except for the eastern half of northern boundary of Parcel 02. The proposed PUD complies
with the standard bulk plane on the eastern half ol northern boundary of Pared 01 but
P.xc:i11dl'!s the remainder of the side k11· line, frorn :he bulk plane req11ir eme111 .
Parking: The proposed Flood Middle School PUD will follow the parking regulations
outlined in 16-6-4 of lhe Unified Development Code (UDC). These requirements arc 1.5
spaces for each studio, 1 bedroom, or 2 bedroom unit; and 2 spaces for each 3 bedroom
unit; plus 1 suest space for every 5 units. With the cur:enl unit mix, thi, would amount lo
approximately 604 required parking spaces. The majority 'lf these spaces would bl! irr the
parking structure wrapped by the apartment building. Bicycle parking will be required at a
rate of one bicycle space for every two units .
Traffic A traffic impact study was performed for the proposed Flood Middle School PUD.
I he traffic study shows an increase in overnll traffic volume; however, the development can
be accommodated by the existing study area roadways and intersections without
mocification and without creating significant impacts to the study area through 2030. The
lruffic impact study was reviewed by the Public Works Traffic Division and COOT who both
concu·:·ed with its iindings.
Signagc: The propc:·sed PUD will follow the signage regulations outlined in 16-6-13 of the
UDC as amended except that the PUD would permit the maximum height a projecting sign
to be 50 feet high rather than the UDC's maximum height limit of 25 feet.
6
Landscaping: The UDC requ ires that a minimum of 2 5% of the properly be landscaren for
multi-unit dwellings in the R-2-B and MU-R-3-B zone districts and 20% in the MU-B-1 zone
district. The Flood Middle School PUD proposes a minimum of 15% of the proper'.)' be
landscaped. Additionally, the UDC requires that a minimum of 70% of the required
landscape be "living" landscape. The Flood Middle School PUD proposes that a minimum
of 50% of the landscape be "living". This is due in part to the urban nature of the project
that may include sc1 t:cialty paving, plazas, w ater feat~res, etc. as "non-living" landscape. The
PUD will meet the requirements of the UDC in terms of plant q~antities and sizes;
additionally, 50% of the required trees must be located between the building and street
which will result in street trees for the project.
Screening and Fencing: The PUD proposes an 8 foot high fence/wall between the
apartment building and existing residential uses at the northern boundary of Parcel 02 . The
fence/wall must be con sistent with the overall building design. All other screening or
fencing must comply with the requirements of the UDC.
Drainage: The proposed Drainage Plan and Pr elimin ary Drainage Reporl were reviewed
and approved by the City's Public Works Department.
City Ditch: T~e existing City D itch runs through Parcel 01 and the northeast corner of
Parc el 02 . The proposed developmf'nl will rP1111irP thf> relor~tion o' thP ri:y Oitcc h ~nd the
dedication of associated easements by separate document.
Park Dedication: The subdiv isio,i regulations of the UDC require the dedication of park
land or payment of a fee in lieu of dedication for all residential developments. The UDC
provides a method for determining the arr.ount of land to be dedicated based on the
number of units and the number of new residents that w ill be generated. Based on a
maximum of 350 multi-unit dwellings, the proposed Flood Middle School PUD would
require a park dedication of 6.74 acres of land or payment of a fee in lieu of land
dedication .
On September 4, 2012 City Council adopted a fee to be \>aid in lieu oi dedication amount
of $20,000 per required acre. Credit towards the dedication requirements for recreational
amenit :es provided on -,il v by the developer and waivers of all or a portion of the rcmilining
(PP-in-lieu may be req w~Hed. Requests Jre considered on a case-by-case basis at the
discretion of Council. Ci w 11cil will be consid~ring the final fee-in-lieu of dedication amount
concurre11tly ur shurtly gltt!r approval of tl1,c, PUD. Thi! applicant has requl!steu a11d Cuu11dl
has preliminariiy agreed to a fee of $57,780 based on a development containing 300 units .
The City has received comrients from citizens requesting that the existing green space on
Parcel 02 be preserved as a park rather than be developed. The Flooc Middle School
property is owned by the Englewood School District and is not a City of Englewood
dedicated park. The citizen comments and replies from the Mayor and Mayor Pro Tern are
attached as Exhibits I-L. The Pdrk Mdsle1 Pla n uoes not recognize this area as being
underserved or unserved, and no recommendations were made for developing a park at
this location. The Park Master Plan also notes that the acquisition of new park land must be
balanced with park development costs and ongoing maintenance c:osts . Since the M ,1,le1
Plan was adopted, the City has decided to invest in enhancing and improving access lo
<?xistirg park<.
rhasing: The initial d emolition ~f the exist ing sc hool d1~1noli1io11 ;md e11viro11me111,1I
remediation will take approximately 3 months . This will be follow ed by approxim.otel y 22
month< of n~w co11 slrnrlion for thP. ;opa rt melll' h11ildi11g;.

RE : Flood Middle School PUD, ZON2012-003
TCHD Case No . 2732
Dear Mr. Bell:
[Xl'IIUIT E
Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on the proposed Planned Unit
Development (PUD) application for the Flood Middle SchoJI site for the development of
350 units of multifamily ho11sing al 3695 South Lincoln Street Tri-County Health
Department (TCHD) staff has reviowed the application for compliance with applicable
environmental health regulations and potential recommendations lo: site improvements
to e11coun:1ye oppo, tu11ilies for healthy cornruu11ily 1.hisiy11.
Healthy Community Design and Connectivity
Because chronic c.iseases related to physical inactivity and obesity now rank amon~ the
country's greate'st public health risks, TCHD encourages community designs that make
it easy for people to,nclude regular physical activity . such as walking and bicycling , in
their daily routines. At ,he project site level. TCHD encourage~ appl 1conts to incorporate
a well-connected system of pathways for pedestrians and bicyclists that support the use
of a broader pedestrian and bicycle network off of the site .
The applicant's proposed minimum sidewalk width requirement of five feet found under
PUD District Plan Development Standards is a great start to provide adequate space for
more than one person to pass at one time . TCHD encourages the applicant to include
more requirements to ensure an on -site system of good connectivity . While TCHD
recognizes that the actual site design will be evaluated with a tater land .development
application fur the site plan rnview, ii is essential to consider PUD requirements that
foster a wal~abte design that incorporates direct co;inections to the broader circulation
network . You may want to consider requiremer,ts :·.:ir internal circulation that maximize
direct pedestrian and ',icycle connections from res,oential buildings to adjacent public
streets, nearby parks and trail system and transit stops .
The design and orientation of buildings can encourage residents' use of sidewalks along
streets improving the safety on the street by bringing more people to observe aclivilies .
The bulk standards listed under PUD District Plan Development Standards begin to
articulate the building presence along the street. You may want to consider adding
development standards that articulate the preferred location for entrances oriented
toward !he streets

A common barrier to good circulation is the overuse of fences on multifamily
developments. TCHD recommends that you add standards to the PUD to clarify the
intent for the use of fencing on the property. It might be helpful to limit the use of fences
along the street and along internal pedestrian sidewalks.
The Conceptual Landscape Plan includes street sections . However, there are not
standards in the PUD standards . It is unclear if the streetscape slandards are governed
by the PUD standards or if they are determined by another regulatory document. TCHD
supports the detached sidewalk design show on the conceptual plan with a minimum of
five -foot wide sidewalks .
Lastly, the setback standards included under PUD District Plan Development Standards
are not clear as to whether the setbacks are intended as minimum setback or maximum
setback standards.
Healthy Community Design and Bicycle Amenities
As mentioned earlier in this le tter, TCHD supports community design that makes it easy
for residents to walk or use their bicycles . TCHD encourages yo~ to add PUD
Development Standards for bicycle facilities including bike parking for visitors and
residents. While bicycle storage for residents could be accommodated internal to the
building , it is important lo include bicycle parking facilities that are easily accessible to
visitors.
Sun Safety for Outd.:ior Common and Gathering Areas
Skin cancer is the most common cancer in the United States. Colorado has the 5 1h
highest death rale from melanoma, the most deadly form of skin cancer. A leading risk
factor for skin cancer is exposure to ultraviolet rays (UV) from the sun . Seeking shade
when outsiae is one of the best ways to prevent overexposure to UV rays. TCHD
recommends the use of shade in common areas like cou11yards, µatios and play areas
through the planting of trees or physical shade structures . It is important that shade
structures or appropriate landscaping is considered early in the desig~ process so that it
is incorporated well into the overall site plan and optimizes the opportunity for residents
and visitors '.o shk id themselves from the sun and reduce their risk of skin cancer.
Please feel free to contact me at (720) 200-1571 c.rslynch@tchd .org if you have any
questions on TCHD 's comments.

Dear Mr . Bell,
Per our conversation earlier this wee\< this is to confirm that Public Se1vice Company

between Lots 10 -3G, Blocl< 2, Higgins Broadway Addition subdivision, We will

we will be able tn work with . Although all ease:nent and existing facility issues have not
been complete resolved we are confident that we will be able to work directly with the
developer to resol•1e ·any PSCo util ity issue .
PSCo is supportive of the re-platting and general development plans that have been
present to us by the City and the developer . We would have no objection :o their
approval by the City of Englewood.

The flood property has never been designated at c1 park, but ln the pust w~ti utilized by many citizen$ as a

Hell o Englewood City Counc rl Memb ers and Mayor Penn,
My name Is casey Hannen and I live at the corner of Sherman and Mdnsfie ld, with in walking distance of the old
Mary L. Flood middle school and adJacent open S~dce. I'm concerned about the redevelopment plans proposecl
by Barbuiy Holdings for a number of reasons -however, my bi~g est concern is that tllis community will lose an
important neighborhood park and recreation area .
Useable o, rks and open space are important for any community, and in this case Mary L. Flood park is essent ial!
, he only par k available to our n~ig hborhood . Th e ·;osanna Athletic Complex Is In use by team sports the majorit,
,,i the time , the Little Ciy Creek area ,s narrow and sloped , and Miller :'ield is not suitable walking distence across
3roac1way . I see children playing in the park on a dally basis • if the park was to be redeveloped into ;;partments ,
what other options would they have for recreation?
The re are too many ~eople in this area who enjoy Mary L. Flood par k -please consider this whe~ working with
the developers on future plans for our neighborhood . I'm not opposed to redevelopment of the area , but I
believe that It's pr imary function as a commun ity gathering place sh ou ld be kept Intact.

I am wrilmg Iv ask you to prcscrv ~ the a1hlctic field s m th e former fl oo d Middl e School site as a future park
si te. There is ,,ircad1• n shorta\:e o f parks and open sp:ice in Englewood and allowing public propc nv to be

To he clear , I support the rcdcvc lopmc111 of the school sit e. I nm not opposed to hav in g a l~:·ge apartment
complex repla~c th <.: Flood Middle School building , assuming traffic and other concerns can be dealt with. But I
..:annot under u11y circurnstance suppoIt developing another large i.1p"Jtrucnt compk:x on the only rem~1ining
npcn spa ce in our neighborhood. The city has do cumented a need tor park land in thi s area and if wc a!low this
site \o he developed th ere will not be another o pp ortunit y to address this need .
I strongly h~lie vc that preserving this space. will benefit dowl'town Englewood far more \han one more
apartment huilding. There arc many la rge complexes already in the area and there will u:1t.loubtcdly be many
more developed . Where arc !he children living in these complexes going to p'a y'! Where can people throw a ball
around ? If we wanl fo1~1ilies in our ncighborhoorl\ we need tu make s_paces for families to \!lljoy. I don't think
we should all have to drive tu Belleview Park ot .larvard Gukhjust to enjoy the outdoors. lfEnglcwood is to
bec ome a walk-able community, we need to have things worth walking to.
I urge you to cunsitler what kintl ofcomnwnity wc wa~t Englewood to be lik e in twenty years . To koep our
re sidcnti ?'. neigh noods -both high density and sin gle family -health y i nd attractive we need open space
and recreational amenities . Once this open space is gune , we are not going to have an opportunity to meet these

The Cily nf 1°ne lewoo d has d oc.11111 cn tcd a shortage o f park space in the nci~hhorl:onds smr 'O'.mding th e
former Flood Middle School site and the downtown arcn. Furthermore , Englewood's Parks und
Recreation Master Plan state~ th at high density rcsidcmial developments "have not be en preferred by
fa mili es, perhaps partly because of the lack of parks for outdoor recreation activities. If lilmilics a.~ to
be living in higher density hous ing, the city should seriously consider an aggre~sive appmaeh to
obtaining ad eq uate parklan c very near or within rcdevelopmcot proj ect s ." \Vjth the r,1any large
res ident ial co111pkx cs irr the urea we cmmut afford tu waste th e opportunity th at 11 :is site pro,•id cs . Mary
L. Flood Park can h~lp alleviate the shonage of park space i•1 our neighborhoocs and support the city's
dc!.ire tn make high dcns :ry living more illlrnct ive in the do\vntown area .
Clearly the former school building r.eeds to be redeveloped. If the structure irnelfcannot be reused , then
something new should be built on this prominent site. But this site is public property and any
redevelopmen t should take the public's best interests into consideration. Protecting the existing open
space (which is about one third of tl:c total fom1e.r school site) can improve the long -tenn quality and
imrocti\'enc~s of the rcdcvd orncnt un<l continue lo provide benefits to the public .
Preserving Mary L. Flood Park is in the best interests or our ne ig hborho od and <luw,,town E11glcwuod .
Someday it can provide badly Jeeded amenities m1d hel;' support a walkable city. Ocr downtown
businesses need a strong z111 d healthy rc si<lt!11Lia\ co111111u11ily ; w~ 11eec.l lo provide tht: basic amenities to
suppon the se re sid ential neigh',orhonds. l urge you to prote ct this neighborhood park. Thunk you.

Subject: Flood Middle School property
Ereetings fellow Englewood residents and City O!ficials!
Regarding the redeve lopment of :he Flood Middle School property, I believe that it is important that the City and all
Applic•nl> µulJlicly dc knuwleuge that ,ornething good for Englewood already exists on this
location : an open space, a green grass playing field and a (ge nerally
defined) neighborhood park. Tilb is a quiet oasis nestled against the busy traffic corridors of South Broadway and
Hampden/285.
·his currently e.isting publi c good needs to b,, acknowledged ! Th en , any propo sed developn1ent need to demonstrate
how it will be an improvement on the good 'Nhic h dlr~dl.JV ~xi)l)!
Please consider the followi ng negative factors which argu e against t he proposed develo pment :
•The proposed apartment and parking stru:tures (which bui •d out to
the very perimeter of the properties and to a he ight of 50 feet and
more) are not in keeping with the character of the neighborhood .
•Th e propos ed development does not add amenitie s to the neighborhood .
On the contrary , it remov es valu ab le open space and cre ate s ins tead
an insulated commun ity within a co mmun ity .
•One single vehicular access in and out of the compound, as proposed,
crea l e1 a t r affic bottle-neck at Kenyon and Broadway . This only
multiplies the probl ems created by adding hundr eds of I1 e w coI1 11IIuh:I s lo tl1 e 11eigl1Uo1 l1out.l .
The posit ive fa ctors in favor , as I heard them , a1 e.
•All prope rt ies at the loca ti on wi lt be s~llleiJ. T1 uul>le'>u1111~ llldi nlenc111 ce µrul.Jlerns will Uc re!>ulv ed.

ta xe s.
•Th e proposed dev elopment wi ll serve as t he '\ •• _eway to South Broadway ."
r ... s nn as id e I would ask l!> En glewo od a city in ne ed of more ho usi ng 1n ord ~r to ru ee t th e needs of i1 ~rowil'lg
popul ation ? Or is En glewood a city in need of more population in order 10 raise inon ey for the cit 1?
Al any rat e, we are considerin g the disposi tion of neighborhood public pro oerty. Yes , 1 understand that the Planning a·
Zo nin g Commission ,nust consider applicat,ons on their merits as they ar e presented . Yes, 1 un ders t ar1 ,J that t here is nc
cu rrently exis ting Englewood ci ty park at tl-e location . Yes, I understand that the Planning Departmen t has not stepoed
up 10 offer alternatives foe consideration .
Anc vc!), u, th ese tr oub le d t imes , I unde rstan d that the Sc hool Dist rict and th e C1 1v find thernsetve s betwee n a ro ck and a
hard place co n ce ming on -going expen ses at Mary Flood Mi ddle School an d Pla yi1 g Fi eld . Ar1y r eas onu~le offer to, el ieve
th e finan Cta l burdens mu st be consi de red .
B11t I am di sa p1>oi11 tcd that as th is ma tt er co me s before th e publ ic th ere is :t pp aren tly only one plan and vi 5io, being
co nsi dered by th e City . Nat urally the Planning and Zonin g Co mmi ss ion has a narrow focu s when il co nsiders a pnrtku!ar
appl ication . I am hoping lhe Ci tv Council w ill si l ba ck and take a bigge r vie w o f th e m aile r.
An obvious alternal ive to the proposed development would be to demo lish and re~uild o n the M:ddle ,chooi site proper
(Uro acw ay to
Lincoln) anu pre serve and m ai ntain the play ing fie ld .
It 's what I would car a compromise.
Is th is ohv io ous a!t ernil tiv e pliln undt:I' c:omirleriltion ;i t all ? Po int ~u t all of th e probl ems in it , but al lea ~t give it

Dear Ma yor Penn and Co uncil Mem bers:
Re: REZONTNG OF MARY FLOO D MLDDLE SCHOOL
EXHIBIT N
My nam e is Coll ee n McGovc m and my hu sband and I have li ved for 13 years at 3929 S.
Shermm1 Street--just three hl ocks from the prop os ed rezonins . We love our neighborhood &
care very de epl y abou t this pl ace. We moved here beca use we were ve ry impress ed with what
Englewood lia s done with the Civic Cenkr area. we lik e heing a "fir st ring suburb .. close lo
downtown Denver, and wc fell in love with our hi storic 1930, ho use and o ur neighborh ood. My
husband & I rid e our bikes to the train stati on to get to ou r jobs, we shop fir st and foremost at
Englewood ;hops and we take our friends lo all the local re staurant s. We hav e wonderful
neighbors , have invested a lot lo pres erve and enhance th e 1:haracter of our modest home, and are
champions to our friend s in the region o f just all that the city of Engkwouu has lU offer.
The Mary-Flood rezoning pro posal will have a profo und impact on our neighborhood and on the
city of Englewood in general. I have not had an opportunity to review the plans for th e si te, as it
requires going to U1 e ci ty offices, whic h are clo sed when I gel off work. [ did att end a
neighborhood meeting, but it wasn't the one required hy th e city 's regulations . For some reason ,
I d id not receive noti c.e of th at meeting, th ough I live withm tile di stance I bel ie ve is lega ll y
req uired to rece ive noti ce. Instead I got a ll ye r Ii-om a neighbor who ho sted ano ther meetin g that
I th ough t was very informative. Alier that meeting, I looked ~t the city websi te and reviewed th e
staff memo to try to find out as mu ch as 1 cou ld .
Aft er wa king up to th e liter that th e lovely sc hool -site and Mary Flood neighb or hoo d park cou ld
be co mplet ely dem olish ed and trnnsfonned into an apartment co mpl ex with nG public access. the
biggest question I was left with was--how does th e city decid e th ese kinds of questions? What
are th e critc1ia upon which yo u are su pp osed to ba se your de cision? Logic wou ld tell me th at

all of"this, here 's what I sec: This proposal would allow for almo st twice the amount of
tl c velnpmcnt that is allowed under the current regulation s, with sig111ficantly lower quality--not
even t:lu:-ic tu 1111..:c ting the: legally ftL1uin:tl i.:rilcria. Ju st us a11 c~a111ph.:.
The proposal is fur more than twi ce 1h c dcn sil y allowed under th e UIJC (currenl regulati ons)-·
1hcy are propo si ng J 10 units , where 15 6 units would be allo,-cd under current zoning--and 1hcy
arc proposing to reduce some ol' the stantlards rather than exceed them . l'or example, page 7 or
the staff memo says the UDC requires 25% land sca ping ufwhich 75% h ;L~ to be live and the
Bu11hu 1 ry PUD pwpuses 15% la11ds capi 11g with 50% of it being li ving . f-urth er, and thi s one is
ve ry conru sin g 10 me , sinc e the prorosed proj ect would taka away a park and the city hos said
tha1 they don't have mon ey for more parks : the.y request to µay only $57,780 in park land
dedication fees where 1hc rcb'l.lhtions require $20.000 per acre , or$ I 34.800 (and the staff memo
says that "council has preliminarily ag:-eed ... " to this?'/). What is the justification for this
redu ction in parkland dedi cat ion fee reduction , especially since the development w ill he
remnving what lor1My is clc-faclo parkland for the nrighborhonr1 , sncl will add about 600 peopk
or mocr to the area, which will mv:1 r enainl y put a strain on existing parks?
Since the City Council repn,s,:nts the larger communitv interests of Englewood, I do hope thot
you will J\OT approve this change unless and until th e upplicont shows how th eir proposul
benefits our community. As I sec it , it prov ides them more units and p,esumably more profit, but
signifi cantly LESS in the way of "devdup111cnt yuality standards, levels o f public 2.111cnitics, 01
kvcb uf design innuvatiun" as required in the city regulations.
Th ere arc other mod els in 1he Denver/ Metro region of rc-dcvciuped sd1001/ park s 'tcs that have
become amenities to th eir surrn11ndi :1g neighborhoods . It appears that the apanmcnt-complcx
proposal is no t one such example, so I urge you lo deny ll11s rezoning.
Thank you for considering my comments and for the public service you provide being on the
City Council.
Respectfully,
Colleen McGovern
