Rotolo Park is adjacent to Huron Street near the intersection of Stanford Avenue and is
considered a neighborhood park. In 2016, Englewood received a Standard Site Improvement
grant from ACOS to renovate the Rotolo Park Playground and construction on the playground is
scheduled for Spring 2017.
The Rotolo Park Shelter improvement project will enhance the future playground benefltting
the overall visitor experience. Rotolo Park is approximately 3¼ acres in size and in addition to
the future renovated playground, the park includes a multi*purpose athletic field, a backstop,
and on street parking. There is a slight rise on the northeast where the playground is located
and the southern park area is green open space providing passive and active outdoor recreation
opportunities.
The scope of this project includes installing a new 16' x 26' ADA compliant shelter adjacent to
and northwest of the playground; a 6' wide sidewalk connection to the entrance path; 2 picnic
tables and benches; one BBQ grill; and one trash receptacle. The goal will be to use recycled
steel products for the shelter, grill and trash receptacle. The useful life of these project
components are 25-30 years.
The households in this area are small bungalows (<1500 SF.) and residents are predominately
lower income. The children and families from this neighborhood will greatly benefit from
having a new shelter/picnic area to enhance this neighborhood and their park. Over the past
two years, the community requested a new, updated and safe playground which ACOS has
funded and is scheduled to be installed Spring 2017.
The proposed shelter project will enhance the playground by providing a shaded area from the
sun and a safe area during inclement weather. The intended result in installing a shelter is to
enhance all park visitors experience by providing a sheltered picnic area with a table seating,
and a grill, for all park patrons to use .
This funding request includes connecting the walkway from the playground to the proposed
shelter. All design components of the 6' wide walkway will include ADA elements. Please see
Part G; 6 for detailed site plans.
2. Describe the community/neighborhood and user groups the project will serve. Discuss the type
of users (children, adults, seniors, families, sports leagues, youth groups, etc.) the project will
serve and estimate the number of user groups annually that will benefit from the project. Be
specific. How did you arrive at this estimate? Describe the service area for this project (how far
will users travel to use the project site).
Rotolo Park is considered a neighborhood park and represents a historically lower income level
within Englewood. The houses in this neighborhood are small, single family bungalows
approximately 1000-1500 SF. Park users include families, children, seniors that might be
running, walking, playing, dog walking, relaxing, and simply enjoying being outdoors within an
urban environment. The majority of park visitors live within one-half mile walking distance of
the park. It is truly a neighborhood park.
The proposed project is directly adjacent to the future playground being built which will be
predominately visited by children ages 2 to 12 and their parents. We anticipate these visitors
will be primary users of the shelter. Additionally, seniors who live in the area appear to visit the
park alone or with their grandchildren to play on the playground. Based on current use, park
visitors use the park for passive and active recreation and fitness.
Today, you might see neighbors resting on the bench that overlooks the southern park open
space; walking their dogs to and from as well as within the park; children playing on the
playground; stretching and relaxing on the grass open space; and picnicking near the
playground. Once the shelter Is constructed, we anticipate park users of all ages sitting on the
benches, picnicking, reading a book in the shade, and grilling with friends, families and
neighbors.
There is a small grass field area that Is utilized by local sport groups. Englewood estimates 550+
annual players; 2-3 times per week for 24 weeks out of the year. In addition, based on
participant observation at a set period of time of day, duration and averages, approximately
400 monthly end users (siblings, family members, neighbors) that attend the sport events will
benefit from the shelter renovations.
Upon completion of the Rotolo Park Playground Renovations, we anticipate a significant
increase in park usership and these users will greatly benefit from the shelter improvements.
Current and future users of the shelter include walkers, strollers and runners due to the
enhanced connectivity with the addition of the adjacent sidewalk.
11
During the planning process, the City was approached by "Mommy and Me" type groups who
demonstrated a need for a renovated playground . These groups will benefit from year round
use by having a shelter to protect them from the Colorado summer and winter elements. They
will have a place to bring their children, socialize and use the picnic area year round.
3. Describe the planning process that identified this specific project as a priority. Is this project
listed as a priority in a master plan, site specific plan or other adopted planning document? If
so, discuss that plan. Describe the relationship of the project to any local, regional, state or
system-wide master plan. Give the name of each plan and list related element(s) within the
plan. Was this project identified through an independent community planning process?
Describe this process. Is this project a working group project? If so, was it prioritized? Is this
project a part of a larger project or phased project? If yes, explain the whole project, other
funding sources and partners involved.
The City's new 2017 Parks and Recreation Master Plan has a recurring theme to replace and
upgrade the outdated park and playground equipment throughout Englewood's park system.
Specifically, this plan recommends replacement and enhancements to playgrounds, shelters,
restrooms and prioritizes that all walkways, curbs and restrooms need to be ADA compliant.
{Page 38)
Throughout the years, Englewood has been achieving these recommendations by renovating
city-wide playgrounds located at the Northwest Greenbelt, Belleview Park, River Run Trailhead,
Duncan Park, and in 2017, Rotolo Park. This project would expand and solidify the commitment
to improving the quality of parks and playgrounds for our community.
Renovations of the park arose with the Input of the need for a new playground from the
surrounding neighbors representing families, seniors, original home owners, new residents, and
children of all ages. Neighbors contacted the City staff to pursue their desire to see the
playground rejuvenated with new playground equipment as well as future enhancements
(shelter}. The neighborhood was very vocal via phone calls and e-mails demonstrating their
desire to upgrade the park amenities and components.
The proposed shelter simply continues the commitment to meet the neighborhood and
community's park needs as well as adhering to the 2017 Parks and Recreation Master Plan's
priorities.
4. Discuss the need and urgency for this project and why it is a priority. What opportunities will be
lost if this project is not funded now?
The need and urgency for a new shelter and park improvements is significant. The park area
has not had any improvements in over 25 years. With the 2017 playground improvements, the
timing is perfect to continue completing park enhancements for this neighborhood park.
12
The proposed concrete sidewalk connection to the shelter will include the same dimensions,
materials and elements of the future playground project providing a more accessible
connection from the parking, to the playground, to the shelter. Extending the sidewalk as part
of the shelter project will provide consistent design and increase accessibility especially for
visitors with disabilities.
The future playground and proposed shelter will attract young families to this area as a needed
amenity for their children. Englewood is at a pivotal stage in enticing younger families to the
area as new housing is being developed in the City. This park and the proposed shelter will
provide parents with young children a safe, pleasant outdoor play experience.
Englewood is requesting funds to complete the shelter construction by August 2018 to meet
the community and the neighborhood needs. Strong community and agency support exists and
we do not want to lose the momentum for this project. We have received calls from the
neighborhood demonstrating their support to renovate this park/play area and the City of
Englewood's Parks and Recreation Commission Is fully supporting this project.
The City of Englewood has secured $13,200 in matching funds (21% of total project) for this
shelter. However, if this project is delayed, the City funds will likely be shifted to other projects
(Cushing, Miller, and Jason Parks) prioritized in the 2017 Master Plan. We do not want to miss
this opportunity; this would impact the neighboring communities by limiting their recreational
and outdoor needs.
There is always potential for development costs to rise so we would like to secure current costs.
This project is ready to go and our goal is to begin construction in May 2018 and complete the
project within five months.
The City will be installing a new community playground adjacent to this shelter site with ACOS
grant funds. It is important to continue investing funding and support into these low income
neighborhoods to maximize community resources.
5. Summarize any Investments made prior to submitting a grant proposal. Discuss pre-submittal
meetings, dates and outcomes. Be detailed and include eligible pre-planning costs on the match
section of the Detailed Expense Budget Form in Part E. (See application instructions for details.
Proof of pre-submittal planning expenses must be submitted as an attachment in Part G. All
attachments should be clearly labeled on the Table of Contents and on the Part G cover page.)
The City has hired a consultant from PKM Design Group, Inc. at a cost of $10,440. This group is
providing designs and estimated budgets for the installation of the shelter, walkway and
amenities. The City has a new 2017 and a past 2006 Parks and Recreation Master Plan that has
13
guided the process for park improvements. The 2017 Master Plan includes recommendations
to upgrade park amenities and ADA accessibility. (Page 38)
The City is not requesting the reimbursement of any planning costs that are already incurred.
We have initiated designs and budgets for this project with the goal of expediting the project if
ACOS funds are secured.
6. Describe how this project will be completed within the two year grant tlmeframe. Project
timeline must begin within 60 days of the award notification. ls design and engineering
complete or is there still work to be done? List any permits that will need to be obtained for
implementation of the project and existing status of obtaining those permits. {Federal 404,
County or City Planning or Public Works, Storm Water Drainage, etc). If permits are needed now
or in future phases, explain the process. Does the project necessitate a change in zoning?
Itemize anticipated costs for permits, government fees and consultants . Detail costs in the
correct Part E Budget Form. Correlate response with the Project Timeline in Part D. If your
project Is an acquisition, complete the Land Acquisition Narrative Section at the end of Section
F. Include detailed casts in Part E.
The City retained a consultant to design the shelter and adjacent walkway; that work is
currently being completed. The shelter project will need to be bid out as designated by the
City's policy and charter. This project requires a separate mobilization and grading contract
from the playground project.
Park improvements and the shelter will require a building permit from the City of Englewood
which will be secured by the construction contractor at a minimal cost (<$200). A review of the
Rotolo Park Shelter improvements will be scheduled for Englewood's Development Review
team. The ORT is comprised of City staff and from various departments for the purpose of
reviewing projects that occur within the City and provides recommendations based on impacts
to those departments and City Code Regulations. There are no zoning changes required for this
project.
The City will work closely with the contractor to complete the shelter which we anticipate will
take minimal time (3 months) to construct due to the small scale of the project.
7. Discuss any efforts to obtain publlc input, disseminate public information, develop partnerships,
develop partnerships for cash finding or in-kind contributions, and garner community support
specifically related to this project. Evidence of a transparent public process will be required.
Discuss any objections or opposition to this project and what was done to address concerns.
Include any letters, petitions, news articles, or other documents evidencing opposition .
In the fall of 2015, sign age was posted at the playground site to solicit public input on the
awarded playground project; the signage included a link to the City website. During that time,
14
there were no objections to the proposed playground improvements. The majority of feedback
relative to this park site has been through verbal and written communications directed to City
staff regarding the misuse of the park. The neighborhood Input has truly demonstrated full
support of improving this aged, decrepit park in the hopes of alleviating inappropriate activity
not conducive to the family friendly usership.
Please review support letters attached in Part G; 2.
8. How much of your planned cash match is secured? How much still needs to be raised and what
are your plans for raising additional funds? What ls your back up plan if you are unable to raise
those funds? Do you understand that all overruns are the responsibility of the
applicant/grantee? Describe the cash and in-kind partnerships established for this project. This
does not include partners who have contributed to previous phases or partners that plan to
contribute to future phases. Explain if partnerships were not possible or necessary for this
project. Include all partner support letters in Part G. Include match from all partners in the Part
E Budget. All support letters must be dated within the last six months to be eligible.
The cash match ($13,200) is fully secured for this project using ACOS Shareback funds. This
project will not need to raise funds to secure the match. Englewood fully understands all
overruns are the responsibility of the City. At this time, partnerships were not identified as a
need to complete this project.
9. Briefly discuss support from entities and user groups that are supporting the project in other
ways than cash or In-kind contributions. Support letters should come from users, working
groups, user groups, community members, volunteers, schools, etc. A maximum of five (5)
community support letters should be attached in Part G. All letters should be dated within the
last six months.
As discussed, residents from the surrounding neighborhood have expressed the need for a safer
and more user friendly community park. As escalating drug use, homeless use, and
inappropriate behavior became more prevalent, community residents and park users became
more concerned about the safety of their park for their friends, families and neighbors.
There have been requests for Code Enforcement and for a more visible police presence in the
area to monitor the park.
The community is very supportive of the future playground and the proposed shelter
improvements. Support letters attached in Part G.
10. Describe any scenic, historic or cultural values associated with this project. Will they be
preserved or restored? Describe specific natural resources at the site, including habitat and/or
water. List predominant wildlife species and vegetation on site. Discuss impacts to these
resources as a result of this project. If this Is a conservation easement acquisition project,
15
describe the conservation values and public benefits/value of the land, easement or water
resource.
There are no scenic, historic or cultural values within the shelter renovation project site. There
are no native ecosystems that will be impacted by this project.
The park shelter project will result in little or no impact to the natural resources in the area; no
mitigation is required. Predominant wildlife species include red fox squirrel, rabbit, skunk,
raccoon, red fox, coyote and various bird species typical in the urban/suburban setting.
11. Discuss the ownership and legal access to the proposed project site, Including right of access
without trespassing on adjacent property. Detail any third-party rights, easements or other
encumbrances that exist. Provide supporting documentation proving ownership, legal access or
permission from landowner and a site map in Part G.
The City of Englewood owns the property designated for the proposed project. During
construction, the crews will not need to access any other land/property owner for right of way.
All construction access will be on the City of Englewood's property. The project site is
maintained as open space/park land.
Please view Part G; 6. maps.
12. Describe long-term maintenance of the project site and components. Estimate the annual costs
to maintain the site, how those numbers were calculated, how you lntend to fund maintenance
and who is responsible for maintenance. Explain how maintaining this project site changes your
agency's maintenance budget. (Provide projected budget changes, detailed cost estimates, how
you plan to accommodate these changes, and explain how you arrived at those numbers.}
Provide a commitment letter from the management/maintenance agency addressing long-term
maintenance and include budgeting for funding maintenance in Part G.
The City of Englewood will manage the long term and complete maintenance of this park
shelter project including litter control and vandalism repairs. Since this project is for new
construction, there will be minimal maintenance.
If this project is funded, the maintenance budget for Rotolo Park will be increased to fund the
litter control and vandalism repairs needed. The City of Englewood has demonstrated their
stewardship of the parks, playgrounds and open spaces throughout the years. We will continue
to follow the high quality maintenance currently provided with this project.
The primary maintenance needs for this project will include trash removal, shelter cleaning and
graffiti removal.
16
13. Describe how thls project addresses lnclusivity per the Americans wlth Disablllties Act
guidelines.
The park shelter improvements include designs to fully comply with current ADA guidelines.
The shelter will include ADA accessible bench/seating accessibility and path way/trail; the curb
ramps will also meet the ADA standards. The City is dedicated to the commitment of making
the shelter and playground accessible for all patrons and follows ADA requirements as
mandated by law.
14. If successful in obtaining this grant, how will the agency use this project to Inform citizens about
the value of the Arapahoe County Open Space sales and use tax? Address the public outreach
plan, signage plan, celebration, dedication, etc. Please write a brief press release statement.
Explain how the County will be recognized and informed that materials, articles and ceremonies
have/are taking place. This Information Is required to include County acknowledgement and
should be relayed to the County Grants Program Administrator for review and filing.
The City of Englewood will partner with Arapahoe County on all media releases, articles and
stories relevant to the Rotolo Park Shelter improvements. The use of ACOS sales tax dollars
supporting the shelter project will also be Included in the Englewood Herald newspaper and
additional local community publications. Information will also be disseminated via the City's
web site and in the Englewood Citizen newsletter, which the City distributes to all Englewood
households. An Arapahoe County Open Space sign will be installed on the site upon project
completion. County Commissioners and OSTAB Board Members will be Invited to visit upon
request.
Through prior trail and park openings, ribbon cuttings, and volunteer events, Englewood has
demonstrated their support of ACOS programs to the community. We have installed public
recognition signs throughout the City's parks, trails, and open spaces demonstrating our
support of ACOS.

RECREATION COMMISSION
On behalf of the City of Englewood's Parks and Recreation Commission, I am writing this letter In support
of the City of Englewood's application for the proposed Rotolo Park shelter project.
One of the roles of the Englewood Parks and Recreation Commission is to review proposed recreation
facilities and programs and make recommendations to Englewood City Council in a comprehensive
fashion. The Commission guides policy in the development of a Parks and Recreation Master Plan, an
inventory of au of our existing facilities and programs and includes an assessment of equipment and
facilities that need to be added, modified or replaced .
The City's 2006 Master Plan has a recurring theme to replace and upgrade the outdated park and
playground equipment throughout Englewood's park system. The 2017 Master Plan continues with this
recurring theme. Two years ago, the Rotolo Park community requested a new, updated and safe
playground which ACOS funded and will be installed spring 2017. This shelter project will enhance the
new playground by providing a safe, shaded area for playground users and help to bring together the
community in a safe and active play area.
The Englewood Parks and Recreation Commission enthusiastically supports the Rotolo Park Shelter
project and hopes that Arapahoe County Open Space will do the same and support the funding for the
project.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
..

Dear Advisory Board,
As a park user and neighbor of Rorolo Park, I fully support the proposed Rotolo Park Shelter
project. The new shelter and picnic amenities will provide a much needed shaded and covered area
for all park users including myself, my wife and my grandchildren. With the new playground being
completed this spring, a new shelter directly adjacent will truly benefit our neighbors, family and
friends who visit the park.
We visit the park regularly to walk, relax, and my grandchildren play there; we value it's outdoor
features. The park and playground provides a great opportunity to get outside right in our own
backyard. This park provides a green open space and with the renovated playground, will benefit
the local community and adjacent neighborhoods. We're very excited to see the proposed
enhancements!
We hope the Arapahoe County Open Space Program will consider funding the Rotolo Park Shelter
project in the City of Englewood. The project would significantly benefit our community and park
visitors for years to come.

Dear Advisory Bonrd;
J am writing this letter in support of the Rotolo Park sheller projecl. lam an Englewood resident that
uses Rotolo Park on a daily basis. When I was approached about writing a letter of support for n new
shelter, I was thrilled to hear that the City is wanting to make improvements at our neighborhood park.
The proposed shelter and amenities will benefit all park. users. I was aware that the City received a grant
for a new playground which was desperately needed. My children gre\v up playing at Rotolo Park. We,
along with the neighbors, appreciated having a neighborhood park where we could take the children to
play. I now continue to visit the park on my daily walks where I have met wonderful friends, families
and neighbors that I would not have met otherwise.
Currently the onJy shade provided at the park is an old picnic table that is minimally covered. The new
shelter wiJI provide much needed shade during the summer months and a space for families to have a
picnic or ~eighbors to gather to watch children on the playground.
I hope Arapahoe County Open Space will consider funding the Rotolo Park Shelter grant. The project
,vould benefit the neighbors, families and friends for years to come.

Dear Advisory Board;
I am writing to express my wholehearted support for the City of Englewood's grant
application to fund improvements in Rotolo Park. My husband and I live around the
corner from Rotolo Park where we have raised our two daughters. We now have
grandchildren and are excited for the improvements being planned for the Park. We
frequently visit the park with our granddaughter and on our walks with the dog. The
proposed sidewalk will make a world of difference for those of us with baby strollers in
accessing the new playground area; and those with limited mobility. Community groups
and families will appreciate being able to meet in a new, enlarged shelter instead of
squeezing around the old picnic table. These improvements will make Rotolo Park the
pride of the neighborhood for years to come.
This park is an important part of why so many people are proud to call this neighborhood
their home. We will all look forward to enjoying these long-overdue improvements.
Thank you so much for supporting this valuable project.
Yours Sincerely,
Linda Trujillo

REVAMP OUR PARKS
As the number of residents in the community and interest in an active lifestyle increase, the immediate priority is to improve
the existing parks so that they can withstand additional use pressures , Many of Englewood's older parks need upgrades
or enhancements to meet current recreational and aesthetic needs and trends, and increase resident's satisfaction levels.
This will be key at popular parks such as Cushing, Miller, Belleview, Jason, Centennial, Romans, and Rotolo.
Most of the facil ity replacements and upgrades recommended in the 2006 Plan remain top priorities. System-wide
enhancements at most parks should include:
1. Playground upgrades, shelters, restrooms, and open space and natural areas (where not already completed).
2. ADA compliant walkways, curbs, and restrooms.
3. Replacement of diseased/dying and previously removed shade trees and ornamental plantings. Street trees along
park frontages are especially needed.
4. Application of Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) principles, which wilt help improve public
safety.
5. Completion of irrigation system upgrades. The current irrigation system is more than 50 years old and is becoming a
major maintenance burden with continuous repa i rs needed. Additionally, the system is highly inefficient in its water
use compared to the technology available today. Replacing irrigation throughout the entire park system is a highly
expensive undertaking, but one that should be anticipated in a capital replacement program. At the current time,
the Parks Department is in the process of replacing valves and heads for irrigation in all parks.
6. Mobility improvements are needed to ensure that access is equitable and good connectivity to parks is provided.
The City should complete sidewalk gaps and improve crosswalks and on-street bike lanes and curb cuts within 500
feet of every park. Some parks, like Barde and Baker Parks, have no crosswalks or pedestrian safety improvements
in the surrounding neighborhood.
The top three priorities for major park redesigns include Cush ing, Milter, and Jason Parks, because of the parks needs and
greatest appeal to the community. All major park renovations will undergo additional design and feasibility studies beyond
this Master Plan and will need to include additional public input opportunities.
