plat with right-of-way dedication for property located at 12000 Ridge Road for an RTD

Commissioner BUCKNAM asked for an explanation for the recommended condition
regarding the Subdivision Improvement Agreement (SIA) on the recommended motion.
Ms. Reckert stated it is for the construction of the public improvements. The Subdivision
Improvement Agreement typically addresses expectations of when construction of the
public improvements will occur with a cost estimate and a letter of credit.
Chair TIMMS asked if there are any variances included for construction, Ms. Reckert
stated not with the subdivision application but there are two with the Special Use Permit
(SUP) application for the height of the light poles.
Chair TIMMS asked about the process for the site plan review and the SUP, Ms. Reckert
stated the files are public record and all SUP's begin administratively. There is a 10-day
notice period which ended on August 4 No objections were received and it will most
likely be approved administratively.

to Denver Transit Partners which is the concessionaire for RTD.
Chair TIM MS asked if there are any unique attributes that are different since this is the
end-of-the line station. Mr. Buechler stated he didn't think the new end-of-line station
construction would dictate anything different.
