cleansing. scrubbing an~ c ,oling unilS n,quircd for their mclll fuushing business. Mr. Scott Advised that
if they cannoc aa:cs, the b•j•<!ing on &anford. in addition ta hindering regular maintenance or Ote
building. there is a risk of ;pi lling pollutanlS and contaminanlS into the atmosphere . As it is proposed, he
noccd, Windsor lndustri t1 \\OUld ha,-e the right to fence and block off access and prevent the service or the I
roof units. He pointed oui tk1> originally the City considered \'acating this particular right-of-way, which
would still permit Front Range access to a 20 foot strip that 1>oold rc\'Crt back to them . Apparently, he
commented. Public Works decided that there was a possibility that Front Range would not sell that portion
or the right-or-way to Windsor Industries . He noted that the City, rather than allow that to happen .
elected to granl a temporary , private casement for that right-or•way . Mr . Scott questioned whether
Council has the authority, b)· Statute. to grant an easement or othciwise lease a stn:ct or alleyway under
CRS § 3 1-15-702 (I) (a) (I).
(b) Tom Francis, President or Windsor Industries. stated they n,qucsted that the City vacate
the SU<cl. Stanford, which ends in a cul-de-sac to the cast Mr. Francis explained that Windsor Industries
o"ns buildings on both sides or Stanford. using the building on the south for tr.lining purposes . He cited
problems associated ,vith the fact that the street ends in a cul-de-sac. i.e. inability to landscape , traffic
entering the area and turning around as they diSCO\u the dead-end . He C.'J>laincd that Windsor Industries
has 351:.cd the City to vacate that area "ith the idea that Windsor Industries "oold purchase from Front
R.ingc Plating their half of the stn:ct. ho\,~-er Front Range declined to do that. Consequent ly, Mr.
Francis stated their request is to lease the stn:ct from the City which pro,i des income and reduces
maintenance cost to the City and. in the C\·ent Windsor lllO\'CS. the Ci ty will still have street . In
addressing pmious comments made b)• Mr. Scot~ Mr. Francis pointed out that whcncvcr cranes have
appeared to scnicc the roof units at Front Range Plating they ha,,: al"~ys been situated cast of their
building on Windsor propcny. He noted Windsor h:ls RC\'Cr gi\'CO them any problem over lhat situation .
(c) Tish Beauford. President or the Englewood Junior Chamber or Commen:c (Jaycees),
ad1iscd that they arc sponsoring the Carson and Barnes Cin:us on August 12, 1995 at Stapleton Airport .

Council regarding Agenda Item 11 (a) (ii). He stated he is speaking on behalf of the Association 's
Englewood mcmbeBhip and in the name or good public policy. Mr. MccBman commented that thi s
proposal is ill advised and "ill pl~cc burdensome restrictions on a lot or people. He stated thal a better
way to handle the situation is to suspend. revoke or deny renewal 10 those licensees that arc causing
problenu. rather than subjecti ng all establishments to this proposed ordinance . Mr. Mcmman noted that
Section A or the proposed ordinance is already in the State Liquor Code and enforceable at this time . He
stated he feels Section Bis \'ague and. based on an opinion from the Attorney General's Office, is
unenforceable . He questioned the wording or Section B, i.e. who has to rcpon. definition ofimmediately
and disorderly act. He commented that unless the section is clearl y defined it "i ll be impossible to
interpret. Mr. Mccrsm.111 stated that suspension or rc\'oc:ation of a liquor license cannot occur for
violations of local ordinances. He stated that he and Ci ty Attorney Brotzman have discussed this issue
and disagree , as Mr. Brot i man argues that Home Ruic cities ma y enforce these types or regulations . Mr .
Mccrsman offered, as an altcrnath·c. free of charge the Association ·straining scmin:ir on responsible
alcohol scnicc. He stated they welcome the participation of the Englewood Police Ixpartmcnl. Mr .
Mccrsma.n concl uded by s.,ying 1h.11 he worries th.11 this proposed ordinance will create opportunities for
abuse and harassment. He urged Cou OO I ro take a strong look at the ordinance and \'Ole against it.

Nays: None
Motion carried and the publi c hearing opened .
All testimony was gi\'cn under oath.
Planning Administrator Still stated this is a public hearing for the South Denver Medical Plaza Planned
0.:--clopmcnt which is a dcv-clopmcnt for a 43.000 square fooc medical office buildin g located in the 3200
block of South Lincoln Strccl. He noted this mauer was brought before the Planning and Zoning
Commission and approved in April , 199 S with the condition that l"'O iSSlJCS that were not resol\'cd would
be rcsoh·cd before being prcscnlcd to Council for final consideration . The issues were that an agreement
be c.,ccuted bctl'-ccn the Archdiocese of Denver and the developer for additional parking and that
adequate protection be provided for the Coty ditch which runs through the parking lot 0181 is being
dc\'clopcd for this property. Both of the issues ha\"e been n:sol\"ed . Mr. Stitt advised that the appli cant
and their architect an: ready to make a formal presentation .
In response to Mayor Burns, Mr. Stilt advised that the agreement with the Archdiocese of Denver provides
for approximate ly 25 spaces in a parking lot that is operated by Saint Louis Chwch . He stated it is a
reciprocal agreement betwee n the corponuion dc\'cloping th is medical building and the Archdiocese so
that in the event Lhc Church requires additional parking for their functions in the C\'cnings or on
l'ttkcnds they can use the medical office building parking and the medical building will have ncccss to 25
spaces during business hours .
COUNCIL MEMBER HATHAWAY MOVED, AND !TWAS SECONDED, TO ADOPT STAFF
INFORMATION THAT CO UNCIL RE CEIVE D PREVIO US LY AND THE PLANNING AND
WNING COMMLSSION'S FINDINGS OF FACT.
In response to Mayor Bums. Mr. Still explained that the detention pond is designed so that water flowin g
off the site would leave tJ1c site at its historic rate in its undeveloped state and would be detained on the
site until it could flow off. Mr. Still added that this is a standard treatmen t for surface drainage.
Council Member Hathaway asked if there arc other areas in the Ci ty that ha\"e this type of surface
drainage. Planning Administrator Still staled that almost every development that has a high degree of
impcnncablc surface v,ould have some type or retention or detention , ii might be surface or roof top but
that is standard . Ms. Hatha\\~Y asked if we have had any problem l'ith those . Mr . Still anS\1~red not that
he is aware of.

Mayor Bums asked when: the wau:r goes when it lca,u the si te , Mr, Stilt Slated he is oot sure
specifically in this case, hoMMr gcocnlly lhe waler is directed to I stn:et or an alley. He noted that the
closest adjacent storm sewer in this i1151ana: is probably located at Lincoln or Floyd.
Council Member Waggoner noted that tlt is is true as long as it docs not drain cxccpl at hi!11oric rates . Mr .
Still stated he believes that is the standard.

Planning Administrator Still presented Proof of Notice of Publi c Hearing which w.LS published in the
Englewood Herald on July 20, 1995 .
!Cieri<·, note : Certification of Posting of oticc of Public Hearing was presen ted to the City Clerk . I
Frank RcnlCS. 320 1 Sou th Lincoln Stred. asked wha t \\i ll h.1ppcn to the nlley in the 3200 block of South
Lincoln Stree t. He stated ~,c retention pond for the alley is the center of the alley and when it rains the
water is approxim:llcl y eight to ten inches deep and docs not leave until lhc sun dissipates it. Mr. Rcmcs
stated this is the only alley between Lincoln Street an d Broadway that has Macadam (asphalt). all the
other alleys arc concrete from approximately Yale A\'cnuc to the 3600 ~,ock . lie stated he is very
concerned about the alley and the number of cars that an: going through the alley. He requested the City
count the number or cars acccssinr the allq· at the present time and then ttta.i n after the building is
constructed . Mr. Remos asked how high the medical building will be and if a traffic impact study"~
conducted for the intersection at Broadway and FlO)d A venue . He noted that for many years he has been
tl')ing to get the City to install a left tum sigMI going cast on Floyd Avenue and the City put up a no left
tum sign at that :ntcrsection . Mr . Rcmcs noted that unless yoo live in that area it probably docs not
bother yoo at all , Howc\'cr he lh'CS io that block and to tum south he must go around the block . He noted
that people cont inue to tum left at the intcrscclion a"'1 he asked that the City do somethi ng about that
intersection &nil allow a left tum . He stated this situation was created by tl,c City when they realigned that
street. If this build ing is constructed something should be done about that in tersection.
Paul F. Glo\'ka. 2757 South Bannock. swed it is his understanding that the City o"ns the propcny
between the public sidewalk and the str<c:I. If so. he asked why the property owner has the right 10 h.,vc
trees cut down in that area . He noted in the 2700 block of South Bannock and on Acoma there are three
big maple trees abou t 80 to 100 years old "ith a big X them. Mr. Glovka has been tol d the propcny
°"1\Crs wanl them taken out.
Mayor Bums explained 10 Mr. Glo,,ka Lhat he inadvertent ly signed up 10 speak at the public hearing
regarding the South Dcn\'er Medical Pl3Zll Planned Dc\'clopment. He assu red Mr . Glo\'ka th.it staff will
look into his oonccm. Mr. Glo\'ka added lhal rep.1iring the sidewalks is a waste or time as the
handicapped accessible areas arc hampered by the fact that cars consislently pan< across the si dewa lk in
the driveways .
Earl LadC\\ig. propcn y owne r in the 3200 block of South Lincoln Street , stated he addressed th e Planning
Commissio n on this issue and hi s concerns arc si milar to those expressed by Frank Rcmcs . He concurred
wilh Mr. Rcmcs comments rcg.1rding water l"Clcntion. noted that right now when it rains the water ju st
sL1nds there and unless the alley is rcpaincd it \\ill rema in quite a problem . Mr . Lade"ig sta ted he is a
propcny owner in the area. he h.15 seen the plons and has no objection to the medical building itself. He
noted traffic through that all ey tra\'CIS at 35 -10 mil es an hour to get away from the lights on Broadway
and the alley is not posted whh speed limh signs.

Council Member Habenicht asltal Mr. Ladewig for clarifK:ation of his concerns . She staled she
understands he docs not object to the building itself, that hi s concern is for the alley, i.e. alley drainage,
speed of traffic. She asked what his real cona:m is and what remedy he is seeking . Mr . Ladewig stated
he reiterated Mr. Rcmcs comment&, that the alley !s in need of repair, the alley ;5 used as a highway, the
alley cum:ntly retains its own water whenever it rains. He noted with a Macadam parking lot and the
additi on of the medical build ing there is going lo be more "ater run off. He staled Iha! people use the
all ey instead or Broadway and trn,-cl al the same speed or raster than they would along Broadway.
Counci l Member Habenicht concluded that his concern is that , with the addition or this medical building.
alley traffic will increase and "ill cxaa:rbate the speeding problem. Mr. Ladewig sta led these arc his
concerns .
Council Member Hathaway noted Mr. Ladewig commented at the Planning and Zoning Commission
Public Hearing that he is conccmcd that the wooden rena: on his south property line woold be damaged.
As he did not mention this cona:m this evening she'asked Mr. Ladewig irthe issue has been resolved.
Mr . Ladewig staled that he has been told that the curb line or the parking lot that will be on the north end
or that property will be at least li\'c fret away from his wooden foncc . He staled the dc:\-clopcr, hn\'e been
\'Cf)' coopcml.i\'C,
Counci l Member Habenicht asked that staff address the concerns expressed by Mr. Remcs and Mr.
L.,d.,.ig.
Mayor Bums staled he also has oonccms alx>ut 1hc drainage issue and 1raffic problems in the alley which
he would like addressed .
James C. Morgan. Vice President or Lee Architects. sta ,ed he wanted lo address tho concerns that ha\'e
been expressed this evening. The detention designed for the property is on the southwest portion or the
building and the discharge is into Easl Floyd A\'cnuc, not into the alley . He noted there is no aa:css from
their development into the adjacent alleyway . Mr . Morgan stated the Planning and Zoning Commission
has charged them with improving the existing public righ1-<1r-way with rcspcct 10 all the concrete curbs,
si~ewalks, etc . adjacen t to the da-clopment for both the building site itself and the adjacent parking lot
site. He staled this was agreed 10 and accepted as a conditio n of the Planning Commission approval. The
proposed dc·\'clopment . he noted. is "ithin the rcsidenlial heigh! limit which is not to exceed 35 feet.
Mayor Burns stated he noticed on the pla1is that there is a detention pond area on the nonhwcst comer of
the parking lot 10 the north or the building. Mr. Morgan apologi ,.cd and staled there is a portion or the
parking lot on the north side or the building where the p.irking lot itsclr "ill be used as the detention pond
and another portion in the southwest part .
Mayor Burns asked for the location of n:lcasc for the detention pond on th e nonhcasl p.1rt \.d .he parkin g
101. Mr. Morgan staled that docs go into the alley .
Mayor Bums asked if he or .-'taJT has measured to de1erminc what kind ,1storic now there has been from
this si te into Ute alley or if the)' arc awaJt tha.l the alley has sunk and retains water. Mr . Morg.in stated
that is probably a true sta temr.nt as the alley is in pretty L>Jd condition so water th.ii runs through lhcrc is
subject 10 seepage 10 the substnxt.
Council Member Waggoner sta ted there is a stalcmcnt in the recommendati ons. and he assumes this
proposed development is subject 10 the recommendations , that says all adjacent concrete must be brought
up 10 City standards . He noted there an: two different types or concrete , one that is made with cement and
one is made with asphalt . Mr. Waggoner stated asphaltic concn:te is whal is used in thal all ey so he
assumed that thi s means that the adjaa:nt alley "i ll be brought up lo Cit y standa rds . Mayor Bums stated
he has the same question . Mr. Morgan stated he reels they would agree 10 the requirement 10 bring up 10
City standards the portion all ey that is adjacen t 10 their property. r.o un ci l Member Waggoner asked ;r it
would be cement concrete . Mr. Morga n staled it would probably be as phalt P,1\ing . Mr. Waggone r stated
~ood City CCN111tll
Aap117, 199S ,..,.,
that asphalt Just docs not hold up in alleys and noted his pcnonal prcfercnoe would be for the alley to be
pa,ul "i lh cement concrclc .
Kirby Roa, n:prcscnting 3299 South Lincoln Stnx:t Partncnhip. noted they have no vehicular access to
the alley way . He stated they recognize the condilioo or the alley, but that he cannot speak as to whether
they ,-;11 """'to 1<>1ally redo the alleyway in concrete .
In n:sponsc to Mayor Bums, Mr . Morgan stated he reels it is fair to say the alley, all the way through that
block. is in a substandard state .
Council Member Wiggins suggested, as an alternative, letting the water drain 10 Floyd rather than leuing
it go to the alley . He asked if that would be morc aa:cptable to the dcvclopors than rq,airing the alle)'
way. as it appcan the alley is the City 's problem . Mr. Morgan stated they would a&r= to make that
adjustment to the drainage plan and connect it back to the detention on Floyd. Mayor Bums asked ir there
is eoougb room next to the bu ilding to do that. Mr. Morgan advised that they can hold the detention and
just have controlled disbursement. The consensus or Council is that this is acceptable. Mayor Bums
Sl3led that is a good solu tion . Council Member Hatha"~Y asked if staJT agn:cs "ith this as well.
Planning Administrntor Still advised that the nonnal proa:dun: for upgrading an alley or street is to pl ace
it in a pa,ing distri <1 . Consequently, staJT suggests that at such time as the cntirc alle)' needs to be
rcpa\'cd that i! be handled in that manner and thal this dc\'clopmcnt not be required to make any
irnprm-cmcnts to the alley. Discussion ensued.
Council Member Habeni cht asked if any traffic impact studies have been done rclath·c to the intersection
or Flo)'d and Broadway. Mr. Morgan Sl3lcd they "•re not n:quircd to do a lnlflic impact study . He noted
they ha,-.: a total or 141 parl<ing spaces. including lhc parking spaces they have access to through the
nx:iproca.l p:uk ing agreeme nt , which is a fairly minor impact in terms of traffic count on a roadway .
Mayor Bums staled he has wondered about this as the intencction or Floyd and Broadway is an ongoing
issue. He asked if Director Esterly had any comment as to whether this development will have any impact
on lha1 in1crsoction.
Public Works Director Esterly slated that when lh is proposed project wen t through the review process they
looked at the traffic impacts of it and the traffic that will be generated from lhis silc is minor in relation to
tl1c total traffic at that intersection . Consequently. the City did not require any special traffic studies for
this particular development at tha t loca tion . Mr. Est erly advised lhnt then, arc on-going studies of that
location.
Council Member Habenicht stated that Mr. Esterly indica1cd that there is not a significant Impact from
th is panicuJar proposed dC\•clopmcnt. how"Cvcr other comments indicate there is a significant problem at
that location . She asked if. even though the proposed development will not signifi cantly impact the area,
it could possibly make it a li!Uc bit "'"sc. Direct or Esterly staled that every development that occurs
anywhere along the Broa dway corridor could be construed as impacting this particular intersection and
that includes project s as far down as Highlands Ranch . He maintained lhnt the n<1gnitudc of the traffic
generated by thi s dc\'clopmcnt "i ll not h.1\'C a noticeable impact on the intersecti on .
Council Member Halhaway staled that Post Office traffic Impacts thi.11 intersection nnd whe n King Soopcrs
expands thei r parking 101 it "ill imp.1ct that in tersect ion . She asked ir the City has n:quircd them to put
contingel1C)' funds into perhaps upgrading the signal at that intersection . Ms . Hathaway stated ifwc hnvc
not then it seems unrealistic to rcquirc this applicant to do so. Director Ester ly stated that they have not
rcquired an)1hing or King Soopers as far as upgrading that signa l, however as they control the property at
that intersection they arc commiued to a future acquisition or right-<>f•way along Floyd that will allow for
an additional lane for turning movements at that loca tion . He added thnl this project docs not control

(a) Appro,~ on First Reading
(i) Dinxtor Esterly pn:scnled a n,commenda tion fo,m the Dcpartmen.t of Publi c
Works to adopt a bill for an ordinance authorizing the City to cnlcr into a :case agreement "ith Windsor
Industries for their use of a uact ofland held by the City as right-of-way for Stanford A\'enuc . He
explained that this proposal was initiated by Community OC\-c:lopmcn1 as an economic dc\'clopmcnt issue .
Ch~r the last eight years. he ootcd. Windsor has assem bled parcels of propcny as its operations have
continued to expand. Mr. Esterly Slated that lease of the right-of-way \\ill provide incrascxl security and
allow men cfricicnt use of l\'lllable land for partting and landscaping. He Slated it is unlikely that
Stanford will be extended continuously to the cast as the~= significant grade problems in addition to
the City ditch being there. He ooted the ad>antage to the City in providing a long tenn lease is that if
Windsor decides to disassemble the propcny the City would still ha,~ the public right-<>C-way to sm,e all
the parccls that would then exist ar1in . StalTbelicvcs they ha,~ negotiated a fair lease proposal with
Windsor Industries and ~commend that Council approve the lease.
Council Member Hatha"~Y asked City AUornC)' Brotzman if appro,~I of this lease can be mad e
contingcr.t on a signed agreement between Windsor and Front Range Plating for Front Range 10 have
access to that propcny. Ci ty Auorncy Brotzman stated the onl y panics to the lease m the City and
Windsor as the City owns that propcny .
Director Esterly pointed out that Item No . S of the lease. which addresses "Rights ofGrantor". states that
the City of Englewood "n:scrvcs the full right to the undisturbed 0"11crsh ip. use and occupancy of the
Easement Propcny in.'-Dfar as said ownership, use. and occup,mcy is consi51ent with and docs 1101 impair
the rights granted 10 Grantee ." Funhennorc , he staled, ii says that if we go in there and disturb anything
it is Windsor Industries ' rcsponsibilil y lo pay for any damage that is done .
Cllu ndl Member Hathaway stated that she is asking. if Front Range needs the access and cannot get the
access because the City has granled this agreemen t to Windsor Industries. who has to enforce it. City-
Alt umey Brotzm3n advised that the City must provide enforcement Council Members Waggoner and
Hathaway stated that 1hcy feel the Ci1y should have th is in \\riling .
Cit y Manager Clark statc.d the City re•ains some casements in the agreement and asked ifan casement can
be retained frt r Front Range to access the propcn y.

(ii) Director Gryglcwicz pr=nted a recommendation from the Dcpart.'TICnt of
Financial Ser.i ces to adopt a bill for an ordinance amending the Liquor Licensing Authority section or the
Englewood Municipal Code relating to conduct ofliquor establishments by adding Section 12 to Title S.
Cha pter J A. He explained that Section 12 . paragraph A addresses the conduct of the licensed
establishment and mirrors State Statute. Section 12, paragraph B sets fonh the n,quircments for reporting
of any unlawful or disonlcrl y act and Section 12. paragraph C establishes the penalty for violations of
these sections.
In response to Co uncil Member Hathaway, City Attorney Brotzman confirmed that paragraph A is Ilic
Slate Liquor Code , paragraph B is not in the S1a1e Liquor Code . He explained tha t paragraph B basically
requires a phone ca ll to lite police dcpannicnt if there is a ba r fi ght. Mr . Brotzman noted that most of the
liquor licensees call the poli ce . hpwcvcr. t~ City has had two incidents were bar fights moved ou1 into th e
scrcc1 and the police were n01 called. Both cases came before the Liquor Licens ing Au1hori1y and because
we did not have lhis requ irement in our code we were somewhat restricted ,
Council Member Hathaway asked. in answer to Mr . Mccrsman 's question. whether Home Ruic cities can
cnfon:c different standards of Stale regulations as paragraph Band C arc EnglC\\<>Od 's modificalion of the
Liquor code. City Attomey Brotzman stated Engl ewood is a Honic Ruic municipality and the Attor ucy
Gcncrars opinion. which is included in Council's packet , is in response 10 • statutory city . He confirmed
that as a Home Ruic municipal ity we can enact legislation in th.is area as Denver. LittJcton. Westminster
and Aurora already ha\'e . He staled the language in paragraph B and C mirrori the language in all of the
municipalities that have adopted lhcsc restrictions . Mr . Brot1.m.1n stated that there is no cri minal penalty
under paragraph C. He explained that police calls arc not held against the li censee al Ilic to me of renewal ,
bul , if they do not call in a liquor viola1ion , lhai is held against the lice nsee .
Cou nci: Member Hatha\li"n)' stated Lhru Mr. Mccrsman also mentioned the wording in paragraph Band she
