(h) Fran.' Miner, 3121 South Vine Street, llid he has lived in Englewood since 1954,
except for a five year petiod bcn><co 1959 and 196S. After living in Illinois, be and his family decided
they wanted to live in E'Jglewood again. lfu wife told him that, ifhe could find a house in their old
neigllborhood in Enpe'M)Od. be should go ahead and buy it because lhc knew they would be happy there.
For the last 1'o'Cnly•five years. be said, he bas been • real estale broker and licensed appraiser in the State
.CColonodo and bu some idea of the value olprupeny. He expressed fear that ifwe permit daycare in the
homes in Engle"""'1, it will be opening die door to otbcr bulincs5e1 from the home, which will destroy
oor ncighborlooodl. It will iacreasc noise ud tndlic and bring suange11 into the neighborhoods . It puts
for-profit buinesses in oor neighborhoods ad opens Ille door for othen to come in . Mr. Miner stated
that yesterday morning he had KOA on t.,. ddioand be beard them quote a City staff'm,'fflbcr of
Englc,,'OOCI as ,aying that all of staffwowcl approvc tbis cbange in our uming. He feels ii is improper for
a staff' member to ,ay that publicly and to be allowecl to be quoted over the radio. Several n--.ghbort told
bun they heard lhe same thing on television . He advised that there was a problem and di!ICUSSion O\'CI'
homes for L'lc elderly and handicapped. The fcdcrll aovcmmenl ;ays we must permit them in oor zoniog
in Englewood and ,... do, he said . The Slate 51)'1 thelC homes must be 7,0 feet lp3fl. although he has i,.,.
in his neighborhood that are 416 feet apan. Mr. Miner feels Englewood is not going 10 comply with. the
State regulation How mar.y daycare centers can"''" ha,-c, how far apan do they ~ to be? He askoi,
also , who will supervise the daycare cen1en, who "ill check the binh cenificales and who ,viii tell lht:
child he has 10 leave because he is too old. Mr. Miner opined that it is not manageable one! that the
propeny values will be destroyed in Englewood. He doel not feel that ,... need ii here, lllhough be
allowed that ,... should have daycare in its proper place and lhe proper type of structure and management.

Habcnichl n:called a call that sbc bad &om a 1aCla in Englewood who lives in ffi&hlands Ranch. The)'
don 't permit this kind o( daycare home in Hipluds Ranch, but sbc wanted us to do this hen: io
Englewood . She surmised that Englewood isn 't the only ares that prohibill this kind of thing. Nol
·..-.nting to put us in the wrong light she -c,d, the thing is that this is the way that it has been for ycan
and people are afraid that their nci&Jrborl,oods are p,ing to chafllC by makina this more penaiaiblc. At
the same time, people who ba,·e da)'care homes. and have their children in daycaR homes wbctc nobody
even knows the difference, fccl that we are ll)'iQ& to lake this away from them. She recognized that there
are really suong feelings and co na:ms on hoth sides and that"" DOOd to be sensitive to hoth sides. Ms .
Habenicht asserted that she bel ieves <llff came up with a recommeodation tha t is seasitivc to both sides,
by making this a conditional use in R-1-A. She feds the people who are really fcaJful about this are the
people who have da)'carc homes and all of sudden they are going to have to go through the process and
put up these s""5. For that reason, sbc 11,ucsted an amendment that would p:andfathcr in for two ycan
all of the existing licensed daycarc in R-1-A. She said sbc is just putting this out for discussion, to
grandfather them in for ""' years until they ha,,. to &ct the conliiuonaJ zoning. That gives them the time
to get history .

Cooncil Member Waggoner stated that he bas rccci'l'Cd a lot ofletters from people who are concemcd
about doing away ,.;th daycare in the residential aress. We are not doing away with daycan: in all the
residential areas . Some or it is not allowed already, be said, but EngJcwoocl still has R-1-B single famil y
residential districts. R-1-C single famil y residential districts. We have the R-2 , the R-l and the k-2-C and
the R-l-C , the R-l and the R-4 residential districts. So it is only the R-1-A where I'm proposing that we
remove the famil y daycare in the home. he said. The rest or them stay exactly as they arc . Also, for the

The motion failed .
Council Member Hathaway said that if Council Mombcr Habenicht 1''0Uld indulge her for I moment , she
would like 10 propose a counter amendment. She aid she would like to propose that we consider child
care in R-l·A tbc same a> in any other residential district in the City of Englewood . In other words, it is a
pcrmincd use. It has existed for many years. as Mayor Bums stated. and has for the lllOII part c.'<ist..i
pcac:cfully witll few cxc:rptions. She feels our ncipborboods are up to dealing witll tho,c exceptions. If
somebody is in a childcare Cacility, lic:cnscd or unlicensed, and they are causing problems , yoo can bet the
neighborhood will be Ille fust to complain, whctbcr it is in R-1-A orR-2 , which, she aid, is where she
has lived all her life. She feels we are setting a c:lass distinc:lion, which she docs nol feel "~ should,
because they are our children, ,he docsn 't care v.1'clher they have parents who work in the city of
Englewood or v.ilcthcr they have no relationship here other tllan their child care provider. They are the
future of our communiry , our world and our counuy. The best \\'3)' lo take rare oflhcm is to eliminate any
distinction.
Mayor Bums asked il' she is speaking lo the ordinance as drafted . She responded lhat she is speaking to
theordinanoc as drafted , to make R-1-A child arc: the same as it i1 in other residential wncs . Not a
conditional use.
Council Member Vonnittag asked for clarification as to whether she was only referring to daycare . She
responded "just da)'C3J'C. n

Council Member Wil)Jins said he agrees with Council Member Habenicht that it should be a conditional

thal thi• does DOI negati,-ely im pact her area and she can't imagine • daycare -.,;th six children impacting

in would be a routine mane,. Council Member Habenicht ,aid ii would give lhein some time l.nd lhey
would not feel that lhey m being forced Into somelhi.ng right away .
Council Member Hathaway offered an addition to lhe amcndmcnl whereby thole pandfalhen:d l.nd who
could prove lhey wcro in exiSleDCC l.nd lieensod prior to June J, 1996 would not be n:quirod to go through
lhe a,nditional use proa:s1 l.nd thal from lhis poinl oa it would be done u a oondilional UIC as proposed
in lhe ordinanoc. Council Member Vonninag added lhal lhey must have exiSled at lheir cunen1 addr=.
Council Memb .., Habcnichl said she lhiw it is belier 10 ha, .. an equal playing field for Ille residents l.nd
lhe daycare providers. The 1wo year grandfathering in gi\'OS the propeny owners who have ooneerns the
sense lbal u, "Y still have the opponunil.)' to qucstioa the conditional UIC 111ld a SCll$C of a,curity for lheir
lifesl)'le. The allows for everyone 's righu to be pnll<ded.
Mayor Bums added thal some of lhese daycaro providm have been in their ..sidenees for fifteen or
twenty years l.nd it appears lbal lhey provide quality daycare. He cxp,used coneem aboul making them
all go through a conditional use process given the number of yean lhey have been in business .
Council Member Wiggins pointed 0111 that lhey have been illegally in business. Mayor Bums
acknowledged that, bul feels we havcn 'I done a VCJ)' &oodjob of moniloring lhat, nor has lhe State.
Coun cil Member Clapp asked for clarification as to what the amendmcnl is . Council Member Habenicht
roiteraled thal her amendment is that anyone who would oornc in new 10 R-1-A would have IO
immediately go lhrough • oonditional use process . Those that are already existing and licensed that have
been covered under our moratorium ,.;u be grandfalhl:red in for lwo )'CalS. in which tiroe, or after which
time. whichever lhey would p..Cer, lhey would go for Ille oonditional use permit.
Council Member Waggoner furlher clarified that ii approves the ordinance as wrillcn, except lhat ii
grandfathers in lhose that existed prior 10 lune J, 19961.nd gives lhcm t"" years lo go through the
oonditi onal use process . Council Member Halh3way added that it adds Ille word "liccnaed" all lhc way
lhrough . Council Member Vonninag further clarified that this would be at the same address . Council
