PUBLIC HEARINGS
The Clerk stated the first public hearing was to consider the approval of the issuance by
the Colorado Health Facilities Authority of its Health Care Facilities Revenue Bonds
(American Baptist Homes of the Midwest Obligated Group), Series 2009A and Series
2009B (the “Bonds”). The bonds in the approximate amount of $27,500,000 will be
used at the Tudor Oaks Retirement Community located at S77 W12929 McShane
Drive, Muskego.
Mr. Chuck Lamson was present on behalf of the Tudor Oaks facility. He stated that the
financing was necessary for a proposed improvement project at the facility. Mr. Lamson
stated a similar project was planned in 2008, but was set aside because of poor
economic conditions. The total dollar amount is slightly higher than in 2008. No one
requested to speak regarding this matter. The Mayor declared the hearing closed.
The Clerk stated the second public hearing was to consider amendments to Chapter 14
(Floodplain Zoning Ordinance) and Chapter 17 (Zoning Ordinance). The proposed
amendments relate to various zoning code and floodplain zoning code sections
requiring clarification and updates, as well as new floodplain storage district maps and
floodplain storage ordinance requirements.
The Mayor encouraged anyone listening to the meeting who could not attend because
of the weather to contact his/her alderperson or the Community Development
Department. He stated that one of the proposed amendments to Chapter 14 is to adopt
and reference a Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) issued by FEMA. The LOMR corrects
an area of the floodplain that was incorrectly mapped. The second proposed
amendment is to adopt the new floodplain storage district maps and code language.
Mayor Johnson stated that the proposed amendments to Chapter 17 are an
accumulation of areas that require clarification or updates. No one requested to speak;
the Mayor declared the hearing closed.
