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

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.

Community Development Director
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
This public hearing was continued from February 12, 2007.
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.
RECOMMENDED MOTIONS:
"I move to adopt Resolution 06-2007, a resolution adopting the Wadsworth Corridor Subarea Plan as
presented."
I:\Comdev\Wadsworth Subarea Plan\Cont Hearing CAF.doc
Or,
"1 move to adopt Resolution 06-2007, a resolution adopting the Wadsworth Corridor Subarea Plan,
with the following amendment:
Change all references to 162 feet of right-of-way to150 feet."

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The proposed annual renewal oflicensing and support of the existing computer aided dispatch (CAD),
records management system (RMS), and mobile field reporting Logisys First Report (LFR) are
necessary to maintain the software for the police department and public safety. The annual renewal of
licensing and support will cost $55,135.00 of which the funds have been approved in the 2007 IT
Budget. This package is all inclusive for licensing and all technical support services. It includes
software upgrades and bug fixes and patches, plus technical support to implement these software
enhancements and fixes.
Currently, the CAD, RMS and LFR systems are functional on a new Windows 2003 Server
architecture as of 2006. The continued renewal of the annual licensing and support contract is a
strategic move to maintain and keep the CAD, RMS and LFR software up to date. This will be
advantageous to the City's Information Technology Division allowing for support and maintenance to
be proactive.
COMMISSION/BOARD RECOMMENDATION:,

STATEMENT OF THE ISSUES:

the ongoing maintenance program. On February 13,2007, four (4) bids were received. All bids
met the initial bid requirements. The apparent low bidder was Quality Resurfacing, Henderson,
Colorado in the total amount of $302, 1 08.41. References and experience were evaluated and

base bid ranged from $256,581.36 to $358,922.08. The alternate bids #1 ranged from $45,527.05
to $61,711.82. The Engineer's Estimate for the base bid and alternate bid #1 were $302,008.96 and
$52,545.20 respectively. The lowest responsible and responsive bidder, Quality Resurfacing of
Henderson, Colorado has met the bid and qualification requirements. Based upon the contractor's
demonstrated capabilities and performance on previous projects, Staff recommends award to
Quality Resurfacing to perform work specified in both base bid and alternative bid one.
A 10% contingency amount of $30,21 0.84 is requested to allow for the cost of other items related
to the proj ect.
AL TERNA TIVES CONSIDERED:

item of the 2007 Capital Investment Program budget in the amount of$1,250,000.00. This project
is the second of the three preventive projects that the City will implement this year
RECOMMENDED MOTION:

and handicap ramps on streets included in the asphalt resurfacing proj ect
$ 50,000
Asphalt patching and overlay area:
38thAvenue, Kipling to Youngfield
50th Avenue, Independence to Kipling
$ 950,000
Crack/sluny sealing area:
West of Wadsworth Boulevard by priority

maintenance prolongs the useful life of streets and sidewalks and reduces the costly alternative
of reconstructing streets.

a Vibrant and Sustainable Community
~ Dear Whea' Ridge 2020 Membexs and Friend,:
! 2006 has been an important year as Wheat Ridge 2020 elected a board
of directors, hired staff and launched some initial programs. 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.

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.

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.

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-

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.

We are looking forward to 2007 to put the above listed tools into place.

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."
WHEAT RIDGE 2020 ENTERS AGREEMENT TO
ADMINISTER WHEAT RIDGE BUSINESS DISTRICT PROGRAMS
As WR2020 launches new loan and grant programs, Wheat Ridge Business Dis-
trict (WRBD) and WR2020 have entered into an agreement where WR2020
will staff and support the work of the WRBD. This includes advertis-
ing and administering WRBD grant programs.
"I consider this agreement a vast improvement. It makes us more
efficient. Through Wheat Ridge 2020 we hope the word will get
out abo,ut our fas:ade, signage, awning and architectural design
grants," said Eugene Keifel, President of the WRBD.
Rob Osborn added, "The capacity for leveraging resources and assets
enables both organizations to excel in community and economic develop-
ment as well as business growth."
