they were present to ask Council to partner up with them in something that their national organization has
produced for a campaign called "Get Out the Vote ," She said it is a non-panisan poster campaign and they
would like to ask Council partner up with them to have :1n official reception and opening and showing of
the posters . Ms . MaM noted she brought some samples to show Council tonight. They would have some
speakers and they would have one oflhc:ir own speakers, which would be one of the designers , come in and
speak to their membership. The whole point of this is to get these posters out in as many public places as
possible and they thought this was a beautiful, perfect venue for that. They showed Council the posters and
Ms. MaM noted there an: actually about twenty different pos1ers ; this is just a sampling of what they have .
She said, as she noted earlier, this is non-panisan and the whole purpose of this campaign is to provide a
public service. She advised they do a couple of things like this a year and they have speak en and things for
their own benefit, but this is something that would benefit the community. So, she said. these will be all
over the country, hopefully i~iring people to get out and vote and to increase public awareness . lbey arc
hoping to do this on October 4 and they spoke to Assistant City Manager Flaherty and it seems that that
time period is open, she said. Ms. Mann advised that they have n:qutsted to use the beautiful Community
Room She noted she has talked to different people in the building and they have said they arc supportive
and maybe we can come up with ideas 10 bring people in . The y do a mailing, she said, and send out a
broadcast, so maybe they could combine their list with the City 's list to try get as many people here as
possible . Ms. Mann said the y arc hoping Council is supponive of that

Assi st.:m1 Cny Manager Flaherty advised that they have booked the Community Ror,m for the Rail-
Volu ti on on Octobers•, we have no bookings for the Community Room. at this :::.,int, for October 4•.
Mayor Bums said he understands that , he was just thinking if an y of our memb.:;1-arc signed 11p to actually
attend the Conference downtown the y ma y not be here . But. he noted. he thought Mr. Fhlhcny was right ,
that the reception was on October 5di .
Ma yor Bums advised Ms. Mann that he thought their program was ex cell ent and they should be

Ms , Mana asked if it was possible ~, put their poster, up until after the November election, if there wu any
place in :he building that would be appropriate. She advised they could have 1he m moWIICd, that u they
are anists, they can do lots of things ·o make them look nice.
Council Member Bradshaw said she thouaJit Ms, Mana could work with Mr, Flaherty on that issue u well.
Mayor Bums agreed u Mr. Flaherty is kind of in charge of bow we use the Community Room and we are
trying 10 get some structure to that.
Ms . Mann lh>nked Council.
Council Member Nabholz asked if it was possible for them to talk to Dr. White at the Adminisaation
Building about a smaller, scaled down, vmionofthis for our schools. She said she didn't kno-v if that was
acceptable, but the kids do take these things home. Ms. Mann advised they would love to do tha~ that they
have twenty different posters. with at least twenty or more of each one and they could probably Jet more.
Their whole thing is to get this message out there, she said.
Council Member Nabholz commenled that we ntight meet with the schools during our SchooUCity
Committee meeting ,
Council Member Bradshaw suggested they cou..' • ill the District Adntillistration Building .

need this out there too . She advised that their conw:t would probably be Dr. Williatlls's ICCttllJy.
Ms . Mann thanked Council for their support .
(b) Leon Piper, 2929 West Union. said be was a linlc curious as to why we even have a
oolieo depanment. He stated we have a no truck sign on Union and Friday afteruooa, about 3:30/4 :00 a
cen.:111 truck going wesl, made a right tum on Fedcnl and a lady policeman made a rig.bl tum off of
Federal onto Union, with this huge CCIIIL ll truck there, She didn't bother, dido 't bother to stop, she never
even blinked an eye. Mr. Piper pointed 0 111 that we could cut down expenses a kt ifwe could eliminate
some of lhe help, because they are evidently 001 doina the job. There i.s no need 10 IDlk< ordinanc:es and
not enforce I icm, he said.
M,yor Bwns advised they will ask the City Manager to check in10 that and see whal happened, because we
arc trying to enforce that He agreed that was not a good obse· vation Mi Piper happened to make there .

Motion carried and the Public Hearing opened .
Senior PlaMer Graham, being duly sworn. explamcd lhar the proposed amendment to the Comprehensive
Plan would add a regional clement. This clement was a.Jticipated by the "Mile High Compact", which
came through this body recently, he said. We hav, •sticipated this , actually , for the past two years, since
the DRCOG board member,, who an: member, or Council , passed it at the DRCOG board le-:el. Bu~ he
noted, along with many of the other cities. we were waiting to undentand the implications of this Regional
Plan before moving forward to this point. Mr. Graham advised th.at this adds five core clements which att
the tests for whether the local plans a.re consistent with the Regional Plac. One of the clements was alreaci.
adopted by City Council in conjunction with the Transportation Improvement Project. That was the
"Extent of Urbanization" provision. So . be stated. Council is really onl y looking at Open Space, the
Balanced Mulrimodal Traru;ponation clement, the UrbU1 Centers clement and Environmental Quality, il.S
new items for our Coq,rchensive Plan. He noted that these amendments would represent, probably, the
most signif "'rtt amendment, at least since the South Broadway Action Plan came t;ll'Ough this body. Mr.
Graham saiu. from his revie w of the plan. that. probat-ly , there have been onl y five significan1 amendments
over twenty years, so it is not inconsequential that we ask Counc:1 to amend this . He explained that one of
the provisions of the "Mile High Compact" is that the Regional Plan serve s as lhc conteitt for all of the
other clements . So , he said, we felt it was appropriate to move this piece along , ahead of the Housing Pinn,
the Economic Development Plan. the Open Space Plan and the Transportation Plan . We a.re here before
you tonight , he said, with one of the five Comprehens ive Plan amendments Harold Stilt spoke about in
Study Session.
Mr. Graham submitted to the City Clerk, Proof of Publication that notice of this public hearing was
published on July 21 , 2000 in the Englewood Herald.

Senio: Planner Graham ,.,d he wosld like to give Cow,cil a couple of representative >"''"IS li:on1 o,ch of
the cive elements. just to illustrate what Council would be approving. He said he was r.ot certain wbi:tbcr
C ,w,cil received !he atw:bmenl. He passed !hem out to Council . In keeping with the 1·"'-'"I for the
C omprehemive Plan revision, he said, we ■re trying to stay II the policy level with theS< v ,,a,!m.•nts. Mr .
C:nham pointed ow that after the policies arc in place, later on, then we would do the imp1 cm~.ta11on
p ans . So, be advised. in this amendment we are only dealing with the intent statement and the objectives
under each of chose intent statements, there isn't anything very specific . This doesn 't include any projecr ,.
Mr. Graham said the last one. on the extent of urban development list. is to encoW'3gc the development of
balanced commuuties, cbllJ'ICtcrizcd by a mix of income and housing rypes and having II reasonable
relationship between the affordable housing supply and employment opporowities . That, he noted, is ■a
objective that is held by the Hou.,ing Authority, its something that we hope the housing group ... the
subcommittee that will be chaired by Chris Willis , will take up ■s p■n of his charge in the Housing Task
Force . Undu \JJ)CD space, he picked ou1 two, he said. Regarding the tttiior.al open space system. there is a
plan that shG..,'~ the South Plane River and Cherry Creek as the two priorities in the metro areas open space
system. So, be said, we believe that adopting this plan for Englewood ·.viii help us undrntarul that some of
the pieces of the open space system are important 1cgionally, M well as locally. And, perhaps, act
rcsoun:cs from the region 10 help implement those . Another is to conserve and protect important natural
resowces, including environmentally sensitive lands, wetlands and wildlife habitat. Again, we arc workin,g
on an open space study of the Platte River corridor and this kind of statement helps us when we are making
grant applications to the Division of Wildlife, or the Conscrvatir-n Trust, for resources to implement an
open space plan.
Mr. G1111wu advised that the nther long titled one ii ■bout 111111. transit. Englewood i1 in the fortunate
poiition of having just implemented most of the most imponant pieces here ... providing the high capital
transportation facilities , which is an indirect reference to,~ light rail transit. But, he noted. tbcre is a
responsibility that is entailed with that invesunent, a rcspo .. sibitiry 10 the region, which is, to develop land
uses that make efficient use of those facilities . That is the chrilleoge to us now, he said, is to make sense of
the land uses that could reasonably use li ght rail. Anoth~ :,ne is implementing the rapid transit to reduce
the need for additional roadway capacity and reconfiguring the bus network Well cenoinly, he noted,
some of the things we arc already working on. like the shuttle p1oject, speaks directly to this .
Senior Planner Graham explai.Ded that under urban centers, the idea in the Metro Vision is that ultimately
there would be several urban centers in the region, all scrvrd by mass transit and th,: most of the jobs and
entenainment and retail opportunitie.s, the regional ones, \ll'Ould be at these large urban centers utd you
would be able to get between them efficiently. He co111111<11ted that Englewood has certainly ,tarted the
process with CiryCenter. Developing a mixed US(' facility on a light rail system is a perf~ct fit for what th.is
urban centers is about. .. focusing a major portion of future growth into urban centers to reduce land
consumption and loss of open space while increasing ridership . Mr. Graham stated that the final point in
urban centers talks about promoting a network of connected strr.ets and sidewalks , with buildings oriented
lo ward sidewalks. He advised that many of the designs, suggestions , that were made by Calthorpc'!-and
Tryba on this project were exactly for that purpose, to struef",re the puking, to keep the blocks sm■II , the
development compact and very walkabll Mr. Graham advised that his take on this is that Englewood has
done a terrific job even without Metta Vis10n policies. But making them explicit would be helpful to the
res1 of the communi ty to know what are some of1he benchmarks for progress in these areas .
Mr. Graham staled the environmenta l quality piece is probably the most difficult one to understand, but it
speaks to the difficulty of getting clean air and clean ,~rater. Larg~ly these issues have to be hand kd on a
regional bas1S. it just makes sense to handle it this way, he opined Achieving a locally defined. balanced, <-, '-,o,ic11l community, be noted, is a lot of words, but what ii comes down to is that WRMAC, a DRCOG
;.-.•.,-itee , is charged with clean water compliance. lncy work with all the water utilities and providers
· •.t1c y hope to structure reasonable arrangements where the investments in water capital facilities makes

(c) Resolutions and Motions
(i) Plaruting Analyst Dannemiller presented a recommendation from the
Community Development Depamnent to adopt a resolution for Historic Property Designation of the
Englewood Depot. She advised that she was pn:sent tonight to speak in regard to an application for
Historic Property Designation received from the Englewood Depot. All of the required application
matenals have been submitted by the applicant. which includes an application. a photo 1nd a description of
the historical significance of the propeny. Additionally, a public bearing was held on Jul~• 1s• before the
Plaoning and Zoning Commission and the Commission wanimously recommended ref«ring this property
to the Council for Ristotic Property Designation. Ms. Dannemiller explained that in order for a property to
be designated on the Englewood Historic Register ccnain cr iteria must be met. F:.tSt, the structl.1'e must be
at least fifty years old and, additionally, meet one of four other criteria contnincd within the ordiunce.
Staff and the Commission he ti eves that this property meets twl' of the four criteria. in addition to ti.~ ege
criteria, and it is a structure whi:h embodies distinguishing cbanctcristics of a 11!1 an::hiu-chaal type
valuable for study of a period or style . In this cue thL Historical Society believes that tltt sttucnuc is the
only remaining wood frame and stucco mission revival srylc depot in Colorado . It 1s also \mown as the
County Seat style . Also, it reflects the broad social history of the City of Englewood, evidcr.ccd by an
article in the June 4, 1915 Englewood Enterprise, talking about bow the railroad and the subsequent depot,
helped to establish Englewood on the map . It created a station and helped generate business opporruniries
in the City tha1 were . Jtherwise, going to other neighboring cities. Additionally, the Colorado State
Historical Society has listed the Englewood Dq>ot on the State Register of Historic Places as of November
9, 1994 a.s Site No . SAH778 . Therefore, she said, we full y recommend npproval of this application based
on this criteria . Ms . Dannemill::, advised that representatives of the Historical Society were present and if
Council would like them to speak to the merits of this applicaaon. the y arc available 10 do thal. Following
that, she said, we have a certificate for the Mayor to present to the representatives oftbc Society .
Mayor Bums invited the members of the Historical Society to speak to Council.
Cind y Scan !lated she was representing the Englewood Historical Soc1c~. On behalf of the Society, she
thanked everyone for all their suppon. Ms . Scott noted that many yr:i!.s of effon have gone into saving this
depot a.nd it staods ns a prominent !:ind.mark at this point. This is arYJther step in ,a.st.ablishing its legitimacy
as a symbol of the community, she said, :ind they hope to contin1~ to work to make it a reality and make it

(iii) Rick Kahin advised that he is the Engineering and Capitol Projects M■mger for
the City, however he is speaking tonight as a Director of the Englewood Environmental Foundation. He
presented a rcc:ommenda j on from the Englewood Environmental Foundation to adopt a resolution
supporting the deal sheet between th, Englewood Env~oMtental Foundation and Miller Weinpnen
concerning the space at the Bally Building at CityCenter Englewood. Mr. Kahin advis•d the deal sbee, is
doted August 21, 2000 and the parties in the lease would be Weingarten/Miller/Englewood LLC, Landlord
and the Englewood Environmental Foundation as the tenant . The leased premises, to be developed in the
Baily's building, would be approximately 12,000 squ,re feel. Mr. Kahin explained the reason that is an
approximate number is because the building ha.snot been fully designed yet, once the Jay['llft' takes place we
will know exactly what the square footage is . It is a space lease with one lump sum rental payment, paid at
the bcgiMing oflhc lease and that would be upon completion by Miller Wcingancr, of the core and shell .
Council Member Bradshaw asked when we antici pate that. Mr. Kahm advi~d that by passing the
resolution this evening, the deal sheet would allow us to go forward and cute .. into a lease, which would
require that they have that core and shell available to us within eight month$ of their closing, which was
August 4, 2000. Ms. Bradshaw said okay, so that doesn't change that time line al all. Mr. Kahin agrt<d
that this doc t · change that timcframe .
Mr. Kahm ,JI it is, approximately. a 75-year lease and it would run concurrentl y with the Miller
Wcinganen ... 1J lease that the y have with the Foundation for the who le property . He stated the price
would not exceed $668,000 . We would actw.lly be pa yi ng for the actual costs of hard costs and soft costs .
There are formulas in the deal sheet that would allow w to participate if there are, in fact, savings from that
nwnber. On the soft cost side it is also puts a cap ofS48 ,000 on architecture and engineering. A
development fee is established at $15,000, legal fees are capped at S15,000, that is a not to exceed number,
and interest is at the ralc of one-half percent below prime, bu t capped at a maximum ofS40,000 .
Regarding the condition of the leased premises, he said, Miller Wcinganen has deftncd a core/shell as a
storefront with one entry door, one rear door, a troweled concrete floor with cutout for batbro\Jm(s), one ton
HVAC per 400 square feet of building, that 's provided but not distributed . A 100 amp 120/208 volt p ■nel
for electrical. There would be structural sruds on 16 inch ccntm with ban insulation, which would sepante
the Baily 's use from this space and it comes with a water line, a sewer line and exterior sidewalks and
railings . That, he noted, is their definition of a core and shell .
Council Member Bradshaw ask~d if that is the to tal cos !. Mr. Kahrn stated that is what we get for our
$668 ,000 maximum.
