of Englewood over a period of years. He felt that since Cinderella
City had come to the City we have lost sight of projects for service
clubs and that service clubs were being slowly pushed out. He felt
that the service clubs had been the backbone of the community for
years and the City fathe rs had asked service clubs to perform
projects . He felt that at this point, the service clubs had to
come to City fathers to ask them what projects could be performed.
He felt the same thing was wrong with the Core Area study, i.e.,
that the Council had not asked the people for help.

o f a building pe r mit i n t he Santa Fe -Union Streets annexation area.
Mr . Wyman stated that Mr. Noyes, President of the E.M.J.D. Mfg. Co.
has found a lot on Wi n dermere which is in the Santa Fe -Union
anne x ati o n area . T hey purchased the lot last summer in order to
b e u se d a s a n industr i al site . T he land uses around it are mainly
industrial . Mr . Noyes had received a certificate of zoning from
Ar apahoe Coun t y . As he sta rted construction plans, he was advised
o f the z oning mo r a torium by t he P la n n ing Office of the City. He
felt that Mr . No ye s had to begin t o move on this construction in
o rder to cir cumven t the sho r t a ge o f s upplies as well as to receive
a gas connecti o n by July 1 . May o r Henning stated that Mr. Noyes
I

within a 90 -day per i od within any newly annexed area. The City
Atto r n e y felt that a case of hardship should be heard by the Board
o f Adjustment and App e al s and he suggested that that avenue be pur-I
sued . Coun c ilman Dho r it y inquired whether we currently felt we
migh t zone it differently t han the Co u nty had previously zoned. Mr.
Wyma n replied that it wa s not his understanding, that it would be
different , but that h e wanted to take this time to familiarize the
Council with the ar e a an d the situation. They did not want to get a
variance from the Bo a rd o f Adjustment and Appeals if the Council was
g o ing t o make it a non -conf o rming use in the future.

Mr. Cliff Anderson of the firm of Merrick & Co., and
Mr. Packy Romans, Director of Parks and Recreation, appeared before
Council to report on the progress of finding locations for the
construction of tennis and handball courts. Mr. Romans introduced
Mr. Anderson to the Council. Mr. Anderson stated that they were
asking for approval of the sites this evening and that the school
would look at these sites on the 11th of February. He presented
sites for eight tennis courts and four handball courts at three
different locations in the City. The Flood site would have two
tennis courts, the Sinclair site would have four tennis courts and
four handball courts, and the Charles Hay site would have two tennis
courts.
Mr. Anderson stated that concrete and black asphalt have
not always been the best material to build tennis courts on; rather
a primary base of asphalt with layers of it for resliiency with a
lacose surface should be used. He stated that handball courts were
not normal in municipal facilities, but rather, usually in private
clubs. He recommended the three-wall handball court in order to
facilitate supervision of them. He recommended lighted tennis
courts of a club type of lighting in order to make it comfortable
to play at night with minimum of light pollution to surrounding
areas. He felt the tennis courts at Flood should be blue in color
in order to complement the school. He showed the location of the
pr o posed tennis and handball courts on maps at the Charles Hay,
Sinclair Jr. High, and Flood Jr. High areas. He stated that the
firm had also looked for additional space in north Englewood, and
found very little; however, there is vacant space west of Dartmouth
which could be utilized for the future if the City would desire to
purchase this land.
City Manager Dial stated that a meeting with the citizens
was scheduled for the lJth of February in order to feel out
surrounding neighbors on the sites.
The Council and the School Board could veto any of the
sites at this time if they so chose. Mr. Dial inquired of Mr.
Anderson what the cost was for the proposed tennis courts. Mr.
Mike Carver of the firm of Merrick & Co. stated the cost was some-
where in the vicinity of $120,000.
Mayor Henning inquired whether other sites were studied
and ruled out. Mr. Anderson replied in the affirmative. Councilman
Dhority inquired as to other sites north of 285. Mr. Anderson
stated that the Bates-Logan site was ruled out due to flooding
possibilities there. In order to put any tennis courts there, the
City would have to purchase some homes. Mayor Henning inquired
whether the Council had any qualms with the Sinclair site. There
were no objections.

Comm i ss i on had a greed with all of these sites. Mayor Henning
inqui re d wh e the r anybody had any qualms with the Charles Hay site.
Th ere were no obj ections. Mayor Henning inquired whether anybody
h a d any qua lms wi t h t he Flood Jr. High School site. There were no
object i o n s . Council ma n Dhority stated that there was still a need
fo r some courts no r th of 2 8 5 and east of Broadway.
Ci ty Man ager Dial stated that the City had some land in
t he No r t hwe st Greenbelt which could be a possible site to be pursued.

Mr . Fred Hoisington of Brauer and Associates appeared
before Council to present a recommended program statement for
the Platte River Developme nt Plan as approved on January Jlst
by the Englewood Pa rk s and Recreation Commission. Mr. Hoisington
stated that the stud y of the area was bounded by Federal, Hampden,
Santa Fe and Oxford Streets. He felt the citizen participation in
the area was very important since everybody involved feels better
about t he ultimate outcome if they are consulted. He exp l ained the
schedule of citizen involv ement to the Council. He felt that the
Council needed t o consider recommendations presented in the program
study this evening in ord er to facilitate further progress.
The first priority is an 18-hole golf course and resul-
tant facilities, plus a greenbelt and hiking bike trail. The second
p riority is a garden club, soft ball, and tennis area.
He fel t that the firm also needed to consider the
transportation and land use. The firm was considering two al-
ternate strategies which could be a jurisdictional problem also.
The c urrent strategy is for the Army Corps of Engineers and South
Suburban to develop the area with the City putting in a golf course.
The alternate is for the City to buy and the State to channelize
the river with the whole effort to be coordinated with South
Suburb an .
Councilman Sovern inquired whether the City Council
ha d ever made i ts wishes known on a Platte River Valley develop-
ment . City Manager Dial said that it had been done informally.
Councilman Sovern state d that the "engineers" had a lot of power
and needed to be apprised of the City's concern. He stated that
the City needed to make its statement now since the Corps would
be in in the very near future. Soft channel to the Corps of
Engineers vs . soft channel to the City of Englewood may be two
entirely differen t thing s.
Mr . Hoisington stated that the Corps was involved in
design , n o t in ownership , of the land, but that a statement on
the b o oks of this sort could be extremely beneficial.

Council received a memorandum from the Director of
Utilities requesting sewer service to the Choido Property. Mr.
Mike Kachulis , 3563 So. Pennsylvania, appeared before Council.
He stated that the comp any had buildings and shop area and needed
water and sewer servic e immediately in order to get gas service.
City Manager Dial stat ed that the property was located in Sheridan,
and that the re quest was a bit premature since it usually comes to
Council after the Dist ricts have given their approval. Since the
individuals are against the gun, staff thought the Council might
wish to concur befo re the District acted.
Mayor Henning suggested a telephone poll be taken of the
Council after the Distr i ct meeting on the 11th. She felt the
Council could vote on an advisory vote now with a final ratification
vote later .
