E) and the petition report (City Exhibit F).
Max Scott, Oediups, Inc., 1200 Pearl, Boulder, appeared
before Council, was sworn in and gave testimony concerning his re-
port and the results of the survey for which he was contracted by
the City to do for the purpose of determining the needs and desires
of the neighborhood regarding the · application. Mr. Scott read through
the report and discussed the methods he used in conducting the survey.
Mr. Scott stated based on the needs and desires and the language of
the petition format, the final statistics show 72.35% in favor and
27.651. against.
Mayor Taylor asked if anyone in the audience wished to
speak in favor of the application.
Harry Reese Braun, 3173 South Ogden, appeared before
Council and was sworn in by the Clerk. Mr. Braun did not be-
lieve the needs and desires of the neighborhood were being met.
Mr. Braun spoke in favor of the application on the basis that
the move would make the store more centrally located in the area
and reduce the amount of traffic at its present location.
Mayor Taylor asked if anyone in the audience had ques-
tions for Mr. Scott and/or Mr. Braun.
Mrs. Pearl Layton, 3563 South Downing, appeared before
Council. Mrs. Layton directed her question to Mr. Scott. She
asked how many people in the survey were renters and how many
were permanent residents. Mrs. Layton stated renters were not
interested in the co11111Unity as were permanent residents; and
permanent residents who lived in the comnunity would not want
a liquor store that close to their homes.
Mr. Scott stated the neighborhood was predominatly R-1
home-owner-occupied and a specific answer on the number of ten-
ants and home owners would have to be checked against an assess-
or's list or the Cole's directory. Mr. Scott estimated that at
least 801. -851. of the people contacted were home-owner-occupied,
business, owners, or managers.
Mrs. Layton queried why there were no addresses in the
3500 block of South Downing on the petitions.
November 5, 1979
Page 8
Councilman Smith asked the City Attorney to clarify
whether or not it is relevant that the people contacted be pro-
perty owners or renters in regard to petitioning on this matter.
City Attorney Berardini stated it made no difference
whether the signatures obtained were from property owners or
renters or .if they were from managers or owners of business;
they were all interested parties.
Mayor Taylor asked if there were further questions to
ask of Mr. Scott and/or Mr. Braun.
Randy Brown, 3557 South Downing, appeared before Coun-
cil. Mr. Brown stated he possessed a petition that contained
thirty-three (33) signatures of people in objection and asked
Mr. Scott to describe the discrepancy between his (Mr. Brown's)
petiton and the one done by Mr. Scott.
Mr. Scott stated he did not know under what circum-
stances Mr. Brown conducted his petitioning. Mr. Scott then
explained the concept and the methods his staff used in con-
ducting the survey.
Mr. Brown stated a survey could be interpreted any-
way the surveyor desires and questioned the objectiveness of
Mr. Scott's report.
Mr. Scott explained his client was the City of Engle-
wood and was interested only in the mechanics of survey. He
stated he had no vested interest in the outcome.
Mr. Brown examined the report from Oedipus, Inc. and
the petitions.
Mr. Brown asked why the area closest in proximity to
the location site was not petitioned. Mr. Brown felt that by
not contacting these people the results of the survey would pro-
bably be biased.
Mr. Scott pointed out what addresses were contacted
in the iDlllediate area. Mr. Scott stated his method had been
cross checked against alternate methods and had been proven to
provide no difference in statistical results.
Mayor Taylor asked if there were further questions to
be asked of Mr. Scott and/or Mr. Braun.

Mr. Mcintyre -Old Town Liquors, Inc., appeared before Council.

Mr. Atwell asked Mr. Scott if the purpose of the survey was to
obtain a close approximation of the what the general prevailing
attitudes were in a geographical area. Mr. Scott answered in
the affirmative.
Councilman Giseburt asked if spot petitioning was a
true representation of the affected neighborhood.
Mr. Scott explained that he had been in this business
for ten years and conducted numerous similar surveys. Mr. Scott
stated regardless .of whether the conducting of surveys was for,
against, statistics have been the same. The petitioners are
trained and managed. Mr. Scott stated he had conducted surveys
ln vhi h overyono wa1 contacted and attempt• were made later on
to contact those people who were not at home and percentage-wise
compared to spot petitioning the statistics were within 3 -51.
of each other. Mr. Scott explained based on his experience with
different methods of surveying, the process used in this survey
were reliable and the results fairly represented the attitudes
of the neighborhood baaed only on needs and desires.
Mr. Brown asked further questions of Mr. Scott concern-
ing the categorical results of his report.
Mr. Scott explained the format used in gathering the
information and the groups of people that would be eligible to
participate in the survey.
Councilman Smith offered coDlllents relative to the hear-
ing to clarify the criteria for which a liquor license can be
granted or refused. Mr. Smith stated his personal position would
be probably to vote afainst liquor applications issued in the City
of Englewood; but by aw there are only two reasons to either grant
or deny a liquor license: 1) that the needs of the neighborhood
are being or not being met, and 2) that the desires of the neigh-
borhood are such that the residents want it or they do not want it.
There were no further questions to ask Mr. Scott.
Mayor Taylor asked if there were questions to be asked of
Mr. Braun.
Randy Brown, 3557 South Downing, appeared before Coun-
cil. Mr. Brown aaked Mr. Braun to expound on his earlier state-
ment regarding the reduction of traffic in the Englewood area by
moving the liquor store to Hampden and Downing.

outlets are on very buay streets. When the store is moved, traf-
November 5, 1979

f ic would be reduced for anyone attempting to go to a liquor es-
tablishment by not having to enter on a very busy intersection.
There were no further questions to ask Mr. Braun.
Mr. Harry Atwell, 3333 South Bannock, attorney for Mr.
Bob Mcintyre -Old Town Liquors, Inc., appeared before Council.
Mr. Atwell called Mr. Mcintyre to appear before Council and give
testimony regarding the liquor license application.
Mr. Robert L. Mcintyre, 3140 South Dahlia, was present
and was sworn in by the Clerk.
Mr. Atwell questioned Mr. Mcintyre regarding his per-
sonal and business background. Mr. Mcintyre provided information
and gave response to the reasons why he was applying for the trans-
fer of license.
Mr. Atwell submitted Applicant's Exhibit A -a photo-
graph of the notice of public hearing posted on the proposed site
location.
Mayor Taylor asked if anyone in the audience had ques-
tions to ask Mr. Mcintyre.
Mr. Randy Brown, 3557 South Downing, appeared before
Council and cross-examined Mr. Mcintyre regarding the reason
why he was relocating his business, if the shopping center where
he was presently located was being considered for sale, and if
the posting of notice of hearing had been posted according to
regulation.
Mr. Mcintyre gave response to the questions.
Judy Brown, 3557 South Downing, appeared before Coun-
cil and asked questions as to why Mr. Mcintyre was changing loca-
tions.
Mr. Mcintyre provided information to the questions.
Councilman Clayton offered conments to the zoning de-I
signation question raised durinf the hearing. Mr. Clayton stated
the zoning waa both proper and egal for the requested use. ,
Councilman Smith asked for a ruling from the City At-
torney on whether or not the hearing should be postponed because
the notice of hearing sign was moved to a more conspicious place
during the 10-day posting requirement mentioned by Mr. Brown in
his cross-examination of Mr. Mcintyre.
November 5, 1979
Page 11
City Attorney Berardini stated testimony would be re-
quired by the City Clerk as to whether the aign waa actually post-
ed, where and when it was posted, and to where it was moved. Mr.
Berardini stated in his opinion as long as the property was post-
ed according to the rules of the Liquor Board, it met the require-
ments of the law (10 days prior to the hearing). If the sign was
moved later to make the sign more conspicious, it would not affect
the 10 day ruling if it was posted for 10 days.
Mr. Atwell asked Mr. Mcintyre questions pertine~t to the
viewing of the sign. Mr. Mcintyre provided answers in that he could
see the s gn on the lot from the street and no other buildings were
on the lot.
Council asked for testimony from Deputy City Clerk Johan-
nisson regarding the posting of the notice.
Deputy Clerk Johannisson appeared before Council and was
sworn in by the Clerk. Mr. Johannisson provided information
on the posting of notice and the background which initiated the re-
positioning of the sign on the lot. Mr. Johannisson stated the ini-
tial posting of the sign was in conformity with the Code; and in
response to the City Attorney's question, Mr. Johannisson stated
the posting was continuous.
There were no further questions for the City staff or the
applicant.
Mayor Taylor asked if there was anyone in the audience
wishing to speak against the application.
Randy Brown, 3557 South Ogden, appeared before Council
and was sworn in by the Clerk. Mr. Brown objected to the issuance
of the application on the following grounds:
1. in his opinion the 10 day requirement for posting
was not met because the sign had been moved.
2. in reference to Councilman Clayton's statement on
zoning, the zoning may allow the business but will
not guarantee its placement.
3.
4.
he understood the shopping center where Mr. Mcintyre
was presently located was up for sale.
barring people from participation in the survey be-
cause they had religious reasons against liquor
was discriminatory.
5. there were too many children in the area.

of Mr. Brown.
Mr. Atwell, attorney for the applicant, appeared before
Council and cross-examined Mr. Brown. Mr. Atwell objected to the
submission of Mr. Brown's petition on the basis that it was not
purport to the survey and lacked the proper foundation for protest.

petition.

speak against the application.

Quincy Place. Mr. Wanush stated the request was initiated by
Mr. and Mrs. Hughes, property owners to the north. Mr. Hughes
was of the opinion that the 60 foot right-of-way served no public
purpose; and therefore, requested the vacation. Director Wanush
stated the Planning and Zoning CoD1Dission reconmended that the
right-of-way vacation along West Quincy Place be approved, re-
taining a 16 foot right-of-way for vehicular and pedestrian access
to Jason Park. Director Wanush added that the Engineering Services
Department recoDIDended that providing access to the park would re-
sult in vacating a 22' wide right-of-way strip adjacent to each
of the properties. In addition the existing curb and gutter returns
should be removed and curb, gutter and sidewalk extended to match
the east side of South Lipan Street. The City of Englewood would
pay only for the 16' length to provide the alley access, and the
property owners would be responsible for the other curb, gutter
and sidewalk costs.
