RESOLUTION NO. ~7
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 THE PURPOSE OF GRAVEL EXTRACTION AT THE SHEEP
MOUNTAIN QUARRY
WHEREAS, City Council of the City of Wheat Ridge
submitted Resolution 1264 to the Jefferson County Planning
Commission with a recommendation for denial of the proposal to
operate the Sheep Mountain Quarry near Golden; and
WHEREAS, the request for permit to operate the Sheep
Mountain Quarry has been submitted to the Jefferson County Board
of County Commissioners for approval; 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 traffic 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
Board of County Commissioners to deny the rezoning for the Sheep
Mountain Quarry.
DONE AND RESOLVED this 9th
day of December, 1991.
