The Board considered this matter at its October 10, 1977, meeting. The attached report summarizes the review process. Both the Planning and Zoning Board and Planning staff feel that the City requirements for side- walks on both sides of the streets in industrial developments should be maintained. Arguments in support of this position focus on the need for pedestrian access to commercial, industrial, and restaurant facilities 2� INEt ,r isd:asao'• November 1, 1977 located in the industrial park, and the fact the sidewalks increase safety.

These recommenda- tions were then presented to the full Board and public hearings were con- ducted. The changes in Section 2 of the attached ordinance are the result of this procedure. In adopting a Code by reference, the official hearing is the second reading, and the first reading merely starts the process. The second reading of this ordinance is scheduled for December 6, 1977."

The City has recently received a request from the owner of Mr. Pawn Shop to have this provision changed by the Council so that he may operate his business during approximately the same hours and on the same days as other downtown businesses.

Following is the City Manager's memorandum on this item: This is the final annexation in a series of annexations along Harmony Road. Primarily this annexation consists of the Hewlett Packard site. In addition to the HP site, this annexation includes that portion of Harmony Road which adjoins the HP site which was not previously annexed and a strip of land approximately 300 feet in depth adjoining Harmony Road and lying between the HP site and the Harmony Mobile Home Park. This latter strip is owned by Spring Creek Farms, Inc., and is a portion of the Spring Creek Farms property. At the time the Planning and Zoning Board reviewed this annexation, the Spring Creek Farms property was not included. One comment made by members of the Planning and Zoning Board questioned the desirability of connecting these annexations only through the use of Harmony Road. The addition of this tract of land to this annexation appears to answer this concern expressed by the Board. The zoning of the lands which comprise this annexation will ' be scheduled for the next Council meeting. The proposal will be to zone the HP site in the I-L District and the Spring Creek Farms property in the T-Transition District. In connection with the Spring Creek Farms property, the Council previously indicated an acceptance of that property owner's request that special assessment districts for the purpose of providing improvements normally associated with development of the land not'levy any assessments against this land until development of the property takes place. We anticipate we will have a proposed contract to accomplish this to present to the Council'at the next Council meeting before final reading of this annexation ordinance.11 Councilman Wilkinson made a motion, seconded by Councilman St. Croix to adopt Ordinance No. 132, 1977 on first reading.

On August 8, 1977, the Planning and Zoning Board recommended approval subject to several conditions. These conditions included access to a neighborhood park, elimination of the Worthington Street -Swallow Road intersection, the location of utility lines, and local access to Worthington Farm. Since that time, the applicant has addressed the conditions of the Planning and Zoning Hoard. Only minor technical problaas with the dimensions of utility lines remain and they can be addressed on the Final Plat for the site." Councilmembers expressed concerns for increased traffic on Shields Street, the dead -ending of Swallow Road at the railroad tracks, the absence of neighborhood parks in this area, and the school impact which would indicate this development would overload the elementary school. Councilman St. Croix made a motion, seconded by Councilwoman Gray to table the Woodwest Subdivision Revised Preliminary Plat on the grounds that the community would be better served by having,adequate neighborhood parks. Councilman Bowling stated if Council took this stance, then Council should examine its entire park policy. Councilman Suinn asked for clarification of the intent of the pending motion and Councilwoman Gray spoke to the. "mini ghettos" caused by traffic patterns. Mr. Rick Mattingly of M $ I Engineering, representing Wood Brothers, stated he could not speak for the developers but he did not think they would be receptive as this plan had been in the mill since 1971. City Manager Arnold stated he had met earlier with Parks and Recreation Director, H. R. Phillips and had been favorable impressed with the proposed park development. He suggested the Administration put together a presentation to be made at a work session on the entire parks program. Councilman St. Croix stated that on this basis, he would withdraw his motion given establish- ment of a place on the agenda to define the park policy. The seconder of the motion consented to withdraw. Councilman Wilkinson made a motion, seconded by Councilman Bowling to approve ' the Woodwest Subdivision Revised Preliminary Plat. Yeas: Bloom, Bowling, Gray, St. Croix and Wilkinson. Nays: Russell and Suinn. THE MOTION CARRIED %Ar 2.(,'?

Mayor Bloom presented a plaque to Officer James Kyle for 50,000 accident - free miles. Mr. Vince Dechard, 1918 Hampshire Road and Mr. Ron Carlson, 2266 West Stuart Street addressed the City Council regarding the Dog Ordinance, dog enforcement, recent dog attack on a child, and the height of fences. Their specific request was for a thorough review of the dog enforcement ordinance and broaden then to include no breeding within the City, immediate picking up of a dog as a result of an attack, and owner fencing which would prohibit a dog from jumping over the fence. Mayor Bloom referred this item to City Manager Arnold and City Attorney March, who stated they would like to discuss this matter with the parties concerned, as there appears to be some misunderstanding about the ordinance, the budgetary enforcement problem, the trespassing on private property, and kennel regulations. ' Mr. Andy Anderson, 1421 Skyline Drive requested information regarding costs for any Special Election. He then inquired into the transfer of funds from the Lincoln Community Center into the Seven Year Capital Improvements Fund. Mayor Bloom stated that Mr. Anderson's questions will be answered by letter. Councilman Bowling requested the Administration and legal staff look into the discussions with the Railroad concerning the possible extension of Swallow Road. Collindale P.U.D., First Filing, Preliminary Plan, approved. Following is the City Manager's memorandum and recommendations on this item: it This is the Preliminary Plan of the first phase of collindale P.U.D. It is based on the conceptual master plan for all of Collindale recently reviewed by the City Council. The first phase entails 71 single-family lots at the west end of the site on the northeast corner of Horsetooth and lemay. The attached memo from the Planning Department discusses the questions raised by this proposal. The two most important of these questions concern whether ' "Pepperwood lane" should end in a cul-de-sac or be continued through the sub- division,and the maintenance of the landscape treatment along the arterial streets. � d i C; -i ,t is:G. =•ro" November 1, 1977 >eoammndation: The Administration recanrends approval subject to the following co bons 1. That Peppenuood lane be oontinued as a 36-foot wide local street from Southmoor Village Fast through the patio -hare area of Collindale and connect with the interior loop street of the first phase. 2. A low maintenance drought tolerant landscape treatment along the arterial streets be provided by the developer and maintained by the homeowners' association. The City should investigate providing a temporary water tap (without charging the Plant Investment Fee) for irrigation until this land- scaping is established. 3. That sidewalks be provided along both sides of all streets including around the ends of cul-de-sacs. 4. That the City install part of the bikeway connecting this proposal with the future elementary school to the east. 5. That the interior loop street be named Mansfield Drive. 6. other technical staff ccmTents: a.

That the viability of 90-foot right of way for 80-foot cul-de-sac turnarounds be verified." Planner II Paul Deibel spoke to the six points which had been recommended as conditions for approval. Mayor Bloom inquired if the developer wished to address Item No. 1 at this time. Mr. Bernie Cain representing the developer, spoke to the developer's desire to have this street (Pepperwood Lane) end in a cul-de-sac, to keep this street as a local street rather than a collector street. Council then considered the next four items (listed in recommendations) at length with Mr. Cain commenting on each. Council considered also the fencing separating subdivision developments from the major streets and the maintenance of these areas. Mr. Cain stated that some of these rights -of -way have not been maintained and have created eye -sores. Councilman Bowling requested City Manager Arnold look into the maintenance of City rights -of -way, specifically on Drake Road where the City has only cut the weeds twice in a two year period. Council considered establishing a policy regarding water taps and plant investment fees for these kinds of developments. 25. 2L 9, .

A special meeting has been called to review the Bill Vigor request for outside utility service and/or annexation. Councilman Russell reported on the Platte River Power Authority Board meeting and the Rawhide Hearing and designation. Councilman Bowling reported on the advertising for a new Council of Govern- ments Director and on the Board consideration regarding 701 Planning Funds. Consent Agenda Procedure Following is the City Manager's memorandum on this item: I A number of items appearing on the Council agenda are routine in nature, i.e. they were discussed at a previous meeting or they require no discussion before Council action. A number of municipalities throughout the country and state utilize a consent agenda procedure for these types of items. Attached are procedures from Colorado Springs regarding the consent agenda as well as a report by the International Institute of Municipal Clerks on the concept. The major benefit of a consent agenda procedure is that it frees additional time for Council to consider important policy matters during a meeting. That. Tuesday's agenda illustrates the usefulness of a consent agenda format. An example was prepared which shows that Council could consider second readings of ordinances, routine resolutions and reports, and other miscellaneous actions under the consent agenda format. Also note that prior to approving items on the consent agenda, any Council member can request removal of the item from the consent portion and have the item placed on the regular review section which allows for discussion. We would like Council approval to prepare the ordinances which would allow Council to utilize the consent agenda procedure. we can have these revisions made so that the second Council meeting in Decenber can be conducted using this I concept. Our goals in preparing this change are to eliminate redundant discussion of routine items, free time for Council consideration of more in mrtant policy issues, and reduce the length of Council meetings.,, 2" z 7z CC2f ,i ssdres rid November 1, 1977 ' Councilmembers asked specific questions regarding the procedure of having anyone, (Councilmember, staff or citizen) request that an item be with- drawn from the consent agenda and in the main, concurred with the concept. Councilman Suinn stated he would not like to see the following items on the consent agenda: 1. A requirement that the Council vote to withdraw an item from the consent agenda - rather that they be withdrawn on a single request basis. 2. Approval of final tract maps, approval of annexations or approval of unanimous recommendations of advisory committees. He also would like to continue to have the background materials supplied. Councilmembers directed the Administration to proceed in initiating this process. Change Order on Downtown Redevelopment Project, approved.

THE MOTION CARRIED Administration Authorized to Make up Deficit in Special Improvement District from Capital ' Improvement Funds. 2= .273 November 1 1977 "The major area requiring Council input concerns the Special Improvement Dis- trict. %%been originally developed last year, the Special Inprcvenent District Budget was programmmmed at $1,000,000. This expenditure plan was to be financed by $700,OOO in special improvement bond proceeds and $300,000 in City funds. Of the $300,000 in City funds, $166,000 is programmed in the capital improve- ment fund with the remaining $134,000 anticipated from Community Development Fbnds. During our preparation and submission of the 1978 Community Development Program, $200,000 was provided for downtown parking but no additional funds were available for the Special Improvement District Beautification Budget. As shown in the attachment, we are projecting expenditures of $1,011,690 for the completion of this program. Thus, we are facing a shortage of $145,690 in revenues to cover expenditures. Recovery of a substantial amount from the bonding company for the original con- crete contractor is anticipated. Such recovery should partially cover the anticipated deficit. Also, there may be other similar recoveries from this project. Reconuendation: It is recommended that Council authorize the Administration to make up any deficit in the Special Improvement District of $145,690 from the Capital Improvement Fund with the understanding that any funds advanced froam the Capital Improvement EAnd will be repaid to the extent recovered from the bonding company or similar services." Councilman Bowling made a motion, seconded by Councilman Wilkinson that ' Council authorize the Administration to make up any deficit in the Special Improvement District, up to, $145,690 from the Capital Improvement Fund with the understanding that any funds advanced from the Capital Improvement Fund will be repaid to the extent recovered from the bonding company or similar services.
