The class cons;:·ted of Code Enforcement to uI1hzmg the shoohng s,mulal or al. I believe, Arapahoe Communi ty College They slarted wIlh 14 members back in September and have ended with 14 members . 100% part,c,pahon WIlh Iha!, I would like lo turn ii over to Ch ief Tom Vandermee Chief Vandermee sard thank you, Yo ur Honor and members of Cou ncil This ,s, ,n fact, the second graduating class or the Englewood Pohce Cit,zen·s Academy And , 11 Is worlh nohng, as the Mayor me ntioned . that ,n both of these classes there have been 100% graduations . 100% or the people that were accepted into ea:h of these Academy classes completed the entire 9 week Academy session. And I think, that is quite a commitment for citizens to make They do this simply because of their interest In learning more about the commun ity The Englewood Police Depart ment and ,ts members are committed to the philosophies of community pohc,ng and customer service. And by pr Jvid1ng these kinds of outreach programs , I lhmk it helps us to create a much belier relationship w,th the membe rs or the community Fturteen citizens are graduati ng from this Academy class and I would like to take the opportunity al this lime to introouce Toni Geier Tom ,sour Community Relations Specialist ~nd she is the one who has been responsib le for spearheading both of these Citizen's Academy and she puts in • lot of hme , r,ffort and energy to make zu,e that all or the classes are scheduled. Thr. classes are taught by memb~rs or :I;,s Police Department sworn officers and other members of the Police Department Code Enforcement personnel. Toni does the bul k of the work with that I would also like to havn Commander Sam Watson step up Sam Is the Supervisor of the Ne ighborhood Services Divis ion or was unt il his recent transfer to the Patrol Division So Sam has his hands ,n and making sure that this project gets completed and done as well Al this time, what I wou ld like to do Is read off tne names of the graduates Ton i and Sam vall hand them their certificates I v,ould invite each memoer that I ask to come up to pleas6 stand up he re and accept the ir cert,hcates Mart,n Albrig ht, Victoria Eddy, Ken Haraldsen. Barbara Hodge, Julie Keeling Liz Leone, Mary Lopez, Marty Mosman. Jern Myers .Chief Vandermee said it ,s worth noting that Jerri's husband wenl through the first Academy clas s, so either he convinced her ,t was worth going through or she made h,m go through the first lime to test the water ... Janet Simpson , Terry Spence, George Sullivan, Julia Watson, Zachary Yon There was applause after each name wa,s announced Chief Vandermee sa id thank you I would just hke to mention in closing tha t we already have the third C11Izen's Academy scheduled and you will be seeing some more information in the near weeks on that class as well Thank you Mayor Woodward said thank yo u There was applause. Ma yor Woodward sa id I wo uld JUSI hke to further menhon that I believe the next course ,s coming up early ,n the year like in February , 1f I'm correct Tom let me know ii that is correct Some of the mocules include drugs and gangs, SWAT overview, patrol procedures, basic se ll defense, driving s1mulat1on, shooting simu lation, crim inal InveshgaI,on. crime scene and forensics science and Code Enforce ment overview I thmk these are ci tizens that are involved and will be c,hzen eyes and ears for our commumty I ~el,eve this group of 14 and the previous group and our future groups are certa inly going to make a difference in our community So, again congralulat,ons on completing this course and for what you do Thank you The re was applause. (b) Gregg Miller sa;d I am a business and property owner here ,n Englewood and I am here lo address the app hcahon for Conditi ona l Use for All Recycling South transfer sta tion I'll keep my comments under ten minutes and 1f you have questions or comments, let me know I Iust want to present my concern to the City of Englewood to pursue l he approval of the refuse transfer station without furt her review of impact on the area and further not,f,cahon or the affected property owners and bus,nesses I don't think anyone is really aware of what is going to be taking place there and not a lol or notification has occurred , so I think thal probably needs to happen before 11 ,s approved I was made aware of 11 when they posted the first notif ication s,gns near the site and I think the.re was an ad rn the paper a~ well I was not able to do anything, because I was out of town at the hme or that two week durahon that ,t was posted. so I missed the public hearing that was he ld on October 21", which I con'! think had any negahve feedl>ack at all because I don't think that many people were aware or the s1 luatIon So me of the key concerns aboul the refuse lransfer stahon ,s one obviously the • • • Englewood City Council November 3, 2008 Page J PfOl)elty values of a transfer stat10n going ,n the neighborhood history shows the propeny values usually don't go up when that type of bus,ness goes ,n the ne,ghborhood and so. for myself and for others there Is some concern for our property values More so ,s the effect of the traffic 1n the area that will affect all of the businesses there There was a Traffic Study done, however. I feel that 11 looked purely at numbers ot traffic coming ,n and out of the area. and at the particular coiners that they felt would be the route 901119 11110 the bu5tness I don't lh1nk It took a reahsllC perspechve v,ew of the streets and the businesses and the traffic ano how they work ,n that area 11 ,s an older area or Englewood and ii is designed for a certain amount of tramc In the Traffic Study It relates numbers that are comparable I~ high volumes. but they are for banks and theaters and last food, which are sman. pnvate-type vehicles This refuse center will actually be handhng a lot more large vehicles .. trash trucks, semi trucks. much larger In size I don't think the numbers were that comparable to what is really 901119 to be happening there The numbers suggest about 300 trucks a day to get rnto very big specifics. but the poin t of the matter ,s It adds up to about a truck every minute and a half over the business day. which lends to be a lol of traffic for that area. because it as not designed as high traffic areas There are no traffic signals III that area There's some stop signs. but they are two-way stops not four-way stops When you look al a refuse center, lhe trucks !hat are coming in there. it is goin~ to lake them more than a minute and a half to unload and exit But if you've gol a truck com,ng every minute and a half. there wdl be s,gn,ricant back- up, which is part of the concern. because the area 1s all sing le-lane tralfic There Isn't parking There's no place for these trucks to go as they're waiting , which Is going to create a slgniricant problem. not only Just outside of the area, but for several blocks rn the lwo d1rectlons that the veh!Cles wdl be coming ,n and I don'l lhlnk that has been looked at slgnlficanUy at all It will also create. with all of that back-up, there will be a lot of access Issues for the businesses. a lol of parking issues for the businesses Everything . parl!Cutarly between Danmouth and Evans .. that is the access to that facitity, wm create problems because with the back-up with lhe traffic, employees and customers of those businesses will have a very hard hme gettmg into those businesses. because there •s no place for those trucks to go ,f they are not acces$1ng that srte So they are going to be blockrng driveways . Since its ... lhere's no turn lanes really Involved ,n that area, it Is going 10 be a s,1 and wall process, which I think is going to be significant and rt won't just be we understand that rush hour does slow things down, but I think "'s going to be more of a concern of an all day prcicess The T raffic Study only recommended four direct,onal signs to be posted That was the only recommendation So. based on that that Is why I'm bnnging up some of these po,nts, because I think you can work with how ,t currenlly exists They did point out that a ma10r area or entrance was Evans and Raritan and thal a turn lane m,ghl be effeclrve there and probably required However, the site tocat,on doesn't allow for a turn lane, so It's 1mprac11Cal .show rt was termed at conclus1011. So, that can't be placed there . so rt went ahead and said it can go ah~ad, but 11 was still recommended lhat one was there So. I don't know how lo address that It says that II is going to be an issu e II suggested a fix, but the fll< can'I happen. so I don't know how you address that That's kind of a concern The area ,s very old There's not a place lo widen lhll streets; that type or th ,ng So. I don't know how the solutions will be solved I think there needs to be some more research done In thal area There obvlously with all of Iha: tralf,c, two-way stop slg11s and trucks there are already issues that we've had w,th polenbal accidents, lry,ng to pursue through a two-way stop, trying to look around a corner, but If there are trucks sltung there, obviously it's ver/ hard to see and rt presents a bigger problem for potenbal accodents There are two main entran..es from erther side ObVIOOsly coming down Evans onto Rantan ls one approacn , the other Is off or Dartmouth coming on Tejon One thing that the traffic research study dldn'l look at ls obviously a main entrance onto Dartmouth is Dartmouth and Santa Fe where a lot of that traffic wilt be coming from There's already an Issue where you have a double tum lane coming onto Dartmouth, going into a ~,ngle-lane, so ll's already a traffic impact U you were to just take half of those 300 trucks coming Into that area and put them there . 4's gong to create a problem that I don·t think Is going to be something that ,s very workable The other entrance. when you are commg off cl Dartmouth onto Tejon. all those trucks coming in also have to exit, so coming back out ol thal neighborhood, If you JUSl took half of them, figunng half of them would go and half might go the olher. you do have the f,re s.al!On that 1s iust half a blcick off of that lnlersecllon. so II you had mult iple true~•-backing up nothing was noted ,n lhe Traffic Study that you might be blocking, obV10usly, emergency vehicle cond1t10RS I didn't see that addressed 1n there. so that might be a concern there Those are JUSI some of the issues thal we noticed, as we looked at this .. that cou ld be some concerns There's obv,ously a lol more detail Impacted Into those One of the things When you look al that neighborhood rt·s an rnduslnat neighborhood. and there are alreaoy a lol ot trucks ,n there, but the trucks work because of lhe low tramc In the area There are sem••trucks that go through that neighborhood. but when you look at how they work. a Traffic Study doesn't p,ck 11 up because ,rs purely numbers When lhOse semi-trucks come ,n10 those businesses. they are actually using the street to back ,nto therr docks, so the streets are actually cut off as these semi-trucks are loading Into the • • • Engle wood City Council Novem ber 3, 2008 Page 4 businesses , which may not be a lega l th ing to do , but Irs worked for many years 1n that environment w1lh the low traffic It's not a problem because people can wa,I Bui 1f you put Iha! much traffic ,nlo ,1 and those trucks , they are not going lo access those businesses anymore , so again . anolher problem w,th that So we fust requesl lhal a llllle more tho rough research is done before lhe City Council approves that Cond1honal Use to allow Iha! And If ,1 were approved anyway I th ink another wise r.hoIce might be lhal they have a plao dro•,•m IIp for lhat This refuse stahon Is the whole block between Harvard and Wesley and 1t Is sugges ted lhal the entrance/exll to the property be put on Wesley versus Harvard And the reason for lhal Is that lhe company apply ing fo r lh1s Is , All Recycling South business , Is on Wesley and so lhey wou ld be the on ly ones affected by their own business : where sf you put It on lhe Harvard side , they are affectir.g severa l other businesses there and the way that the plan is laid out , you could enter from either side . Righi now they have the entrance on the Harvard side , with no entrance on the Wesley side So that mIghl be a I don·I think Irs the proper thing 10 approve it but 1f ii did , that might support some of the problems That's all I have Thank you for your lime Mayor Woodward said thank you Mayor Woodward said I Just might add , typically we do nol answer questions during this perioo of lhe meeting , however , this may be addressed under Council Memoers' Cho ice aI the end ol lhe meeting . Thank you (c) Ka thleen McGowan said thank you for lhe opportun ity to speak before you agair, ton ight I realize this Is not a co ntinuation of the Publ ic Hearing on Council Bill 65 , bul be fore you casl your vole tonight , please take a moment to consider these questions . Where does this bill come from? Where does this bill lead to? And who does ii benefit? Is ii really good for the Cily as a whole? Though Cou ncil Bill 65 is not site specific , Mr . Moore poin ted out last lime , that the Sou th Ogden St reet subdivision is the test case for this bill City staffs own evidence presented to Council is only about the South Ogden Street subdivision This bill is predicated on this case , Just as everything which has preceded this blll has been predicated on and driven by th is case . As such , I corstinue to assert that all the facts regard1n~ the South Ogden Street subdivision are relevant to this forum and lo this bill . I think the citizens of Englewood deserve all of the facts . Two weeks ago , my neighbor , Chris tian Mills , asked Council and the City Allorney if there was a lawsui t regarding Mr. Curnow's property al 2919 South Og den Street Since no one chose lo answer that question , we did a public records search and found that, in fact . there is a pen ding lawsuit by Mr Curnow·s company , suing the City of Englewood and the Board of Adjus tment and Appeals regarding this property I have submitted a copy of that lawsuit fo r each of you Basically Mr . Curnow, throug h Arapahoe County D1slncl Court , Is swng the City of Englewood for both a financial sett lement and the subd1vis1on on South Ogden Street Th is lawsuit is another piece of the behind the scenes process . which has been ignored and omitted from the public process I don 't think IIIs fa1r lo the citizens of Englewood lo keep omitting facts regarding this tesl case Smee no one within lhe Crty seems lo fr el respons ible to bring all of the facts forward , if we have lo be the one~ lo bring the facts to the pubhc forum . tn en we will conllnue to do so The City of En glewood and the Board are the defendants m this lawsuit As •r J representatives and agen ts of the City of Eng lewood, you are all party lo this lawsu it And on Ju ly 21" of this year , Mr Curnow·s lawyer, Mr . Casebolt , appeared before Council seeking .. ·so. we would like City Counc il lo dire~t the Allorney 's office or outs ide counsel. whoever Is handling this . to engage with us In te rms of finding common ground here . because we want to settle th is. Or, In the allemat,ve , we respectfully request the City Council give us the subdivision ·. II Is inappropriate for Council to be cons 1denng this bill lo codify th e 5% exception, since the City Is be ing sued by Mr Curnow for his subd1V1s ion based on this 5% exception Furthermore , I tnink ,t Is Iusl pla in wrong It's wrong to pass a bill affecting virtually all of Englewood, so Mr Curnow can gel his subdivision . In light of this lawsuit , I contend Council should withdraw Council 8111 65 In regard to Mr Curnow·~ lawsu,I, it contains many fallacies , but I will leave those lo the City Attorney 's office lo figure out Bui there is one cnt,cal point in this lawsuit , and In Mr. Curnow's lawyer's statement lo Councll . which relates directly lo this process . Iha! I would like lo clarify Mr Curnow claims to have bought the property al 29 19 South Ogden Street after the August 6, 2006 Study Session , which discussed this 5% reduchon in lol width , and after assurance from Community Development that he could subdivide the property Despite Mr Curnow's cla ims , the real facts , according lo Arapahoe County records , are that he purchased the propert y on September 02 . 2005 I've also submitted a copy of that for you as well , from the County records . The real facts are that he purchased the property one year prior to lhR 2006 Council Study Session , one year before there was ever any d1scus~1on of changing the width minimum The rea l facts , according to sta•rs presenlahon to Council are lhal lhe 2006 Study Session was actually pred icated on Ih Is property My point Is tha t the orsg1nai error was Mr Curnow's, as was the ong1na l request for this 5% reduction He bought a property m 2005 , wh ich lhe UDC • • • Englewood City Counci l November 3, 2008 Page 5 expressly states does not meet the 50 foot width requirement 10 subd1v1de Ong,nally Community Development told Mr Curnow no no , the property could not be subd1v1ded There are two neighbors who had conversations with Mr Curnow tn which he expressed h,s anger that the City was not granting the subd1v ,s1on Bui Mr Curnow wasn 't go,ng lo accept no as an answer , and since 2006 . he has relentlessly pushed City staff and City Council lo gel 11 He has pushed II to the po,nl of sutng the City lo get 11 Passing th is btll will put that process ,n place There ,s no evidence that anyone other tha n Mr Curnow has ever sought tn,s type of subd1v1s1on In fact , all the evidence mdtcates that use ,snot JUSI the lest case . but that ti was the ongin al and only one for this 5% reduct,o~ ,n the past three years Nor ,s the re any evidence that anyone other Iha,, Mr Curnow will benefit from ,t Nor ,s there any evidence anyone else wants ii or supports it Al : other developers and homeowners have had to fo llow lhe existing UDC There were also mistakes made by the City staff when they turned a Council Study Session in to an admm,strattve change in the UDC Please do not continue to perpetuale the series of errors that have lead lo this point Attempting lo legiti mize the errors and mistakes won't fix them or make them nght It simply mitigates this 5% reduction from one case to all R-1 D1stncIs . That's virtually the whole city Don't fUS I pass this hot potato lo the Planning and Zoning Comm,ss,on , a Comm1ss 1on which has recommended th is bill They will make a decision Then either Mr Curnow or our cI1tzens group w,11 appeal that decision Then ii will come bac k to Council , a Council which has already endorsed this bill In both instances , Mr . Curnow will only have to prove the 5% reduclton , whi le, again , the neighbors w,11 bear the burden of prool According lo the bi ll, Section 5-C .. the ne ig hbors must prove that lhe subdivision has a ·s,g nifica nt negaltve impact on those properties surrounding the subd ivis10n and the general health , safety and we lfare of the community" Then Council wi ll make a decision and either Mr . Curnow or our ciltzens group w,11 appeal to the Dis trict Court . Stop the domino effect. Is the District Court really the enti ty you want making policy for the Ci ty of Eng lewood? Ju st say no to Council Bill 65 . Force Mr. Cu rnow to take the respons ibil ity and the co nsequen ces of purchasing a property. wh ic h does not meet the re quirements to subdivide . Let Community Development take the responsib ility for not following proper procedures and for making promises it shouldn't have Let the City Attorney deal wit h the consequences of those dec isions , but don 't pe rpetuate the conseque nces onto the City of Englewood by passing a bill which promotes creating sub-standard , non - conforming lots throughout 75% of the City And don 't make our neighborhood suffer the consequences by getltng the two smallest Ir.ts, with the two larg est houses , with two large front garages The answer lo the question of subd1v1ding d property into lots le ss than 50 fee l ,n width ... as requi red by the UDC and supported by the Eng le wood roadmap .. was no Tha l answer should continue to be no 68 citizens , 68 , signed a l~lle r asking Council to say no .. no lo subdIv1s1ons less than 50 feet in width Withdraw Council Bill 65 Vote no on Cou ncil Bill 65 . But please do not allow th e outcome of Mr. Curnow·s mistakes and this lawsuit , compounded by Ci ty staffers ' errors, be thal he gels his subd1 vi s1on and perhaps a financia l settlement from the City What the citizens of Englewood get are smaller and sma lle r lots . as well as the burden of that financial settle men t An~ ou r neighborhood gels unwan ted development. destruc ltve lo the character and the quality of ou, neighborhood Please consider where does th,s bill come fro m, where does lhis bill lead to , who does this bill benef,t?

Thank you for your ti me Mayor Woodward said thank you Recognition of Unscheduled Publ ic Com ment (a) Chnst,e McNe,I1 an Eng lewood reside nt . sa,d I've come before the board before speaking on lhts issue , again regardin g B,1165 And tonight I'm happy lo be the bearer of good news . I, m my httle self no n- scie nI 1fic study, went around ou r neighborhood , as I ohen do wtlh my dog and my baby , and I counted ,n less than a five block radius from where we live . from Downing to the Bates -Logan Park, and between old Hampden and Yale, more than 28 new bu tlds That's not including the additional properties tha t have renovatio ns , add1t1ons , and upgrades lo them So the good ne ws ,s .. the current Code is working There are 28 new builds , probably since 2000. ,n that little square of Englewood What I wanted to combat , was the fac t that when Mr Curnow spoke al tM las t me eting . he made 11 sound like 1f you didn 'I pass Bil l 65 you were dooming Eng lewood to the dark ages of deve lopment I JUSI want you to know that that's not true and tha l you should not be hamstrung Into approving this out of fear that . somehow, Englewood would no t be able to move forward and prog ress and grow and develo p ,n a healthy wa y that supports sustainable growth and growth that's good lor the Curren: neighbors and the landholders And so I would Iust hke you lo not be Inl1m1daled by a lawsuit , nol be mI,m1dated by broad statemen ts about developers not being in terested ,n Englewood . or not w,lhng to deve lop if you don't do this bPCause ob vi ously they are Obviously people are ,nvesltng ,n Englewood Obviously people • • • Englewood City Council November 3, 2008 Pago 6 are upgradu ,; ,,. Englewood There has been absolutely nothing stopping Mr Curnow from bu1ld,ng on that plot since he purchased ,t in 2005 The only t~1ng that 1s slopping him Is the fact that he wants to build two buildings because 11 makes h,m more money And there 1s over 28 new properties thal say you don'I have 10 change the Code, it's working Englewood 1s just fme Congratulations (b) Mary Finch , an Englewood resIden1, said good evening and thank you for your t,me. I'm kind of a newbie regarding this b19 fat mess that we have on South Ogden Street Just because somebody can't follow the rules, and then he wants to change the rules and I'm kmd of a rule person I was interested w.th Chnst,e's stall$1ic: about the 28 new houses I've seen them too There are a lot of them on South Clarkson and Just all over and they're JUSI lovely, lovely homes I just don't think what Mr Curnow has planned will be all that lovely This Is a big controversy and I h:ipe that you'I lake 11 senously I :hink you are on a slippery slope to start amending your own rules and tEgs I'd kke to thank Kathleen for taking this on I don't know that anybody on South Ogden Street would really have known about ii unbl she got the ball roli,ng Im one of the n8 who signed lhe pebtJon I'm concerned I'm concerned. I see thlS being the beg111ning of redevelopment that "m not aN that In favor of I guess that's all I have to say tonight Thank you for your bme Mayor Woodward said thank you Council Member Moore said your honor, can I ask a quick question? Can I ask a clarlRcallon from the Cily Attorney how this works with our Public Hearing process? Citizens are free to speak, but technica lly, we're not supposed to... City Attorney Brotzman said yo u are bound by the Public Hearing process, so you're bound by the sworn testimony that was given al the Public Hearing. Council Member Moore said ... so what we're hearing tonight should not.. that's not what we should be factoring In our decision process. City Attorney Brotzman said ~·s Informational, but no . the sworn testimony ,s what you're supposed to be working on Counc1t Member Moore said thank you. I'm trying to figure out how to deal with that difficulty Please proceed (c) Jill E. Moore, an Englewood reslden~ said obviously I've been here before, as a few of us have. One thing I did want to point out when Mr Miller was here talkilg about his sltuat10n, one of the fnt things he said was well, t didn't reaDy know about It untM the public sign was posted, 1n regards to what was going to happen to "•t property That never happened on South Ogden. Never happened Again, had Christian M,11s .. Who aves directly across the street from the property ... not taken notice and Kathleen, who Is my next door neighbor .. we never would have known that any of this Is going on We knew that the property was sold but we weren't sure how this was going to Impact our neighborhood, so we didn't even have a leg up In the very beginning of this process. That's been my whole argument th rough th,s. Of course, I'm not for this I live two houses actually one house, away from the tot In discussion. This Bill is not and has nothing to do w11h, in my opinion, th e whole City of Englewood II ,s predicated on this one lot, for th is one builder, a builder who does not live In Englewood . He says that he Is so Interested In and In love with the Citv of Englewood We don't find that the case There has been a very big tack of a lot of things In this situation Lack of transparency from Community Oevelopmen~ lack or truth from both Community Development and Mr. Curnow and his attorney, frankly, and a lack of trust ir. the people that we have put In place in Englewood, that should take care of these things for us Processes have not been followed That's been my big beef and that . t think for an of us, ,s aN of our concerns t, myself, am a homeowner that re-vamped my home, in keeping with the neighborhood I didn't build a two-s\~ I built a ranch on one lol and t stiU kept my single car garage, because everybody said. wen, you can put a two cat garage right out in front of your house That's not what I wanted my house to say Not 1n my neighbortlood Wei, for resale, you should put a three car garage in there Where m the heck am I going to put a three car ga.rage? I have no alley. Keeping 1n mind I'm one house away from said property I did it I posted all of the things I needed to do. I got all of the permits I needed io t .ave, I went through the process And frankly, I love my home. I love Englewood .. butt am , and I'll use ·.nis.,. ·' penUy, tam disgusted and dismayed at some of the people that we have put In place to make thes&, " i . ,s going forward w•th progress And I agree with Christie, Eng lewood is not going to fall apart because 1·· -: "',w doesn't get hi, subdivision He certainly has a lovely piece of property that he can p\Jt one gors ou. 1umu .•n, It's boen don<i In our neighborhood at teast 28 ti.:,es. The subdivision, In my opinion, Is ,1ot g •• : .. , to ~Meflt ~nvbody b:il Mr Curnow and he has not been forthcom in g with many, many things in th is process ~•·· you Mayor WOOl!Ward said thank you • • • Englewood City Council November 3, 2008 Page 7 (d) Rock Gollit an Englewood resident said I have two thongs One ,s I am ,n support of 65. for the reason lhal the City needs to be progressive A tot of lh1ngs that v.ere built years back weren't built for the infrastructu re we have now some properties were taken parts of properties were taken and there are a lot of places In Englewood that aren't that perfect little box I thank you for cons1denng being progressive and understanding that although 11 affects them, II could affect other c,t,zens In the future and I think your dec,s1on would take care of that My second Item Is I'm understanding that the City of Englewood receives quote a chunk of cash from Comcast I know you can't comment and I have lo waI1 but one of the things that some of us approaching you folks woth 1s open government II seems hke some of our other cities hnd II very easy to put these sessions on their website , al no cost lo the public Yet 1f I want to hear what happens al one of the Study Sessions or one of the Coty Council meehngs I have to pay anywhere from S5 00 to S100 00 for 1L I don't understand why c111Zens are burdened for something that the City's already gelling a benefit from, from Comcast Other cities use Comcast I believe 11 os Channel 8 lllat they can have the broadcast done on If you could help explain to me . Joe Col!zen about how this realty WOlks I have paid the $5 00 for a tape and t have helped some other people spend up to $50 00 to get something and ot Just seems petty I looked al the City's budget. we went spent a lot of money on a tot of other things that havenl shown we are open govemmenl II takes as much tin,e to update a website , as ot does to cut a CD. I am just asking as my Councilman .. as Mr Oakley, my Councilman. I am your constituent, would you please let us citizens have access lo recorded items without having to pay for them. Since the City is already receiving money for that Another lh1ng th£ question aboul making the tape available lo lhe public. Is ADA. Some people can·1 aren'l ab le to read In my community lhere are some elderly peop le that have a hard lime reading But they did have computers .. it's kind of funny The family comes over... There is a way, where they can ... al their home tap In and stream this very session and not have to pay for It I ask thal you please consider this II is 2008, going on 2020 It feels like but we can do this very simply The Clly has a wonderful website great Information The City Clerk has done a fabulous job of keeping all the Items on the minutes I guarantee you It takes her a lot longer lo put the m,nutes up on-One, than It does to upload an audio tape or a digital disk So. I will ask you to cons.der that And, again, thank you for your posibve vote on 65 Mayor Woodward 5:3.J thank you (e) Donna Ne1son an EngJewo>d resident, said I am another citlZen here regarding Btl 65 I'm sure you're gettmg tired of hearing about 11 at this poonl Bui lasl mght as I was trying to fall asleep, I slarted thlnk111g about what I could say to you, lo 1nnuence you not to approve Councol em 65. And I started trying to look at the facts, and look at things In different angle! and just try lo get my mind around this thing Why 1s th,s so Important? Why is this being pushed so hard? A. id I started thinking why aren't there more lot owners tn favor of this boll and why aren't they here to support II? Why hasn'I Community Development or Planning and Zoning provided Council with Information about how many lot owners have requested a variance, only to learn that there is no vehicle in place to do so And then I remembered lhat Mr Curnow had a plat showing a dovision of the lol prepared and that the plat had been signed off on by Planning and Zoning The plat was like one signature away from being approved and recorded and the whole nine yards. And then I started to have an epiphany The reason no one Is here, other lhan Mr Curnow, is because everyone else who has ever requested a similar subdMs,on has received II It has been signed off on by Community Development and Plam,ng and Zoning They've been granting these subdlYlSIOlls al along, on VIOlabon of lhe current codes and ordinances, creating illegal lots That's my opm,on, I could be wrong, but I beheve ~ to be true Thal s why Communoty Development and Plannong and Zoning tned to pass this off as a housekeeping matter Just a llttle m,nor thong. fUSI a WJe minor housekeeping thong, because they are trying to cover the mistakes that they have made ,n the pasl At this pomt, I don't have any behef that anything I say to you wlll change your minds, butt challenge 1•ou to Investigate this matter To investigate how many ~mes this type ol subdivision has been made, because each one of those was Illegal I think this Council needs lo know who has been In charge of these subdivisions and I think you need lo report back to the people \ our findings and also report back to us what consequences will be eniJrced lor these illegal actions. Thank iOU Mayor Woodward sa id thank you (f) Matthew Crabtree, an Englewood resident, said I would loke to address a couple of ,ssues here Pamcularly three different comments directed towards me and a few thongs I commented on during the last Council mee~ng First off, t would bke to respond to John Moore 's comments And actually I dod go home and • • • Englewood City Council No vom bur 3, 2008 Page 8 research the minutes and I did make a mistake wi th the characterozalton You are absolutely correct The charactenzatoon or your comments was incorrect I have been s·ttong on the back or the room and fOf some reason I had m,s,nterpreted what you had said To clardy what you dod say you said you do make decos,ons that need to be made ,n thos room ·1 make them In this room· I dodn t catch that part correctly Although 111s not nearly as bad as my 1nterpretat,on from the last meeting I w,11 say that 11 does allow for InterpretatIon that some dec:slons part,CU!arly the comment ·1 do make decls,ons that need to be made. 1n this room· allows 1nterpre1ahon to make crec,srons 1n Study Sess,on which can t be done It IS simply black and white After the meeting, the last Council meeting I was questioned well what about ,t !here Is any gray area with this Well I dod some resear~h and as you know there are other groups like ECOG. that have addressed this issue woth other Councils and they have been soocesslut They fought s,mofar battles and I compared my notes and "Y onterpretat,on of the Open Meetings Law is odent,cal to theirs And listen. I am not up here 10 ,mtate you I hope you all take ,nto conslderat,on the Open Meetings Law and I hope you all take ,nto consIderat,on the fact that decisrons have to be made on this room The sItuat10n that happened here woth the Ogden Street I would li ke to say ~ agaon that s an ,ssue and II was caused by malung ;, dec,s,on dunng an Illegal process dunng Study Session Now on 10 the next topic here, I wanted to respond to Joli Wofson's comments too regarding my statements dun ng the Public Hearing You had stated that even though I sa,d I don't have a dog In this fight, you had stated that I had taken sides In the past And I really haven't even though some members of our group have taken sides 1n the issue I have chosen not to 1rs a tough issue There a,e some ,n1eres11ng arguments on both sides But Just to clanfy with you Joli, I have not taken sides And to quote the public record from my lorst presentat,on, back on August 4", I stated specifically towards the end of my presentation that I would like to recommend that Council holds a Pubhc Hearing regarding this property And based on the 1nformabon from the publoc, make the decision to grant or nol to grant the vanance ol the lot Width Both presentations were simply 10 cr11tclze the process the City had followed with this ,ssue Understanding that II could easily blow up Now as for the last response ... Wayne Oakley's comme nts .. I apprecia te your stance on a few open meetings things I think you and I do see eye lo eye on a lot of Issues although f am concerned that you had stated that of all the dtscussoons were done ,n thlS room, not on Study Sessoons the meetings would go on much later than they already do And there ,~ a bit of a trend here on Councol In the Coty of Englewood, to rush through these meetings As an example, there was a mohon to vote , one vote for the resofutoons an d mrolJOns I believe and approval or ordinances on second u seems that the Council wants to rush through t have. over the last year and a half, seen very few Couna meeongs go past 10 00 Whereas, in lrttfeton, lheor mee tong s often tomes go all the way 11111 ·00 am or 2 00 am. That may sound like a long tome, but 11 rt's a requirement to bring these discussions before the public and have them on the record, that ,s what yoe have got to do Study Sessoon has ,rs place and ,t ,s a r,ne tone bet,11een the two ,ssues Study Sess,on is tor e<"ucatoonal purposes ol Council. I beheve, and d,scussoon EM there has to be doscuss,on on thos room loo So IS~ues l,ke Ogden Street, again, can be looked back upon There Is no record of the meeting that Ogden Str~t was discussed durong a Study Sess ion It might have been If that had been discussed during Counc!!, 11 would have been JUSI as easy as IOOkong through the minutes of the presentatlOII and understanding what exacUy had been stated So with those three partocufar comments, f'U leave you with that, aod thank you for your tome (g) Chrostian MIiis, an Englewood resident, sa,d thank you for your tome ton ight I am also here to talk about my oppos1110n to Councd Bdl 65 My ne,ghbors have covered most or this so I n kef'~ 11 boef I WIii make three main points I second Ms McGowan's poonl that sonce July or this year there has been a lawsuit against the Coty, regarding thos subd1vis1on ond that no voter decision should be made whof that ,s outsta nding It ,s a great confhct of Interest Secondly. this amendment has been dnven by one property and one property only that ,s 2919 South Ogden Street The deas,on to support thos amendment affects an cd Englewood II potentially makes the smallest lots In the Coty smaner, w,th ve<y large footprint houses on lots that were des,gned for 700 to 900 square feet Thirdly, Mr Curnow, the owner and would be developer of that property has misrepresented himself to myself and other neighbors on our block, lo the Council, Community Development and. alarmingly, to the Arapahoe County Dostnct Cour1 In a complalnL dated July 11 2008 Mr Boll Cumow's company, Colorado Custom Constructron, brought a lawsuit against the C<ty of Englewood about th,s matter My neig hbor, Kathleen McGowan , has already outlined this case, so I won't belabOr the deta ils But I w,11 pomt out that ,t doesn't take a lawyer to see that there Is great and tremendous conflict or mterest to make a deCISJOO whole there 1s something outstaodong The deciSIOII to uphold thos boll would remedy that srtuat,on This conmct of interest smacks ol self-deal1ng ,r 11 Is somethmg that gets the City out from thos lawsuit that ,t ,s already under So, I second Ms McGowan In asking that this decos,011 be put off unhl this lawsuit Is settled I thonk that ,s the nght and Just thong to do and that ,s the sp,nt of the ta,, Secondly, despite the window dressing • • • Eng lewood Ci ty Counc il November 3, 2008 Page 9 that this 3mendmenl 1s for the greater good of Englewood , all fa ctual ev1derce sugges ts that this 1s being driven by the property owner of 2919 South Ogden Street To give you a bne, 11mel1ne , th is 1s fac t, the County records sh ow tha t the purchase o, ~roperty was September 2 2005 Al tha t lime , there were no prorosals . no Study Sessions , there we re no mee t11 gs no thing that we could fmd , 1n the public records , th at suggest that anyone had asked fo r this su bd 1v1s1on ext.eplions fo r the 11 -1 D1stnct In late June and early Ju ly , Mr Curnow tells Dav id Westfa ll, of the 2900 block of Sou th Ogden Street and I think a cou ple of gentleman on Council met with him last week ex pre ssed his disp leasure to Mr Westfall and to myself tha t the City would not let h1m subd1v1de the property My respons e to him at the ti me was shouldn 't he have fo und that out before he bought that properly It 's a basic tenant of capita lism the caveat . let the buyer beware Since that time , Mr Curnow has been the only one that we can fi nd, through our sea rches of public records , that has asked for this except ion The process to gel to where we are tonigh t has bee n anything but transpa rent II has been driven relentless ly by Mr Curnow and now his auorney and 1ncred 1bly , Community Developm ent 1s siding wilh him .. a developer , instead the Englewood c1t1zens that are here to ni ght and that signed our petit1on .. 68 of them In that neighborhood I might point out . Lastly, Mr Curnow has misrepresented himse lf to my neighbors and I, Community Development , to you on this Council and alarm ingly to the Arapahoe County Distnct Court I'll address th e mo st serious first You have a copy of this on page two of his lawsuit , item 11, unde r the general allegations It states In 2006 , prior to pu rch as ing th e property, plain tiff s agents ... Mr Curnow an d Mr Doug Lillibrige , approached the City and in fact . it goes on to talk about that. In fact , you have a copy of this as we ll ... lhe property was purchased in September of 2005 , as I point out , prior to any of this tak ing place . Why wo uld he do thi s? Why would he misrep resent the date of purchase ? Now he did qu ick claim that property but ii stayed within the same name There 1s no money that changed hands All he is doing Is align ing himsel f with the t1mehne that benefits Community De v lop menl. This 1s a fal lacy at best. I tell yo u ... saymg that he purchased somethi ng, when he did n't .. In a law su it. .. ,s either gross misrepresenta ti on or its strikes me as perJury He 's sayi ng in a court of law that he 1s !lomg something that he didn 't do He either bought the property , wit ho ut the proper due diligence , which he sh ovld he eld accountable for or he was arrogant enough to think he could bully or ca jole us into his way into a subdivision . Al the last meeting . he made a re mark. He sa id he assumed he cou ld do this, because he does th is mother counties , hke Denver , etc We all know the def initi on of the word assume .. right ? He pu rports himself to be a fr iend of Eriglewood , but I think the Council mem bers that saw the property , have that all he has done 1s remove all the vegetation . he has cu t down the trees ... ma ture trees I mi ght point out .. and made th e plac e a construction dump I liv e directly across from th is property and he has been anything but a good neighbor I ask you to think about all the Englewood signatures that you have received that don 't want th is bill tu pass . And I ask yo u to support the c1t1zens of Englewood I'll conclude by Just saying . I stand with this group of ne ighbors and the ne ighbo rs that signed that pet ition We ha ve been unil ed in our oppos 1l1on to thi s amen dme nt and the subd1v1sion We 've respectfully come to meetings , submitted letters , subm itted ~ignatures and we have come to the meetings to speak Mr Curnow has lied , bulhed and he had hi s attorney threaten a lawsuit and no w he 1s su in g us to get this do ne I'm asking you to re membe r who you support , who voted you into office , who you repres en t. .. and that is the citizens of Englewood and 11 is not a de ve lo per who 1s trying to risk our home va lues for his own gam Th ank you (h) Shannon Sturgen said I live in Dis trict 1 in Englewood . I had called Joe and Jim and the City Clerk last week about a problem I have been having with garbag e, because my garbage company no tonger services the District 1 area The City Clerk's Office faxed me a copy of the lis t of garbage places tha t are licensed In the City of Eng le wood It was a 11s t of 10 businesses Out of all 10 businesses, I think the re were only 4 that did res idential and 2 of the 4 do not do , I guess . D1stncl 1 ... which I th ink 1s kind of annoying . Be cause they are the ones that aren 't asking for these extra fees , that the 2 tha t are goi ng to be able to do my area , are asking for I either have to pay S25 00 to Eag le Waste Manag ement to gel the l1 garbag e cans , 1n orde r for me to have their garbage serv ice or I have to pay $25 .00 to Waste Managemen t for them to come and pick up my ga rbage Because Camelback , that does res iden lia l, doe s not do my section of Eng lewood And I can't remember what Jim 's was .. ii was Pro something and they don't do that section of Englewood So, I think 1t is kind of funn y tha l the City of Eng lewood can license things and It 1s only good for certa in areas And so, ba sically , people wh o live 1n my area District 1, are second class citize ns and have to pay $25 00 extra , ~lus gas surcharges that both of these 2 co mpanies are charging me thal the other 2 companie s, that service Englewood , don 't ch arge So I thin k tha t you know , when the C1ly of Eng lewo od puts into place the Code , which says th at we have to ha ve weekl y garbage picked up at our house . 1s now kind of hke pumsh1ng me because whateve r the company was whoever brought them out afterwards and whatever ,s now putt in g me in to the pos1l1on where I have to pay extra gas service charge , S25 00 either for a ne w garb age can or fo r • • • Englewood Ci ty Council November 3, 2008 Page 10 administration fees to get my garbage picked up I think that Is an unfair burden on people ,n my area And 11 Is kind of, basically a monopoly too of these 2 companies to overcharge people In my area ,n order lo get our garbage picked up And then commen~ng on the recychng place s,nce t lrve nght in that a-ea too we already had extra traff,c In that area thanks to wh.ltever the RTD place Is now called With lhe buses C01111ng on Rantan TeJon and Zun, so you know you have aff this extra traffic coming on you have pnnong companies in the area you have Premiere Garbage that ,s nghl next to the greenbelt park So you the btg vehicles and diesels that are In that area that block trail,:, like with Busy Bee that Is right on the corner or Baker and Teion So, whenever the lrucks come In to deliver paper to them ... they block tra ffic, since 11 Is one lane both ways Th en the glass place that Is larther down , closer to th e Fire Department, that they had diesel trucks pulling In th ere too to block the road. Then you have the Premier Waste Disposal people right by the greenbelt that go in and out, across the street and over to them that are blocking with their trucks and then t1ke I said , with all the RTD .so I don't see ... if you are going to be havmg 300 diesel lrucks In that area In one day , how that is going lo help property values or even the traffic sttuation In their That Is ndlculous I mean we already have diesel trucks that park there al mght waiting for that recycling ptant to open up on like Wesley and down the street So I am JUSt thinking the City really needs to think about whether they approve that about the traffic situallOn, because one lane on Zun,. both lanes one lane on Te)on. both ways one lane on Ranlan. both lanes. Just stop signs ,n some of the areas I mean Zuni and TeJOn you go zipping straight down and there are problems already with speeders ,n that area , I don 't see the And then lhe last th ing I have to bnng up is .. I called Code Enforcement about a property that Is right next to the property that the City of Englewood bough t... that Is on the corner of Zuni and Wesley. I had cal led them because they had blocked my house with theor refuse lrom their yard there. II took 2 months for the City Code lo take care ot It and I had talked to half of th e City managemenl aher a week after sayb · •~s slill there It took 2 months to get that taken care of So. If I wanted to walk on that block , I had to either nsk iwIsbng my ankle or stepping out of the way because of the stuff If I can up Code Enforcemenl and the City of Englewood about a prob(em I think that it should be taken care of with111 a reasonable amount of bme not 2 months And, in the past I had talked to Sanchez about these thmgs and he got on my case saying I was n,tpiCk,ng when I was like bleeding because bushes were overgrowing on the Sldewalk that I walk on and I got scratched up So, you know. I kind ol feel a lrttle frustrated nght now with lhe Coty or Englewood.

None Motion earned and the public hearing opened A, witnesses were duly sworn Oire;10r White said this Is a Council BIii for a proposed ordinance amending the section of the Unified Developmenl Code pertaining to flags As you know lrom ~t reading, the 810 has requested the displaying of flags on certain days dunng the month to ann ou nce the event that they are calling a sale day As you are also aware , the Code currently allows only the display of flags of cities. states and nations So. ,n o,der to accommodate the BIO request, an amendment to the ex,sting UDC provisions, dealing wtlh fiags, ,s necessary The Planning and Zoning Commission did hear this item back In September of this year and did recommend a couple of minor changes to the ordinance I should mention that the ordinance as drafted , and as contained in your packet, does not allow the type of flag that the BID actually wants to display There Is an Image of thlt flag contained within your packet We have drafted this ordinance without the benefit of thl~ tmage and we are trying to be very b•oad In giving the BID latitude In displaying nags. Whal would be necessa,y, In order to accommodate the flag t·,t ts being proposed by the BIO, is to amend the ordinance on second read,ng There was a lot of d1scuss10n abOut other bus inesses outside the BID disp laying or being able to display for "sale" signs And, as noted In the Councd Communlcallon, there ,s the ab<hly of a non-BID business to display a short- term advertIs,ng s,gn, which could be a ·sate· today type s,gn , for up 10 six. two week increments during the year A permit Is required for that type of sign and they are bmIled 10 wmdow or waH signs There are alSO • • • Englewood City Co uncil November 3, 2008 Pago 12 lrm 11a11on on coverage and size of thuse s,gns That bas ically concludes my brief presentation on wha1 this ordinance ,s aboul I would be happy 10 answer any questions you may have Mayor WoodWard said ate there any quest10ns for Alan al this lime? There were none Bob Laughlrn said I have a business at 3445 South Broadway I am 1usl br,ngtng a full s,ze copy a mock-up ... of what we are talking about for our banner lo display one day a month We have approximately 45 flag poles on Broadway that we display the American flag, th rough the Lions Club, I th in. for 11 holidays a year We have been using the Amencan flag on our Saturday sale just to create some kind of recognit10n when people drive by that there ,s something g01ng on That is why we would like to use the banner that we have designed here. that says ·sale" day II JUSt doesn't get the point across, ti 11 doesn't have the words on ~ So. I lhtnk thal ,s all I have to say about it We can leave this, If you need to look at rt a little more Mayor Woodward said jus t a quick questio n Bob. We have a picture of Iha banne r here. Is th,s dimension correct 24 inch width by 36 inches? Mr Laughhn said I believe that ,s what we have designed yes Thal Is what this comes out to Mayor Woodward said okay, thank you Councrl Member Wdson sa,d as I understand thrs • .it was gomg to be stra,ght across Was there a picture? Mr La ughlin said I thought the pictures were 1n you r packets I can distribute some Mr Laughlin said we had hoped to go straight out from the build ing, but I don't believe Iha! the exist,ng flag pole holders are strong enough to be able to hang them honzontally So, we will probably hang them at an angle hke a typical flag Council Member Wilson said I am supporuve of this banner I feel the BID has done a trerm,ndous amount of good for that area ar.d they have worked tog ether with the City and I feel that you do need something that actuall y says something to Identify th e sa le Mayor Woodward said do you have anything else to add Mr Laughl,n? Mr Laughlin said I don1 thmk so We will leave ,t up to your good )udgmenL but we are trying lo make ,t tasleful and uniform. in an effort to bring more attention 10 that section of Broadway to help the economy by conect,ng more sales lax. Thank you Mayor Woodward and Council M :11ber Wilson said lhank you Mayor WoodWard asked ~ there was anyone else who wanted to speak dunng the PubllC Heanng There was no one COU NCIL MEMBER JEFFERSO N MOVED, AND COU NCIL MEMBER WILSON SECONDED , TO CLOSE THE PU BLIC HEARING TO GATHER INPUT ON COUNCIL BILL NO. 69, AMENDING THE UNIFIE D DE VEL OPMENT CODE PERTAINING TO FLAG S IN THE SOUTH BROADWAY B USINESS IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT. Ayes Council Members Penn. McCaslln. Moore Woodward , Jefferson , WilSOn, Oakley Nays None Motion earned and Iha pubhc hearing closed Mayor Woodward said I would ~ke lo open It up for discussion nght now Mayor WoodWard said I have lhree ,terns that I would ltke to bnng up that maybe between Alan and Dan can be addressed I know that lhe BID originally, when they orlg1nally had this Idea, 1t was the Idea to have "sale" day on that . what I will call pennant. or nag , or whatever we wan t to call ,1 And it is my understanding, al the Public Heanng. somehow nobody showed up and that was nol conveyed lo P & Z or was nol totally clear And lhere was not a picture hke this or. at thal 1,me. the paper photograph of the s,gn So, lhere are three ,terns thal I wanl to 5U99est on lhts and I would hke lo see wllat the rest of CounaJ thinks about ,t A WOUid be to add lettenng whlCh was ,n the ong,nal slaff suggesbon lettering lhat ,s SpeClfte and 1t says ·sate· today Only those two words ·sale today 1ogether with lhe logo of the BIO My second ,tern would be to pul ,t anywhere ,n t+ie • • • Englewood City Council November 3, 2008 Page 13 City, a11adable for any business So. that may mean not only that ti would be the BIO logo ~ might be Brookndge Shopl)lng Center AsSOCJalK>n logo, If there Is such a thing and I don1 know that tnere IS If there 1snl there would be no logo There would not be a logo for a pnvate business. It would Just be ·sale· today and blank And the third item I would want to add Is what the BIO had originally done ... a11d lhe ongin~I store owner who had been doing this for some lime was doing this ••g last business day the last business Saturday of every month and only that day dunng the month So, I would tote to suggest that we change what we have, by adding these three ~ems amending this and going f01Ward from there So, I would Ike to open that up for d1scuss10n as far as those ideas Council Member Mccaslin said well I guess, since I kind of took the ball last time and said that I think that people south, that weren't part of the BIO, were kind of being left out I would like to see them open It up to the business owners there. I app<eaate that And Ted, I eat at the Breakfast Queen at least two or three bmes a week so f will not forget your area But I st1n want to make sure that the rest of Englewood Is .and I appr8Clale those amendments you have added ... I think those are fair, My big concern was the people In the soulh area that weren't part of the BID. Because if I was a new ov,.,er coming In with a business and I didn't know even how to start a BI0 ... and they didn't come to me and I wanted to do somethlng ..• at least It gives me the opportunity to hang a sign now So, t appreciate that Mayor Woodward said okay Mayor Woodward said is there any comments on the lettenng that says 'sale today" Quite frankly, I see no reason to have a nag up there unless it says that Council Member Oakley said after sitbng through the long d1SCUssion, and reading the f!'lll'lutes today as a refresher, I am of the opinion that IS why we decided to have a Pubhc Heanng, was so the 810 could come to us and give us their preference Because ,twas said lhat. .. the way the ordinance stands now you could not say 'sale day" on the banner, And that was what we we re going to try to get decided tonight. Is that where we are at or not? City Attomey Brotzman said if I can help a l1tUe on Council B11165, there was a Counc,I shOrt-term request And we prepared altemative languag e for you That is Whal you are talking about here, You are at a Pubhc Hearing and there Is no second reading tonight So, what we are talking eboul Is prepanng altemate language, similar to What you received on the other bill Mayor Woodwatd said correct •. so what I am llying to find is .. d there Is consensus among Coonal to come f01Ward with my suggesllons ... my three additions or something else. Council Member Penn said I would like to speak to that before we make some suggest10ns. I really support this I think this is a great idea for BIO. With what Bob said I really want ewry011e else to have the opportun~ to do this But the third thing you did, was you put It on the last Saturday of every month And I agree w~h llll:t, but I think sometimes there may be other tunes When they may need to display that and I think there should be a process for them to be able to come back and say we have Englewood Days coming for a week is there any way we can put this in? I don't know Ir that would happen, but I Just think we should put something in there that would allow them to come back and maybe do ,t another time during the month. That would be my only suggesbon Council Member Mccaslin said thal is a good question How come it's Just the last Saturday of e9ch month? Macy's advertises every day for a sate ... I'm like ... oh my God Macy's , Macy's ... ther advertise every sing le day for Macy's So tell me the history of why it's Just the last Saturday Cou11cll Member Jefferson said that Is what the BID feels would be most effectJve Council Member Penn said I think the consistency of having the sale on the last Saturday of every monlh ... and once they get that consistency I think their custome rs would get used to that But, again, I sl ate that maybe there may be one or two other times during the year that they might want to display that Oag Councij Member Jefferson said I would agree a, I generally feel that we shOutd allow some nex,bdrty to allow for the business owners to promote their bus1nes&cs • • • Englewood City Council November 3, 2008 Page 14 Council Member Penn said al least have a way for them lo come 1n a,d requesl lhat Council Member Jefferson sa id yes without having 10 go through lhIs type of process Mayor Woodward said I lh,nk Dress for less IS 1he one who started lt1s and they staned 11 some tome ago They did ,t through wo«I of mouth and handing out flyers They have been very successful with this and word has gotten around And I lhmk when the rest of the BID gel Involved and gol lhe idea thal lh1s may be somelh1ng and I think II ,s a pan of branding Eng lewood I can cena,nly see ,1 a year or lwo years from now lhe poss1bihty of throughoul lhe melro area hey, Englewood goes on sale lhe last Saturday of 1he month It Is 1he type of thing 1n my mind, lhat 1s pro-eoonomte develOpment bnng1ng people onto our community 10 purchase things Now Dan, correct J11e 1! I'm wrong , 1f somebody wanted to come rn rf somebody wanted 10 do lh1s nag more than once on some other day .. on a Monday ... on a Friday whatever .at other Umes •. they could come In, iust like they do 1or lhe banner going over Broadway I think they could even go In on perm1t11ng, couldni lhey? City Attorney Brotzman said not currentl / I !honk lhat Is what Randy ,s asking for ,s a mechanism to do someth111g sunilar Counc,t Member Penn said I don't want to stop th,s because ol that But I think 1f we allow them .say that they have one day ,n the year that they might want lo put this out extra I think we should afford them the ava1lab1hty to it But I won 't slop this from going through tonight because of lhal Mayor Woodward said rt won't go through tonighl we are Just hav,ng a d1scuss10n Mr Penn said I know but I mean just to contmue on Mayor Woodward said I think part ol the discussion and the concern of Planning and Zoning was lha l they didn't want something that would get out of hand And I think years ago possibly things hke sldewalk sales may have been a J)(Oblem Coty Attorney Brotzman said we can use the same mechanism tha1 we use lo approve sidewalk sales we can draft language on approving add1bonal days Council Member Mccaslin said can I ask for clanfocalion on that? How can ... if I am a business owner and I want lo have a sale today ... how ,s lhat gomg lo get out ol hand? I mean I'm go,ng to advertise a ·sate today" and then I'm going to have one Fnday and then I'm 901ng to have one next Tuesday Mayor Woodward said It isn't abOut that Whal lhIs is about Is hav,ng thts particular sign hanging out In front of their business Mr Mccaslin said okay Mr Woodward said If you want to have a sale today anJ you advertise In the newspaper or on the radio you can do thal Council Member Mccaslin said right .. but what I am saying .• you sa,d something abOut 11 getting out of hand And I'm Just wondering Mayor Woodward said no I'm saying the signs these nags hanging out or Mr McCaslon said too many days tn the week or Mr Woodward said dlfferenl days and ti starts IOsing the effect would be my Cou ncil Member Oakley said yes, from a practleai standpoint. as I see it and I'm just one person for these lo be effecbve, they have lo be displayed on a hmtted basis because otherwise they are going to become convnonplace If you dnve down Broadway one day of the week and there are an or these yellow flags with ·sa1e· wntten on them 11 ,s going to get your attenlion. But 1f they are there all the 1Ime after awhile nobody ,s going to pay any attent,on lo them CouncU Member McGasJ,n said so irs more for effect then Okay I mean that is JUSI a questoon when you say 11 Is out of hand rm telhng y<JU there are businesses that have sales every single day So, I am trying lo understand the dilemma of going some companies can do a sale every da y and we are on ly going to allow them on the last Saturday of the week ... I mean of the month I am )usl trying to understand It and why 11 would bea problem Council Member Wilson said they are Just trying 10 bnng people to the City al that point .. and ti Is branding and II ,s consistent. But the other thing , Counci l Member Jefferson said lhe business inside the BID Is free to have a sate on any other day just like any business would Ms Wilson said yes Mr McCashn said right they Just can't advertise II. Mr Jefferson said they JIISI can I have this sign Mr McCaslm said oh Okay I get ti Counci l Member Oak ley sa,d obv,ousty this Is a subject lhJI we are all interested ,n and we have had a lot of d1scuss1on about It ,n one session and we are beg1nn1ng to do the same thing here I might ma ke a suggesilcn • • • Englewood City Council November 3. 2008 Page 15 that we 1ry to st,ck to what the 810 had asked for the one day a month and tr.e for "sale" on the s,gn and then 1f that goes good and they want to come back to us wrth something else later they can always do that Mayor Woodward said I would like lo add !he rest of !he City Mr Oakley said oh , yes I have no problem with that Mr Woodward said okay Mayor Woodward sald I think Dan was saying something about and I th,nk you were interrupted about how you could handle you could draft some language .. which we would see at the next meeting and we could either accept It or not City Attorney Brotzman said tha t is correct Council Mem ber Wilson said I think the important thing 1s to move this forward , w,th the hOhdays corning So they can start us,ng thlS sign nght away Council Member Moore sa id I actually have d1fflculty with us mandating not mandating .. but dictating marketing mate11a l and specifying which day of the month It makes sense I'm struggling with how to I fully want to accommodate ... I respect the 8 1D's formation and their effort and I want to accommodate this rm haVlllg trouble when we extend beyond . and now we are JUSI maJong general the City's stepping 1n and just making general rules about marltet,ng in the City I find myseff uncomfoltable with that So, I'm actuaffy, oddly, more comforlllble 1f we narrowing address this towa rds the BIO. Again, 1n my mind, ii is recognition of the effort and the backing of that organiza tion. Now, the more we take off some of these res trictions ... the more we are defining marketing material for the businesses In the City and that doesn't feel right lo me either So, I struggle with that. I can't tel you why Saturday has to be the right day Maybe the nght marltebng thing IS Thursdays I'm not . from my Council seat.. dictating what's the right day of the month So, I lean more towards .. although, again ... I hate to add more adm1n1strabve burden to our staff and the resulling budgetary claims that that creates bul, I wou ld rather we have basic guidelines where we are saying .. here Is the ballpark or what 1s appropriate lndlv>Cluoliy review these requests and make sure they fil And then we could say .okay this nag on this day every Saturday, Is fine When we start writing In that you can write "sale today" and you can hang d on Saturdays In our City laws I don'! know I feel like I am overstepping my bounds Coun cil Member Jefferson said I generally agree and I would say that, also, by allowing for mo re flexibility, I think that just helps the private markets as well By allowing them nexit1l1ty to decide what Is best for their businesses I didn't think we were that far off when we started off JUSt saying a BID approved flag can be flown by a BIO business That's where we were ong nally and I'm not sured you are k,rd ot stepping back towards that or If that means you are considering something else Council Member Moore said Joe, to be honest, I am not completely sure I would be more comfortable If we did Just obey the p11nc1ples and say these are our, kind of, three guld,ng pr1naples and then we want 1t executi!d at an adm,mstrahve level Council Member Jefferson said okay I just kind of heard last time that we didn't want to anow too much nexibll1ty that was kind of the feedback I was gelling and now we are kind of on the opposite end of the spectrum .. right? Where we are say 1ng ... hey, maybe we are doing too much Council Mem ber Moo,e said not exacUy Because, 1f we had a discussion about principles. I would sllll be strongly advocahng I don't want anything that resutts tn this becoming JUSt a routine display across the City randomly I hke the BIO's I hke what they are trying to do 1n this case There 1s a unity, they want to come out in numbers. and this consistent message that I can sit here and say that makes sense Al the same time , 1n defining those principles, I want to be clear lhat I am not looking to have these banners all ove r the City everyone gets to chose which day of the month they use I am not sure exacUy where a debate :>n thOse pmclples would come out I just think that that would be we probably would be pretty ck>se 1n terms of what you have descnbed but t don't like putt1119 ·sate today' in the City .iws Coun cil Member Wilson said so, whal you are saying 1s, let's approve this and then 1f other peop le want lo come and do something similar, ll will be handled lnd1v1dually adm lmstrat1vely Counr.tl Member Moore said yes I would hke to say If we could turn around and say that we would be comfortable that thd process was put rn place that staff would approve this now how do we back lhat up to a pnnc1pl~ based lwet and say the gu1dehnes Counctl 1s giving 1s that 1t hands over that adm1mstrat1ve decision needs to r.ay what to adequately accommodate this but also restrict abuses that we might antocipale • • • Englewood City Council November 3, 2008 Page 16 Council Member Jefferson said I guess I'm Just nol sure where lo lake lhal as far as you know I'm 1nteresled tn getting these flags up as soon as possible 10 help our partners ,n our commumly So whatever the rest of Counc,I Is feelmg as far as whal can we do to gel this mov1ng along In that dorecbon Council Member Penn said I will withdraw my need lo do ,t anolher day , so we can make tl good Council Member Moore sa,a Mayor, do we have 1,me at lhe Study Session next week lo we ll, all right Joe I1as jusl pul on the table Whalever ,1 lakes to get lhls done fair .. no, no I agree wI1h lhat My thought would be If Council Is okay with this pnnc,ples based approach combined with lhe admmtslrahve discretion of Commun4y Development can we try to squeeze some lime on al the Study SesSIOl'I nexl week? Mayor Woodward said we don'I have a Study Session next week, we have an Execubve Sess10n on personnel matters the whole l ime. Counctl Member Wilson said can we move f01Ward on just this one and discuss olher businesses later? Mayor Woodward satd we can have Dan come forward with the language that we are talking about that would come fo,ward at our next regular meeting with a pk;k and choose . I think Council Member Moore said the problem Is one approach mOdifies this language to sl art Inserting frequency and banner language Inside of here .. lhe olher one Is more of a different approach . Perhaps, you can shll give us both Dan I don't know c,ty Attomey Brooman said we should be able lo Mr . Moore said okay alright so let's proceed With, basically, the app,oach where we have specific language to perm,t thrs ... whatever the general consensus was .and then a second attemattve that would step back, give higher level guidance from Counctl with an administrative procedure . Clly Attorney Brotzman sa id you will see that language and you wil l have It on second reading and lhen much like the presentation lonlght W lhey wanl to come back and kind of do a closing argument, since the hearing Is closed and lhe lesllmOny ts over much hlle they dtd on 65 you could do the same thing Mayor Woodward satd okay Bui, Council Member Wilson said , can we approve this at the ne xt meeting on second reading?

Do you measure two sides of the flag? Mayor Woodward said, from what I understood from P & Z and I ment10ned this to Dan today when I was talking to him I was going 10 suggest t 5 square feet ~ huge I mean, that Is big that 1s goong to be dragging over the sidewalk . people are goong to be goong through a curtain Counal Member Moore said they are only requesting 2 by 3 6 square feet Several COUIICII members were speaking at once C~y Attorney BrolZman said that they can adven1se on both sides Is the key and we will work that out Counci l Member Moore said okay I want to be clear we don't end up with 15 square foot on one side So IJ 11 1s understood lhat that Is what that means Mayor Woodward said I think we can go with 12 I was goong to suggest changing that 15 to 12 and we are shl covered Council Member Moore said 11 we do that can we make ,t clear that 1s measuring both sides of the flag?

I don 't know If they have an association they may Ors >meth,ng over al Centennlal...may And lhal would be similar to a BID .. where they, as bus,nesses, pay for advertising together and dolferent things loke that These, again being str,p meaning mat they are entered from the exteno,, ,nto the front door and out agaJn Council Member Moore said I just thlllk that the more we talk about ~ that way we are )Ust moving 10 saying thrs ,s JUSt a norma~ pennlss,ble means of advertising your bus,ness And th,s IS something that we have dellberalely not perml!led ,n lhe past And ,n trying to ar.commodale whal ,s, arguably, a narrow request, we are tum,ng around ... we Just keep broadening ii .. 10 be fairer we keep broadening ,t and now we are Just go,ng to •ake ,t anolher permissible form of advertlsing .once we do that, I can't say why Saturday is better than Sunday or Tuesday .. It's th e slippery slope Issue Mayor Woodward said okay, Counc,I MemberW,lson said so we can't Just approve BIDS we have to make ,t .. I mean to approve this faster, can we )USt deal w,th this SJgn and look at the broader v,ew later?

I am going to hold It to .. we are c nly permitting in the BID circumstance t know If we are going lo start talking aboul broadening ,t I am goin!J to start talking about the other principle based 1Ssues So, ,r Council really wants to say .. we want th,~ ~ s quiek as possible I'm wilhng to say . as long as we very narrOWly wnte to this one and come back to the broader issue I'm okay wrth that The moment we start broadening It 11 thts first go around I'm going to push lor my version of rt, as weH And that IS what bogs us down Counc,I Membe< Wilson said the thing Is 100. no one else Is co,mng to us and wanted to do anything So. because the BID has taken this time and come to us and shown us something and have a prolocol that we should try to work with them . when they a,e going to pay for half of our Chnstmas decorat ions, buying bike racks you know really helping the City grow positively and pedestrian fri,mdly downtown ...

I'd hke lo propose .. aga in . what I said last week .. but , make 3 B number 4 ... get ii off , out of the flag and I don 't know ... I mean if we actually then use flag's, number 4 ... tha l's fine ... ! don't know .. Jim may have said banne~ear lier. .. I'm not sure . Bui number 4 would basically still stay with Ci ty approved Business Improvement Districts ... limited in size to 12 square feet on a two sided basis ... lim ited to display on Saturday , .. whatever the Satu rday was ... and would perm ii the language ... ,t would be permissible to have the Bl D's emblem , "sa le today· on there , So, we just very narrowly accommodate this sltuatlon ... get it goin g and then come back and approach it more holistically So , that's the language we need to see fo r the first orde r.

City Attorney Brotzman sa,d ,t would be because that 1s what the ong,nal ordinance Is addressing . And that languag e is explanatory to Council, not contained In the language lhat will appear in lhe ordinance I'm sorry, the ordinance apphes to all R-1 Zone o,stncts. so k applies across the board Mayor Woodward said It applies across the board, but I guess with the restrictions, does It make sense for a 75 foot lot frontage or larger to have this type of res triction on II That is my question Attorney Brotzman said then you can narrow It to that one Zone District Mr Woodward said okay Council Member Moore said can you clanfy for me ... the second alternative ,s intended , I'm sorry, 11 wou ld provide no exceptions for lol w,d lh in what circumstances? As presented .. all R-1 A, Band C, right? Mayor Woodward said nght This would be the restrictions would be for R-1C These restrlcilons with regard to properties without rear alley access , because k Is a 50 foot lot whlCh could be 5% less.

I'm sorry Mr Moore said that was nol what that was meant to say?

I do beheve that the 5% excepi,on IS in ltne wtth the Comp Plan Roadmap 2003 I clo think It gives us the opportunity to provide a different type ol hous,ng Hous,ng stock ~ nnportant and I think this addresses some ol 11-" problems espeaa:ly with hav1119 the problem o! looking at a garage Counal Member Oakley said J,m. when we apply this to al R· 1 zoning. you can rllld places In this town In R- I that front loading garages are the norm, cenain!y, maybe w,th 10 houses on each Side 90% ol them have front loading garages. So a hOUse could be bulll III that area and be the norm If we are talking about how something looks, you have lo apply rt to the whole City and not JUSt this one particular area Mayor Woodwatd said I am looQ1g at that. because tlllS IS basteally changing the size ol that lot So. ,f you look at a ne,ghborho~d ;,nd let's s&y, for example north of Kenyon on Galapago, there are later model homes there wtth a lol ol lrOflt i.J.lding garages garages on the fronl If there was one that came along that needed to have that 5~. wt,;:• •~•s IS saying 1s that to have that garage provtded that there osn1 an <1lley and I don't llwlk theie Is an aUey t~e~ that garage ,s going to have lo be set bad(. so the houses, the majontf of what you are 5'!el"!I ,ro,,., the street $Ide not the garage Counctl Member t.'oore said Wayne JU$1 to danfy. rt was only the ,~st altemahve that Jun is nc,t tatkwlg about thal had a func tion of the neighbors The second alternauve 1sn'l boUnd by whether Of not the bloc!< JS predomonalety front garage or nol d Iha! helps Councd Member Qakley said I guess that would help to a certain degree, but I guess I can·1 see the advantage d 90% of the houses on the bloa<. already have front loading garages, that the garage is even w4h the front of l/1e house what good is It going lo do lo restnc;t one person lo put his garage back to the back of the house II would take a hundred years tor that to ever balance out to where that would be the nonn on the ne,ghbomood Mayo, Wooelwa<tl saJd ti may not be the norm III Ille neighborhood because the house we are discuSS1ng here 1s not the n?rm Council Member Oakley said In this partJcular Instance Mayor Woodward said wen., the instance of ttus OllWla'lCe which IS a 5% admon<strallve Counal Member Oakley said okay, I see thal But I submrt to you that you have a 50 foot lot, which IS basocaHy the norm ,n this town. that you can dnYe down any block ,n this town that has some orregutar Siled lots or you can even walk down the block and ,f they are only W1llm 5%, Y1SUaly you cannot tel the difference because the offsets of the1r houses are the same Ycu woolcl have to take a tape measure an:! actually get out and measure the lot to know d ~ 1s a 48 foot tot or a SO foot lot So 10 me.. that is what we are ~ at We are looking at try,ng to do some infils and tty,ng to redeveto~ some of our properties and doing 111n a manner that w,11 not restrlCl the values and W1U not deprade the ne,ghbomood and I sut,m,t to you that a S'lrt IS not enough to do that Now in !hos one partJcular case up here II may be different but when you are looking at the City as a whole that ,s hOw I see 1t • Englewood City Council November 3, 2008 Page 23 Counc<I Member Wi son saod I guess I would hke 10 make a few commenlS nus has been a really 1ough srluatoon, because al first I was thinking the 5% wasn't thal big or a deal, then I was going to the fact that 11 we changed where the garage was l~al lhal would help with thal Bui I honestly believe lhe only ,ssue that has come bef01e us W11h this has been Curnow and I haven't heard anyone request lhat I know of 01 I guess that we have been told who have asked f01 a vanance I oppose 1h1s I am not go,ng 10 vole for ,t I don'l think 11 rs necessary I think that Ii was never put Into motoon to begin w1lh and codified I think I would have to hear more positive thongs about it I understand the people coming fo<lh and I understand their concerns and I hear them, loud and clea1. I feel thal you know, how do we know that the ma)Ollty of the people don't feel hke that We don't On heanng both sltles of It, I would have to vote against ot Council Member Moore said your Honor, ma-1 t add somelhong Mayor Woodward said you may. Mr Moore said actually Jill, I agree with you This has been very tough. In listening to the testimony I think the residents' primary concern really relates to lhe UDC st'andards of the houses lhat can be built under our UOC One of the neighbors spoke very highly of her 100 foot lol but the reality is that that neighbor has the r,g~I to splrt that Into two lolS wrthoUI gelt!ng neighbor's approval, It is a nght that ,s already with that lot, so I personally struggle w,th In', Ide a lhal the next door neighbor, who has a 99 fool lot, doesn't have that same right I think that disadvantage that Is a result Just of essentially the natural platting of the land that doesn't feel right to me e11her and I think that the adm111istrabve process that we are proposing would have made sense and also I tlo respect the cmzen input that we get from Planning and Zoning But all that said, I respect when the citizens come out and speak so passionalely about !heir cause and uniformly. So actually, despite the fact that I think this ,s a posotlve ... would have been a posibve step In tenms of the redevelopment of our housing stock in Englewood, I don' see enough mowation to push th11 forward We have clear representation of cdJZens opposing rt and I think that we can extrapolate and expect that from other areas and I don't hear a st rong demand thal, you know, that a 99 foot lot owner ... that there are a lot of them out there needing this right So, Hke Ms Wilson, I wiN not be supporting lhis amendment And again, , ealy valuing the Input of the neoghbomood not fUSI wrth respect to what It means for this property, but what I take from that in terms of what ,t would mean ,n other neighborhoods as well. Council Member Penn sa,d I too, wil not suppor1 the way It Is wntten herr I iust can't do that But woth one of lhe things that I came on the City Councll v.llh .. , was to try to enhance th, housing stock In Englewood. I do like some of the suggestions that Jim has made and I think we should take a look at that but I would not support ot as written here. but I would look at the stuff that J,m ,s proposing Council Member Mccaslin said I agree . My wife and I moved from Highlands Ranch and I have been accused sometimes of trying to bring Highlands Ranch to l:nglewood whlCh I am not let me get th3t straight because I've had an article wrrtten about that, that's not llue Bu1 I would also oppose thos as wntten. Now of we go back and see if we can help out some of the develope;s that wanl lo bul right now I would oppose this JOncil Member Oakley said ,I we getting the consensus that we feel that we should do something ,n this area, bJI we can't support rt as written, can we pull It and try to come up wilh something we all can support? Council Member Wilson sax! I don, feel that I can support the 5% vanance. I would like to see cer1aon standards and not huge amounts of standards, but slmdar to what we put Into effect for the duplexes put ,n for the Musing, because I do think that is an Issue and people don't want to see garages But there has not been a stroog push for the 5% variance I have n~t heard that is a problem So. while I would loke to see the garages not in the front I don't knoN that the variance is a problem I mean that I don't lh,nk the 5% variance IS needed I don't see builders coming and asking for ,t or heard th&t when I had that housing comm,uee Council Member Oakley said as I remember thlS, It was somelhong that we decided to lrf to be proactJve on and thought this would be a way of doing tt Now, ~ we have changed our minds on that I think at one tome, we all thought th is was a proactive lhlng to do. Council Member Jefferson said I agree and I guess I sbll !honk thal you know, for a polocy for the entore Coty that allows for small variances ,s not a bad idea That rs why I kond or like this a1terna1,ve one It allows for clllzen feedback or a hearing on particular issues w~ere there ,s a problem and that can be used to allow lor c,t,,en input • Englewood City Councll November 3, 2008 Page 24 Mayor Woodward said you are saying, A1terna11ve t? Council Member Jefferson said correct and that 1s iust conslderatJon shall include and I 1us1 kind of like the fact thal 11 w,U take lhe eslhl!llcs of lhe neighborhood and lh1ngs of that nature into conslderabon 1n help1r,g make thal dec1s10n of to allow or nol allow a parucular vanance 111 any s,1ua1ion But. I am generally of lhe feeling that we do have some odd lo1 sizes in the City and lhat I agree lhal you can t 1en the difference between a 99 foot lot and a 100 foot lol And the footprint of the bu1td1ng would be very s,m1lar in those s1tuauons, so I Just don't see tha1 being such a problem everywhere like 11 1s 1n the situation that we've heard aboul So, I woul~ generally be supportive of allowing for the 5% rule with allowing for citizen feedback and lhe opportunity 10 be heard Cou ncil Member Wilson said and are you saying who would approve lhal because citizens.. Council Member Jefferson said f guess lhat Is a totally separate issue, because t did read the memo from Mr Smtth , f think It was, sayir,g tnat the Board of Adrustment and Appeals would be the appropriate body for those type of heaflr,gs I feel like rt is a totally separate ISSue though Perhaps we can Just focus on how Council feels about generally allowmg 5% variances and you know, where we an kll'ld of shake out on that first 1Ssue Mayor Woodward said Dan, can you address Mr Smith's teller and the consequences of that? City Altorney Brotzmar. ,aid pnor to the UOC, variances were ~IIOwed lo actually take lh1s 5% .. ,t could be any percentage. Into account II was simply a lots,. variance Under t:,e UOC a lot size variance, Council determined, was no longer appropriate. They didn't want that In the Code anymore .. much like this rl iscusslon Is taking pface on whether that is appropriate or not ll was removed from the Code. So lot size variances disappeared What Mr Smith Is recommending is allowir,g the Board of Ad1ustment, wtth their current cntena , to consider lot size vanances So you have to meet the cntena set forth for the Board of Adjustment ond Appeals But Mr Smith Is not lom1hng this to R-1 O1strtcts. he IS saying, 111 all d1stncts that should be a!owed as a variance cntena Mlayor Woodward said and your opuuoo of that? Attorney Brotz=n said tt's neither good nor bad d ,s a poricy question The difficulty ,s. It 1s so radicaly different than what you have before you that that rea0y needs to go back to Planni ng and Zoning, rather than Just trying to draft lar,guage to address that Council Member Moore said that was a policy dec,s,on 10 move that out of BOA's . Attorney Brotz man said right Mayor Woodward said ckay Mayor Woodward said so, I guess what I have heard 1s wt!h regard to Council 8111 No 65 I beheve there ,s a consensus .. not supporting ti as written Council Member Wilson said I am not go,ng to support the 5% variance Mayor Woodward said as wntten Several Counctl memben, spoke at the same time Or, Councd Member Jefferson said, 1n any other format I think 1s what she ,s try,ng to say Severa l Council members spoke at the same t,me Council Member Wilson said I am not supporting It I don'I see thal there Is Other Counci l members have men honed It .. that nothing has come forward And being en the housing committee with builders that, lhat was never an issue They would much rather see the alleys paved So, I don't think 11 ,s necessary I do think that It ,s necessary to have certain standards, such as garages ,n fronl but to me that 1s a whole different issue than the 5% vanance Mayor Woodward said are there any suggestions on any changes or are we ready to vote? Is the quest10n ready to be called? Se,eral Council members said I am ready to vote Counc il Member Moore said personally I am not opposed 10 Council con:tderlng these other issues. but I personally think. at this point, we put this one to bed If we come back and s1;,,1 r,~.~ start ccns,denng such 1mp,ovements any improvements for our housing stoel\ and other cons1dera11ons. we JUSt do that with a fresh m,nd some other time Mayor Woodward said okay • • Englewood City Council November 3, 2008 Pago 25 Mayor Woodward said any other comments? Counc,I Me'Tlber Jefferson sa1d I heard maybe Wayne and I generally thought that the 5% variance 1s a reasonably good idea policy for the City Is there any des,re from any other Councll members ,~ , ,rsue that In any form? Mayor Woodward said now I would have a desire lo pursue It In some sort of form . but ,1,! .,IS Council Member Jefferson said so that being said then whal IS the Mayor Woodward sa1d well hi' ,t lhmg 1s that what I had proposed , there are no mol1ons on 11. Nobody has made a motion for either one , eave had some discussion Council Member Oakley said I th,nk from my standpoint, that 1s the reason I suggested possibly pullinq this .. because If you read these and you read them again and yo u read again, It Is llke my confus ion on , ,. one question t~ • I asked •. I am not sure that I can d8Clde now that, you know, my feelings are not being swayeo by lawsutls or .inythlng el se And I sympathize with these people's views and their standpo,nL I am tryJng to look al w!lal Is best for the City . If this was a proacwe thing and we all agreed on 1t six months ago, before this all came up, then In my mind, It is still a proactive th ing and we ought to come up with some kind of a compromise where we can do II. So, If 1t is voted down tonight, then n Is just dead and ll 1s not a proac1r.1e thing anymo,e I'll sbU vote yes, because of that, not even fully agreeing Wllh It. but n Is a pnnc,ple thing we decided 1t was proactive at one hme and I shll think 11 1s.

The l\vo weeks o( the Summer Food for Fines program covers the last week of the public school year and the first week of vacations, a time during which students and teachers are deaning out their desks and lockers in preparation for the summer break and numerous overdue Library materials are located, whereas the two weeks of the Winter Food for Fines program traditionally covers the period in between the Thanksgiving and Christmas hollda1-s. Historlca:!y, each of these I\VO biannual ""ents average!, S 1,000 10 $1,500 ln donated fooc! Items for the In ter fait h Community Services food bank. RECOMM ENDED ACTlON The Library Department recommends City Council approve a resolution authorizing the library IJepartment to Implement its 2008 Winter Food for fines program from Monday, December 1 through Su nday, December 14. BACKGROUND, AN.4LYSIS, AND ALTERNATl\'ES IDENTI FI ED For the past 18 yea rs, the fllglewood Public Library has provided Its "Food for Anes• program as a way for those patrons \\ilh fines on their overdue EPL materials to "pay• them off through the donation of non-perishable food items that are, in turn, forwarded to ln1erF.1ith C.ommunity Services for their •food bank" d11tribution to financially disadvantaged families in the Englewood area. Fol io" ing 2003's increase in maximum Overdue Fines from $2 10 $5, the Library Board requested that lhP number of food lt~ms required to pay off a single Overdue charge also be increased beglnnrng with the 2004 Winter Food fo r Fines program, e.g. it now takes two food !tems to cancel out the late charges {not lost or damaged charges) on one overdue item. These food hems must be presented to the library Staff at the Circula tion Desk In order for the fines h> be cleared from the patron's computer record. TI1ls program has been warmly received and supported by the public since its inception, and Library patrons now look forward to it as a way of helping others while relieving their own financial obligations. TI1us, th e program presents a positive Image of the Library and the City and Is a "win-win" situation for everyone involved.

PR EVIOUS PLANN ING COMMISSION ACTION ·,e Planning and Zoning Commission opened a Public Hearing on September 16, 2008, to consider the proposed amendments to lltle 16: Unified Development Code (UDC). The Commissior, c<.>n~luded the Public Heari11g on Octob~r 21, 2008. By a vote o( 9 -0, the Commis•a.;r re~ommended forwarding the propo$ed Title 16 amendments to City Council. RECOMMENDED ACTION This Is a recommendation from the Community De,elopment Department to adopt a blD for ordinance autliorizmg amendments to Title 11 tpubhc Ways and Property), Title 15: Hea lth (Sanita tion and Environmenta l Protection), and Title 16 (Unified Development Code) regarding hard surface st.lndards, and an amendment to Title 16 regarding max,mum commercial\ ehicle weight in resldential zones. Staff further requests that Council set a public hearing for December 1, 2008 to gather public lnpul on these amendments. BACKGROUND The proposed amendments are intended to coordina te terms and definrtion~ used rn various Titles of the Englewood Municipal Code. Hard Surface Four amendments are proposed 1n three Titles dealrng "rrh 1 u• race dm e--, ay and parking pad st,rndarcls Cu rr ently each Title uses similar but Inconsistent l,111guage to discuss parking surfaces, Including allowed materials. ThlS inconsistency creates interpretation and enforcement conflicts among die three Codes. l11e propos ed amendments coo rdina te the deunrrlon of l1ard surface and Its usage In the (MC. With thP am~ndments, the term \\ill mean ·a durable surface of concrete, asphalt bric k pa, ers, or similar alterna1e malerials appro, ed bv 1he CII\ •. TI1e proposed amendments support the objech,e 1hat drr.e\\a\ and parking pad surfaces be cons1ruc1ed oi materials lhal do not •'asily erode or de1erlora1e, or spread debris Into the public way as vehicles enler the street. Commercial Veh1de We1gh1 The EMC conlalns severa l refe rences 10 the maximum weight of commerc ial vehicles re lative 10 where 1hey may be parked, All references except 16-5-4.Olc( 1) of 1he UOC use a maximum we1gh1 limit of i,000 pounds. In addition, the Gty util,zes lhe 7,000 pound weight lim11 on posted traffic signs" hen restricting truck trafric In certa in areas. The amendment to Title 16 is proposed in the ln1erest of consis1ency, ease of enforcement and conserva1:on of resources since the lraffic signs already use the 7,000 pound limit FINANCIAL IMPACT No financial impacts are anticipated from the adoplion of the proposed amendments.

The request tonight is tha t the Commission rev iew, take public testimo ny and forward to City Council a recommendation for appro\al of the proposed amendment. The Planning and Zoning Commission is authorized by th e UDC 10 review and make recomme11da tions to City Council regarding updates to the UDC. The amendments are intended to coordinate UDC te rms and definitions with other Titles of the Englewood Municipal Code. Please r :>te that recent "housekeeping• amendmen ts revie" ed by Planning and Zoning Commission are not included in 1he text o f th e proposed amcnclmen l s as adoption of proposed "housekeeping" Ordinance is not complete at this time. Two topics are addressed in this UDC amendment proposal, (1) maximum \,eight of a commercial vehicle allowed to be pa rked on residen tial property and (2] hard Sllriact• driveway and parkin g pad standards. VEHICLE WEIGHT The proposed amendment to 16-5-4.O2c(l ) modifies the maximum \\eight oi a comm<·rc1,1I vehicle stored on property in any resldent l.al zone dis trict from 6,000 pounds In -000 pounds. Mr. White said the only place in the Englewood Municipal Code where ,ehicle weight limits are res tric ted to 6,000 pounds is in Tille 16. Elsewhere 111 th!! Code J11tl 11affic signs use the vehicle weight limit of 7,000 pounds. In add111on, the Coty u111i7t>s J -,ooo pou·1d weigh t hmit v hen rest rictin g tr uc k traffic in ce rtain area s.

The request tom ght 1s that the Commission review, take public teslimom and forward to City Col/ncil J recommt!ndat,on for approval of the proposed amen dment The Planning and Zoning Commission i1 authorized b1 the UDC to review ancl m,1ke recommendauons to City Council regarding updates 10 the UDC. This topic was discussed with the Planning and Zoning Con1111isslo11 al a study session on August 5, 2008. There was some discussion about including merchant associations, but upon further reflection by Staff they felt that should not be 111cluded 111 the Orcl1nance as there 1s really no control of merchant's associations by the City. The Business Improvement District wants lo displa1 •salt D,~• flags ,>ne day per monlh • \\lthin the Business District.

Mr. \.\'hue offered to answer an\ questions the Commission might ha, e. Mr. King said in an effort to make it eas ier on Code Enforcement, since II seems tl1,11 the conventions in th is particular elect ion cycle are approximately 60 days from the election day, the Code sa1s elections signs shall not be posted more than forty-ft1e (45) calendar days prior to the election date, would it make sense to extend that date out to 60 days. Mr. Brick said he also saw tha l and it is a violation and code e nforcement should go arou11d and collect the signs. Mr. Welker said there probab ly have bee11 signs up continuous ly for three months or more already this year. Mr. White said it has been discussed at study session that the who le sign code needs to be updated. Th e Commissio n decided lo leave corporate flags a11d other sign issues for when the entire sign ~ode is discussed. H~ sJid he wou ld be happy 10 ta ke a recommendallon back to Staff regarding the electiori signs, but tonight's discussion is in regards to the "Sale Day• flags.

CA PITA L IMPROVEMENT PRO!ECTS {ii Mr. White stated there is a section 111 the Charter that requires the Plan111ng and Zoning Commission to submit a list of recommended capital projects to the City Manager . Mr. While introduced Mr. Flaherly, Deput) City Manager . Mr. Flahcrly said one of his funct ions at the City is to provide for Initial review of capital project requests and to make preliminary recommendations that go lo City Cou 11cil. Mr. Flaherty revie\, ed the two spreadsheets included in the meeting packet One i~ a very detailed and extensive spreadshee t that lisls all capital projects on a cil)•w1de basis, including those that are proprielary, enterprise, special revenue and restricted funds. The projects for which you have authority to recommend on rela le 10 r-unds 30 and 31. Fund 30 is the Publ ic Improvement Fund and Fund 31 is lhe Capita l Projects Fund. The second spreadsheet identifies all of the projects th at were subm itted by dep~rtment directors for 2009 consideration. The total number of pro1ects submitted has a dollar figure o f neJrl)• $8.7 million Unfortunately, the Cit) only has about S2 m11hon to spend. Re, enue projections for 2009 are just slightly 0\ er S2 million, whir, is considerably lower than It has been in most recent years . Slightly more than $4 million was approved m 2008 for public improvement capital projecls funds. The source of funding for c~p1tal improvement and publi c improvemen t funds come from the PIF or th e use lax fund s. Revenues for 2009 we re pres en ted . Total proiects recomme nded at this time amount to $1 ,998,980. Council has not acted on this yl't and could very \,ell make changes. The recommendeo proJecls were re\1ewed. Mr. Flaherly said the Plannlnij and Zoning Comm1s~ion's recommendations are cer1a111I)' of value to Cl 1y Counci l an J to 1he City Mana ger's office and we appreciate your time.

It probabl1 would be better brought to a stud1 session and if "e 11eeded to do some1hmg officral \\e could do rt in a publ ic hearing fo rmal. Mr. Flahert\ said he would certainly accept those criticisms and try to pro,rde better information in the future Mr. White aske d the Commission if there was something 1hey h~ve rece ived in the past that was in a belier format Mr. Wel~er said whe11 you look al a spreadsheet that each page is two pages honzontally with no headings it is virtually a chore to try to straighten it out He said he would rather see it in microprin t and use a magnifying glas~ to read, plus he said he did no r know wha1 1he code, Jnd abbreviations mean t He said he virtua ll1• co ul d 1101 prepare for the meeting ,, 1h \,h_ was brought to him.

Mr. White asked if a summary would ha,e been easier to understand Mr. Welker said something that was decipherable, with a legend so th at the Commission could understa11d, and identification of which ca tego ries we were loo~ing at. Mr Flahert1 said the inclusion or all the City-11 ide funds probabl1 should not lia, e bc1•n 111cluded because you are no t laking ac11on on all of the funds.

Show rnformation !n a context that is more than one year. 3. Present in a form the Commission can understand. 4. Present information in a umelier manner. Mr. Brick said on the 2009 Prehmina1r Capital Projects Recommendation Revised cha rt is would be helpful to sort by department as it would be easier to read. Mr. Flaherty said they were intended to be al least marginally prio ritized, but if you prefer by department we could certainly do that. Mr. Bri ck said since the priority number was not Included 011 the spreadsheet we did not understand that. Mr. Welker said part of the Commission's role is to establish tha t prionty so 1f you give the list to us in an order we have to look at It in I have a problem wi th that. He sa id he would like to see the list before the City sets the priorities. Mr . Flaherty said if the Comm issio n would like to see the iter.1, as they were submitted by each department he would be ha ppy to do that. Mr. Brick said he would like to see 11 by departme nt and by priority. /\Ir.

October 21 , 2008 .,,.-•· Case 2008-11: Title 16: Urnfied Development Code Amendments Related to Hard Surface and Commercial Vehicle Weight RECOMMENDATION: Staff requests that the Planning and Zoni ng Commission reopen the public hearing. review, take public testimony, and forward to City Council a recommendation for adoption of the attached p roposed amendmen ts to Title 16: Unified Development Code (UDC) of the Englewood Mur,icipal Code related to hard surface and commercial vehicle weight. BACKGROUND: The public hearing for Case 2008-11 was opened on September 16, 2007. Members of the Commission questioned the adequacy of the definition of the term •commercial , ehicle" and other issues relat in g to the maximum weight of a commercial vehicle stored on residentl,1I property. The Commission voted to continue the public h ea ri ng to October 2 1, 2008 so that staff coul d research and address their concerns. During the O c tober 7, 2008 study session Community Development staff requested additional time .o prepare a thorough analysis or the is Jes including commercial vehicle definition, weight and. or size limits, conflict and compatibility \\1th other Titles of the Englewood Municipal Code, and obtain Code Enforcement and Police Department input. By consensus the Commission agreed to reopen the public he,1ring and consider the proposed amendments on Oct ober 21, 2008. Staff will bring the l,1rger issue of commercial vehicles in residential distric ts back to the Commission at a later dJte. Pursuant to 16-2-1.84 of the Engle1,ood Municipal Code, the Commission is authonLed to revIe1, and make recommendations to City Cc.uncil regarding updates to Title 16: UDC.

ANALYS IS: Vehicle We1gh1 The proposed amendment to 16·5-4.D2c ( 1) mod1i1es the ma\imum weight of a commercial vehicle stored on property in any residential zone district from 6,000 pounds to i,000 pounds. Chapter 6: Vehicles oi TIiie 11 : Public Ways and Property makes se,eral references to ,ehicle "eight limit of 7,000 pounds (70 cw.I.). In addition, the City utilizes a 7,C'flQ pound "eight limit when restricting truck traffic in certain areas The amendment to Title Hi 1s proposed in the interest of consistency, ease of enforcement of regu lations, and conse" ation of resources since the traffic signs already use the 7,000 pound limiL For informational purposes, c.w.1. is the abbreviation for hundredweight," here wt is weight and c stands for one hundred, as In the Roman numeral C being equal to t 00. A hundred\, eight is equal 10 100 pounds. Hard Surfpce • The Commission recently discussed dri,e-,ays and parking pad materials within tne • UDC "Housekeeping" amendments. The ..:ommission recommended that dirt. gravel and grasscrele surfaces be prohibited for driveways and parking pads, The in tent was that driveway and park ing pad surfaces should be of a hard material so not to easily e rode. The material should also be durable so not to readily deteriora te or spread material into the publ ic way as a vehicle enters the street. Three proposed amendments relahng to hard surface driveway and parking pad standards are part of a set of amendments to lltles 11, 15 and 16 designed to use the same terms throughout the Englewood Municipal Code. Previously each Title used similar but not the same IJnguage to discuss p~rk111g surfaces. ll1is created issues with interpretation as well as enforcement of th e various Codes. As purposed, each Title would use the same language for hard surface, as related to driveways and parking pads. The term "ill mean "a durable surface of concrete, asphalt, brick pavers, or sim ilar alternate materials approved by the City". This language modifies the recommended "housekeepin g" amendment language with the inclusion of brick pa,ers, but retains the basic 1111ent of that recently recommended amendment. • • • PROPOSED AMENDMENTS: 16-5--1: A ccessory Uses.

The plan meets all Englewood Municipal Codes The Planning and Zoning Commission review must determine if the request is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and meets the tlve criterion found in 16-2 -12 Conditional Use Permits. The plan does support the goals of the Comprehensive plan in the following ways: I . The proposed use ,,ill create a balanced mix of businesses and 2. Improve the building stock in the 1-2 district. The Five criterion tha t must be met are; 1. The use must be permitted as a Cond itional Use in the zone district In which it is proposed to be located: Table 16-5-1.1. Table of Allowed Uses, a waste llansfer statron is permitted within the/. 2 zone districl 2. The Cond itional Use will not create signifi cant adverse impacts on existing or future development. The transfer stdtion is expected to generate approximately 300 vehicle trips per day. 200 of tlt ese trips will be waste uucks. 50 semi-uailer (uansfer) uucks and 50 mixed vehicles. The quantity of rrafiic generated by th e proposed transfer sldtion will be dispersed fair ly evenly throughout th!! day. The peak oi rh e rrairic is expected to occur dfler the morn 1g rush hour with a significant drop befo,e the evening rush hour. The number of vehrc:e trips per day does not exceed trafilC generation beyond what would be genen1ed by a u,e-by-right in the zone d,surct. A tra11,c study 1Vas complet ed in June 2008.

Tan stated this projec t has bee n a long time in the making. We frrs t approached the Oe,elopment Re,ie-, Team back in September of 2007 to get their preliminary comments on the project. Srnce that time we have con tinued our discussions with rn divid ual mem bers of the tea m. \Ve have had meetings with Aud ra Kirk in zoning, Ladd Ves try in traffic and Larr\ 1'immo In engineering.

The projec t docs meet the Englewood Mur,ici pal Code requireme nts for ap proval of a Cond itional Use. He stated he \\OUld briefly summarize what the use is we are talking abou t to clarify an\ misconcep ti ons tha t may be out th ere. We are proposing a transfe r sta tion. This Is completely differen t from a landfill. The purpose of a transfer station is to provide a destination for drop oi1 of solid waste. After it is dropped off ii is gathered and placed in transfer trucks and transported to the landfill, which is the pe rman ent des tination. This means that th• waste doesn't stay on si te for more than a maller of hours and by state la" "ill not be on site for more than 24 hours. In addmon. it's important 10 point out tha t the tramfer stJ~on will not accept any hazardous" aste or any liquid waste -\t this time ,\'r Tan began his slrde presentation.

Mr. Tan said yes un less he needs assista nce with any of your questions. Mr. Welker said he had a number oi <;uestions; some them ope•.:;,ional. ,\Ir. Ed Dolan, PresidPat of All Recycling South was sworn in. Mr. Welker asked what "processing waste• means. r.. Ir. Dolan said In this far,ltty the processing primarily would be to consolidate smaller loads of waste into one larger load so it can be transported more efficiently through the City out to a landfill . Also, at this facility we will be recycling metals. We will be using equipment to p'iysically remove metals from the waste stream and divert thc,m from the landfill. With a facility such as this, and in the future depending on commo<J1ty prices, landfill costs, fuel costs, etc. we may want to explore diverting more materials out of the waste stream I\ 1r. Welker asked Mr. Dolan to basically go through how the waste haulers dump and from that point how it is consolidated, recy cled and loaded onto trucks. Mr. Dolan said commercial haulers will be coming across a truck scale to be weighed. That " ,I determine the rate that the\· will pay. When they come in they will untarp their loaJs, 0j)en their tailgates and dump onto what we c.ill the tip, ·,g Hoor, which is inside tlie building. A tipping flo o r is a solid concrete noor. He pointed out u,e area on a slide. Genera l public, pick up trncks and trail ers will be segregated !11 another area Some sc t of physical barrier will be constructed so that they are not dumping \\here the comniPrcial haulers are dumping. Once the load has been dumped onto the Upping Hoer some type 01 grapple n,achine, such as the one we use at our facil ity in Adams County, will remove me tals 10 be recycled . After that a loader will push the waste to a loading area and dump It o, er the top of sem,-lra,lers. ~•.r. \\'el~er asked if they crush the Y.asle .

This proposed amendment to l 6-5-4.D2c( 1) modifies the maximum weight of a commercial vehicle stored on property zoned residential from 6,000 pounds to 7,000 pounds. There are three purposes for this Amendment: ( l) for Municipal Code consistency, • Chapter 6: Vehicles oi Title 11 · Public Ways and Property has multiple references to that • 7,000 pound limit and the traffic di\ision regulat ions are based on the 7,000 pound ,,eight limi~ (2) to simplify enforcement of regulations and (3) conservation of resources since th~ traffic signs il1 the Gty already use the 7,000 pound limit. (2, The second area deals with Hard Surface and they are abo made in the interest of Englewood Municipal Code consistency.

Our actions and projecls have all been initi- ated by our members from the bollom up, as ii were. It seems if other merchants in other areas wish to hook their cfforls with us they would get involved some• how with us. So fo r that has not been lhc case . l11e BID is not against tlw idea of other areas using :i flag, bul thC' flag we wish to use was designed with the ,dca of bei ng identified with our BID area It is bt-ing paid for by the BID using the assessments genera led within the Bl D so we cou ldn't p,1y for the flag to be used in olhcr areas. We want to sec the LaM Saturday Sa le become something of an e,•ent Melro area wide lhcrcfore we want to use the flag on ly on I hat one d,1y a nd if till' use is limilL'll to I his area we will have an effecllve means nf controlling when lhe nag is u,ed . We hope that our wi<he;. ,ire not mi~onstrueJ lo mean we tlnn't want lo work with ot her arc.is of the City and wi<h lo boo,I our ,irea ,11 the e,pcnsc of otlwr areas.
