A RESOLUTION OPPOSING THE ISSUANCE OF A CERTIFICATE OF
·oE SIGNATI ON FROM THE ARAPAHOE COUNTY BOARD OF COUNTY COM-
MISSIONERS FOR THE PROPOSED INSTALLATION OF THE AUTOMOBILE
SHREDDING OPERATION IN ARAPAHOE COUNTY ON A SITE SOUTH
OF WEST OXFORD AVENUE AND EAST OF THE SOUTH PLATTE RIVER.
WHEREAS, the City is constructing a golf course
and club house along the South Platte River directly across
West Oxford Avenue from the proposed site of the automobile
shredder, and said project represents a total public invest-
ment in excess of $3,000,0001 and
WHEREAS, the automobile shredder is not compatible
with the golf course due to the traffic problems that will
be created along West Oxford Avenue, South Santa Fe Drive
and South Federal Boulevard with trucks hauling junk cars
to the shredder site, the appearance of West Oxford Avenue
being deteriorated by the after hours and weekend dumping
of junk automobiles outside of the shredder site along West
Oxford, the unesthetic view created by the junk cars piled
up, and the shredder facility itself, and the significant
noise levels that will be produced which are detrimental
to the full enjoyment of the recreational use of the golf
course1 and
WHEREAS, the automobile shredder is a major invest-
ment that will have a significant impact on the future use
of the land along the South Platte River by encouraging
similar type uses and discouraging any effort to reclaim
the former beauty of the South Platte River, as well as
severely damaging long range plans for the development of
a River Greenway System1 and
WHEREAS, Denver Metals has not demonstrated an
adequate fire fighting capability.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF ENGLEWOOD, COLORADO, as follows:
