Mayor Van Dyke advised the audience that It was Council's procedure to allow
the applicant and all individuals in favor of the Planned Development to pres-
ent testl1110ny f"••~t and that testimony cf those ·tndividuals oppo sed to the
Planned Developm~nt would then be taken. All witnesses were duly sworn prior
to testimony.
Nike Cook, attorney representing Swedi s Medical Center, informed Council that
a list of witnesses speaking on behal f of the Planned Oevelop11ent had been
prepared and a copy supplied to e a r h Coun t <1 Member.
Director Wanush, C011111un i ty De ~ upment, was requested to present pertinent
data relative to the Planned Develop~ent . Mr . Wanush entered Into the record
the following exhibits:
City Exhibit A -Proof of Publication of Notice of Public Hearing which
was published in the Englewood Sentinel, Apri l 27, 1989 .
City Exhibit B -Certificate of Posting of the Notice of Hearing -Signs
1 through 12 .
Hr. Wanush spoke briefly concerning the elements to be contatr.ed in the main
carapus, bounded on the west by Logan Street, north by Girard fwenue, east by
Clarkson, and south by Hampden Avenue:
1) construction of a medical office building, current l y under construc-
tion, approximately 63,0DO sq.ft. to be connected to the existing parking lot
En9ltWOOd Ctty Council Minutes
Kay 15 , 1181 -Page 4
garar,t by an overhead walkway on Hainpden. This building currently meets all
zoning requlrl'!llents.
2) construction of a renovated intensive care un i t and, at some point in
the future, emergency facilities. This construction would not meet current I
zoning, having only a J' setback fro~ existing property line. Zoning require-
me nt Is a 15' setback. Council does have the authority to waive this provi-
sion of the zoning ordinance.
3) construction of a par l ing garage with 600 spaces upon completion,
first phase of which is for 300 spaces. This construction varies from the
existing zoning ordinance: the Plan proposes an 11' setback on Logan Street
· the require111ent is 15'; on Girard Av ~nue there is a 15' setback which would
.,eet the first phase of construction (for 300 spaces), however, upon comp le-
t Ion of 600 spaces, the requirement would be 20'. Council does have the au-
thority to waive this provision of the zoning ordinance. Also, Mr. Wanush
pointeJ out that near the alley being vacated, there is no setback at one
roint, ~" it would be necessary to waive the 15' requirement.
4} ,tquest to vacate a portion of South Pennsylvania Street. The north
portion n4 Pennsylvania would remain as a public right-of-way, the south por-
tion wc,i.la be vauted to allow SMC to acquire ownership to the property for
use as descr ibe~ in the Planned Development.
5) requ~st to vacate a portion of the alley between South Loga n and South
Penn~ylvania Streets, .,llowing SMC the use of that land. Mr. Wanush pointed
out the private residence of the Dunns on the west side of Pennsylvania and
explained that by the v•cation of the alley portion i11111ediately behind the
Dunn property, SHC and the Dunn r would each receive approximately 8 '.

counter offer .
Ks. Merck advised Council that the Dunns had decided not to proceed with the

Intend to litigate the matter. Ms . Merck urged Council to assess and consider
what would be In the best interest of the majority of Englewood's citizens and

Mayor Van Dyke asked if there were others present who wished to speak in sup -
port of the Planned Developme11t. There was no response, Mayor Van Dyke then
Invited those opposed to the Planned DeveloJ)llll!nt to enter testimony.
Eleanor Dunn, 3419 and 3430 !;outh Pennsylvania Street. Mrs. Dunn informed
Council that Mr. Creamer (~Namer and Seaman, Law Offices) was not their
lawyer or legal counsel; also , there was concern about what was really being

opinion poll concerning the street closure which was published In the Engle-
wood Sentinel; 56 "Don't Close the Street" votes were received. She adv i sed

lar opinion poll with these results: 53 "Close the Street " votes; 11 "Don't
Close the Street" votes; and 12 "Should Go to a Vote of the People" votes.

the results were not. Mrs . Dunn entered Into the record:
Dunn Exhibit l -copy of SMC's letter to their employees requesting them
to participate in an opinion poll.
Hrs. Dunn referenced an article which appea~ed in the RockJ Mountain News on

Indicated that there had been almost 400 accidents on Hampden Avenue from
Franklin to Broadway with the majority of them being at the intersection of
Hampden and Logan . She expressed the opinion that addi'.ional traffic at Logan
and Hampden, resulting from the Planned Development, wotJld only make the mat-
ter worse.

Apartments at 3470 South Logan Street. He advised Council that originally he
had planned to make a statement against the Planned Development; however, in
view of the changes being proposed to the Plan as contained tn Swedish Exhibit

F, he felt those changes appear to solve some of the problet11s he had been an-
t lctpat Ing In the original Planned Oeveloptnent. He enu111erated several sec-
t tons contained In Section 16-4-8, Englewood Municipal Code 1985, concerning
R-3 H1gh Density Residence Districts. He provided Council with copies of a

Hr. WtlllMs expresied disappointment that It had not been possible to nego-
tiate ~"rcessfully so that Swedish could gain control of the entire area
boundao t,, the Planned OeveloJ)IIN!nt. However, as that Is not possible, he
stressed ,he need for appropriate landscaping and buffer area around the
apartment building. He felt it 1s his responsib11 lty to make sure that the
residents are pr otected and that the property values are not reduced because
of the p·,c1 :1. Mr. Williams stated he was willing to withdraw his objections If
the alterr.d Plan being proposed by SNC (Exhibit F) was sincere. He could only
withdraw his objections 1f the landscaping were to be done properly. further
discussion ensued relative to the density and height of the landscaping; dele-
tion of the east/west alley; entrance Into the parking lot from Logan Street.
Hr. W111 1aMs conflnned that his major concerns would be ellMlnated by the e11 -
m1natlon of the east/west alley. Mr . Williams was assured that SHC would have
to comply w1th whatever a111endments Council would make to the Plan.
Mayor Van Dyke asked if there was rebuttal by the applicant of any co11111ents
made 1n opposition to the Planned Development.
Hr . Roccaforte took that opportunity to inform Council that Swedish Medical
Center is ready and willing to make any concessions, modifications, etc ., that
Council may deem proper. However, they are requesting that a decision be made
this evening.
