Councilman Merkl stated if the cases come before Council, there is nothing that states that these requirements can't be varied. He stated it did not mean there was no fleXibility but it is a direction to the staff. Councilman Cavarra stated that when a person gets a building permit there are no hearings involved, and asked if this resolution could be appealed to the Board of Adjustment. Mr. Lund stated "yes." Councilman Howard qJestioned whether or not a resolution could change the basic ordinance. Mr. Lund stated this is only giving direction. Councilman Cavarra stated the street plan is going to be a part of the Comprehensive Plan, and it is very vital and this item should not be passed off as only direction. Mr. Hobbs stated this policy is only for the existing width of ROW. Councilman Ca 'arra stated there are various ways to utilize the existing width. Councilman Merkl stated his area four group had met in Ward I and had endorsed the plan Councilman Turner stated that when the standard is set the street width is being established Mr. Preston of 3480 Upham stated he had attended the Area 4 meeting and they feel this is upgrading the old specifications from the county. He stated they did not discuss arterials but only collator and local streets. He stated they endorsed the plan and also recommended on collector streets that a 6" vertical curb be used. In answer to a question he said 10 or 12 people attended. He stated they had been told this wouldn't affect existing streets because the city doesn't have the money to pave these streets etc. Ben Chastain of 3250 Marshall Street stated he had attended the Area 4 meeting also and they had been told the standards would not affect fully rnveloped property, but would affect onlV new construction.

MINUTES - 8/18/75 - Continued -5- Mrs Jeannie Merkl of 3891 Estes stated she felt this was a very important topic because this affected the width of streets in Ihe future She recof1lEnded that they have a Public Hearing. She stated on her street the placement of curb had been required for a structure and it would cause flOOding if it had been closer to her house because it is not continuous. She stated due to the many hills in Wheat Ridge and the drainage problems it is a serious issue on how wide the street is. She stated the people in her area want ed their street to remain the same. Motion to Amend by Councilman Cavarra "I'd like to offer an amendment to this No.5 that spells it out a little more clearly which says 'If an existing subdivision is more than 50% developed with no curb gutter or sidewalk, the Director of Public Works can authorize execution of a development agreement. ," She explained that building is difficult for the home builder and this would help, and that this would clarify No. 2 which is very broad. Councilman Turner staLed there is a large number of people who desire properties with no curb and gutter. She stated it used to be in the Subdivision Regulations that curb and gutter is required if 5 or more houses are being built. She stated that widening of the streets and increasing the asphalt is a very real financial burden for the city to assume. She stated that 26' pavement allows plenty of room on either side of the pal/ement for the easements for utilities and separated walkways and bikeways which is a realistic alternative instead of always requiring curb ang gutter when it is not conforming. She stated if the width of pavement is increased from 26' to 44' the drainage problem will increase accordingly with approximately 47000 sq. ft. additional impervious material. Motion by Councilman Howard "I move that Resolution No. 406 as introduced by Councilman Merkl be approved." Motion was seconded by Councilman Hulsey. Councilman Cavarra stated she had offered an amendment to the resolution. Mavor Roesener stated "It was not as the Chair recognized it. I defer to the wishes of the Council in this situation."

Mayor Roesener stated that when the ROW is established it belongs to the City and the people who have built or planted on the ROW "knew good and well it wasn't theirs." He stated he was not opposed to separated walkways. He stated this will not automatically widen streets. Question was called on Motion to adopt Resolution No. 406 and passed 4-2.

She stated the City could afford to put in real estate improvements, a'ld an additional cost ie Centennial Engineering plus 1200 hours of staff engineering. Councilman Hulsey stated this will be cheaper in the long run due to lowered maintenance, it will channel the water and the curbs are safer for children. Councilman Donaldson asked if the water companies and post office could remove the water meters and mailboxes at their own expense. Councilman Cavarra stated when the project started out it was a simple concept of a 4' asphalt path and the bid has exceeded all estimates, and that the money could be better utilized by using the simple concept.
