7. Non-scheduled V1s1tors
(a) Jeanne HcWil l iams. of Meeker, appeared on behalf of her mother.
Helen HcWil l; ams, 3795 South Grant. She stated she had been under the mis·
taken impression, after speaking to Council March 25th , that Council had real-
ly listened to the valid case she and the other cit ize ns had presented. She
expressed her anger over learning that Council had reaffirmed their commit -
ment to proceed with the Concrete Replacement District No . 1991. at the study
session April 1st .
Mayor Van Dyke stated, she too felt they had reached an accord at the March
25, 1991 City Council Meeting . She advised Ms. HcWilliams that official ac-
tion i s never taken in study session. Hs . Van Dyke noted she had understood
the opportunity to reassess would be provided to everyone in the district;
~rimari l y addressing hazardous concrete .
Hs . Williams stated she didn't feel that had happened. She als o was concerned
that the city was only re-examin i ng concrete pursuant to a complaint. Hs.
McWilllams stated her mother had contacted all those who signed the petition
she had subm i tted at the March 2~, 1991 meeting . Many of them interpreted the
April 8th letter as the final say in the matter and felt to protest further
would be to no avail .
Ms . McWllliams advised Council she had written to Mr . Est erly requesting
specifics on development of the concrete criteria and up-to-date job descrip -
tion for Isadore Bueno and Hr . Esterly; his response did not address her con -
cerns. She complained about the length of time it took to respond.
Ms. McWilliams assumed , from Mr . Esterly 's response, that Hr. Bu eno does not
have an Engineering Degree ; she questioned his qualifications for marking the
concrete. She noted that several areas i n the City of Englewood have been
repaired with asp halt . When her mother questioned Mr. Esterly regarding th is
he had rep l ied the City ha s a budget to adhere to. She pointed out that
citizens are also on budge ·.s. Ms. Hclolilliams commented on an article i n the
Sentinel , that spoke to th e fact , that people had volunteered to pa r ti cipate
in t he program . She took exception to this as the letter they had received
mandate d the ir participation .
Mayor Van Dyke explained th at c i tizens residing ou t side the di s tr i ct have been
given the opportunity to voluntarily replace their co ncrete .
Ms . McWilliams requested t he program be te r minated at this t i me .
COUNCIL MEMBER KOLTAY MOVED AND IT WAS SECONDED, TO BRING FORWARD AGENDA ITE M

Motion carried.
He stated he felt It appropriate , at this time, to he Y the cit,zens wi shing
to address th i s iss ue.
(b) Glenn Thach, 4201 Sou th Pearl , spoke In opposition to the Concrete
Replacement Dis trict No. 1991. He agreed with the corrrnents made by Ms. McW i l -
liams . Hr . Thach felt the project had been inconsistent and gro~sly mi s-
managed. He was very upset with the fact that concrete was re-evaluated onl y
if requested to do so. He noted many citizens were unaware of that option.
He felt the procedure was knowingly misleading and Irresponsible. Mr . Thach
asked Counc i l to reconsider the program. He brought up the suggestion made by
Ms. McWilliijmS at the March 25th meeting, to increase the mill l evy to address
the sidewalk replacement issue .
He reiterated it was his understanding the City of Englewood is the only major
city In the area that holds the residents completely responsible for concrete
replacement.
He questioned why the City's budget is SS00,000 behind in concrete repair; and
what happened to the funds allocated for that purpose.
City Manager Fraser stated all the money allocated for concrete repair has
been spent for that purpose . Between 1987 and 1989 the City did not allocate
money for concrete improve111ents, because the City did not have a capital pro-
gram at that time . The capital program is being re-estab l ished this year.
City concrete will also be replaced during this program, at a cost of
$300 ,000 .
Council Member Clayton stated that because of the downturn 1n the economy, the
City has exp erienced some shortfalls in revenue, and with~ut a tax increase,
the money has not been there for capital improvements . He noted there are
approximately 1200 families paying for conc r ete they've already had replaced.
Hr. Clayton stated he Is unable to come up with a fair way to assess the con -
crete replacement charges. Discussion ensued regarding calcu l ating a property
tax i ncrease to cover the cost of concrete replacement .
Mayor Van Dyke noted his is a valid discussion, but it ne eds to be address ed
by a sub-conrnlttee or at the administration level, at another t ime . She asked
that they focus on the immediate concern as to whether the concrete replace-
ment prog ram sh ould b€ appr ov ed or examine othe r alternatives .
Mr . Thach fe l t the study s ess ion notes indicate the i ss ue wa s no t approp riate-
l y ad dre ssed .
Mayor Van Dy ke st at ed Council is reticent to address rai s in g property ta xe s a s
Cotin c i 1 has be en very f i r m, for t he 1 ast 4 to S years ha rroperty taxes
sh ou l d not be r aised.
Hr. Th ac agree d. s tating t he i ssue neefls to be explored further , ~:,d he re-
quested the project bP put on ho ld .

Mr . Wiggins noted Mr. Thach has one section marked as mandatory .
Mr . Thach stated he Is standing up for all the citizens who are Intimidated by
Council and are unwil 11 ng to come forward. He noted he disagrees, in pr in -
ci pa 1, with the program.
Council Member Clayton noted a mill levy is assessed against business property
at twice the rate of re~idential property. He advised Mr . Thach that Council
has spent a cons i derable amount of time in the la st three years discussing
other ways to address this issue; and while i t may seem the study sess i on came
along and there was no discussion, in ac tuality, this has been a vigorously
debated i s s ue.
Hr. Thach stated he had been advised by an engineer at Harding, Lawson & As -
sociates that spalling concrete is not necessarily bad . He stated he is still
concerned with the method of marking concrete for removal. He a pp rec i ated
Council listening to his concerns.
{cl Robert Hickle, 3680 South Elati, spoke concerni ng the alley east of
the 3600 block South Elati Street . He and his neighbors had misunderstood the
Intent of the district, as they thought it only encompassed sidewalk repair.
They felt they were "stuck" with the district. He reviewed specific problems
Nith the alley. He felt it wou l dn't be long before the cement would begin
cracking without a sub-base, as the City intends to put in 8" of concrete with
no reinforcement. Hr. Hickle stated he and his neighbors don 't feel the alley
needs to be repaired.
Member Hathaway stated the al1 •iy was part of an improvement plan at least 3
years ago and it was brought t., ouncil 's attention by residents living im-
mediately behind the apartment t ::ilding. She noted, the current manager of
Villa Parada Apartments, appeared before Council at the Public Hearing, March
25th and addressed some of their dra i nage problems; they are wi 11 i ng to pay
for repairs in their portion of t he alley.
(d) Edra Stan l ey, 3895 South Grant,
in opposit i on to the concrete rep l acement
about the time limit they've been given.
Sl,700.00 more than the first estimate.

She stated her last estimate was
Counc i l Member Bullock asked how she would feel about being exempted from the
district this year and bei ng put on notice for next year. Ms . Stanley stated
it mi ght help , but she would still have to pay for it.
(e ) Shirley Condrea y, 3886 So uth Elati , stated she wa s oppo s ed to re -
pairs in t he alley eas t of the 3600 block of South Elati St r eet.
(f) Ken Condreay , 3690 South Elati, s tated he was opp ose d to re pa i r s in
the al l ey east of the 3600 block of South E1ati Street.
Jeanne McWi lliams ca me forward aga in to s t ~t& she wo uld be glad to mee t with

She addressed Hr . Bullock 's question to Ms. Stanley, regarding dela ying her
r e placement one year . Ms . McWil 1 i ams felt defe r ri ng replace ment one ye ar
would no t be ac ceptable , as they do not want this expenditure hang i ng over
th ei r he ads. Ms . Mcwilliams read the sect i on of the April 8th letter to res i -
dent s, add ressing marg i nal concrete . She s t ated a Public Works official had
adv i sed that wi th i n the next two yea r s, t he ma r g in al co ncrete would nee d to be
rep l aced . She stated she does con s ider some concrete a hazard .
Ms . McW i 11 i ams noted Counc i1 ha d ment i on ed some peop 1 e had al ready pa id for
concrete replaceme nt; she advised Counc il her fa t her ha d also prev i ously pa id
the Ci t y for Concre t e repai r s a few yeas ago.
Co unc il Me mber Cla yton commente d that Pavin g Di s tr i ct No . 34 i s alm os t at the
end of a ten year program to re -pave the entire City , which has included con-
crete s idewalk rep l acement .
Counc i l Me mber Ko ltay po i nted out he d i d advise Ms. HcWill i ams of the discu s-
sion during study ses s ion and he had tr i ed to explain t o her that formal ac -
tion occurs during regular City Council meetings . He noted all of the dates
for the Concrete Replacement Prog r am had been publi s hed , and the property
owne r s had rece i ved notice of t he f i nal read i ng scheduled for May 6th .
Discussion ensued regarding the confusion among citi zen s regard i ng study
session .
Council Member Koltay stated we are not do i ng a pavement overlay and so it is
not an issue in th i s part i cular district, as they are replac i ng concrete .
Patching ~aterials were discussed. He also stated he felt a tax increase to
cover concrete replacement is a gross inequity to most of the c i tizens of the
COnfflunity. Everyone owning property in the c ity wil l be faced with repairs to
the i r concrete; how they may choose to pay for it is another i ssue .
l'ls . HcWilliams suggested a letter be sent to c i tizens asking if they would
rathe r see th e ir taxes i ncreased or pay the concrete re pl acement ou t of the i r
pocket. Mayor Van Dyke agreed it was a possibility.
Dis cuss ion ensued regarding the payment made by Ms . McWil 1 i ams parent s i n
1971 .
Counc il Membe r Ko l tay stated he had an equal nu mber of people reque s ting in -
clu si on in the distr i c t and he would want i np ut from staff a s to how these
people wou l d be affected by put ting off a portion or al l of the d i str ict. He
perso nall y fe lt t he re is never a good t i me to r e pl ace con cre t e .
Ms . McWil 1 i ams as ked Co un ci 1 t o remembe r that a 1 a t of t he conc rete mar ked is
not ~azar dous. She al so denied tha t any of her mo t her 's concre t e presen t s a
ha:ard.
Counci l Me mber Hab enicht noted a study gr oup would be appointed t o rev i ew fu-
t ure conc re t e re placement, whi ch she su ppo rts, as it is a ve r y com plex iss ue .
Some of t he remedi e s Cou nci l had hoped would t ake pl ac e, pr i or t o the s eco nd

From her perspective, the concrete portion of the Paving District No. 34, wa s
in it i a 11 y 1 nc l uded to respond to Counc 11 Member Ko ltay' s request to inc 1 ude
two alley ways in the district. Council i ntended to include additional con ·
crete beyond that wh i ch is in the right-of-way for those who volu~teered. The
mot i vation for creating the concrete portion of the paving district was one of
convenience for the residents and property owners; now it was pr imarily to
address the serious conditions of deteriorating and hazardous concrete In t he
district or City. She felt it would be appropriate to reevaluate this prog r am
and postpone further action on concrete unt il a more equitable program hat
addresses the Ci ty 's most deteriorated and hazardous concrete is devised.
COUNCIL MEMBER HABENICHT MOVED, AND IT NAS SECONDED, TO REMOVE FROl1 PAVING
DISTRICT HO. 34 ALL CONCRETE WORK IIHICH JS HOT VOLUNTARY.
Council Mem;;er Hathaway suggested that the motion be clarified to reflec t that
concrete work to be removed is from Concrete Replacemen t District No. 1991,
not Paving District No . 34. Council Membe r Habenicht accepted it as a
friendly amendment .
Counci 1 Member Bullock suggested Council consider exempting the people who
feel there has not been enough time or that the concrete markings have been
ar-h'trarily made. He felt those exempted should realize the i ssue will be re-
~ a111 1ned next year . It would give Council an opportunity to examine the is-
,u~s in a more consistent manner; perhaps looking into patching. Mr. Bullock
o ffered a friendly amendnent tl,at NOTICE BE GIVEN TO THOSE EXEMPTED, THAT THE
ISSUES NILL BE RE-EIMJNED NEXT YEAR TO INCLUDE PATCHING IDEAS Mil RE-
EXANJNATJOH OF THE CONCRETE .
City Attorney DeW itt suggested that Council Member Bullock's friendly amend -
ment be considered in a separate motion in order to keep the leg islation
clean.
Council Member Bullock withdrew his motion.
Discussion ensued regarding the implic at io ns of Council Member Habenicht's
motion.
Council Member Cl ayto n wanted to make sure that if the motion is approved,
those people in the district that want to take care of their concrete at thi s
time and ta ke advantage of the financing would be allowed to.
In response to concerns expressed by Counc i 1 Member Hathaway , City Att orn ey
DeWitt noted that citizens who have already poured their concrete are no t part
of the District .
City Manager Fraser explained, at the pre sent time, there are approxi mately
370 properties included in the district. Three hund red of the properties were
in cluded originally In the concrete program, with most of those ident i fi ed as
mandatory replacement. The f i nancing and the cost of financing for th i s dis -
trict was based on a certain number of propert i es and a certain volu me of re -
pair. If this proposed amendment were to pass , the City would have to re-
assess the costs per property . It co uld dramatically affe ct the cost.
Englewood Ctty Council, "'Y &, 1991
Page 8
Council Member Clayton po i nted out they have heard very little opposition lo
the Concrete District , other than from Hs . HcWilliams and Mr. Thach. He sug-
gesti;d it would be appropriate to exempt their properties for another ye ar ,
but he does n~t agree with pulling the di strict.
Council Member Koltay questioned how thi s amendment would affe ct the scheduled
June 21, 1991 final date for concrete cons t ruction . He al so que stioned the
general impact of backing the project up 30 days .
Hr. Esterly stated they are working on a very tight schedule, and backing the
project up 30 days can create construct i on problems towards the end of the
year; i .e., when final pavement patches can be made at the end of the program .
He noted they can easily mar.e arrangements for people making a firm co1m11tment
to be included in the district and assessment process. Hr. Koltay discus sed
the issue of cutting some of the concrete along the roadway. He understood i t
was not the pr eferred method . Hr . Esterly advised , that as soon as labor is
involved in th e process, 1t will be more expen,tve . He stated he would be
unwilling to recommend it as a good alternative ; it would be difficult to get
a contractor to guarantee the work for any period of time, and they do not
have a history of work experience in traffic areas. On a larger scale, Mr.
Esterly's not convinced the concept of patching would be chea per .
Council Member Habenicht questioned the effect, in terms of cost, of removing
all but the voluntary paving from the concrete portion of the district .
Hr. Esterly stated 1t would reduce the bonds sold by about 40'X. overall, drop-
ping from $532 ,000 worth of work to $332,000. One of the Impacts would be
some of the small fees would be imposed on the other participants.
Mayor Van Dyke reiterated the opportunity would be provided to people i n the
mandatory district to do their concrete on a volunteer basis.
Mr. Esterly emphasized that the intention of the letter sent out reconfirming
the City's position to proceed with the dis trict was to bring people forward
if they wished to discuss the district further, and to keep them informed.
Every property owner in the distr ic t r eceived the letter. Out of 300 property
owners, Public Works received requests fr om abo ut 25 people to have their
property re-examined, which was done .
Counci l Member Hathaway referred to Mr . Esterly 's previous commen that patch
might end up be i ng higher than just having the concrete re placed. She asked,
under our current building permit system, if we allow people t o patch concrete
in the City of Englewood.
Hr. Esterly sta ted our current regulations and standard s do not allow
patching .
Council Member Koltay stated he believes Coun cil ha s the au t ho rity o r em ove
peop l e on a case by case ba s is , those that have petitione d t o be r emo ved, as
they have in past dis tr icts. He f e lt thi s was the step lo take at t his time.
as he could not s upport removi ng a large port i on of the distri ct.

City Manager Fraser, responding to Mayor Van Dyke , stated Council has several
options:
-by mot i on del e te a group of people ;
by motion amen d the district to include specific properties;
proceed with t he district and direct staff to work wit h indi-
viduals to come to conclusi ons with respect to their indiv id ual
properties .
There are a number of things that can be done with respect t o the final ad -
ministration of this distr ic t. If Council were to adopt the ordinance as
presented this evening, staff would proceed as the distr i ct is formulated ,
then provide additiona l direct i on to staff with respect to how that i s covered
for the property owners with on -going concerns . They could amend by specific
address those properties or i ginally identified as being a part of the dis-
trict . If they c hose to amend the council bill, it would have to be re -
pub l ished in full . nd considered for final reading again in two weeks.
Mayor Van Dyk e asked for th e time limit for a property owner to peti ti on for
removal from the district .
City Manager Fraser stated Council could amend •t tonight, bring it back in
two weeks, amend it again and start the process all over . The unfortunate
part is if Council does not pass the ordinance on final reading, staff would
not be able to proceed with the bonds , and that strategy could feasibly defeat
the entire district.
Council Member Koltay stated he intends , after the vote on the other issue, to
make a motion to remove from the district all residents who have requested it.
Counc11 Member Bullock questioned how Council intends to identify the resi -
dents to be removed fr0111 the district.
Council Member Koltay sta ed he had received three letters 1n protest . He
would recommend they be removed from the district.
CI ty Manger Fraser advised Council of another letter that had been received
r eque s ting removal from t he distri ct from Bernard ine Hanson, 3796 South Sher-
an Street.
Discussion ensued regarding the ind i viduals that would be removed from the
di stric t.
Ci ty Attorney De Witt s tated he would like t o confirm that the residents to be
exe mp t are part of the concrete district.
Mr. Esterly noted the alley east of the 3600 block of So uth Ela ti Street ,
whi ch Mr . Mickle spoke to , is part of the paving district , not t he co nc ,·ete
d i strict.
Coun c i l Member Bullock asked Edr a Stanley i f she would li ke to be re moved fro m
the distri ct . Ms. Stanley st ated she was no t quite sure what t hat me ant.
Mayor Van Dyke explained it basic al ly mean t , at thi s t i me , she woul d not be

Council Member Habenlc~t expressed concern for the people who are unaware of
the opportunity to be removed from the district; particularly in light of all
the misunderstandings that have occurred.
City Manager Fraser stated a number of residents have volunteered to partici -
pate in the district. We have the proviso, to exc lu de peop l e fr om the forc ed
aspects of this district i f they voluntarily seek to have the concrete re-
placed. This al lows the City some discretion between now and June 21st to
work with those owners, and to come up with an acceptab le convnitment from them
to take care of the concrete . They do not necessarily have to participate in
the district at this point and we have some time frame flexibility. The resi-
dents are co11111itted to take care of concrete targeted for mandatory replace-
ment, and the City needs to seek some means for getting it repaired .
Council Member Hathaway noted the council bil l will come before Council at the
next meeting on second reading , she questioned whether they could accept any
requests for exemptions received between now and then .
City Attorney DeWitt stated they would have to amend the counc 11 bill again
and have another reading.
Counci I Member Hathaway felt Council Member Habenicht was concerned that we
may not have addressed everyone that wanted to be considered, and Council does
have the option to a111end the council bill at the next meeting.
H1yor Van Dyke asked City Manager Fraser if Ms. Habenicht's concern could be
addressed administratively.
City Manager Fraser felt at some point Council should take a stand. Council
has had an opportunity to l t s ten to concerns, and taken steps to deal with
those properties. He stated staff will do everything possible to mitigate the
negative effects. However, we have concrete throughout the City that needs to
be repaired. Since 1962 It has been a policy of this City that the citizens
pay for repairs to their adjoining property. He again encouraged Council to
proceed, and deal with individuals experiencing hardship . we have the financ-
ing option, as well as several other things that can be done to mitigate fis-
cal effects of the district. Technically, Council could amend this again ,
however there is a date beyond which we cannot get the bonds done and proceed
with the work in a t im ely manner. The amendment tonight sets the program back
another two weeks; and he felt anything beyond this puts the end of the proj-
ect in jeopardy. When concre te work is done adjacent to the pave men t, they
cut into the pave ment and go back and pat ch it. As it is now the district
will be concluded in September and we will be gett Ing into freezing wea ther
when the patches wi l l be difficu l t to attain . Mr . Fra ser felt another two
week de lay was not appropriate.
Counci 1 Me mber Habenicht stated s he unders Lands Hr . Fr aser's co ncerns; she
asked about the pos s ib i l ity of hav i ng an open motion t hat wo uld al low r es i-
dents , between now and the nex t meeting, the opportunity o be included in th e
mot ion ; she felt this would be a little more eq uitable .

City Attorney DeWitt st ated the opt i on Council has Is to table the motion and
act on it at the next meeting. The problem is It wil l add two more weeks to
the sc hedule . In response to Member Habenicht' s open motion inquiry, he
stated it would not be possible , as the legisla ti on would fail basic constitu-
tional requirements.
Councll Member Kolta _y stated he believes he must represent his ent i re dis -
tr i ct. He feels all the residents i n the district have had the same oppor -
tunitie s as the indiv i duals present. He noted he ls con fident , at this point
t hat Coun c il has reached resolution with a large number of people in the dis-
trict; he has encouraged residents with concerns to come forward and address
the Issues. He feels Council should go forward with the d is trict .
Council Member Clayton stated he resides in the district and he wa s notified
in a timely fashion . He feels Council has demonstrated their will lngness to
hear citizen co11111ents and change the criteria, and has been willing to exempt
certain propert i es from the district. He agreed i t is time to move forwa rd.
It was confirmed that people i n the paving distri ct and the concrete replace-
ment district are operat i ng with i n the same time frame .
Council Member Hathaway noted the alley east of the 360 0 block of South Elati
Street Is part of Paving District No . 3' and it was deferred a couple of years
ago. Ms . Hathaway requested staff send a letter to Robert Mickle, Shirley
Condreay and Ker. Condreay outlining the history of this alley and why it is
being piVed as part of Paving District No. 34, She did not feel it was ap-
propriate at this time to remo~e the alley from the paving di strict. She not-
ed there has been test im ony in favor of the repairs from close to three
fourths of that bl ock.
Council Member Habenicht stated she supports Paving District No. 34; however,
she has a problem with the Concrete Replacement Distr i ct No. 1991. Because of
this, she feels compelled to vote against Paving District No. 34 .

(h) Steve Puryear, 2320 West Harvard Avenue, submitted a petition
signed by residents of West Harvard Avenue requesting a reduction of the speed
l i mit on West Harvard . They wo uld like to discourage traffic going to and
from the junk yards and crusher .
Council Member Hathaway questioned Hr . Pur ye ar re gard i ng his con cerns, and
noted his close proximity to the Alternat ive High School. Hr. Pu ryea r agreed
a lot of the speeding down Harvard could be a t tributed to the students.
Mayor Van Dyke advised the citizens the petition submitted would be passed on
to admlnlstrat i on to analyze their concerns, and come back with a
reconvnendation.
(1) Art Hoss, 2330 West Harvard Avenue, advised Counci l that two weeks
ago, while att empting to slow someone speeding, six guys jumped Hr. Puryear
and beat him up. These people have been evicted since that incident. In the
last year he stated he had complained to police approximately 60 times in a
five week period . He was told by an officer that until a ch i ld was hit , a car
was hit or property was damaged, there was nothing they could do.
{j) Bill Hiller, 2319 West Harvard Avenue, stated he 1 Ives across the
street from a home where there have been serious problems for the last three
months. He complained of pol Ice response time and stated their lives have
been threatened. He contended the neighbors were dealing In drugs. Hr.
Hiller requested the police department change their scanning system. He em -
phasized the seriousness of the situation.
Council Member Hathaway suggested they set up a neighborhood watch and she
volunteered to help facilitate the program . Hr. ~iller was agreeable.
(k) Inez Miller, 2319 West Harvard Avenur!, repeated her husband's con-
cerns. She noted when they call the pol ice t o report an incident, the cars
acro s s the street are gone within 5 minutes.
(l) Hark Gibbings , 2340 West Harvard Avenue , stated he had just pur -
chased his home and he too complained of the excessive speed of cars traveling
West Harvard . He expressed concern for the safety of the children .
(m) Bret Lu dwig, 2266 West Harvard Avenue, no ted his wife Lind a was
also present. He concurred with his neighbors' comments.
Mayo r Van Dyke agreed it appeared to be a very serious problem. She observe d
they seem t o have a good neighborhood gro L. that is willing to work together,
which wil l be a key component to changin g th ings.
Inez Miller stated that other ne i ghbors shoul d have been pre s ent, but "th ey
are scared to death."

Englevood City Council, Nay 6, 1991

Nays : Non~
Motion carried .
City Atto-ney DeWitt submitted a resolution, to be considered by Council, with
respect to the Home Lumber Company property dea l ing with various aspects of
the annexation as proposed in Council Bill No . 18 .
All testimony was presented under oath.
Dor othy Romans, retired Planning Administrator, Co11111unity Deve lop me nt , was
asked to stand in for Richard Wanush , Director of Co11111unity Development, as he
was taken ill . Hs. Romans stated that Section 31 -12 -106 of the Municipal An ·
nexation Act of 1965 , provides that municipal I ties may annex unincorporated
land that has been completely surrounded by the municipality for at lust
three years. A unilateral or involuntary annexaUon is permissible , unless
there are conditions placed on the annexation. Ms . Romans stated the agree -
ment with Home Lumber and the area being annexed by Council 8111 No . 18 would
probably meet that criter i a, and so a hearing is required . The area addressed
in this Council Bi ll has been co111pletely surrounded by the City since 1984.
The areas identified in Council 8111 No . 19, 1n the Tufts, Windermere and
Mariposa area have been surrounded by the City since the early 1960's. The
City, on at least three occas i ons, has started annexation proceedings in th i s
area . Prtmaril y, because they were part of another annexat 1 on on the west
side of Santa Fe, which was aborted ; consequently the annexation of the pre-
vi ously noted areas were also aborted . She also noted , the current property
owners also owned the property in 1971. Consequently , this is the fourth time
they have been involved in an annexation. Ms. Romans explained the provi s ion
is in the State Statute because it is diffi cult for county government to pro·
vide service to the areas that are completely su r rounded by a city. She
s tated it 1s particularly confusing for the emergency serv ice s , where no on e
knows for sure who has jurisdiction. Access to the properties is over pub lic
right -of -way with i n the City of Englewood. She noted that none of the land Is
held in i dentical ownership .
Evide nce was entered into the record of the Proof of Publicat i on of the Not ice
of Public Hearing i n the Englewood Sentinel, t he lega l newsp aper of the City
of Englewood, on March 21 , 1991 , Ma rc h 28, 1991 , Ap r il 4 , 1991 and Apri l 11.
1991.
Hs. Romans detai led the previous ~ttempts to annex the parcels.
Ms . Romans s tated she is aware that Mr. Noyes, who owns th e property at 4590
Sou t h Win ermere Street , 1s extremely un happy with staff as he believes they
have not responded to his concerns . She apologized to Hr. Noye s and s ta ted she
wou ld personall y foll ow-up ·n the morning .
The Ar apa hoe Count y Co mmi ssioners ha ve been notif ied of the in ent to annex .
She had been en coura ged by he Cou nt y Plann i ng Depa r t ment that thh is t he
pro per proc edur e t o f ollow in as muc h as it is diffic ult f or the Count y to
pro ide serv i ce to these enclaves. The Pn clave s ar e ·n various s pecia l dis -
ric t s. The City will Init iate th e withdnw al fro m the approp r i at e dis t ri ct s.
Englewood C1ty Counc11, Nay 6, 1991
Page 16
Sh~ contended the City can provide services to the propert i es that are pro -
iJOSed to be annexed . Ms . Ro:iians addressed the i ssue of utilities for the
properties on Bel l eview. Arapahoe Rental is concerned because the City does
not have water and sewer available at this time to provide service to those
properties . They are receiving water from Denver r19 t,t 1•' w, and have septic
tanks , and it was Ms . Romans ' understanding this arrangefi~,nt ~ou1d continue.
Ms. Romans stated an annexation brochure was prepar ed and distr i buted to all
the people in the annexation area .
Hs. Romans informed Council that one of the requirements of t~e State Statute
is that following an annexation the City must bring the r .1exed territ,:ry
under the cover of the Coinprehenstve Zoning Ordinance and · i-r, Comprehensive
Zoning Hap within 90 days from the effective date of the ann •~,lion .
The businesses have expressed concerns with the matter of the z Ip code, as
they have a year 's supply of statements, calendars, etc., which have been
printed. They currently have a Littleton mailing address. Ms. Romans was
told by the postmaster that zip codes do not change with annexations . She
suspected 1f the City desired to pursue the issue they would have to talk to
one of our congressional representatives. She wanted to assure the business
owners, that upon annexation, they would not inwnediately have an Englewood zip
code . She noted that when an address has changed in the past, the City has
always given people at least a year's notice, recognizing the expense .
Counc 11 Member Hathaway pointed out the peop 1 e to be annexed by Counc i 1 Bil 1
No. 19 currently use an Englewood malling address.
Council Hamber Habenicht asked if Hs. Romans anticipated any difficulty in
withdrawing the properties from the special di stricts. Hs. Romans did not,
but she yielded the question to Hr. DeWitt.
City Attorney DeWitt stated they have had no problem in the past. However,
the people have an obl i gation to be part of any bond indebtedness liability.
When the bond ts paid off , they are relieved from the bond indebtedness; which
does not include the standard mill levy.
Hs . Romans stated on the other hand, they do not assume the City of Engle-
wood 's bon d i ndebtedness when they annex , becau se they d i d not ha ve an op por -
tunity t o vole on it.
I
City Attorney Dewitt exp la i ed the di fference between the zon i ng and ann ex-
ation issues . He stated the annexations are being co ns i de red du ri ng this I
publ i c hear 'ng . The r e wi l l be a publ i c hearing held ~v both the Pla nni ng Com-

Po11ge l "!
Don Noyes, one of the owners of the property at 4590 South Windermere, stated
this 1s the second time Englewood has tried to annex this property. The firs t
time he had to quit c 1aim deed the front of h1s property to the City of Engle -
wood in order to get a building permit . He s tated the City of Englewood does
not know they own 1t; it is not in the legal record of the annexat io n. Mr .
Noyes adv ised Counci l they are annexing their own property . He also had to
give the City a qu i t claim deed, as well as pay a 3% use tax on the cost of
the build i ng. When th e Santa Fe /Union annexation was t hr own out of court, he
came back to the city and asked for his pro perty back and the use tax he had
paid. The City told him they would not give the prope r ty back to him or
refund the tax he had paid. Now, he 1s in the same boat again, and he wanted
to know what City Council wants this time , more money , property, etc. He not-
ed he has asked the City to respond to his concerns with no response. Mr .
Noyes st .,ted emphatically he i s in opposition to this annexation.
Mayor Van Dyke stated unfortunately th is situation occurred in 1974 which pre -
ceeds this Council. She stated she can understand his frustration.
C1ty Manager Fraser, stated he had not heard these concerns before, and the
th i ngs Mr . Noyes cited are not the practices of the City today. He offered to
personally meet with Hr. Noyes to review his concerns and talk about
spe cif ic s.
Olscuss i on ensued .
Council Mem ber Clayton pointed out to Hr. Noyes that many of the Council Mem -
bers were elected to City Council because of their concerns with the way the
City has treated various individuals. He stated it is not his intention to
depr i ve him of his property without some compelling reason. Mr. Clayton con-
tended ft did not appear to him that this annexation would require Hr. Noyes
to give up any property or right -of-way, or pay the City any money to do that .
He was conffde"t Hr. Fraser would meet with him and arr i ve at an equitable
solution.
Council Member Wiggins questioned the lack of response from staff. Discussion
ensued. Council Member Wiggins personally apologized to Mr. Noyes for the
breakdown in communication.
City Attorney DeWitt reaffirmed this is an unconditional annexation.
City Manager Fra ser noted tha t during the 1 as t five or six months st aff has
been in touch with a nu mber of business owners and managers. They found some
things to work on that are rather healing in na t ure. In most instances they
have been able to convince peop le that t imes have changed and we are in the
busin ess of dealing with people in a rea s onable and fair manner. He noted he
looks forwa rd to an opportunity to reestablish a relat io nship with Hr . Noyes.

Council Member Clayton was concerned that Home Lumber would be within their
~i ghts If they would choose to expand.
City Attorney DeWitt stated they could not legally address thijt concern in the
resolution; however, there would be an opportunity to do so in the rezoning of
the annexed parcel.
Mr. Guetz s tated he understood it had been in c l uded.
City Att orney DeWitt stated it did not addre ss property he does not currentl y
o-..in.
Discussion ensued. City Attorney DeWitt clarified the legal ramifications of
this request .
Council Member Clayton asked If a statement could be i ncluded in the agreement
that the City of Englewood would consider favorably a rezoning of adjacent
property, if Guetz Enterprises were to purchase and request said rezoning.
City Manager Fraser noted that Hr . Guetz has, with in the property he currently
owns, the ability to expand his business. He 1s not restricted, as a typical
non-conforming use, to the existing buildings and layouts. He agreed with the
City Attorney that Council 1s precluded fro111 dealing with zoning speculation
on other land.
City Attorney DeWitt advised that the request is technically improper under
t he City's zoning laws for a number of reasons; and the ability to bind future
councils is limited .
