. The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on February 1, 2007 and continued the hearing to March 1,2007. The commission voted 4-3 to not recommend approval of the plan for the following reasons: 1. There has been no attempt at quantifying or identifying impacts to existing residential and commercial properties. 2. The frontage roads, while they could be attractive and beneficial, are without local precedent. It's unproven within this report how they will work, or if they will work. They are a critical component, without which this plan really cannot work. 3. Added density is unsupported beyond the current PMUD limits and unsupported by public testimony. Density over 21 units per acre is contrary to the charter. 4. Without prejudice against new urbanism development, its success is tenuous when dissected by such a major highway as Wadsworth. It was further moved by the Commission to state the following resolution: I:\Comdev\Wadsworth Subarea Plan\Cont Hearing CAF.doc 1. The Planning Commission endorses an expedited study of relocating the traffic signal at Three Acre Lane to 41 st A venue to be initiated by the city. If the study reveals that traffic flow would be improved, the traffic signal should be relocated from Three Acre Lane to 41 st Avenue. 2. The Planning Commission endorses two sets of three through-lanes of traffic on Wadsworth from the north to the south city limits. 3. The Planning Commission endorses further study of frontage roads and endorses those frontage roads where it can be shown to improve pedestrian movement and viability of local businesses, particularly between 38th and 44th Avenues, and where it can be demonstrated to be feasible with ingress and egress solutions. STATEMENT OF THE ISSUES: A copy of the Plan is not being distributed since each member received a copy of the most recent version for the March 5th Study Session. The Plan as proposed is a package of recommendations addressing the future laneage configuration of Wadsworth, access, and land uses. The proposed land use plan will be difficult to implement without frontage roads, the key concept of the multi way boulevard. The typical CDOT approach does not lend itself to mixed use development at the edge of an eight-lane boulevard. The multi way boulevard, although potentially wider by 12 feet, provides a safer environment for pedestrians. Those.walking along Wadsworth are separated from through traffic by 30 feet; those crossing Wadsworth must cross 78 feet of pavement accommodating the through lanes. In the CDOT alternative, these figures are 10 feet and 110 feet, respectively. The Plan defines an "envelope" along Wadsworth wherein the City would discourage building permanent structures. This "envelope" is 162 feet in width and would accommodate either the multiway boulevard or the typical CDOT approach. The multiway boulevard concept could be accommodated in a right-of-way of 150 feet by reducing the width of the tree lawn and sidewalk. The Plan is a tool to guide staff, Council, and land use applicants in making decisions about development in the corridor before CDOT undertakes any widening. The multi way boulevard can evolve over time. Until the ultimate right-of-way is acquired by CDOT, owners can utilize the area in the 162-foot "envelope" outside the existing right-of-way for parking, landscaping, and other site development. The Plan is a planning document, not an engineering study. Follow-up engineering studies are recommended as next steps. The Plan it not a regulatory document that will require right-of-way dedication, nor will it be used for right-of-way acquisition. Maps examining the impacts of right- of-way acquisition will be prepared as part of the EIS process to come later. Dedications must be related to the impacts of a proposed development and must be roughly proportional to those impacts. Unless a major redevelopment occurs, most right-of-way dedications likely will be limited to one lane. 1:\Comdev\Wadsworth Subarea Plan\Cont Hearing CAF.doc The plan does not rezone land; it provides recommendations should landowners seek rezoning. The Plan is the City's vision of what it wants to happen to Wadsworth. While CDOT will ultimately decide what Wadsworth is to be through the E1S process, they must consider locally adopted plans in the EIS. Preparation ofthis plan is the first step in a long process. ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED: Different alternative cross sections of Wadsworth were examined during the planning process. The three alternatives presented to Council in July last year and at the public meeting in September were: · Modified 1999 Plan: This would essentially be the CDOT approach by adding one additional through lane in each direction for a total width of 150 feet. The section would include a center median with left-turn lane, three through lanes, and an accel/decellane. Adding a landscape strip and sidewalk brings the right-of-way up to 150 feet. The cross sections in the 1999 Plan do not include room for a landscape strip and sidewalk. The 1999 concept also included a two-way connector drive on the rear side of properties to distribute local trips since access along Wadsworth would be consolidated and restricted. · Svrnmetrical Multiwav Boulevard: This section requires a 162-foot envelope, 12 feet more (six feet on each side of the center line) than the typical CDOT approach. The number of lanes is the same, but this concept has the added feature of providing on-street parking on one-way frontage roads on both sides of Wadsworth between 46th and 38th. Drive aisles, alleys, and streets provide circulation routes from the frontage roads to parking areas. · Asvrnmetrical Multiwav Boulevard: This is the same as the symmetrical Multiway Boulevard described above, except that the frontage road occurs only on the west side of Wadsworth. On the east side, a "Main Street" or "Market Street" approximately 250 to 300 feet east of Wadsworth provide a local shopping street with access to parking and businesses. At the study session one of the consensus motions was to move ahead with the plan, but change the width to 150 feet. It was not clear if this meant deleting the frontage roads or not. The frontage roads are critical to the land use plan as proposed. 1fthe frontage roads are to be deleted from the Plan, the proposed land use plan needs to be re-examined and revised. FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no direct financial impact to the City as a result of adopting the Plan.

This An- nual Meeting Report is designed to give you an overview to some of the higl-tHghts and a glimpse of the budget. A full Annual Report will be sent out after the completion of 2006 and our financial audits. Thanks to all of you for being a part of this effort. - Wheat Ridge 2020 Staff scooper@wheatrldge2020.org bfisher@wheatridge2020.org 1 FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Dear Members and Friends, Please take time to congratulate yourselves for all of the hard work and effort you put forth this past year as you built Wheat Ridge 2020 (WR2020). It has been a year of substantial achievement and success for our organization. When I came to Wheat Ridge, I was enamored by the community's desire and dedication to get to work and make positive change. The support of each person associated with WR2020 has enabled me and our staff to hit the ground running, and get the work moving forward. With only 6 months of full time staff, you have accomplished a great deal. We have articles of incorporation, bylaws, policies, procedures and pro- grams. We have implemented and completed many community programs ranging from clean up days to advocacy for the 1-70 and 32nd Avenue interchange improvements and the RID FasTracks project. We have suc- cessfully negotiated the purchase of our first residential property that will be renovated and resold to a stakeholder family. And we are developing strong relationships with builders, developers and City Council to pro- mote sustainable real estate development in our city. Our business devel- opment practice is taking shape and our public relations work is gaining speed as we begin to market and position Wheat Ridge as a progressive community in Metro Denver. The Board of Directors has adopted our strategic plan and the committees are beginning to work with common focus towards revitalization efforts in key target areas in the city. Wheat Ridge 2020 is on the move! You have made great strides during this first year and are moving at a speed that impresses many who are aware of the work that is necessary to advance success in organizations like WR2020. Our journey has just begun and we are poised to make substantial positive contributions in our community. Our momentum is gaining as we will unveil lending and rein- vestment programs along the 38th Avenue Corridor and work on pursu- ing the goals of the NRS. As we move forward, your work and dedication will be the fuel to WR2020's continued success. I thank you for all you have done, all that you do, and everything that you will do, to make our city a vibrant community in which to live, learn, shop, work and play. c ~ --- Robert J. Osborn, Esq. Executive Director 2 SUMMER NEIGHBORHOOD INITIATIVES SPARK ENERGY Wheat Ridge 2020 sponsored several initiatives this summer designed to clean up and green up Wheat Ridge while promoting neighborhood leadership and interaction. Dumpster Days Dumpsters were provided to 11 blocks where neighbors had come together to submit a Dumpster Day application. Neighbors cleaned up and assisted neighbors unable to get junk into the dumpster on their own. "The families which used the dumpster were very happy to have had the opportunity to clean up their properties," said Sue Gilmore, a neighborhood applicant. Block Parties Block Party Grants were given to encourage neighbors who had not had a party in the last three years to do so. Nine blocks participated in the program. "Everyone had a great time. It really brings the neighborhood together," said Dewey Bridge, a block party leader. Renovation Grants A Landscape Renovation Grant was ~~vc;u for front yard improvements at 8730 W 34th Ave. The grantee, David Land, showcased his plans, put up a sign acknowledging the program and invested much more than the $1500 grant into his property. ''Neighbors have commented that the program seems like a good idea," said Land. "Many people walking by have complemented the work and said it was good that Wheat Ridge 2020 is offering programs like these." Tree-a-thon In June, a Tree-a-thon offered 150 park-quality trees for low or no cost to eastern Wheat Ridge neighborhoods bounded by Sheridan Blvd. and Teller St. between and 32nd & 38th Aves. 3 Through an advertising campaign, and via word of mouth, residents i I reserved their trees, and worked together to dig holes. The trees were de- Y livered June 24, 2006. More than 120 households reserved a tree and were excited to participate in this community program. Wheat Ridge 2020 secured the trees through a partnership with Mr. Steve Allen of The Tree Plantation of Grand Junction (www:TheTreePlanta- tion.com). Thanks to all of the WR2020 volunteers and neighbors who assisted community members with planting their trees. These summer neighborhood initiatives are being evaluated by staff and committees who will make recommendations on improving them and whether or not to continue these programs. "Sampling of Wheat Ridge" On May 16, Lyons Productions and Wheat Ridge 2020 partnered to host ''A Sampling of Wheat Ridge," an event that showcased local flavors. The event featured food sampling from local restaurants who participated in the Wheat Ridge Resource Guide and wine tasting from wines donated by Wheat Ridge 2020 members. Over 300 people attended this event and proceeds benefited Wheat Ridge 2020. The event also featured the new Wheat Ridge Resource Guide pub- lished by Lyons Productions. The many local businesses and the following Wheat Ridge restaurants participated: 38th Avenue Cafe, Belfiore Ital- ian Sausage, Big Sky Espresso Cafe, Chef's Touch Catering, Clancy's, La Piazza, Large Marge's Philly Cheeses teaks, Luke's - A Steak Place, Rossi's Catering, Valente's, and Vincenza's. 4 BOARD OF DIRECTORS VERY BUSY IN 2006 INAUGURAL YEAR A founding board of directors plays a significant role in setting the course for an organization. The 2006 Board of Directors did everything from over- seeing the day to day operations before there was staff to setting policies and creating a culture for the organization. Here are some of the many activities this dedicated group took on in 2006: . Passed the bylaws and articles of incorporation. Elected officers and created term lengths for initial board. Conducted a nationwide search for an executive director and chose Robert J. Osborn, a economic development director in Allentown, Pennsylvania. Appointed committee chairs and referred appropriate items to committee. Approved the budget and made appropriate allocations of resources. Held a strategic planning session to create a common vision for the organization. Created a mission and vision statement. . . . . . . Adopted the strategic plan for the organization. Thank you to the Board of Directors for your dedication to the organization and for helping to form the foundation of the organization. . 5 COMMITTEE HIGHLIGHTS FROM 2006 Finance Chair: Denise Waddell The Finance Committee spent this formative year developing fiscal policies, budgets, and financing priorities. One of those financial priorities is to assist the staff in developing the financial tools necessary to facilitate the programs and investments of WR2020 such as: a. Low- or no-interest loan programs to support development or re-development. b. Grant programs to support development or re-development. c. Loan pool activities. We are looking forward to 2007 to put the above listed tools into place. Neighborhood Initiatives Co-Chairs: Mike Baran and Keith Gray This cot:ntnittee took a lead role in developing the summer initiatives programs and is evaluating those programs for future implementation. In 2006 they developed the Tree-a- thon, Neighborhood Block Party Small Grants, Dumpster Days, and Landscape Renova- tion Grants. In 2007 they will be providing input on residential improvement programs and community development initiatives such as the Home Investment Program and a pilot Block Captain program. Nominations Chair: Dewey Bridge This cot:ntnittee worked hard to evaluate the bylaws, the diversity and composition of the membership and board and put together the 2007, slate for election. Operations Chair:Tom Abbott The Operations Cot:ntnittee took on the large task of drafting the bylaws for Wheat Ridge 2020. They also assisted the board in drafting initial policies. The cot:ntnittee hopes to finish final by-law recommendations early in 2007. Planning Chair: Karen Berry This cot:ntnittee monitored the progress on the Wadsworth Corridor subarea plan and the Cabela's development. In 2007 this group will work to help launch a Citizen's Planning Acad- emy for Wheat Ridge. Public Relations & Communications Chair: Regina Holmes This team worked to put together A Sampling of Wheat Ridge. They worked on messages, getting out the word about WR2020 programs and have ended the year working on a re- branding project. They gave input on the updated logo and you can look for a redesigned and user-friendly website to launch at the end of the year. 6 2006 RESOURCE ALLOCATION - WHEAT RIDGE 2020 BASED ON A BUDGET OF $1,000,000 MISCELLANEOUS 4% PROFESSIONAL SERVICES 3% OPERATIONS 2% PUBLIC RELATIONS PROJECTS 2% NEIGHBORHOOD PROJECTS 9% OFFICE EXPENSE 4% 2007 RESOURCE ALLOCATION - WHEAT lUDGE 2020 BASED ON A BUDGET OF $1,500,000 OPERA TlON S 2% J';'>' MISCELLANEOUS 1% PUBLIC RELATIONS PROJECTS NEIGHBORHOOD PROJECTS 2% 5% WHEAT RIDGE 2020 SUPPORTS THE FIELDS OF GREEN INITIATIVE Wheat Ridge 2020 is pleased to announce our support for the Fields of Green Initiative. Wheat Ridge High School (WRHS) is looking to upgrade their athletic fields to order to continue and enhance their tradition of excellence. The WRHS Field Committee plans to replace worn grass fields with higWy durable turf. This will benefit the entire community by making the fields open to multiple uses such as community leagues, savings in over 3 million gallons of water, and supporting recycling and community beautification. The aims of the Fields of Green Initiative align with the NRS goal of increasing the visibility and accessibility of Wheat Ridge open space. Therefore, WR2020 has granted a total of $20,000 over 2006 and 2007 to the Wheat Ridge Foundation in support of Fields of Green. The grant requires that the Wheat Ridge Founda- tion match the amount of this grant with other contributions. If you are interested in contributing, go to www:wrhsonline.org and click on the Fields of Green logo. Rob Osborn, Executive Director of WR2020 said, "Fields of Green is a won- derful project because it combines the resources of the City of Wheat Ridge and Jefferson County School District to partner on providing more open space."
