Mr. Harry Carleno, 5471 South Sherman, Littleton, ap- peared before Council and spoke in opposition to the water tower March 24, 1980 Page 6 presently under construction at the Eugene Field School for the reasons that the tower would be too high to cover up easily and that its presence would depreciate the property in the neighbor- hood. Mr. Carlena submitted a petition containing 23 signatures of residents in the surrounding area in opposition to the con- struction of the water tower and requested that it not be com- pleted. Mr. Carlena suggested that the tower be reduced in size, painted a sky blue color or placed underground. Mr. Vic Quinn, attorney, 1415 Security Life Building, appeared before Council and spoke in opposition to the water tower. Mr. Quinn stated he represented the University of Denver in the interests of its new chancellor, Mr. Pritchard, and prop- erty on which Mr. Pritchard lives. Mr. Quinn stated the property was in the vicinity of the water tower site. Mr. Quinn stated the tower would make the area unsightly and effect property values. Mr. Quinn stated most of the people in the audience were in op- position to the tower, they were not residents of Englewood and would not receive any benefit from it. Council Member Higday stated he was sympathetic with the people; however, the water tower was the only answer to solv- ing water pressure problems the City was experiencing in that part of town. Mr. Higday stated a public hearing was held on the pro- ject; the 1chool district was contacted and, baaed upon informa- tion received, construction was approved. Mr. Higday stated he knew of no alternative that would not financially destroy the pro- ject. Mayor Otis asked Director of Utilities Stu Fonda to appear before Council and explain the matter. Director Fonda appeared before Council. Mr. Fonda explained the water pressure in the southern portion of the City had been inadequate for nearly 20 years. Several attempts, had been made, none of which had been successful, to increase the pressure. The principle developed by the City's consultants was to have an elevated surface that would be high enough to pressurize the system. The site was chosen after looking at several areas where the tank could be located, and the only lo- cation in the City that was adequate because it was the same elevation as the highest ground that it served. The site was also the only vacant land that the City had that could be used for this purpose. Mr. Fonda discussed the advantages of having an eleva- ted storage tank versus pumps. Mr. Fonda stated the property owners directly adjacent to the tank site were contacted and most of the people seemed March 31, 1980 Page 7 happy that the land was going to be rid of the bushes, bugs and motorcyclists. The school district was contacted and they pro- vided an easement across their lot. Donald Bogner, 5360 South Grant, appeared before Coun- cil and spoke in opposition to the tower. Mr. Bogner stated he worked for the Denver Water Department and felt it was a better system for storage, regulation and distribution of pressure. Mr. Bogner stated he felt the City was remiss in not contacting him and destroying property values. Council Member Fitzpatrick stated the contract has been let for some time and work has proceeded to the point that costs would be prohibitive for tearing it down and starting over. Mr. Fitzpatrick stated the only thing to do was to finish construction and at some future date hope that some other system could be in- stalled. Mayor Otis declared a recess at 8:40 p.m. The Council reconvened at 8:55 p.m. Mayor Otis asked for roll call. Upon a call of the roll, the vote resulted as follows: Council Members Higday, Neal, Fitzpatrick, Keena, Bilo, Bradshaw, Otis. Absent: None. The Mayor declared a quorwn present. Mayor Otis asked if there were any other visitors wish- ing to speak to Council. Mr. Harry Carleno reappeared before Council and sub- mitted a second petition with 11 signatures of people in opposi- tion to the construction of the water tower. Council Member Higday stated Council informally agreed to form a colllllittee to investigate what could be done to make the tower more asthetically acceptable. Also, some of the residents of the area pointed out to him it was a definite hazard to some of the children living in the area because of the construction itself. Mr. Higday asked the City Manager to see what could be done about putting a fence around the area. Mrs. Isabella Knight, 3021 South Lincoln, appeared be- fore Council and spoke about her concerns over problems with dogs running at large and barking. Mrs. Knight stated too much of an issue was being made over the cats when the problem was dogs.
