PROPERTY CONSISTING OF APPROXIMATELY 9.84 ACRES OR SOME PORTION THEREOF,
LOCATED EASTERLY OF KIPLING STREET ADJACENT TO CLEAR CREEK FROM WHEAT
RIDGE'S SHARE OF THE JEFFERSON COUNTY PARKS AND OPEN SPACE FUND.
WHEREAS, the City will require a portion of the Van Hooser property, con-
sisting of approximately 9.84 acres or some portion thereof, located easterly of
Kipling Street adjacent to Clear Creek for the construction of flood control
improvements on Lena Gulch, and
WHEREAS, the City will also require a portion of this property for access
to a footbridge over Clear Creek as an extension of Independence Court, and

separate portions of the Van Hooser property may be more costly than the acquisi-
tion of the entire parcel due to severance damages, and

County Parks and Open Space Program, provided the Open Space Fund is reimbursed
for any specific sections of the property which will be used for other than Parks
and Open Space purposes, such as flood control.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Wheat
Ridge that the Van Hooser property, consisting of 9.84 acres, or some portion
thereof, be appraised and acquired under the Jefferson County Open Space Fund,
subject to the Fund being reimbursed by the City and Urban Flood Control and
Drainage District for the portion used for flood control;

(1) the portion to be utilized for Lena Gulch improvement only; (2) that portion
to be used for Lena Gulch improvement plus Open Space; and (3) the entire parcel
of 9.84 acres;
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Jefferson County Board of County
Commissioners be requested to acquire the property as soon as possible under the
conditions outlined in this Resolution;
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the cost of the appraisal for the property
