Bums Nays: None Mo1ion carried and the Public Hearing opened. All witnesses were duly sworn . Senior Planner Langon advised that before Council tonigh1 for their consideration. is Council Bill No . 12, the Craig Hospital Planned Unit Development. The :ippticant is Craig Hospital, she said, and I have already submined to the Clerk the Proof of Publication of ~orice of Public Heanng. which was published in the Englewood Herald on March 9, 2001 . She advised that the applicant will submit 10 the C1 1y Clerk the cenificate of posting . Ms . Langon stated they have verified that the propcny has been r,"sted appropriatel y. She explained that !he PUD (Planned Unit Developmen1) is II rezoning prrJCess and it is used for a development that may not necessarily acco mmodate what the applicant would like 1:0 do within the existing zo ning regulations . It also a11ows for a unified development control ofan entire siti: a.;1 it establishes the zon ing and sitl' plan criteria specific to that site . The PUD has two pans, she said . The first is a District Pl an and those art the regulat ions that govern the uses in the new zone district that would be created by the PUD. The second part is a Site Plan and that is the general site and development details specific to the pr0Jec1 structures. elevations, parking and landscaping . Ms . Langon noted that the proposed Craig Hospital PUD has been submitted as one document, with both the Disttict Plan and the Site Plan, for concwm,t review, as provided within the PUD Ordinance . The preliminary proposal by Craig was brought 10 us in the fall of 2000 ml on Decermer 6° they conducted their rcquiml prc-submittal neighborhood meeting . Community Dev.lopment r«eivcd the formal application on /aauary 4°; it was reviewed by the Develo pment Review Team and then presc-rucd to the Planning and Zoning Commission at a public hearing on February 6*. At that meeting, she said. the Commission voted S..O to n:cornmend approYII by Council . Cwm,tly, she stated, the site is zoned R-3 High Densiry Residence with a Plamied Development overlay. The PlaMcd Oevelopmeat Ordimnc: was rcpealed in 1996 •~th the adoption of our l'UD, Plaaaed Unit Enpewood City Council April 2, 2001 l"U J IJ ) U• J:._'J1J P11e4 H10 .:-11c1A:. ,.,r,j Devclopmenc Ordinaocc , She advised that. at Community Development's recommendation., Craig Hospital decided to come forward and update into 11 Planned Unn Development. rather 1han jUSt amend the PD thal was existing on 1hc propcny . The proposed PUC site is basically at the intersection of South Emerson. South Cla rkson and Eut Girard . There arc ttu« parcels totaling 4.9 acres . Parcel I currently cqntaim their cast building, the Fricrxbh1p House :ind the two comencd apanmeni butldmgs that 11.rc on Easl Gi,ard. Parcel 2 is the surface park.mg lot nonh of Girard and II fro111s on Cl arkson . Parce l ) 1s 1hc main hospital oo Clark.son . Ms . Langon advised that. because Craig is a na1ionally recognized ncurolog1cal cen1cr that provides treatment and rehab 10 paucn1s with spinal cord and brain 1nJur1es, 1heir purpose and 1heir philosophy is 10 111low family members 10 particira1c in the rehab of patients . They currently use the two aparnncnl buildings , and also rent space from another building, tc house: family members when they arc there assis1ing with the rehab of pa1ients . They Jiso hnc: a need for housin p for rc:ruming patients 1hat are back for rehabililation and re-c:valua1ion . Under their proposal. she: said , the casl and west build ing that is rhe mam hospil.il and the ~as1 building, that in lhe past has been ca lled the lr.mSitional care building, and the nonh parking lol, remain th,. same. She stated the only parcel that will sec de"elopmcnt , under this proposed plan. is on Partel I and that will be lhe demolition of the two existing apamnent buildings and the Friendship House . In their pb1ce , they will construct. on the wcs1 side of South Emerson, a housing facility that will be four stories with 47 accessible units 10 replace the 43 tha1 a.re in the cwrcnl apartment buildings . The housing building will be used for returning patients and family members . Also on 1hat site will be a parking garage, a parking structure, which will be six le\'elS providing 333 spaces . As I mentioned, she said, the neighborhood meeting was conducted in December of last year and only one area resident attended that meeting and that gentlemen. when he was asked ifhe had any past problerm with Craig Hospital or their faciliry, he said no, that he had no issues with the hospital. thal he wasjus1 prcsenl because he was curious. Ms . Langon advised that the Development Review Team reviewed the proposed PUD , those are the seven re\'icwing departments within the Ciry, and all identified issues and concerns were resolved to each dcpanmcnt's satisfaction. She pointed out that the SWTOWlding zoning, for tbt actual site. is R-3 and there 1s a section ofR-1-C. Single Fanuly Residence Distnct. that 1s cast of1he aJley that LS be1wc:c:n Clarkson and Emerson. the area nonh of Gin.rd . The parking standards. according 10 Ciry ordinance. she said. would require 249 parking spaces and they arc providing a 101al of 401 parking spaces . Those arc the: 333 wi thin the garage and 1hen surface parking makes up the dtiTerc:nce . Regarding the proposed landscaping. they arc proposing to pro\ide 33% of the full PUD sue m landscaped area . The underl ying zone district ofR-3, for a non-r<sidenual use, requires only 25 % of the 1otal snc 10 be landscaped . Therefore , she pointed out. thry are exceeding the requirement if they remained under R-3 . They arc also exceeding the quantity rcqu;rcmcnts . She explamcd thal. regardrn~ 1he 1wo proposed buildings . the fanuly housing building is proposed al 64 feel and 1he parking saucrure at 70 feel. The cast and wes t building s. now , with equipment on iop cf the buildings. arc approxnnntc ly 60 feet tall, she sa1d. She staled 1ha1 Community Development feels 1he DlSlnct Plan and thl! 5ne Plan of1hc Craig Hospital PUD pro vide for expansion of the current use:, it is considered compati U\1 ·• ,Ji adjacent uses, it suppons the residential and hospital mi."cd-use of the ocighborbood and it conm ,. ,,.s to the vitality of !bi:: communiry . ll1erefore , she: said, ii is consistent \\ith the intent of1hc ('.J ::"c hensive Plan anc! the PUD Ordinance and Community Development recommends approval of the ( i J1g Hospital PUD . Ms . J ◄,-~gon s1>ted that if Council bod any questions she would be happy to address them Council Member Bradshaw asked what materials would be used. Ms . Langon advised she would leave it to the applican1 10 cover all of that. She said they have 3 very nice prcscntauon . Yls. Br.idsh.i.w s;ud okay and thanked her . Mayor Bums asked 1f Council had any other questions of Ms . Langon . There were none . Dennis O'Malley , President of Craig Hospital . said he would Just like 10 take a few moments. very bnefl y. to give Counci l an overview . No1 so much about me specifics of 1he buildings. he said, although we ha ve: the teams here to respond to any questions of that nawrc. but to tell you Just a little bit about why we arc doing this . I think that is something that is key tn t1us whole dLSCuss1on. he said. As you ma)' know we take patients from lhroughout. not only the Stale of Colorado, but 1hroughou11he Cnncd State s as well . Because ofthal. many of the family members ofpauents, while the y arc a1 Cnug. need housmg.. For over 30 years now, we have been prov1dmg tha1 temporary housmg for family members . He cxplatncd lha1 they discovered. 1 long rime ogo. how critical the invoh•emtnt of family is 10 thC' success of many palicnts' • • ltqlewood City Council Aprill, 2001 Pqe5 ' , I l buo,,1;1~n3 100: r 1i u 1, :,q rehabilitauon. So we try, m every wa y we CWl. to get them involved in that process . Mr. O'Mallcy 11aced that the a\·:i.i111bil ity ofhous ins on campus is their solution 10 that. Si.nee 1h11 is no1 paid tor. in moat instances. by tradi1ional insunncc mechanisms, we provide 30 days of free housing for all out of area families , We do thal lluough "flff care " funds Iha! we have accwnulaled lhrough lhe yean, lluough chariiable conll'ibu1 ions and oul of 1he goodness of !he he ans of many olhers 1h11 have supponed Craig , So we want 10 continue to provide this vital service . Of the apartment units tba1 we have been using, three arc on the c~us. we own two of them and an individual entrepreneur owns one of them We, however, manage all of his propcny for him, he said, and it is used exclusively for our families . Our intent is that we wi ll build ii new facility and then occupy it, so we can then rue the othe r buddings and create the parkmg ramp and londscapcd areas thin we need . Mr. O'Mallcy cxplamed 1ha11he reason 1h1s sequencing is imponao1 is because they need to have housing 1hroughout all of this. We can'1 afford to say we arc go ing 10 Im all oflhe buildings down and be wilhou~ he said, so Iha! wi ll be , son of, !he sequencing oflhings. He noted that the unit, owned by the individua l entrepreneur, will continue 10 be very important to them. Presently , he said, in our peak periods of the year, and that is about six months roughly from May through late fall. we arc frequently placing people off campus, bcC'ausc we don 't have adequate housing on campus . When ii was mentioned by Ms . Langon that there is something on lhe order of 43 units right now, that includes approximately 15 in this building tha1 we manage and the others arc 111 the 1wo buildings we own. He pointed out that they are acrually increasing their capa ci ty. so they lhmk 1hey can handle all of their families needs on campus in the future. Bu, we will still be keeping a local entrepreneur in business. which is impo nan1 10 us as well. Those arc some of 1he co nsiderations we feel arc ve ry imp onan1. he said . The second use for these apartment units has always been. and will conunut 10 be m the nc""' facilu y. 10 accommodate the reNm of Craig pa1icn1s as outpatients for three to four days. to ha ve what we call reevaluations periodically, every couple of years . They will C,Jmc in as outpatients to be seen. given a th:,rough physical exam and check their equipment. All of those thi,;gs will be evaluated to make sure they arc getting along well in life and avoiding the medical complications , which ca n interfere with their independence . So tha1 100 is a very importanl pan of lh• program and lhc building will be used for both of those kinds ofhousi.ng ,just as the apartments were in the past He said, switching gears quickly oow to • parking, that anyone that bas been on or near the campw in the recent past knows that it is getting to be pretty difficult around there. He pointed oul that while we have a very close wo rking relationship with Swedish. we are \'Cry independent of them. We arc a totally separate entity from Swedish . We have, for a long time . leased spaces from them and one of their ramps. Recently, it became necessary for them to ask us to vacate that because of their parking demands . Swedish has created, on the old Englewood G::irdcn Center property. ::i surface lot that the y are now leasing to us in the short term. so we can finish 1he construction of this ramp , at which point in time , 1hey ma y need that parking, as well, for their pwposes . We have tried. in the sizing of this ramp , to accommodate not only our present requirements, bur also anything we might be able 10 anticipate in the foreseeable furure . So we are actually going to be overbuilding a bu for now. he expla ined, because 1his is re::ill y the last developablc land that we own . So we feel we need 10 do tt at this point in lime . From our poinl of \'icw. these are our key considerations 10 this projcc1. In co ncluding, he said. I would like 10 say that in addn ion to bem g, what we believe we are anyway, which is an important business and employer in the Englewood community , it has always been very imponant for us that we feel we arc adding 10 the cn\'ironmen1 m 1he ne1ghborhood in which we reside and we ha \'e tried to do that in our consttuction in rhc past As you know. "hen you travel Cla rk son. we didn't just put a bridge across Clarkson, we tried 10 put a bndge tha1 was classy for 1he C11 y. We decora1e 11 on holid ays and \\.e 1ry 10 make u some 1hmg that adds to the \ 11al11y of rn,s communn y. We hJ\'t' 1ha1 same sp1rtt in approaching this project as well . We want 11 10 be somctlung 1ha1 not JU.SI Craig Hos p1U1,I ca n be proud of. but that Englewood Ciln be proud of. I would jusl like to add 1ha1 our rclauon !hip with the City 1n general 1s very important to us , he said. and through my nearl y 28 yea rs now I am happ y 10 say we have had an excellent working relationship with vi rtuall y all the phas es of both 1he go vernment and depanmenrs w1th.Jn 1hc C11y. So we appreciate that and we pledge to yo u that we will co nunuc 10 try to be good neighbors m 1he Ci 1y of Englewood . Ar 1his point I wou ld conclude my remarks and just be available co yo u for qucsuons . Mr . O'M allc y ad vis ed that there were representatives from their architectural furn. H + L Archi1ccrure. as well as the Phipps Construction superintendent on W project, present to answer any questions Council might have . Also, he said. Lee Means , our engineering director. who will be principally responsible for managing the project for the hospital , was present . So if yo u ha\.'C any questions please feel &.. 10 asr. 1hem. he said. we will be happy 10 answer anythina you migh1 ha\C 10 ask.

He said. u you know,. .• have bad coasllDt code enforcement problems around 1he hospitals with parlting issues . He asked if this will take aome oftbote can off the slrttt. Mr . O'Malley said yes , ac111.1lly w. think ii will take quire a few of the c111 off the sttcei , a, least those immediately around the Craig buildings , which are, principally, our e~Joyees. But I think mos1 of our empl oyees would prefer to park in the ramp . There will a sbon. I 5 fooc , uni.overed walk that they will have to make, but other than that the y can traverse Clarkson and all of rbat without havLD1 ,o go on lhe sttcct. They will go through the bu ildings and across the bridge . ll'e beli"'• the y will pr,fcr that kind of parking, he said. and the street parking will be available for shon-1erm ,·1s11ors on Clarkson Street itself. and perhaps Girard . Mayor Bums asked how thty will acc ommodate the families when the y demo the buildings the y have now and the y are under constru ction . Mr. O'Mallcy s1a1ed that they intend to build the new housing facili ty. occup y ii . and then me the other buildings and build the new parking r1mp :md the landscaped area .

M.uk Williams, wit h H + L Architecture, ad\·iscd that he had a slide that would show the JJ:llposed elevations of the building . He noted Coun:il Member Bnubhaw had specifically requested iDfonNlioa about the materials the y llfC planning to use and the elevation on the screen sbo...,,s the Emcnon Street elevation and the Girard Sttt'Ct elevation. He ad vised that these are the two elevations that are primarily exposed to the neighborhood . The Emrrson Strett elevation shows the family housing buildin&, which is intended to be clad in brick. We intend to use the same color of brick that was used on the other Cnig facilities . he sa id, to tie the building in to lhe others , to create son of a campus feel. While at the same rime, he said. we are using a pitched roof. wtuch none of the othe r buildings hav~. 10 give It more of a residential character, which is what it reall y is . that is what its functi on truly 1s. The in1en11on is that th e puched roo f...,i ll be a s1anding seam metal roo r and 1he wind ows will be aluminum framed . v1S1o n gla ss windows , wnh operable wmd ows in the living units . Ms .

He stated that each year our Streets Maintenance Division reviews 118 miles of meets m 1he City ofEn~lewood and cvalua1cs which streets need maintenance efforts. The design life of an asphalt road is 20 years and in order to coax 20 years out of our road, in Colorado we need to perform resurfacing tteatmcr.ts periodically. He stated that, sU1cc 1991, the City of Englewood has found micro-- swfacing to be a cost effective maintenance alternative that provides rut filling, leveling of existing pavements , a surface seal and a new wearing surface . BASS has satisfactorily participated in a partnership arrangement with the City for the last ten yea.rs to construct our micro•surfacing programs and they have now placed ever two million square yards of our design product on our roads . Mr. Ross stated that we firmly believe the recommended course of action represents superior value to our ci tizens and, therefore, we recommend that City Council adopt this resolution to allow us 10 cn1er im\.l a contract for our 2001 Micro-surfacing Program. If you have any questions I would be happy 10 try 10 answer them. he said. Mayor Burns no1cd that this continues to be a very specialized an almost.

Mayor Bums stated, as he did :it the meeting ll,a! :'Jght, that he would like to thank Council. City Manager Scars and all the employees, because he felt that this was renll y an award for the City of Englewood, because of the enormous effort put fonh by the Cit y in the lft-:: several years. To take down a one million square foot shopping center and to redo this building and move the Cily Hall for the: first time in 35 yer.rs and he~in this project. .. it is jusl an enonnous effort by everyone who works for the City, the citizens who have been so patient with w. through :ill of this and the cities in the :iouthwest corridor. Linleton and Sheridan, He noted that Linlcton has workc:.:! with us , hand in glO\'t, for years on the southwes t comdor light r.ul. I also would hkc 10 thank John Parr and Peter K~nney of the Center for Regional Neighborhood Action, he said. who came down , along with Director Bob Simpson, to talk to us about what transit oriented development was abol,I, instead of big box retail and lots of parking. We lilcei that concept quite a bit and wem for ii.

As Cal \farsella said Thursda y. before southwest was buih, people were ki.,d of iffy abou1 whether this kmd of thing would wo rk and now lhat ii is such a roaring success they are clammin~ to be the nex1 light rail corridor . So it has crealetl a tremendous synergy in the region to gel thn e things done . Incidental!~ they also said 1hat ,uybc one more foll funding gra m agreemen1 111.1gh1 be allowed for Denver . The~ :.J ve rwo . One for southwest. one for the southeast and maybe one m()re is al 1 this region is going to get. So. he said. it really means that we have to have public/private partnership\ an ... certainly an RTD vote. I think, in order to build this system out in any re asonaLle period of time . Hut it really recognizes the things that Englewood has accomplished and the synergy that this has created . There was one very nice thing I found out, he said. I tbougt,c rbat perhaps no one in Englewood had won this before, but that was wrong. Next month we will honor Milt Senti as the Citizen of the Year nnd in 1983 Mr. Senti won the John V. Christensen Memorial Award. They also recognized my work on Housing for so many years, he said. and when I started the Housing Authority work back in the 1970"s, ifmy memory serves me righl. Ytil1 Senti appointed me to the Housmg Authority Board . So there is a great synergy being created . The 1979 Comprehensive Plan. that we are now comprehensively redoing, has all the-elements lrull WI.! have in our proj,:.-cts The inrreascd housing in this area, the increased business development in the area and fixed rail was m ma11 Comp rehensive Plan . Mayor Bums stated that the people who put together that Comprehens ive Plan were very forward thinking and about 20 years later we are finally getting the job done. Milt Senti al·10 worked on that, so ii really creates a great synergy and a great linkage between !hat time and this . So I am going to have a lot of fun ne xt month with Mr. Semi at our session honoring him. he said. because 1here reall y is a link:1ge between 0-•se days and these :1nd it is reall y fun 10 find that out .

"'e ha,e rece111\y recei\'ed from a 1.11izen. was 10 han: some type of additional parking ;md shuttle for 1he ligh1 nu!. I have msnucted the staff 10 lak e r look at tbal.

They are also doing a srudy as to where the folks who park over thcr: come from; with the idea that maybe we can initiate some kind of park.-n-Ridc . Mayor Bums pointed out that 60% of the people who ride this line are new transit riders, which means 1ha1 they did not ride buses So, he said. { lhink we have to kind of reeducate and retrain some of these folks. who are comi ng in here . to take the bus 10 ge1 to the stanon. And. he noted. we.: need to know where I.hey arc commg from lD order to do that. Ht opined we rcal.iy need to , 10 these studies and gel together and think about :;omc strategics about how we can relieve some of the prcss1Jrcs 1,)\'er here. because it will not get bener ;:,,nd as I.h e ,;oui:heast corridor staru. the common unders~nding is, there will be more pressure over here. It is someli'tlng we: really have to work on together. TI,c other thing, Mr. Marsella said very candidly at the meeting. •vas that the other corridors and other RTD board representatives are saying that if you put 500 spaces thc:rc, at $10,000.00 a space, that is SS million and the board members arc saying don't you dare spend that much money on that conidor before we get our corridor . Mayor Burns advised that Mr . Marsella is geni ng a lot of political pressure from the board not to spend a lot more money on lh,s corridor while the ot he rs arc waiting . That. he said. is son ofa fact of life, so we have to deal with those realities anct I think. try 10 work w11h them 10 figure out some ways to constructivel y try 10 rclie\'e that pressure .
