Mariposa Drive FOR AND AGAINST No one present No one present Mr. Donnell Stanton, 4080 S. Fox opposed the pav- ing of this block in that it would magnify the drainage problem that now exists in the area. City Engineer Waggoner responded to Mr. Stanton's objection stating that the cause of the problem was, in his opinion, the Denver City Ditch. Mr. Joe Heller, 3356 S. Marion, inquired as to his connection with this Paving District and he was informed that he would be involved in a side street assessment. Jlr. I. L. Golden, 4335 South Grant, inquired as to what would be done with the curb, gutter and drive- ways now in place in this area but improperly con- structed and perhaps unusable. He stated that he had no objection to the paving but felt that since the original curb, gutter and sidewalks had been installed under City's supervision, that property owners should not be asked to pay again for these items. The City Engineer announced that indeed some of the curb, gutter and sidewalk in this area could be used and would be tied into the new Paving District. The City Manager announced that if in- deed the City was at fault in the original construc- tion of curb, gutter and sidewalk that normally the City would pick up the cost in cases of this nature. Mrs. Pat Hudson, 4801 South Lipan, inquired as to why there were no plans to pave the remainder of Layton Avenue west to Pecos Street in that it was a dust problem. The City Engineer explained that this 122 feet on Layton was primarily to connect Mariposa Drive to the paved portion of Layton, beginning at the intersection of Lipan. Mrs. Melvin E. Horton, 4780 Sou.th Mariposa, indicated that her bane was at the corner of Mariposa and Layton and consequently that she would be involved in a con- siderable assessment, therefore, she was opposed to the paving. She also indicated concern that the petition for South Mariposa was fifty-fifty rather rather than fifty-one per cent in favor of the paving and felt that for this reason the petition should be recirculated. Mr. Layton, 4795 South Lipan opposed the paving of Layton Avenue in that no petition was circulated and that the paving of this area was Council initiated. Mr. Bob Linden, 4750 South Mariposa, indicated favor of the paving and also concern over the remainder of Layton Avenue from Mariposa west to Pecos Street. He asked if the City could at least oil this area to cut down the volume of dust. The City Manager indicated that he would reconunend at this time that the Water Depart- ment pave Layton from Mariposa to Pecos. Mr. Wendell Rankman, 4646 South Mariposa, indicated that as · far as the petition was concerned, owners of vacant lots were not contacted and since that time some of these owners had indicated that they did want the paving. 220 February 28, 1966 STREETS 4700 S. Pennsylvania 2100-2300 W. Bates Avenue 1600-1900 W. Yale Avenue Alley between Grant & Logan, 3500 S. Gi:ant 2109-2600 S. Tejon FOR AND AGAINST Mr . Robert Bauqhman, 4785 South Pennsylvania, indi- cated a concern over the drainage problem in his area and the effect of paving upon drainage. The City Engineer explained that chase sections would be put in the sidewalks and that a pan would carry the water across the street. Mr. Tom Holland, representing theEnglewood Indus- trial Park, spoke in favor of the proposed paving on West Bates, West Yale and South Tejon Streets and pointed to the fact that since the Dartmouth Bridge had been completed some six new industries had been located in this area and that there were five additional prospects at this time. He referred to the new jobs created and the new tax base and encouraged the Council to proceed with these streets. Mrs. Leona Phillips, 2930 South Vallejo, inquired as to her involvement in this paving district in that she received a card and was more than 300 feet from Tejon. She was advised that if she was indeed more than 300 1 feet from Tejon that there would be no assessment and she was referred to the City Engineer for final determination. No one present except for Mr. Tom Holland who favors the paving. Mr. B. B. Wriqht, 3576 South Logan, indicated that alley behind his property was paved at this time and he was concerned as to whether or not he would be involved in the current paving project. He was referred to the City Engineer for specific details. The City Clerk read written protest filed regarding the South Tejon paving. Petition one had 13 signa- tures indicating that they desired paving only, it also contained two signaturws asking for all improvements. Petition two contained six signatures protesting to the curb, gutter and sidewalks on South Tejon but favoring the street surfacing. Petition three contained six signatures opposing the curb, gutter and sidewalks on South Tejon but favor- ing the street surfacing. A letter from Mri James F. Mace, opposed the curb, gutter and sidewalk on South Tejon but favored the paving. A letter from Mr. Charles L. Ferris, opposed all improvmnents of South Tejon. A letter from Mr. and Mrs. Wade H.LOnq, opposed all improvements on South Tejon. Mr. James F. Mace, 4695 Thompson Ct., Denver, indicated approval of the paving of South Tejon but expressed objection to the curb, gutter and sidewalk. Mr. Dewayne Fox, 1985 W. Iliff, opposed ·the paving of South Tejon. Mr. R. R. Torske, 2109 West Wesley, spoke in favor of sidewalks. Mrs. Vardeman, 1985 West Baker, Safety Chairman for Scenic View School, opposed curb gutter and sidewalk and favored paving. She was also concerned with the speeding in the area and indicated that through her committee and with the help of Mrs. Dorothy Romans, Planning and Traffic Director, that several speed limit signs have been and are being erected. Mr. Fair Preston, 2400 South Tejon inquired as to who pays for the cost of paving and improvements in welfare cases. The City Manager expressed an opinion that the County Welfare Department did pay taxes in certain cases. Mr. Preston spoke in favor of the paving and opposed the curb, gutter and sidewalk. Mr. John Reffel, 2600 S. Tejon spoke in favor of the paving but opposed the curb, gutter and sidewalk. Mr. Chester Williams, 1990 West Baltic, inquired as to the pos- sibility of paving the street without installing curb, gutter and sidewalk. The City Manager stated that the City policy called for curb, gutter and sidewalks except in isolated cases such as Dartmouth which was recently paved and where curb, gutter and sidewalks on the north side were not practical due to the fact that the north side of Dartmouth was the Denver city limit line and that the Cityof Englewood had no way of assessing cost of the improve- ments to persons living in another city. Mr. Dennis Kelley, 2315 South Tejon, spoke in behalf of several people in the area and expressed concern over the assessment for paving and what it would be in certain instances, plus the fact that people in the area are now paying a special assessment for sewer service and asked Council to consider the fact that the people in this area can only stand so much in the way of special assessments. I I I I STREETS 2100-2699 s. Tejon (Cont.) February 28, 1966 FOR AND AGAINST Mr. Charles Phlat, 1989 West Iliff, inquired as to how he might benefit from the paving of South Tejon, The Mayor pointed to the use of paved streets, lack of dust and appreciation of property values. Mrs. Julia Hollyfield, 2052 West Iliff, stated that-she presently over-taxed and did not care for additional taxes. Mr. Chester Williams, 1990 Wesa Baltic, ex- pressed favor of the paving district in that it would curtail the dust problem in the area. Mrs. Mossbarger, expressed concern for old age penSI'Oners in the area, people with fixed incomes, and felt that since the industrial area or businesses in the · area would benefit most that perhaps they should pay the bill. Mr. Tan Holland stated that ommission of curb, gutter and &idewalk in this proposed section of Tejon would be uniair to those immediately south on Tejon who were included in Paving District No. 15. Mr. Kenneth Watkins, 1987 W. Baker, pointed to industrial growth and the fact that the volume of traffic was considerably greater and would probably double. He favored the paving. Mrs. Mossbargerer reminded those present that if sidewalks were put in that the adjacent property owners are liable for removing snow from them.

Councilman Ludwig inqutred as to why the alley between Grant and Logan, 3500 Block, had been included in the paving district and he was informed that the City had received a letter requesting same. Councilman Ludwig indicated that Englewood Unlimited may indeed develop this area from Logan west and that the paving of this alley could possibly result in a waste to property owners in this area. Councilman Fullerton inquired as to the possibility of the Water Department paving Layton fran Mariposa west to Pecos. The City Manager pointed out that this certainly would be desirable, however, due to the water reservoirs ·l-0cated on this street and lack of foot traffic that it probably should be considered without curb, gutter and sidewalk. The need for curb, gutter and sidewalk on South Tejon was also discussed briefly.
