HomeMy WebLinkAboutWA-14-11City offi0Wheat Nge The following case numbers relate to the construction of a 9' high electric fence on property located at 9850-9870 W. I-70 Frontage Road North. Case No. WA-14-11 was a request for approval of a fence height variance to allow a 9' high electric fence. This case was approved to allow a fence height variance with the condition that the fence not be electrified. The applicant did not agree with this condition of approval and did not submit an appeal of the decision to the Board of Adjustment within the allotted timeframe. Case No. WZ-15-03 was a request for approval of an interpretation by the Board of Adjustment as to what constitutes a dangerous/non-dangerous fence. The BOA found in favor of Staff's recommendation that an electric fence constitutes a safety hazard so a permit for construction of a fence could not be issued. Case No. ZOA-18-03 was an amendment to the zoning code relative to section 26-603/fencing allowing electrified fences in certain situation s with approval of a Special Use Permit (SUP). Case No. SUP-18-03 was a request to allow an electrified fence at 9850-9870 W. I-70 Frontage Road North. This case was approved and a permit for construction of the fence was issued on September 27, 2018 (permit #201802371). L A WA------- 1 1 - 9 - 1 9 Pa,Vt 1 1(.6" 71-fv l L---_ Kenneth Johnstone From: Sent: To: CC: Subject: Attachments: Carol Bausinger <CBausinger@ELECTRICGUARDDOG.com> Monday, December 08, 2014 11:59 AM Joyce Jay; Jerry DiTullio; Tim Fitzgerald; George Pond; Zachary Urban; Kristi Davis; Genevieve Wooden; Tracy Langworthy Kenneth Johnstone; Daniel Brennan; Michael Pate; randyketelsen@ketelsen.com Sent on Behalf of M Pate: Electric Guard Dog / Ketelsen Camper Wheat Ridge.zip Mayor Joyce and City Council: I am writing as a security representative for Randy Ketelsen of Ketelsen Campers. I spoke briefly in front of the City Council back in late October to voice concerns over the City Staffs intransigence ongranting a permit to Mr. Ketelsen for an alarmed electric security fence to secure his property. At that time the Chief ofPolice (Dan Brennan) and Chief Building Official, Ken Johnstone were holding the permit hostage until the local schooldistrict approved installation in violation of the City Staffs duty to serve the people of the City of Wheat Ridge and administer the zoning and building code as written. The Chief and CBO voiced concerns over safety that they felt hadnot been addressed. Not only had these concerns not been addressed, but they were completely ignored by the Chief and CBO. As of today the City Staff has made a decision to allow the operation of Mr. Ketelsen's alarmed electric fence under thecondition that he separate the existing perimeter fence from the alarmed electric security fence by a minimum of THREEFEET for "safety concerns". This is an unnecessary restriction and in essence results in an impudent installation (installation of the alarmed electric security fence will not function as designed and will not result in the cessation ofcriminal activity) and an unnecessary taking of property to the tune of 9,186 square feet (this equals approximately fouraverage dwellings in Wheat Ridge) in addition to the rearranging of the entire property/inventory. A totally unnecessary expense foisted on Mr. Ketelsen by the City Staff. The devices that Mr. Ketelsen wishes to deploy are tested by a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory as to the safetyand efficacy of the product. The devices are installed to the recognized standards and are powered by a 12 volt battery,just like the one in most cars. The City Staff and the Chief have been provided all of these tests, standards, and scientificresearch. As of this writing, not one of the scientist, specialist, or technicians at the provided institutions (who are thepreeminent specialist in their fields of expertise in pulsed electricity, testing, and standards) have been contacted by theCity Staff. This is nothing short of a dereliction of responsibility to the people and citizens of Wheat Ridge. To make assumptions based on "feelings or perceptions", which the city staff has done, is unconscionable, Mr. Ketelsen is closing his business for the Holidays on December 21 for two weeks. As he testified in his earlier appearance before the council his business has been burglarized for almost $250,000.00 over the last several years andhe needs the ability to protect his property. Increased patrols and attention by the police have not been effective due tothe location and vulnerable configuration of his property. We would ask that the City Council direct the City Staff to approve the installation of the alarmed electric security fence according to the tested standards resulting in theinstallation of the alarmed electric security fence before December 21. This is done in Denver, Colorado Springs, AdamsCounty, and a myriad of other jurisdictions in CO. The City Staffs belief in a boogey man and their ignorance of pulsed electric alarms and their unparalleled safety record should not be the guiding force in this decision, I am available for consultation at 803-422-3600.

I. REQUEST The applicant is requesting approval of a variance to Section 26-711.C. 4. ofthe zoning and development code to increase the allowable height of a fence from 6' to 9'. The purpose of the variance is to allow erection of a fence 9' in height in order to accommodate an electronic security system. The Wheat Ridge code o f laws allows 4' fence from the front wall of a structure to the front property line. The code generally permits fences 6' in height from the front wall of structure along the sides to the rear property line. Any fence exceeding either o f the height regulations requires a variance. Section 26-115.C (Variances and Waivers) ofthe Wheat Ridge City Code allows that the Director of Community Development (Director) may grant administrative variances from the strict application o f the zoning district development standards. Administrative variances are allowed for up to 50% ofthe development standard. II. CASE ANALYSIS Property description The property in question is comprised of four parcels with 10 acres of area and a mix of zonings including Commercial-One (C-1), Planned Commercial Development (PCD) and Planned Industrial Development (PID). The property is used for Recreation Vehicle (RV) sales, service and storage. There are several existing building on the north side of the property with frontage on the south 1-70 frontage road used for office, display and maintenance. The combined total of the building area is 38,0000 square feet. Two vacant parcels extending almost one quarter of a mile to the south are used for open RV storage. The storage areas are encompassed with a 6' high chainlink fence.(Exhibit 11 aerial photo) Ketelsen Campers has been a major player in the regional Recreation Vehicle industry and has been in business since the early 1960's. They have been located in Wheat Ridge for over 30 years. Adjacent zoning and land use The property has a mix of zonings and land uses surrounding it. On the south and south western portion it is abutted by vacant land zoned NC, A-1 and PCD. Further north on the western side is a hotel and a fueling station. Both of these properties are zoned C-1. The south I-70 Frontage Road with 1-70 beyond abuts the property on the north. To the east are commercial uses zoned C-1 and PID. Further to the south but still on the eastern Case No. WA-14-11/Electric Guard Dog 1 side is the Pennington Elementary school with associated grounds. These parcels are zoned A-1 and R-2.(Exhibit 2, zoning map) In recent years, the property has been experiencing an increasing number of theft and vandalism crimes with sustained losses in excess of $100,000. The areas most targeted are on the east, south and west sides o f the property. The inventory storage areas which comprise 5.5 acres are devoid of structures and have become prime targets due to lack of lighting and visual access. In addition to vandalism to the RV units in open storage, the western building has also been vandalized in the area between the "crook" of the building and the rear o f the hotel to the west. The property owner, Mr. Ketelsen, has been working with the Wheat Ridge Police Department to target these crime areas, has filed a number o f police reports and has consulted with the department regarding property protection and crime prevention. In an effort to curb property crime the owner is proposing the construction of an electronic security system to be located on a fence that exceeds the 6' high fence height. & % tio 24 4 Most property crime occurs along the west and southeast sections of the properties designated in green. Case No. WA-14-11/Electric Guaid Dog 3 tt 9 t-2247*· The property owner would prefer to install the security fence along the western. southern and eastern property lines designated in blue. The system is comprised of electrical wires strung between 10' high poles. While attachment to a 10' high fence is optimal, the security system company indicates that their system can operate on a 9' high fence which would constitute a 50% variance and be eligible for administrative review. The wires run close together, usually 3-6 inches apart. Cable support poles are spaced 10' apart, behind an existing divisional fence. The electric fence poles are spaces every ten feet to support the electric cables. (Exhibit 3, plan submittal) The system provides electric wires that create a 3/10,000111 of a second electric shock, which is certified within OSHA Safety Standards by the International Electro-technical commission. Along with an electric shock upon contact, the system is linked to a central monitoring station. I f contact is made than the central monitoring system contacts the property owner to ask if the police should be dispatched. The system is both solar and battery powered. It is turned on and off via a key pad or with smart phone access. The 9' high fence would be installed around the rear and sides of the property. The owner would like to have the fence set in 1' from the chainlink fence. For safety purposes, staff is recommending that the fence setback be expanded to 3'. No security system will be installed in the front of the property. The security system adjacent to Pennington Elementary will appear to be intact but will not be powered based on the expressed safety concerns or perceived safety concerns of the City and school district. Agency referral Case No. WA-14-1 1 /Electric Guard Dog 4 The Wheat Ridge building division, Wheat Ridge Police Department, Arvada Fire and Jefferson County school district were consulted regarding this request. Arvada Fire Protection District indicated that they would require a department-approved key box with key possession. Jefferson County School District indicated that they have no objection to a height variance for a non-electric 9 foot high fence. While the fence will be visually the same, the portion next to the school property may not be capable of carrying an electric current. Wheat Ridge Police Department will require a 3' set-in for the fence and security system and appropriate warning signage. No comments were received as a result of the administrative posting and noticing. III.VARIANCE CRITERIA Staffhas the following criteria to evaluate variance requests and shall determine that the majority of the "criteria for review" listed in Section 26-115.C.4 of the City Code have been met (Exhibit 4, applicant letter).Staff provides the following review and analysis of the variance criteria. 1. The property in question would not yield a reasonable return in use, service or income if permitted to be used only under the conditions allowed by regulation for the district in which it is located. If the variance is not granted, the installation of the electronic security system cannot occur. Alternate methods of crime prevention have been tried by the property owner, but have proven to be inadequate. Nevertheless, the RV sales and storage business on the property can continue whether or not the taller fence with security system is built. Staff finds this criterion has not been met. 2. The variance would not alter the essential character of the locality. There will be minimal impact on the property where it abuts commercial uses. If the request is granted and security system is installed, the commercial character of the area would not be negatively impacted. However staffhas concerns where the storage areas abut the elementary school property. I f granted, adequate safeguards must be incorporated to ensure the safety o f students, faculty and others on the Pennington school grounds, and these are included in the staff conditions. Staff finds this criterion has been met Case No. WA-14-1 1/Electric Guard Dog 5 3. The applicant is proposing a substantial investment in the property with this application, which would not be possible without the variance. The applicant is proposing a substantial investment in the property by installation ofthe new fence and security system. Staff finds this criterion has been met 4. The particular physical surrounding, shape or topographical condition of the specific property involved results in a particular and unique hardship (upon the owner) as distinguished from a mere inconvenience if the strict letter of the regulations were carried out. The topographical condition of the property does not create a unique hardship. The shape and physical surrounding of the property does due to lack of visibility on the west site and remoteness on the east side. Both o f these areas have been targeted by vandals. Staff concludes that the property owner has a unique hardship that can be remedied with construction of the 9' fence and security system. Staff finds this criterion has been met. 5. The alleged difficulty or hardship has not been created by any person presently having an interest in the property. The hardship has been created by vandals who have targeted areas where there is no visual access, either due to building location or lack of lighting. Alternate methods of security have been ineffective against vandals. Staff finds this criterion has been iliet 6. The granting of the variance would not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to other property or improvements in the neighborhood in which the property is located, by, among other things, substantially or permanently impairing the appropriate use or development of adjacent property, impairing the adequate supply of light and air to adjacent property, substantially increasing the congestion in public streets or increasing the danger of fire or endangering the public safety, or substantially diminishing or impairing property values within the neighborhood. The variance would not hinder or impair the development of the adjacent property. The request would not increase the congestion in the streets. The request will most likely not have an effect on property values in the neighborhood. There should be no impact to the supply of air and light to surrounding properties. Case No. WA- 14-11/Electric Guard Dog 6 As proposed with specified conditions of approval, the variance should not be detrimental to adjacent school property or the neighborhood to the east. There will also be a benefit to crime prevention efforts in the area. Staff finds this criterion has been met. The unusual circumstances or conditions necessitating the variance request are present in the neighborhood and are not unique to the property. The conditions are unique to the property due to large expanse of storage area and remoteness of the rear parcels. Staff finds this criterion has not been met. Granting of the variance would result in a reasonable accommodation of a person with disabilities. Accessibility requirements are not applicable to this situation. Staff finds this criterion is not applicable. The application is in substantial compliance with the applicable standards set forth in the Architectural and Site Design Manual. The Architectural and Site Design Manual does not apply to fencing. Staff finds this criterion is not applicable. IV.STAFF CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS Having found the application in compliance with the majority o f the applicable review criteria, staff recommends approval of the 3' variance to fence height for properties located at 9850 and 9870 West I-70 Frontage Road South. Staffhas found there are unique circumstances attributed to this request and that conditions warrant approval of the variance. Because there could be a benefit to crime prevention efforts in the area, a recommendation of APPROVAL for the following reasons: There are unique circumstances due to the property shape and physical surroundings o f the area. The variance will not alter the character of the neighborhood. It would result in a substantial investment in the property. It will benefit crime prevention efforts in the area. With the following condition: The proposed fence be located 3' inside the existing perimeter fence. Case No. WA-14-11/Electric Guard Dog 1 2. The portion of the fence adjacent to the Pennington Elementary school property be incapable of carrying a current. 3. The system be turned on during business off-hours only.

Applicants must submit a written response to each of the applicable criteria with their applicationfor a variance. The criteria listed below are applicable to all variance cases with the exception of the final twocriteria, which are not applicable for variances for properties with single family and two-family dwelling units.The responses must reflect why a variance should be granted. The Community Development Director, Boardof Adjustment, Planning Commission, or City Council shall base their decision in consideration of the extentto which the applicant demonstrates a majority of the following criteria have been met: A. The property in question would not yield a reasonable return in use, service or income ifpermitted to be used only under the conditions allowed by regulation for the district in which it islocated. a. RESPONSE: Not Applicable B. The variance would not alter the essential character of the locality. a. RESPONSE: The character o f the locality would not be altered in anyway as the proposed 9-foot high electric fence with partial sensor only sections, would be contained inside the existingperimeter fence. C. The applicant is proposing a substantial investment in the property with this application, which would not be possible without the variance. a. RESPONSE: Not Applicable. The existing tenant has made a substantial investment in the property due to the type of goods stored at the location. D. The particular physical surrounding, shape or topographical condition of the specific property results in a particular and unique hardship (upon the owner) as distinguished from a mere inconvenience. RESPONSE:The subject property in question is unique in the following ways: a. High value of inventory - both the equipment and inventory b. Due to size and nature of items, most items must are stored outside and cannot be protected inside a building c. The subject area is 3,110 linear feet in perimeter; it is not possible for security guards to effectively and constantly monitor the entire lot. d, A portion of the property is considered remote due to the lack of visibility to the patrolling Police Department. E. If there is a particular or unique hardship, the alleged di fficulty or hardship has not been created by any person presently having an interest in the property. a. RESPONSE: This variance is not being sought to relieve illegal acts or self-imposed hardships. The business is a reputable business, located in the appropriate zoning and complies with all other ordinances. If approved, the variance authorized will be consistent with the general purpose and intent of the provision from which the variance is sought as the general safety and welfare of the public is maintained, crime is prevented, and the city can police crime other than property break-ins and vandalism. The variance is the minimum necessary to relieve a practical difficulty andresulting hardship, cameras record crime and don't prevent it, guards are unreliable (don't show up for work, sleep on the job, and at times are complicit in the criminal action). The Electric Guard Dog is the most reliable, mosteconomical, and safest security application available. In actuality the installationof the Electric Guard Dog will secure the variance property and increase the security of the surrounding properties and the immediate area by deterring the criminal element. The owner/tenant of the property has experienced numerous break-ins sincetaking occupancy of the property. Ketelsen has not only sustained losses of inventory or accessories attached to the inventory, but they have had clients compromised as well. F. The granting of the variance would not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to otherproperty or improvements in the neighborhood in which the property is located, by, among otherthings, substantially or permanently impairing the appropriate use or development of adjacentproperty, impairing the adequate supply of light and air to adjacent property, substantiallyincreasing the congestion in public streets or increasing the danger of fire or endangering the public safety, or substantially diminishing or impairing property values within the neighborhood. a. RESPONSE: The variance being sought will not adversely affect surroundingproperties. We merely seek to have the Electric Guard Dog security system 9-feet tall and powered independently of the power grid by utilizing a solar powered, 12V batteryin order to adequately protect the property from criminal activity. There will also be a section which not contain voltage (sensor only section), as indicated on the site plans as Section C. G, The unusual circumstances or conditions necessitating the variance request are present inthe neighborhood and are not unique to the property. a. RESPONSE:This variance is the minimum necessary to relieve a practical difficulty and resulting hardship. Cameras record crime and do not prevent it,guards are unreliable (do not show up for work, sleep on the job, and at times are complicit in the criminal action). The EGD is the most reliable, most economical,and safest security application available. In actuality the installation of the EGD will secure the variance property and increase the security of the surrounding properties and the immediate area by deterring the criminal element. H. Granting of the variance would result in a reasonable accommodation of a person with disabilities. a. RESPONSE: Not Applicable. I.

A revised plan has been submitted which keeps the 9' high fence but eliminates the electrical portion adjacent to the Pennington Elementary School property. The remainder of the property would still have the security system in place. Please comment relative to this modification. No response from you will constitute having no objections or concerns regarding this proposal. Case No.:WA-14-11/Electric Guard Dog for Ketelsen Request: Revised fence and security system plan. Attached are a site plan and specifications for the fence. The property is approximately 10 acres in size and has Commercial-One (C-1), Planned Industrial Development (PID) and Planned Commercial Development (PCD) zoning. The entirety of the property is used for RV sales and storage. The intent of the variance is to provide added security for the business Please inform the case manager of any concerns about the proposed fence.

We merely seek to have the Electric Guard Dog security system 9-feet tall and powered independently of the power grid by utilizing a solar powered, 12V battery in order to adequately protect the property from criminal activity. There will also be a section which not contain voltage (sensor only section), as indicated on the site plans as Section C. G. The unusual circumstances or conditions necessitating the variance request are present in the neighborhood and are not unique to the property. a. RESPONSE:This variance is the minimum necessary to relieve a practical difficulty and resulting hardship. Cameras record crime and do not prevent it, guards are unreliable (do not show up for work, sleep on the job, and at times are complicit in the criminal action). The EGD is the most reliable, most economical, and safest security application available. In actuality the installation of the EGD will secure the variance property and increase the security ofthe surrounding properties and the immediate area by deterring the criminal element. H. Granting of the variance would result in a reasonable accommodation of a person with disabilities. a. RESPONSE: Not Applicable. I. The application is in substantial compliance with the applicable standards set forth in the Architectural and Site Design Manual.

Applicants must submit a written response to each of the applicable criteria with their applicationfor a variance. The criteria listed below are applicable to all variance cases with the exception of the final twocriteria, which are not applicable for variances for properties with single family and two-family dwelling units,The responses must reflect why a variance should be granted. The Community Development Director, Boardof Adjustment, Planning Commission, or City Council shall base their decision in consideration of the extentto which the applicant demonstrates a majority of the following criteria have been met: A. The property in question would not yield a reasonable return in use, service or income ifpermitted to be used only under the conditions allowed by regulation for the district in which it islocated. a. RESPONSE: Not Applicable B. The variance would not alter the essential character of the locality. a. RESPONSE:The character of the locality would not be altered in anyway as the proposed 9-foot high electric fence with partial sensor only sections, would be contained inside the existingperimeter fence. C. The applicant is proposing a substantial investment in the property with this application, which would not be possible without the variance. a. RESPONSE:Not Applicable. The existing tenant has made a substantial investmentin the property due to the type of goods stored at the location. D, The particular physical surrounding, shape or topographical condition of the specific property results in a particular and unique hardship (upon the owner) as distinguished from a 111Cre ]11COnVenlellee. RESPONSE:The subject property in question is unique in the following ways: a. High value ofinventory -both the equipment and inventory b. Due to size and nature of items, most items must are stored outside and cannot be protected inside a building c. The subject area is 3.110 linear feet iii perimeter; it is not possible for security guards to effectively and constantly monitor the entire lot. d. A portion of the properly is considered remote due to the lack of visibility to the patrolling Police Department. E. Ifthereis a particulai- 01- unique hardship. the alleged difficully or hardship has not been created by any person presently having an interest iii the property. a. RESPONSE: This variance is not being sought to relieve illegal acts or self-imposed hardships.The business is a reputable business, located in the appropriate zoning and complies with all other ordinances. If approved, the variance authorized will be consistent with the general purpose and intent of the provision from which the variance is sought as the general safety and welfare of the public is maintained, crime is prevented, and the city can police crime other than propei-ty break-ins and vandalism. 4 The variance is the minimum necessary to relieve a practical difficulty and resulting hardship, cameras record crime and don't prevent it, guards areunreliable (don't show up for work, sleep on the job, and at times are complicit inthe criminal action). The Electric Guard Dog is the most reliable, mosteconomical, and safest security application available. In actuality the installationof the Electric Guard Dog will secure the variance property and increase the security of the surrounding properties and the immediate area by deterring thecriminal element. The owner/tenant of the property has experienced numerous break-ins since taking occupancy o f the property. Ketelsen has not only sustained losses ofinventory or accessories attached to the inventory, but they have had clients compromised as well. F. The granting of the variance would not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to otherproperty or improvements in the neighborhood in which the property is located, by, among otherthings, substantially or permanently impairing the appropriate use or development of adjacentproperty, impairing the adequate supply of light and air to adjacent property, substantiallyincreasing the congestion in public streets or increasing the danger of fire or endangering thepublic safety, or substantially diminishing or impairing property values within the neighborhood. a. RESPONSE: The variance being sought will not adversely affect surroundingproperties. We merely seek to have the Electric Guard Dog security system 9-feet talland powered independently o f the power grid by utilizing a solar powered, 12V batteryin order to adequately protect the property from criminal activity. There will also be asection which not contain voltage (sensor only section), as indicated on the site plans as Section C. G.

I-70 Frontage Road, Ketelsen Campers Dear Ms. Bausinger and Mr. Pate: This letter follows up on our previous correspondence of July 16, 2014 and a subsequent meeting that Meredith Reckert, John Schumacher and I had on 7-3 I -14 with Mr. Pate. As was communicated in that previous correspondence, this letter reaffirms our determination that the fence as proposed constitutes a prohibited fence in the City of Wheat Ridge; as such, at this time we are denying the application for building pennit plan review number 201400689. To elaborate, Municipal Code section 26-603.E defines prohibited fences. It states the following: Fence types prohibited. Any fence, which in the opinion ofthe chief building inspector, public works director or chiefof police, that would constitute a hazard to the health or safety of any person. Based on that language, earlier this year staffhad determined that the fence was prohibited based on safety concerns with the proximity of an electric fence to a perimeter property line. We communicated a willingness to consider allowing the fence, if you were willing to provide additional separation of the fence from the property line in a manner that persons would be protected from exposure to the fence. You took that direction and applied for a variance to fence height along with a fence location that was set back 36 inches from an existing 6-foot metal fence. In the course ofprocessing that variance, we sent the application on referral and got comments back from Jefferson County School District. As you know, Kullerstrand Elementary School's outdoor playground is located adjacent to the rear of the Ketelsen Camper facility. Based on written comments and verbal conversations, the school district has significant public safety concerns for their students, even with the 36 inch separation. Under the Code provisions noted above, this has caused us to reaffirm our previous 1 1 1 determination that the fence constitutes a safety hazard and therefore is by definition, prohibited. You had requested whether you have any right to appeal our determination. We have determined you are able to can ask for an interpretation under Code 26-115.E.1. Such a request would be heard by the Board of Adjustment and you would have to convince the BOA that "hazard to the health or safety of any person," in Code 26-603.E. 1 does not apply to your "specific proposal or instance." Prior to moving forward with such a request, you would need to have a pre-application meeting with city staff to better understand that process, submittal requirements, etc. Please let me know if yru have further questions.

I-70 Frontage Road South.The application has been reviewed and the following are comments regarding the first submittal. Site Plan 1. The reduced site plan is somewhat hard to read. Please verify separation of the security fence from the perimeter fence. 2. In the Project Data, indicate that existing zoning on the property is Commercial-One (C-1), Planned Commercial Development (PCD). The property was posted and adjacent owners notified of the request for which the comment period endedon July 10, 2014. No written or verbal responses were submitted based on the case noticing. The request was also distributed as a referral to potentially impacted City departments and outside agencies. Attached are responses received regarding the request. Additional comments may be forthcoming and will be forwarded to you. A rvada Fire Protection District: See attached letter from Sparky Shriver dated July 9, 2014. Jefferson Counw Public Schools: See attached letter from Brendan Willits dated July 8,2014. Although no objections were received as a result of the noticing, the school district considers the electric fence a safety hazard and therefore cannot be approved by the City of Wheat Ridge.

Electric Guard Dog has more than 3,000 systems in operation throughout the United States and is self-contained within the existing perimeter fence. VARIANCE CRITERIA RESPONSE - Ketelsen Campers A. The property in question would not yield a reasonable return in use, service or income if permitted to be used only under the conditions allowed by regulation for the district in which it is located. a. RESPONSE: Not Applicable B. The variance would not alter the essential character of the locality. a. RESPONSE: The character of the locality would not be altered in anyway as the proposed 9- foot high electric fence would be contained inside the existing perimeter fence. C. The applicant is proposing a substantial investment in the property with this application, which would not be possible without the variance. a. RESPONSE:Not Applicable. The existing tenant has made a substantial investment in the property due to the type of goods stored at the location. D. The particular physical surrounding, shape or topographical condition of the specific property results in a particular and unique hardship (upon the owner) as distinguished from a mere nconvenience. RESPONSE: The subject property in question is unique in the following ways: a. High value of inventory - both the equipment and inventory b. Due to size and nature of items, most items must are stored outside and cannot be protected inside a building c. The subject area is 3,110 linear feet in perimeter; it is not possible for security guards to effectively and constantly monitor the entire lot. d. A portion of the property is considered remote due to the lack of visibility to the patrolling Police Department. E. If there is a particular or unique hardship, the alleged difficulty or hardship has not been created by any person presently having an interest in the property. a. RESPONSE: This variance is not being sought to relieve illegal acts or self-imposed hardships. The business is a reputable business, located in the appropriate zoning and complies with all other ordinances. If approved, the variance authorized will be consistent with the general purpose and intent of the provision from which the variance is sought as the general safety and welfare of the public is maintained, crime is prevented, and the city can police crime other than property break-ins and vandalism. The variance is the minimum necessary to relieve a practical difficulty and resulting hardship, cameras record crime and don't prevent it, guards are unreliable (don't show up for work, sleep on the job, and at times are complicit in the criminal action). The Electric Guard Dog is the most reliable, most economical, and safest security application available. In actuality the installation of the Electric Guard Dog will secure the variance property and increase the security of the surrounding properties and the immediate area by deterring the criminal element. The owner/tenant of the property has experienced numerous break-ins since taking occupancy of the property. Ketelsen has not only sustained losses of inventory or accessories attached to the inventory, but they have had clients compromised as well. F. The granting of the variance would not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to other property or improvements in the neighborhood in which the property is located, by, among other things, substantially or permanently impairing the appropriate use or development of adjacent property, impairing the adequate supply of light and air to adjacent property, substantially increasing the congestion in public streets or increasing the danger of fire or endangering the public safety, or substantially diminishing or impairing property values within the neighborhood. a. RESPONSE: The variance being sought will not adversely affect surrounding properties. We merely seek to have the Electric Guard Dog security system 9-feet tall and powered independently of the power grid by utilizing a solar powered, 12V battery in order to adequately protect the property from criminal activity. G. The unusual circumstances or conditions necessitating the variance request are present in the neighborhood and are not unique to the property. a. RESPONSE:This variance is the minimum necessary to relieve a practical difficulty and resulting hardship. Cameras record crime and do not prevent it, guards are unreliable (do not show up for work, sleep on the job, and at times are complicit in the criminal action). The EGD is the most reliable, most economical, and safest security application available. In actuality the installation of the EGD will secure the variance property and increase the security of the surrounding properties and the immediate area by deterring the criminal element. H. Granting of the variance would result in a reasonable accommodation of a person with disabilities a. RESPONSE:Not Applicable. 1. The application is in substantial compliance with the applicable standards set forth in the Architectural and Site Design Manual. a. RESPONSE: Yes. Please let me know if there is any further documentation required or if there are any questions. I look forward to hearing from you tomorrow.

I-70 Frontage Road South Wheat Ridge, CO 80033 Carol Bausinger Electric Guard Dog LLC 121 Executive Center Drive; Suite 230 Columbia, SC 29210 Dear Mr. Ketelsen and Ms. Bausinger: This letter is in regard to a building permit submitted on May 21,2014 for property located in the City of Wheat Ridge at 9870 W. I-70 Frontage Road South. The permit application is for construction of a 10' electric fence/security system. Please be advised that the proposed application is inconsistent with the zoning and development code regarding fencing and cannot be approved. Section 26-603.E. 1 of the Wheat Ridge zoning and development code states: "Fence types prohibited: Any fence, ifin the opinion of the chiefbuilding inspector, public works director or chief of police, that would constitute a hazard to the health or safety of any person". Based on the proximity of Pennington Elementary to the proposed fence, it is being considered a safety hazard. In addition, it exceeds the maximum fence height allowed of 6'. As we have noted in our previous reviews of your proposal, should you be willing to make modifications to the amount of separation between the fences as well as to the height in order to address our code requirements and the public safety concerns we have identified, we are glad to discuss.

South Follow Up Flag:Follow up Flag Status:Flagged Their last response was not at all responsive to our suggestions regarding height and separation from existing perimeter fence (one foot if I recall correctly). Based on that, John had replied that he was not in support. I don't recall that we received any additional feedback from the Police Department; however, they initially were very concerned with public safety issues. Section 26-603.E.1 states: "Fence types prohibited: Any fence, if in the opinion of the chief building inspector, public works director or chief of police, that would constitute a hazard to the health or safety of any person." I would suggest that a letter be drafted to the applicant and Mr. Kettelson stating that the Chief and CBO have reviewed the proposed fence and based on the proximity of the school and the unwillingness to provide further separation of the proposed electric fence from the existing chain link fence, staff has determined the fence not to be allowed under municipal code. Further, 1 think we should provide a distance that would be supported (3 feet?). In regards to the height, we should also indicate that the height is not allowed by code and because it is greater than 50% above the 6 foot height maximum, it cannot be considered administratively and would require a variance approved by the Board of Adjustment. They should be asked to provide an analysis of the variance criteria and any other materials necessary to process a variance application. 1 would include in the letter the fact that we are sensitive to their desire to address the ongoing theft issues. From PD perspective, are there any other solutions we can suggest in regards to the criminal activity? Meredith, since the requirements are in Chapter 26, may I request you draft a letter, but prepare it for Dan's and John's joint signatures. In terms of the building permit, Melissa may not have been aware of these ongoing discussions. However, we should not process the permit any further. Please note in ADG. Glad to discuss further.

My first thought is whether Arvada's "industrial-zoned areas" are adjacent to or include schools. My biggest concern is the adjacency to the school and the minimal buffer zone between the standard fence and electric fencing. Response: The Electric Guard Dog fence would only be in full operational mode during non-working hours. These hours would coincide with the daily activity at the school and would not be operational during school hours. We do not have any sites adjacent to schools. In Aurora we are considered a low voltage system and no permits are required. Also, because we are not connected to the mains/electrical power grid, no permits required. Greeley is a building and electrical permit; Colorado Springs, no permit required and El Paso County allows electric fences and last but not least, Denver allows 10' high voltage fences 1 2. We could consult with Dahl's office, but I have questions about the effectiveness of the hold harmless agreement in absolving the City of liability. Response: please let me know what your questions are regarding the effectiveness of the Hold Harmless agreement. Electric Guard Dog makes the same statement to our customers in each contract and to numerous other jurisdictions, including Denver. 3. Does the fence need to be 10' in height? If there is a way to install the fence at 6' or less and avoid the permitting process that would be preferable. Response: 10' is the industry standard. The security system is shielded from the public via a perimeter chain link fence which is six to eight feet in height. Our national experience going back to 1991 with more than 3,000 systems in operation is that professional thieves are too easily able to circumvent our security system when it is less than 10' in height. When there is a substantial difference in height between our system and the perimeter fence thieves are physically deterred and do not victimize our clients. 4. If the fence, due to height, must be permitted, can we require a buffer zone larger than one foot, say three feet? Response: The max separation is 12". Our system becomes rendered useless if installed more than one foot from the existing perimeter fence. 5. Can we also require as a condition of approval the Knox box, larger buffer, etc. without those specific requirements existing within City Code or building/electrical code? Response: Yes; we have encountered this type of request on numerous occasions (also a requirement per Fire Chief Gonzales in Denver). 7400,4 yok, Carol Batutinger Compliance Manager Direct: 803-404-6189 From: Meredith Reckert [mailto:mreckert@ci.wheatridae.co.usl Sent: Wednesday, April 30, 2014 3:49 PM To: Carol Bausinger Subject: FW: Ketelsen Camper's Wheat Ridge, CO Here are the comments regarding your most recent email.

In addition, any such device with an electric current (even if it is pulsating) can be a health concern if contact is made and the impact can vary based on climate and weather conditions, size Of the person getting shocked, etc. In addition to the life safety concerns, liability needs to be considered as well. o The system would only be active during non-business hours - when it is closed. Attached is the Webster Safety report - a comprehensive electric security system report from the renowned John G. Webster, Professor Emeritus of Biomedical Engineering Of the University Of Wisconsin, expert on pulsed electricity. Safety of these devices is unparalleled as no deaths or serious injuries have occurred since the inception Of UL69 in 1939 with installations consistent with the UL69 Standard. This can be confirmed through Joel Hawk, Principal Engineer Of UL69, Underwriters Laboratories. Bill Fulcher of OSHA, Leader of Enforcement Programs, maintains a data base Of accidental death from all causes and no incidents have occurred directly related to the proper installation and operation of an electric fence consistent with the UL69 standards. With theinclusion of a perimeter buffer fence,for allelectric security fences as specified in IEC 60335-2-76, the risk of accidental contact is substantially lowered. • Would the City be liable by issuing a permit for installation of the fence/system if someone touches it and dies? o Please note, if they touch it, they will feel it and remember it. It is pulsed power, 12V/DC battery powered and completely independent of the power grid. However, no one will die nor has died as a result of touching the fence as factually stated above by OSHA since 1939. If necessary, Electric Guard Dog will execute an Indemnification & Hold Harmless Agreement. • While the intent Of the system is to keep people out, it may create complications from police or the fire department in the event Of a call to or emergency on the property. o We can provide a Knox device for first responders. This completely shuts the system down and makes it safe for first responders to enter the property. We have worked very closely and are approved with the Denver Fire Department on this very same device. • There seem to be other options available such as video systems. o These are cumbersome and at times, randomly effective after the fact. Summary of Electric Guard Dog security system: The Electric Guard Dog security system is a low voltage (12V), battery powered (DC), independent of the electrical grid, self-contained system that has a variety of functions to it which make for a 100% medically safe and extremely effective crime deterrent. This fence is 10' high and is placed approximately 4"- 12" inside of the existing perimeter fence and is therefore not exposed to innocent passersby. To come in contact with the fence, a person would have to get past the perimeter fence, intentionally trespassing. It is comprised of twenty, 12.5 gauge, galvanized steel wires which are run horizontally to the height of 10'. The first layer of protection (visual deterrent) is our signage (located every 50') which advertises that it is an electric fence. This deters most would-be criminals. I . 5 The second layer of protection (audible deterrent) of our system is sirens. A siren sounds when a trespasser cuts the wires or places objects on them to insulate and bypass the system. The siren will automatically shut off after a set amount of time. This audible deterrent usually drives away most of the would-be criminals that are bold enough to proceed in spite of the warning signs. Included in this second layer of protection is 24/7 monitoring. In the event of an alarm, a signal will be sent to our monitoring station, who in turn, contacts our clients to let them know they had an alarm event. Our system does not directly connect to emergency services. The final layer of protection is our voltage. We have a pulsed burst of voltage (from the 12V battery) that has a duration of four-ten-thousandths of one second (.00004). If a bad guy was bold enough to grab or touch the fence, they receive a temporary pulse of voltage which is akin to a slap on the hand from a ruler. This 'shock' cannot cause ventricular defibrillation, burns, or any medical harm. This final layer of protection stops the remaining number of trespassers, not deterred by the signs or alarm. Please let me know if this answers all of your questions. In the meantime, I will be sending along all of the documentation for the Variance for the height to be included with the Building permit application submitted last month so we can get our client secure and safe from potentially future thefts. 740.4 you, Carol Banging©r Compliance Manager Direct: 803-404-6189 From: Wade Sanner [mailto:wsanner@ci.wheatridae.co.us] Sent: Tuesday, April 08, 2014 1:46 PM To: Carol Bausinger Cc: Meredith Reckert Subject: Ketelsen Camper's Wheat Ridge, CO Carol, I am forwarding the email my supervisor sent to Mr. Ketelsen.

The consensus of the group is that electric fences are unsafe and not enough research has been provided to determine otherwise. The following are some of the issues that were identified: • The obvious concern is safety, especially with the adjacency to Pennington Elementary. In addition, any such device with an electric current (even if it is pulsating) can be a health concern if contact is made and the impact can vary based on climate and weather conditions, size of the person getting shocked, etc. In addition to the life safety concerns, liability needs to be considered as well.

While we have spent some time looking at the Electric Guard Dog website, we would still like some real life examples so that we can make direct contact. Another option you mentioned was an application for a fence height variance. AS you are aware, the maximum fence height allowed is 6'; for a fence taller than that a variance is required. I have attached some information regarding our process. Ours is a two-tiered process whereby a request for less than a 50% variance could be considered administratively. I have attached some info regarding our variance process including the criteria we use to evaluate a variance.

Is the system on a timer that controls its' operation or is its' operation manually initiated and terminated? a. Response: the system is operated manually just as a security system would be in your home. 2. While it may be industry standard to install the system at the 10' height, is it possib/e to install it at a height of 6'? a. It is not possible to install it at 6'; This area is already surrounded by a chain link fence that is six to eight feet in height which would be criminals can use to climb over the interior and professional thieves are too easily able to circumvent our security system when it is less than 10' in height.

Can you elaborate on the reasoning behind the statement "The max separation is 12". Our system becomes rendered useless if installed more than one foot from the existing perimeter fence" so that I may better understand why an increased buffer zone width would not be possible? a. Our security system works in conjunction with the existing perimeter fence; the larger the separation, the easier it is for it to be compromised. A foot is considered to be less likely to be compromised. There is more likelihood of the system not functioning at its fullest capacity and sending out multiple false alarms. I've attached a sample photo to hopefully further detail the operations of the system. TAa.4 yOU.

Webster, Professor Emeritus of Biomedical Engineering of the University of Wisconsin, expert on pulsed electricity. Safety Of these devices is unparalleled as no deaths or serious injuries have occurred since the inception Of UL69 in 1939 with installations consistent with the UL69 Standard. This can be confirmed through Joel Hawk, Principal Engineer Of UL69, Underwriters Laboratories. Bill Fulcher Of OSHA, Leader Of Enforcement Programs, maintains a data base Of accidental death from all causes and no incidents have occurred directly related to the proper installation and operation of an electric fence consistent with the UL69 standards. With the inclusion Of a perimeter buffer fence, for all electric security fences as specified in IEC 60335-2-76, the risk Of accidental contact is substantially lowered. • Would the City be liable by issuing a permit for installation Of the fence/system if someone touches it and dies? o Please note, if they touch it, they will feel it and remember it. It is pulsed power, 12V/DC battery powered and completely independent of the power grid. However, no one will die nor has died as a result of touching the fence as factually stated above by OSHA since 1939.

Summary of Electric Guard Dog security system: The Electric Guard Dog security system is a low voltage (12V), battery powered (DC), independent of the electrical grid, self-contained system that has a variety of functions to it which make for a 100% medically safe and extremely effective crime deterrent. This fence is 10' high and is placed approximately 4"- 12" inside of the existing perimeter fence and is therefore not exposed to innocent passersby. To come in contact with the fence, a person would have to get past the perimeter fence, intentionally trespassing. It is comprised of twenty, 12.5 gauge, galvanized steel wires which are run horizontally to the height of 10'. The first layer of protection (visual deterrent) is our signage (located every 50') which advertises that it is an electric fence. This deters most would-be criminals. 6 The second layer of protection (audible deterrent) of our system is sirens. A siren sounds when a trespasser cuts the wires or places objects on them to insulate and bypass the system. The siren will automatically shut off after a set amount of time. This audible deterrent usually drives away most of the would-be criminals that are bold enough to proceed in spite of the warning signs. Included in this second layer of protection is 24/7 monitoring. In the event of an alarm, a signal will be sent to our monitoring station, who in turn, contacts our clients to let them know they had an alarm event. Our system does not directly connect to emergency services. The final layer of protection is our voltage. We have a pulsed burst of voltage (from the 12V battery) that has a duration of four-ten-thousandths of one second (.00004). If a bad guy was bold enough to grab or touch the fence, they receive a temporary pulse of voltage which is akin to a slap on the hand from a ruler. This 'shock' cannot cause ventricular defibrillation, burns, or any medical harm. This final layer of protection stops the remaining number of trespassers, not deterred by the signs or alarm. Please let me know if this answers all of your questions. In the meantime, I will be sending along all of the documentation for the Variance for the height to be included with the Building permit application submitted last month so we can get our client secure and safe from potentially future thefts. 74-,4 yoil.

Planner 1 DATE:April 1.2014 SUBJECT:9870 W. 1-70 Frontage Rd. S. :: Interpretation of Fencing Code The property owner. Randy Ketelsen. at 9870 W. I-70 Frontage Rd. is requesting an interpretation ofthe fencing section of the zoning code to permit the construction of an electrical security fence for his commercial property. The property owner and security fence provider have been in contact with staff since mid-March. Staff has discussed the proposal internally in division meeting in late March. Address: 9870 West 1-70 Frontage Road South Zoning: Commercial-One, Planned Commercial Development, Planned Industrial Development BACKGROUND SUMMARY Ketelsen Campers of Colorado. owned by Randy Ketelsen, has been in business in Wheat Ridge for thirty years. Ketelsen Campers is located at 9870 W. 1-70 Frontage Rd. S., and is made up of 4 parcels (PIN 39-222-04-002, PIN 39-222-04-001, PIN 39-222-17-001. and PIN 39-222-17-002). The 4 parcels include 3 separate zoning districts. Surrounding zoning includes: C-1 to the west. C-1 and I-E to the east, R-2 to the southeast, and N-C and A-1 to the southwest. The surrounding uses include: a hotel to the west. vacant land to the southwest. Pennington Elementary School to the south, and office warehouses to the east. 72//EB/PI Lot #Address Parcel ID # I 985() W. I-70 Rd S. 39-222-()4-002 2 9870 W.

The company has sustained losses in excess in $100,000. The areas most targeted are in the east, south and west sides of the property. Mr. Ketelsen has felt greatly supported by the Wheat Ridge Police Department, and has filed a number of police reports. In an effort to curve property crime, Mr. Ketelsen is proposing the construction of the Electric Guard Dog security system (see appendix). The system comprises of thin electrical wires strung between 8-foot tall poles. The wires run close together, usually 3-6 inches apart. Cable support poles are spaced 10 feet apart, 1 foot behind the existing divisional fence. The electric fence poles are spaced every ten feet to support the electric cables. The system provides electric wires that create a 3/10,0005 of a second electric shock, which is certified within OSHA Safety Standards by the International Electro-technical Commission. Along with an electric shock upon contact, the system is linked to a central monitoring station. If contact is made then the central monitoring system contacts the property owner to ask if the police should be dispatched. The system is both solar and battery powered. It is turned on and off via key pad or with smart phone access. Mr. Ketelsen would install this system around the rear and sides o f the property. No security system will be installed in the front of the property. CODE SECTIONS Planning The zoning code does not directly address electric fences. According to Section 26-603.C, permitted fences include: masonry walls, ornamental iron, woven wire and chain-link, wood, hedges, and barbed wire. Barbered wire fences are restricted to A-1 zoned properties, residential zones for keeping animals, and any properties in any zone district within the floodplain. Barbered wire fences are also permitted 2-feet on top of fences located in commercial, industrial, and public facilities zone districts. The code also prohibits (Section 26-603.E): 1. Any fence, if in the opinion of the chief building inspector, public works director, or chief of police, that would constitute a hazard to the health or safety of any person; and 2. Any fence which does not comply with the provisions hereof, unless a variance has been approved. The code does allow for some flexibility in planned development in Section 26-603.F fences and divisional walls within a planned development may vary from these standards; provided that the fences are in conformance with the provisions set forth for fencing and walls as approved in the outline development plan and as detailed on an approved specific development plan. Building Division There are no sections ofthe building code specific to fences. Electric fences would be covered under sections of the NEC related low voltage installations and the applicable sections would be determined by the components of the project and conditions of installation. The Abatement of Dangerous Buildings code would be applicable in instances where the fence installation would pose a hazard to the general public or animals. Building division would not be in support of allowing electrical security fencing. Code Enforcement Code enforcement looks to the municipal code to enforce electric fencing guidelines, which there are none. Code enforcement did state that some electrical fencing exists on a few properties it the agriculturally zoned districts. No complaints of adjacent property owners have occurred. Code Enforcement is in support of allowing electric security fence installation as some electrical fencing already exists for animals. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS Mr. Ketelsen's Property In regards to Mr. Ketelsen's property, the proximity to Pennington Elementary School is concerning for potential interaction between the electric fence and school children. The city already has provisions for barbed wire fencing that could be argued as a crime deterrent. A fence height variance, with barbered wire could prove to be a reasonable solution to the problem. City of Wheat Ridge Electric fences should not be eliminated entirely from the city. According to the Codes Department, electric fences do exist on some agriculturally zoned properties to control livestock on their property. Thus, in some agriculture zoned districts they could be permissible if kept within a certain level of volts. However, extensive review should be undertaken by either the permit process, or through public hearing to ensure exhaustive review of impacts to the adjacent properties and potential safety concerns. Electric fences should not be permitted for safety reasons. Further, proximity to schools or other public institutions should be a justification to not allow electric fences on the property.

I-70 Service Road S., Wheat Ridge, CO 80033 • 303-431 -2211 To Whom It May Concern: City of Wheat Ridge Wheat Ridge, Colorado Ketelsen Campers of Colorado has been a proud member of the Wheat Ridge community for nearly thirty years. We have always strived to present our business in the most positive, professional light possible. In the past couple of years however, our efforts have been continually violated by ever increasing crime and vandalism on our property. Significant efforts by the Wheat Ridge Police Department to be proactive in halting the continued crime have yielded enormous frustration and expense for all of us. We have sustained losses in excess of $100,000 in break-ins to our building and inventory. The targeted areas are always to the east, south and west sides of our property. Numerous police reports to confirm this can be made available at your request. I want to emphasize that the Wheat Ridge Police Department is actively supporting our efforts to stop the losses and are totally cooperative in attempting to protect our property. We have found an answer to our security needs. "Electric Guard Dog" is a security system that rings the inside of our property - inside our existing chain link fence. The system provides electric wires that not only provide a pulsatihg, short duration shock lasting 3/10,000th of a second - Certified within OSHA Safety Standards by International Electrotechnical Commission (per Vendor specifications), but is also directly linked to a central monitoring station. If contact is made then a Central Monitoring System calls meand asks if the police should be dispatched. This is exactly the process used for other security systems inside many businesses and homes. The system is solar powered. It is turned on and off via key pad or smart phone access. The system would obviously only be on when our business is closed. This system is successfully in use at a business with similar exposure as ours in Arvada, with no crime or incidents in nearly ten years. We are proposing to install this system around the rear and sides of our property. No parts of it will be forward of our buildings. We are confident that this monitored security system will solve the out-of-control break-ins and vandalism that continue to occur. We question the need for a permit as this is not considered a "fence." It is security wires - on our property - inside an already existing fence, linked to a Central Monitoring Station. The wires are ten feet high on small fiberglass poles to eliminate vandals going over the top of the existing six foot fence. The solar powered unit provides an efficient source for operating this system when our business is closed. I'm sure the Wheat Ridge Police Department will enthusiastically support and confirm the need for this system. The cost related to the constant calls to the City's Police Depanment is enormous. The financial savings to both parties is obviously great. If you have further questions then please contact me as soon as possible. We are ready to move forward with installation before the next break-in occurs.

Knox Company MKT-KBSPEO-0020-C THE UNIVERSITY WISCONSIN MADISON Safety of electric security fences John G. Webster Professor Emeritus of Biomedical Engineering University of Wisconsin-Madison Madison WI 53706 Electric current shocks us, not voltage Most of us can remember receiving an electric shock; it can happen during a regular day. How can that happen and when? Walking across a camel during dry weather, then touching a doorknob and feeling a spark thatjumps to the doorknob is a very common way. Placing a finger inside of a lamp socket that inadvertently was turned on is yet another. Touching the spark plug in a car or lawn mower has happened to many people as well. But why are we all still alive after receiving these electric shocks during a regular day? We are stiN alive because even though the voltage is high. not enough electric current flowed through our heart. Even when the voltage is high, when the current flows for only a very short duration we can not be electrocuted. Furthermore, it is even hard to get electrocuted in the home because the power line voltage of 120 volts can't drive enough continuous current through the high resistance of our dry skin. Kitchens and bathrooms fall in a different category; they are dangerous places because our skin may be wet. When our skin is wet, our skin resistance is low and permits a large electric current to flow through the body as shown in Figure 1. A large enough current can cause ventricular fibrillation. During ventricular fibrillation the pumping action of the heart ceases and death occurs within minutes unless treated. in the United States, approximately 1000 deaths per year occur in accidents that involve cord-connected appliances in kitchens, bathrooms, and other wet locations.

Note that as the shock duration is shortened to 0.2 seconds, it requires much more electric current to cause ventricular fibrillation. Electric security fences have taken advantage of this fact by shortening their shock duration to an even shorter duration of about 0.0003 seconds. Therefore, electric security fences are safe and do not lead to ventricular fibrillation due to the short 0.0003 second shock duration. . 5000- Fibrillation threshold 2000 - 1000 - 500 - 200 - . 0. iA rms, 60 Hz 47 Lead III • 94 kg pony + ] 2 kg dog • 10 kg dog 0 7.5 kg dog 0 6.0 kg dog x 5.0 kg dog . 50 -l.-33*ar>X . 20 - 10 I I I I I I 0.1 0.2 0.5 1 2 5 10 Shock duration, seconds Figure 2 Thresholds for ventricular fibrillation in animals for 60-Hz ac current.

It increases to about 800 milliamperes for 0.3 second shock duration. From L. A. Geddes,IEEE Trans. Biomed. Eng. 1973,20,465-468. Electricity near the heart is most dangerous There are four situations where electricity may be applied close to the heart. (1) Figure 3(b) shows when a catheter tube is threaded through a vein into the heart, any accidental current is focused within the heart and a small current can cause ventricular fibrillation. (2) Cardiac pacemakers also pass electric current inside the heart, but the current is kept so small that ventricular fibrillation does not occur. (3) A Taser weapon may rarely shoot a dart between the ribs very close to the heart and apply a 0.0001 second pulse, but this has not been shown to cause ventricular fibrillation. Typically when a person takes an overdose of drugs, he creates a disturbance, police are called, the person refuses to obey, the police Taser him, afterwards he dies of a drug overdose, and the newspapers report, "Man dies after Taser shot." (4) A defibrillator applies a 0.005 second, 40 ampere electric current. This causes massive heart contraction that can change ventricular fibrillation to normal rhythm and save a life. 2 Macroshock Microshock 31>x 4/Bia,Ed:i,&-90/3/1<62:Z. /....- Heartl - ac Heart AI t.) voltage C (b) ac voltage (a) Catheter Figure 3 Effect of entry points on current distribution.

When comparing an electric security fence to the above examples, we know that an electric security fence is similar to Figure 3(a). Why do we know that? If a person contacts an electric fence, electric current is concentrated in the limbs and causes a deterrent shock; when it continues to pass through the torso, it spreads out and becomes more diffuse. Therefore as shown in Figure 3(a) and in Figure 2 electric security fences are safe because the deterrent shock spreads out and becomes more diffuse and is of a very short duration. Only power lines cause ventricular fibrillation Table 1 shows that short duration electric pulses, even though applied near the heart do not cause ventricular fibrillation. In contrast, the continuous current from power lines kills 1000 persons per year.

In a commercial security setting, security fences deter crime and help apprehend criminals. The mere presence ofa security fencediscourages unlawful entry, theft and lhe destruction ofproperly. Additionally, it iseasier to apprehend the determined criminal because the owner and police are noti Bed instantaneously when the criminal distorts or breaks the fenoe. Se6urity fences also protect the people who work at a site, providing business owners and employees significant peace ofmind. The security fence sold by Sentry Security Systems is powered by a 12 volt DC marine (or similar) battery. The National Electric Code does not cover battery powered products such as smoke alarms. Therefore, the securityfence sold by Sentry Security Systems is not covered by the+IEC. There is in fact no US standard that addresses security fences whether main or battery powered. UL 69 addresses animal control fences but not security fences. There is, however, a good international standard - IEC60335-2-76 - that addresses security fences. This standard is attached for your information. We respectfully request that you determine that, as a battery powered device, security fences do not fall under the National Electric Code. 1 Safety of electric fence energizers Amit J. Nimunkarl and John G. Websterl 1Department of Biomedical Engineering, University of Wisconsin, 1550 Engineering Drive, Madison, WI 53706 USA. E-mail: Webster@,engr.wisc.edu (John G. Webster) Tel 608-263-1574, Fax 608-265-9239 Abstract The strength-duration curve for tissue excitation can be modeled by a parallel resistor- capacitor circuit that has a time constant. We tested five electric fence energizers to determine their current-versus-time waveforms. We estimated their safety characteristics using the existing IEC standard and propose a new standard. The investigator would discharge the device into a passive resistor-capacitor circuit and measure the resulting maximum voltage. Ifthe maximum voltage does not exceed a limit, the device passes the test. Key words: strength-duration curve, cardiac stimulation, ventricular fibrillation, electric safety, electric fence energizers, standards. 1. Introduction The vast majority of work on electric safety has been done using power line frequencies such as 60 Hz. Thus most standards for electric safety apply to continuous 60 Hz current applied hand to hand. A separate class of electric devices applies electric current as single or a train of short pulses, such as are found in electric fence energizers (EFEs). A standard that specifically applies to EFEs is IEC (2006). To estimate the ventricular fibrillation (VF) risk of EFEs, we use the excitation behavior ofexcitable cells. Geddes and Baker (1989) presented the cell membrane excitation model (Analytical Strength-Duration Curve model) by a lumped parallel resistance- capacitance (RC) circuit. This model determines the cell excitation thresholds for varying rectangular pulse durations by assigning the strength-duration rheobase currents, chronaxie, and time constants (Geddes and Baker, 1989). Though this model was originally developed based on the experimental results of rectangular pulses, the effectiveness of applying this model for other waveforms has been discussed (IEC 1987, Jones and Geddes 1977). The charge-duration curve, derived from the strength-duration curve, has been shown in sound agreement with various experimental results fbr irregular waveforms. This permits calculating the VF excitation threshold of EFEs with various nonrectangular waveforms. We present measurements on electric fence energizers and discuss their possibility of inducing VF. 2. Mathematical background and calculation procedures Based on the cell membrane excitation model (Weiss-Lapique model), Geddes and Baker (1989) developed a lumped RC model (analytical strength-duration curve) to describe the membrane excitation behavior. This model has been widely used in various fields in electrophysiology to calculate the excitation threshold. Figure 1 shows lhe normalized strength-duration curve for current 00, charge (Q) and energy (U).The expression ofcharge is also known as the charge- duration curve which is important for short duration stimulations. 1 10- 10 Enely (U) - 10 3- 1 1 0.3 030.001 0.01 ai 10 10 100 Current I 0 08,ello'n Ah@u3 Duration d/, Figure 1. Normalized analytical strength-duration curve fbr current I, charge Q, and energy U The x axis shows the normalized duration of dh. Note that for d << T, Qis constant and the most appropriate variable for estimating cell excitation. (from Geddes and Baker, 1989). The equation for the strength-duration curve is (Geddes and Baker, 1989), t Av= IRC -e T), (1) where I is a step current intensity, R is the shunt resistance, Av is the depolarization potential threshold which is about 20 mV for myocardial cells, r is the RC time constant, and t is the time I is applied. Ifwe let the stimulation duration go to infinity, the threshold current is defined as the rheobase current (I = b). If we substitute I in equation (1) by b and define the threshold current 4 = av/R for the stimulation with duration d Equation (1) becomes, b Id =d. 1-e T We can calculate the threshold charge (Qd) by integrating equation (2) and it becomes, 2 1000 -1000 300- i - 300 100-7 100 30- For short duration stimulation (d << T) with duration shorter than 0.1 times the RC time constant, equation (3) can be approximated by equation (4) and it yields equation (5), d a1-e r .-, (4) T Qd = br Equation (5) suggests that the charge excitation threshold for short duration stimulation is constant and equals the product ofthe RC time constant r and the rheobase b. Geddes and. Bourland (1985) showed that the charge-duration curve for single rectangular, trapezoidal, half sinusoid and critically damped waveforms had a good agreement for short duration stimulations. Therefore we used the same model to estimate thresholds for stimulation sources where I was not constant, under the same stimulation setting. Cardiac cell excitation has been intensively studied at the 60 Hz power line frequency because most accidental electrocutions occur with 60 Hz current, which has a longer duration relative to the cardiac cell time constant ofabout 2 ms. However, EFEs operate with pulse durations much shorter than the time constant. 3. Methods Figure 2 shows our experimental test set-up. The EFEs under test consist of Gallagher Group Ltd Powerplus B600 (EFE 1), Gallagher Group Ltd PowerPlus B280 (EFE2), Speedrite HPB (EFE3), Intellishock 20B (EFE4) and Blitzer 8902 (EFE5) EFEs. The short duration electrical pulses from these EFEs are passed though a series of eleven 47 Q (ARCOL D4.29, HS50 47 R ID resistors which measure 518 Q, which represents approximately the internal resistance ofthe human body. It is further connected to two 18 Q (RH 10 207 DALE 10 W 3%) resistors connected in parallel which measure 9.08 0. This is used as the sensing resistor across which the oscilloscope measures the output voltage. For these very short pulses it is important to use noninductive resistors because the same current flowing through a resistor that has substantial inductance will measure a larger current than a resistor that is noninductive. To reduce electromagnetic interference, a faraday cage, covered with aluminum foil, was connected to ground. This diverted the electromagnetic interference to ground. The data were collected in EXCEL format from a disk in the Agilent 54621 oscilloscope. The calculations for different parameters presented in Table 1 and the Figures 3-5 were plotted using MATLAB. 3 bd Qd=4d=d'(3) 1-e r Electric Fence 2pF=Enernizer 7 r--- Taser -*-0 4 E Ri R2 Rs Ril 4 Slo i g S4 L : Osdlloscope -n .08 05 -1-Agilent 54621 1) t Leak Detector Aluminum foil -©S2Faraday cage : Aluminum foil -Figure 2. The EFE is selected by S 1. The current flows through a string of 47 0 resistors Rl-Rll(total 518 fl) which approximates the internal body resistance of 500 92. The 9.08 0 yields a low voltage that is measured by the oscilloscope. 3.1. Determination of current EFEs are used in conjunction with fences wires to form animal control fences and security fences. We tested five EFEs (EFEl-EFE5) using the experimental set-up in Figure 2 and obtained the output currents shown in Figure 3. 14 12- i 10- 8- g :iM 1 . . EFE1 -EFE2 ......

I(t) is the impulse current as a function of time." 1n 3.117 it defines "output current: r. m. s. value ofthe output current per impulse calculated over the impulse duration." In 3.118 it defines "standard load: load consisting of a non-inductive resistor of 500 0 * 2.5 0 and a variable resistor that is adjusted so as to maximize the energy per impulse or output current in the 500 Q resistor, as applicable." In 22.108, "Energizer output characteristics shall be such that - the impulse repetition rate shall not exceed 1 Hz; - the impulse duration ofthe impulse in the 500 Q component ofthe standard load shall not exceed 10 ms; - for energy limited energizers the energy/impulse in the 500 Q component of the standard load shall not exceed 5 J; The energy/impulse is the energy measured in the impulse over the impulse duration. - for current limited energizers the output current in the 500 Q component ofthe standard load shall not exceed for an impulse duration ofgreater than 0.1 ms, the value specified by the characteristic limit line detailed in Figure 102; an impulse 'duration of not greater than 0.1 ms, 15 700 mA. The equation ofthe line relating impulse duration Ons) to output current (mA) for 1 000 mA < output current < 15 700 mA, is given by impulse duration = 41.885 x 103 x (output current)-'34„ We used these definitions and calculated the total energy, the shortest duration where 95% ofthe total energy occurs, the rms current for that duration from Figure 3 for the EFEs (EFEt-EFE5). Similarly we calculated the output current using the relationship impulse duration = 41.885 x 10 x (output current)-1.34, provided by the IEC for all the EPEs (EFEI-EFES). Table 1 lists these under the heading "A. (IEC)". Table 1 shows that all the EFEs pass the IEC standard. 5 5. Proposed new standard IEC (2006) uses the rms current for the shortest duration where 95% ofthe total energy occurs as the standard to determine ifthe EFE is safe for use. Geddes and Baker (1989) have shown that for pulses shorter than the cardiac cell time constant of 2 ms, the electric charge is the quantity that excites the cells. We propose a simple experimental set-up shown in Figure 2 to determine the maximum amount ofcharge that would flow from the EFEs and cause cardiac cell excitation. The cardiac cell is modeled as an RC circuit in Fig. 2 with R = 9.08 Q and C = 200 uF (GECONOL 9757511FC 200 F *10% 250 VPK) with the RCtime constant of 1.82 ms. For the EFEs (EFEl and EFE2) the switches Sl and S4 are closed. This allows the 200 FF capacitor to charge rapidly (about 100 Fs) and discharge fairly slowly (r= RC = 1.82 ms). Figures 4 and 5 show the voltage vs time waveforms for the different EFEs. The test was not performed for electric fence energizers EFE3-EFE5. 4 -EFE1 3.5 - 3- 2.5 - 15 1.5- 1- 0.5 - 0- I -0.50 500 1000 1500 2000 2500 3000 Time (ps) Figure 4.

The maximal charge that flows through the cardiac cell model is given by Q = CF= 200 uF x 3.88 V = 775 FC, the current during which the capacitor charges to maximal value is given by I= CF/T= (200 BF x 3.88 V)/233 ps = 3.33 A. 6 Time (ps) Figure 5.

The maximal chargethat flows through the cardiac cell model is given by Q = CF= 200 FF x 2.91 V = 582 BIC, the current during which the capacitor charges to maximal value is given by I = CF/T = (200 F x 2.91 V)/132 gs = 4.41 A. 6. Discussion Geddes and Baker (1989) have shown that for pulses shorter than the cardiac cell time constant of2 ms, the electric charge is the quantity that excites cardiac cells. Because the first half'wave is the largest, the charge integrated in the first half wave determines cardiac cell excitation. The next half wave discharges the cardiac cell capacitance and does not contribute to cardiac cell excitation. Thus we list integral I(t) = charge Q in Table 1. IEC (2006) integrates 19), which is roughly equal to I(t). Their Figure 102 roughly follows charge. We propose revising EFE standards for measuring current to determine a safety standard to prevent VF. The new standard would measure cardiac cell excitation. It would not require the complex calculations required to determine "The current which flows during the time period in which 95 percent ofthe output energy (is delivered)." It would use a simple circuit similar to that in Figure 2 composed ofresistors and a capacitor. The investigator would discharge the device into the circuit and measure the maximum voltage. Ifthe maximum voltage does not exceed 5 V (as a conservative estimate), the EFE passes the test. The 500 Q resistor closely approximates the resistance of the body and determines the current that flows through the body.

We have always strived to present our business in the most positive, professional light possible. In the past couple of years however, our efforts have been continually violated by ever increasing crime and vandalism on our property. Sighificant efforts by the Wheat Ridge Police Department to be proactive in halting the continued crime have yielded enormous frustration and expense for all of us. We have sustained losses in excess of $100,000 in break-ins to our building and inventory. The targeted areas are always to the east, south and west sides of our property. Numerous police reports to confirm this can be made available at your request. 1 want to emphasize that the Wheat Ridge Police Department is actively supporting our efforts to stop the losses and are totally cooperative in attempting to protect our property. We have found an answer to our security needs. "Electrit Guard Dog" is a security system that rings the inside of our property - inside our existing Chain link fence. The system provides electric wires that not only provide a pulsating, short duration shock lasting 3/10,000th of a second - Certified Within OSHA Safety Standards by International Electrotechnical Commission (per Vendor specifications), but is also directly linked to a central monitoring station. If contact is made then a Central Monitoring System calls meand asks if the police should be dispatched. This is exactly the process used for other security systems inside many businesses and homes. The system is solar powered. It is turned on and off via key pad or smart phone access. The system would obviously only be on when our business is closed. This system is successfully in use at a business with similar exposure as ours in Arvada, with no crime or incidents ih nearly ten years. We are proposing to install this system around the rear and sides of our property. No parts of it will be forward of our buildings. We are confidentthat this monitored security system will solve the out-of-control break-ins and vandalism that continue to occur. We question the need for a permit as this is not considered a "fence." It is security Wires - on our property - inside an already existing fence, linked to a Central Monitoring Station. The wires are ten feet high on small fiberglass poles to eliminate vandals going over the top of the existing six foot fence. The solar powered unit provides an efficient source for operating this system when our business is closed. I'm sure the Wheat Ridge Police Department will enthusiastically support and confirm the need for this system. The cost related to the constant calls to the City's Police Department is enormous. The financial savings to both parties is obviously great. If you have further questions then please contact me as soon as possible. We are ready to move forward with installation before the next break-in occurs.
