Case WZ-75-17 2 rezoning request by Amoco Oil Co for rezoning from
Restricted-Commercial to Commercial-O~e at 4901 Kipling Street, was

Marilvn Habgood of the Planning Dept stated the rezoning request
does conform to the Land Use Plan and that an error had been in the
Minutes stating it did not conform. She stated
1 Either commercial or industrial uses are appropriate for
the area, due to arterial status of Kipling and existing zoning.

,0 one appeared in opposition.
~otion by Councilman Merkl "I recommend approval of Case WZ-75-17

the following reasons
1. The Planning Departmenr recommends approval.
2. The Planning Commission recommends approval.
3 It does conform to the Land Use Plan west of Kipling"

Case WZ-75-18, a rezoning request from Residential-Three to Restricted-
Commercial-One at 4280 Harlan Street by Ray and ldith Butterfield was
scheduled for Public Hearing.
Marilvn Habqood stated
1. The Land Use Plan shows low density residential.
2. General zoning of the area is Restricted Commerc~, Residential-
Three and Commercial-One.
3. General land use of the area is single family residential,
commercial and vacant.
4. The Planning Dept. recommends denial because an extension
of commercial zoning into a residentially zoned block is not justified
at this time, and the existing uses are primarily single family residential.
IVlr. Rav Butterfield owner and applicant stated they reSDe at 4240 Harlan.
They are requesting limited commercial and that most of the area to
W. 44 Ave is commercial now and has presented no problem to the residences.
He stated he had a buyer for the house who would use it as an insurance
office and it would maintain the value of the property.
Mr. Wildeman stated he was affiliated with Farmers Insurance and planned
to move into the house and make no exterior change except putting a
sidewalk around the house and removing the driveway on Harlan and
having parking in the back. He stated with 1-70 only 4 blocks away
the traffic is heavy and people do not want to live there. He stated
he planned to have a border baween the houses and parking area, and
that the high price of commercial sites precluded his purchasing them.
He stated the greenhouse to the south is commercial and ni an asset to the area
Councilman Cavarra stated the Coun il must look at the whole block and
area and not just this one site when deciding rezonings.
Speaking in Opposition were
Dave Kline of 4260 Harlan who stated he was directly south of
the property in question and stated he wanted to keep the residential
neighborhood.
Marvin Debusik of 4205 Gray stated he was speaking for the 11 houses
on Gray Street and they were opposed to the rezoning. He stated they
wanted to preserve the residential area and it is very busy now with
the park on the east and Harlan on the west. He stated the greenhouse
is an asset to the neighborhood and he had lived there 17 years.
A show of hands showed 8 people opposed and 4 in favor of the rezoning.
Motion by Councilman Turner "I move that Case WZ-75-18,a request
for Restrict8d-Comm8rcial-One where Residential-Three now exists be
denied for the following reasons
1 The zoning request does not comply with the Land Use Plan
which specifies low density.
2. It would encourage further extension of commercial zoning
on Harlan Street.
3. It represents encroachment of commerc~ upon a residential
area" Motion was seconded by Councilman Merkl and passed 6-0

The proposed operating Budget for 1976 was scheduled for Public Hearing
Mr. Jerman read a summary of what had been changed in the various departments
from the Budget Sessions that Council had been having the prior week
RoV Combs of 3815 Robb asked why I,he street improvements and repair
in the Public Works Department was set aside as capital improvements
Mr. Jerman stated the magnitude is so great for these projects that
they can not be done on a 4.8 mill levy and the only things that can
be done on that mill levy are things like street striping and patchwork.
Don Lancaster of 4076 Everett Street asked if the City had any criteria
for replacement of vehicles. Mr. Jerman stated the Council is informed
of the condition of the vehicles and number of miles. Mr. Lancaster
aske~ if a ratio factor for inflation was used and Mr. Jerman stated
therBwas no ratio and this was at the department heads discretion.
Mr. L~ncaster asked if subscriptions had been reviewed and Mr. Jerman
stated "yes." Mr. Lancaster asked if the city's expenditures were
listed anywhere and Mr. HulseV handed him a monthly activity report
which lists them. Mr. Lancaster asked if therewas a summary of trips
for the entire city rather than by departments. Mr. Jerman stated
this was available last year with the object codes totalled for the
whole city. Mr. Lancaster felt this should be looked into.
Lois Salo of 3760 Hoyt questioned what the unallocated reserve was
spent for. Mr. Jerman stated it was for unforseen expenditures.
Mrs Salo stated she felt the City should allocate some money to
the Jefferson County IVlental Health Association which serves 600 people
in a year and 900 families. She stated the Association had requested
funds from the City and 1 in 10 persons needs the facility at some time
in their life, or would use private psychiatric facilities.
uancv _Snow of 11150 West 40 Avenue stated she was disturbed that there
was no money in the operating budget for streets and drainage and
felt some should be in the budget. She stated the priorities for
the city are streets and drainage as expressed from the citizens,
and yet there's a $600,000 parks budget and a $700,000 Public Works
Budget. She stated this ratio is "ridiculous" and that many items
in the budget are not needed as much as streets and drainage
Councilman Turner stated she had been asked to put in writing reductions
that she felt could be made in the budget and had done so. She had
come up with a $290,940 savings in the budget and including open
space money it totalled $490,940. Her report is attached to the Minutes
~ouncilman Hul~ stated she had cut down trips for all departments
except the City Clerk's and that the City had adopted a park plan
for the open space money which should be followed. Councilman Turn~~
stated she recommended that all elected officials be limited to $418
per year to be used at their discretion of which conferences to attend,
and that parts of the open space park plan do have areas in Lena
Gulch designated so that this land would be used for drainage project
ROW acquisition also.
Councilman Cavarra stated she felt the budget must show to the citizens
that if the tax increase goes through, that it would not be eaten up
by operating expenses in a few years as has happened now, and that
the city's budget previously had capital improvements in the operating
budget.
A Motion to authorize expenditure of $250.50 from the unallocated
reserve for street barricades used at the Carnation Festival was scheduled.
Mr. Jerman suggested this be deferred one week for a resolution which
would also reflect appropriation adjustments for other departments.

Request for approval to complete necessarv modifications to the
curb, gutter and drainage at W. 38 Avenue and Lee at an estimated
cost of $2900 was scheduled. Mr. Clyde Hobbs, Director of Public
Works stated the grade on the curb ranges from 9.8% to 6.5% He
stated this must be corrected and also the street has less than
a 1% grade and the present curb was placed o~ the idea of a 2%
grade for the street with future correction of the street. He
stated this would not Cause a drainage problem on W. 38 Avenue if
corrected and the existing drain line flows into Lena Gulch. Councilman
Turner asked if an access area could be made on the curb and Mr. Hobbs
stated it was not recommended due to the slope It was decided that
this cost could be incorporated into a Resolution for next week
Councilman Hgward asked what was being done on the expired
remporary Certificates of Occupancy that had been issued for

at W. 29 Ave. and Youngfield on a share cost basis between Lakewood,
Wheat Ridge and Jefferson County was introduced by Councilman Turner

the Wheat Ridge park plan and would slow down the purchase of other
parks and he was not in faur of paying for a park outside the City.
Councilman Cavarra stated she was in favor of cooperation with another
entity and that some areas should be in public ownership for safety.
Councilma i Merkl stated Whe~Ridge residents would gain the most from
the park ~~. Horton stated that it will depend upon the purchase

You have asked me to put in writing what I would reduce in the Budget
(Preliminary Budget) in order to find $250,OCO for Capital Expenditures
for drainage and/or street work in 1976.
Having now had a chance to hear the Department
ments and time to try to evaluate, I submit the
amounts stated are the amounts I would subtract
sed for each account in the preliminary budget.
Though, admittedly I feel many smaller cuts would be wise, I have included
on this list only those accounts where the amount is $1000 or more. I
would call your attention to the number that are over $1000, over $5000
and even more.

For proposed additions to the budget with which I concur (p.2)
Abreakdown of the costs of the Lena Gulch Project given last week
included $200,000 needed for ROWand Easement acquisition. This or any
part of itmight be realized with Open Space Funds.
Add to the
Above Amount
$200,000
(Open Space Funds-or any part of such funds desired for
Drainage Projects ROW Acquisition.)
$490,940 TOTAL
There is the possibility of Urban Drainage Funds-not vet conFirmed and
State Funds in Kipling Area-recommended by the Public Works Committee
but not yet requested.
There is nothing budgeted in the 1976 Budget for Capital Improvements
as such although many items similar to items in Budgets of 1974 and
before do occur under other headings.(Facility Improvements, Equipment,
Engineering Studies, etcJ
There is nothing budgeted for Streets-Capital Improvements and there
isn't an Account # for Drainage-the two main areas of Citizen concern.
THE TOTAL BUDGET FOR 1976 IS $3,121,310. IN ADDITION TO THIS 'tlHE,'H
RIDGE WILL RECEIVE SOMETHING IN THE NEIrHBORHooD OF $200,000 from
THE OPEN SPACE FUND. THIS BRINGS US TO A TOTAL OF A~PROXIMATELV
$3,300,000 THAT WE WILL SPEND IN 1976 AND WHERE WE SPEND IT IS SIMPLY
A MATTER OF PRIORITIES.
