project tllcy arc undertaking in Englewood. Steve Kindsfalher, the Comprehcmivc Building Trades
lmlJuc:IOr for lhe Arca Vocational School and Arapahoe Community College, -,...i Cou11eil 's
continued support of Project BUILD . As an instruclor in the building lndcs, IV.r. Kin:ld'alhcr said he tries
to ,ee .... , studen11 can do with tr.Ir hands. Evciyone hu a boone Iha! DCCdJ ,.,_ kind of ,q,air, or
wants to move into a new home that is built with care and craftsmanship, he said. W11 ICC tbia happening
less and less, he said, but we would like 10 sec ii happening more and me.-., and Iha! i• why we encourage
Sllldo1U IO go through fcmul cducallon and take pride in their work and then go oat and ftll tbc wort
fom, with the skills they bivc larued !Mlagh 1h11 program. I ■ lhc put. he Slated, wc have built a home
in a community, which the students can be proud of and sec complelcd from start lo fiaJA. pcrlbnning
about llinety pcm,,. al tho tndcs thcmldva. The only-i is the tool bei~ which the students arc issued.
This year, the vcntun: was taken on by Englewood and Pn,,ccl BUILD , he advised, al 777 West Oxford
Avenue. Mr. Kindsfalhcr 1old Council Iha! he hopes they can anend lhc open house when ii is complCICd.
He acknowledged Uial Ibis year's house is a very expensive one and lhc City bas gone above and beyond
in doing land improvements, burying some overhead power lines. insaliing rclaining walls and other
extra improvements that would not normally occur. He cxprcssc:d his appreciation for Council's suppt.\ff
oflhis project. adding Uial ii is a win-win situation . In closing. he a.lkcd again for Council's continued
support of Project BUILD and the Arca Vocational School .
Foncst Davis. instructor of Industrial Technology al Sheridan High School. disuibutcd plans 10 Council
so they could sec what the students al Sheridan arc doing. He said Ibey arc examples of house plans Uiat
the group submilled 10 lhc City , including oae from Gilbcn Hool<. who was prea,nl Ibis evcnillg. Mr.
Davis said he would like 10 share what is going on at She1ioan High School. The Sheridan lndusuial
Tccltoology department was lhe fim 10 come up with passpons, he advised. which is almost like having a
degree in high school . Th< st udents arc no longer going 10 receive just a diploma. but ,.;11 be able 10 scdt
a passpon along with 1ha1 10 indicate an emphasis in a particular area of inten:st. For example, he
continued, in industnai "C h ology. there arc three areas Ibey can go into. specifically drafting. for civil
engineering, mechan ical a.i , architectural design. woodworki ng. which also goes into cabinetry work . and
prc<ngmccring, he said . In explaining how this relates to the AVS association ~ilh the City. Mr. Davis
stated lhat he and Mr. Kindsfalher arc lwo of the few teachers whose standa.rds really do not mailer. The
reason for th is is that their students have to meet Lhe City's rcquiremcnls and codes, so it docsn 't matter
whal his standards arc, because the students ultimately have 10 mcc1 the framing code. and they have 10
meet the standard C'Jdcs when drawing up !he house plans . For lhe last several yc:us, he said. lhe
ar<:hilr.Clural design students have been des igning houses and giving presentations in lhe spring . They
have to put on a suit and tie and make their prcscntalions to a panel and sell their des ign 10 that ciry . For
the past two years. he advised. it has been in Liltlcton and lh ey ha\'C received national rccognilfon for
their house construction . Also , for the past two years, Mr. Davis said his advanced students in cabi nc~
ha\·c bc:cn making cabinets. and this year, the cabinets will be for the house that is being built now We
ha,'C raised our standards , he commenlcd, so ~tcsc kids can meet the challenges of wha t will be e.,pec1ed
or lhcm . Nol only do Ibey know whal 1he challenges arc. he asscned . bu! also Ibey have been li,1ng ii for
I.he last nine months . Th e botto m line. he said . is that Lhis program is different than any other in the stale.
because it is the students who design th e house plan . the students who build the ho use ;ind the students

Englewood, she opined . The itcmJ discussod at the Study Session and those suggested revisions arc found
on page 1,,ll or the Council Communication. she said .
Mayor Bu'llS a•kcd wheaher Ms. Langon was going 10 addn:ss the three amendments and the two items at
the bottom , or if she was waiting for Council to commenl. Ms . Langon responded that she was waiting
for Council's comment. The first three items were Council's directions at the Study Session. aod those
·-'"-ere changes they wanted made. and the last two items were discussion ilcms. she said .
Mayor Bums stat<d that no one had ,igncd up lo speak at this hearing. but he invited interested panics to
<.o so now. Then: was no response.
Mayor Bums said the last two ilCIIIS on the second page were discussed. The first being that PUD
landscaping requirements shall be dctcnnincd on a case by case ha.sis and consideration shall be giYcn to
the l)JlC of development use. PUD landscape n:quircments will be guided by n:quiremcnlf cstablisl>ed for
similar developments and similar zone dis•ricts. Council Member Habenicht said she , .. ;,uld like to see
this first item for comment included. Mayor Bums agreed . Ciay Allomcy Brotzman said tha t the""'
discussion iaems arc actually included . In the discussion al the Study Session, he recalled, ahere wa.s a
question as 10 whether Council wanted to sLrengthen the language or not. It was not clear al that point
whctl1cr tl,cy wanted modification to tJ,at paragraph . Ms. Habeni cht said she would like ahe paragraph
5trengthencd .
Mayor Bums asked Ms . Langon to comment on why the provision is drafted the way it was and whaa the
thoughts of staff were. Ms . Lango11 responded thaa ii was to offer flex . ~iliay . Since n~ don ·1 know from
one PUD to the next what the land use would specifically be, it was wnucn that way to offer flexibility .
The n:quiremcnts would be much the same as oimilar zone districts, so that, if the PUD was mostly
