City Attorney'~ ~1atters
The City Attorney suggested that at a Study Session in the very near future
Council consider how to implement the Charter with its various provisions
He also indicated that whereas in the past he had been favoring two Public Hear-
ings on rezonings, he is now leaning toward passing the rezoning ordinance on
first reading (it would be approved only as to form and that it had been pre-
viously approved by the Planning Commission and not to be construed as approval
of the zoning) Then the Public Hearing would be held at the same meeting as
the second reading City Attorney was asked to come back with a definite pro-
cedure--March 6--perhaps at 7 00
Council Members' Matters
Council person Fiasco asked clarification of the City Attorney with respect to
\1l Before meet with the County Commissioners on the Open Space program, is this
considered or construed as a secret meeting (The City Attorney replied that the
case is "close" but that it does come under the requirements of an open meeting
and if it is closed could cause problems) (2) Clarification on inverse condem-
nation (The City Attorney defined Inverse Condemnation as depriving someone
by legislative action of the effective use of their property The City Adminis-
trator said there is one difference--that is, the School Board did request a
closed meeting)
Announcements

Christopher J Munch, 3841 Chase St , spoke in onposition to the proposal Re-
ferred~letter-51gned by Homer Acre and Dr Day re Court decisions upholding
restrictive covenants pertinent to the property in question nren 70npd for
residential use, proposal not in conformity with the Plan for this area, and
would affect monetary interest and quality of life for area residents
Jennie Pettit, 3930 Eaton St , resident since 1~07 strongly opposes construction
oTThe -proposed development, does not conform to the residem:Ll character of
the area, blanket restrictive covenant was placed upon entire area limiting the
construction to one-family residence Past attempts to chan0e or develop other-
wise have met with leoal action, and enforcement of the F~trirtiv~ venants
have been uoheld bv the Courts There is also a drainage proolem in this area
which would' be aggravated by the proposed construction doubtful that existing
City Council ~inutes March 6, 1978 Page -2-
sanitation facilities would be sufficient, may also create domestic water supply
problems, schools now inadequate, and traffic impact It/ould be increased
L Homer Acre, 4017 Depew St , spoke in opposition to the proposal Mr Acre
cited the restrictive covenants and Court cases upholding enforcement in previous
Court actions He stated the building of the apartment complex will adversely
affect the value of and the livability of their homes, the preservation of their
neighborhood is in the best interest of the Denver Metro area
Dean Randall, 3901 Eaton St , also spoke in opposition to the proposed apartment
complex:-relating past history of residence of family, park named after Father
Would like to live here a long time, apartment complex would increase amount of
population in area adding to noise and air pollution, added traffic, with in-
creased safety hazard to all, decrease property values
A show of hands indicated some fifteen to twenty people present in opposition to
the development as proposed City Attorney commented in response to Council
query that it would probably be bound by restrictive covenants if found to be
valid
Mr Shelley, Acting Director, Community Development Dept , gave report of the
Plannfng'Commission that after consideration, recommended by unanimous vote
to disapprove the development as proposed as too intensive and did not comply
with the Comprehensive Plan HUD is not bound by Council actions, however,
they take the recommendations from the local government into high consideration
Councilperson Turner requested that HUD be once again advised that such develop-
ments be dispersed rather than in large numbers in one location, thus to become
a part of a neighborhood, rather than as an area identified Amended Motion
"I move that the Counci 1 forward our recommendati ons on the proposarC099-0039-010
to HUD with the information that the request does not comply with the City of
Wheat Ridge Comprehensive Plan, that the existing zoning does not permit number
of units applied for, nor the uses, specifically, the laundromat, and that the
staff be directed to put the response into technical compliance with the regula-
tions from HUD, I would further move that the proposal as requested violates
the Restrictive Covenants upheld by the Colorado Supreme Court as it applies
to the Stewart Gardens Subdivision, and that the amount of units that can be
built would not be compatible to the area north, east, and west of this prop-
erty" Original motion by Councilperson Lewman, seconded by Councilperson
Donaldson Amending Motion by Councilperson Pepe, seconded by Councilperson
Turner Amendment carried by vote of 4-0, amended motion carried by vote of 4-0
Iten1...l Adopt Policy and Procedures re Zoni~by Ordinance
City Attorney presented report and recommendations concerning rezoning proce-
dures, would recommend having a public hearing immediately prior to the second
reading, suggest adopt procedures as outlined in the proposed Amendment to Coun-
cil Rules of Order and Procedure, to be eventually outlined and adopted by
Ordinance It was acknowledged that when rezoning ordinance is introduced on
first reading that a vote in favor in no way restricts a vote in opposition
after the public hearing to be held before the second reading Amended Motion
"I would move that all Rezoning Ordinances have the Title read infuilon~First
Reading Rezoning Ordinances recommended by the Planning Commission for approval
shall be passed on First Keading and scheduled for Public Hearing immediately
prior to Second Reading After proper publication, the Ordinance shall be read
by Title only on Second Reading and then opened to the Public Hearing Follow-
ing the Hearing, the City Council shall make findings of fact based upon the
evidence presented prior to their making a motion for final action on the
Ordinance Pursuant to the findings made, the Ordinance may be defeated,
adopted in final form, or amended All other procedures established by the
Rules of Procedure shall apply to Rezoning Ordinances unless specifically
stated herein In the event a recommendation of denial is forwarded by the
Planning Commission, the recommendation will be considered final unless appealed
by the applicant The appeal shall be made to City Council within thirty (30)
calendar days after recommendation by the Planning Commission In the event
appeal is properly made before City Council, then a full revie\'i of the record
presented to the Planning Commission shall be made, and the applicant shall be
given opportunity to present argument in his behalf Council may, in its
discretion, provide the opportunity for full Public Hearing at a later time"

Dudley F Bentley 4403 Teller St , related history of organization of !Nheat
Rfdge.Senlor"s.- flr Bentley described the activities of the ad hoc committee
of the group in touring and studying Senior Centers in the Denver Metro area
in the planning of a Senior Center in Wheat Ridge
Lee Graham, 2926 Ames St , requested support for planning/development of a
Center fnWheat Ridge citing cooperation of Parks Board, and indication of
studies by various groups of importance and need for availability of a Center
The group felt that the Hart Estate was not satisfactory, as too small, a two-
story building, load-bearing walls not feasible for removal, and isolated for
safety purposes He recommended the Center be placed in an area adjacent to
the City Hall Complex at 29th & Wadsworth, as there are more Seniors in the
eastern part of City, would be a safety factor as close proximity to Police
Department, and accessibility to public transportation He stated the Seniors
would donate what could be feasible with respect to finances, and suggested
the 1979 tax/rent rebate could be set aside and used for the facility He
described the Elsie Malley Centennial Center facilities of 13,800 square feet,
and estimated that with costs at $50 square foot, a facility in Wheat Ridge,
furnished, could be built for $750,000 ~ounc~Y'son Do.n~ld~o~ suggested
that he thought it would be a good thing to get started in the City, and there
should be formed a citizen's committee, possibly made up of the Senior Citizens,
to go into this, and have some further study, to find out costs, what is needed
in the way of a building plans, rooms, etc

matter had been held in October, thereafter, further reviews and analysis made,
a Master Plan had been develo~ed three years ago, that citizens are welcome to
review files and information available in offices of Wright-McLaughlin, and
made the following recommendation That alternate number 6 is recommended for
the design of the first section of Lena Gulch, and requested Council and City
staff to study the alternates for consideration at next Council meeting
Dave VanHooser family, 4152 Kipling, Sam Martin, 3835 Robb St , and other area
resident/cltTZens~who did not give thelr-name~ appeared to voice their opinions
and suggestions re design of first reach of Lena Gulch Their concerns covered
opposition to proposed alternatives that original channel has never been
cleaned out in last fifteen years, bottleneck at Red Barn location, Lena Gulch
matters should be discussed in same manner as a zoning case, concern of over-
flow from r~aple Grove reservoir traffic problems during construction, and
insufficient notifcation to area residents There are five other public meet-
ings scheduled for t1arch and jl.pril, notices to be published in the paper, these
meetings to cover other areas of the Lena Gulch design alternatives Necessary
for a decision to be made with respect to the first redch design before devel-
opment of remainder of design can be made
The orioinal deadline for desion completion was September 1978, and the longer
it takes for decision, the contract costs will increase In the original
agreement, it was set up for one public meeting and one Council meeting on
each one of the reaches The rieeting of t~arch 6th was, in effect, to all o \>1
additional citizen input briefinq of Council, and to f:lake decision next meeting

~1r__Vj.9.91, Director of Administrative Services Dept , informed Council that a num-
ber of positions were audited per specific requests for possible reclassification,
and after examining job audits, proposals, and salary surveys, the Personnel
Commission developed certain recommendations It was consensus of Council that
since this would only partially solve some problem positions and possibly add
to the already present compaction problem, that consideration of this proposal
should be delayed Further, that if too much time becomes involved, could pos-
sibly make changes retroactive, and that the City ~dministrator is to bring in
the appropriate information--a proposed plan with a permanent solution to all
the problem areas, including compaction, as quickly as possible
