(e) Wfth regard to C111111cil Bill No. 13.2 approving easeaents with Glen•
view, Ltd., Council Me•ber Habenicht expressed concern on behalf of the res1•
dents adjacent to the Industrial area. She advised she had 1111t with staff and
the residents to explore options to the penunent easlftlent. She mentioned the
no i se which Is experienced by the residents in this area and requested staff's
ass i stance in explaining to Council what had taken place.
City Manager Fraser suniarlzed the situation, explaining that the residents
ha ve expressed concern about the noise they may experien ce due to the align-
ment of the proposed Navajo thoroughfare that would serve as a frontage road
when Santa Fe Is closed. These residents are not asking that the Navajo proj-
ect be abandoned , but that t he right -of-way wh i ch adjoins the Fr ont Range
Beverage property on the west not be gi ven up so that the City can maintain
the option to construct Windel'fflere as a part of an alternate frontage r oad
alignment if at some point in time City Council chooses to do that. Mr .
Fraser expla ined that Council Bi l l No. 13.2, if approved , would allow a por-
tion of t hat property to go to Front Range Beverage with the City maintaining
easements over part of It . Further , that if the City ev er chose to pursue a
Windermere al i gn ment in the f uture, it would mean that the property would have
to ,be condemned .
Counci l Membe r Habenich t s tressed that the Ci ty should be willing to look al
all alternat i es which would alleviate the concerns of t he resident s adjacent
to the i ndustri al area, and she su ggested postponing immedi ate action to pro -
vide that ti e .

Council Member Gulley expressed conce ',1 about granting a permanent easement to
propert :· that the City may wis h to uti li ze in the future.
Counci l Member Hathaway stated that as the residents are basically concerned
about the noise tit r e should be other way s to mitigate the s ttuat i on. She
pointed out, s inc~ •·he :;::1 se generates from Santa Fe, that the grant! ng of
this easement sh ou 1-'. i"lot be affected. She suggested othH ways to alleviate
the noise concern~.
Council Member Haben i cht reiterated the residents' concerns about the current
noise they experience and the poss ibl e amplification of noise wh ich may result
from the Navajo alignment. She informed Council that the residents are anx -
ious that the City retain the option of a Windermere alignment. Council Mem-
ber Hathaway s tl'e ssed that th1 s easement does not preci pt tate the poss 1b11 ity
of a Windermere alignment at a later L,te.
