RESOLUTION NO. 1264
SERIES OF 1991
TITLE: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF WHEAT RIDGE SETTING FORTH THE
CITY COUNCIL'S REQUEST FOR DENIAL OF A PROPOSED REZONING
FOR GRAVEL EXTRACTION PURPOSE AT THE SHEEP MOUNTAIN
QUARRY
WHEREAS, the proposal to operate the Sheep Mountain
Quarry near Golden will be considered by the Jefferson County
Planning Commission and recommendation made to the Board of
County Commissioners; and
WHEREAS, the location is functionally connected to the
City of Wheat Ridge via Clear Creek, which runs through the site
to Wheat Ridge and can thus affect down stream use, and by
Colorado Highway 58, which intersects with Interstate 70 within
the City of Wheat Ridge, and thus Wheat Ridge may be affected by
increases in traffic, noise and emission pollution, and reduction
of tranquility along the routes; and
WHEREAS, this operation would destroy the quality of life
and environment for all residents surrounding the Quarry and the
municipalities, including Wheat Ridge; and
WHEREAS, the proposed Sheep Mountain Quarry would
increase the need for services by Lutheran Medical Center, and
have a severe visual impact on the City of Wheat Ridge and
surrounding municipalities; and
WHEREAS, the Jefferson County Planning Commission's 20
requests for more information have not been answered satis-
torily;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the
City of Wheat Ridge, to respectfully request the Jefferson County
Planning Commission to recommend denial and the Board of County
Commissioners to deny the rezoning for the Sheep Mountain Quarry.
DONE AND RESOLVED this 26th day of August, 1991.
