before the Planning Commission is the zoning designation of
property at 4635 South Mariposa Drive, which property is the
subject of a petition requesting annexation to the City of
Englewood o
Mrs o Romans presented the Certification of Posting for the
record; public notice of the Public Hearing did appear in the
official City Newspaper, and she asked that the staff report
be made part of the record of this Hearing o
Mrs. Romans made reference to a map of the subject area, which
map indicates areas remaining in unincorporated Arapahoe County,
those properties which have been annexed to the City of Englewood
recently, and the properties for which annexation petitions
have been submitted to the City, but which are not yet annexed 0
Mrs. Romans stated that the subject property has been zoned
R-3, Single-family Residence, by Arapahoe County for a number
of years . The property to the east across South Mariposa
Drive is zoned R-1-A, Single-family Residence, and is in the
City of Englewood. Mr o Anderson, the owner of the subject
property, is constructing a single-family house on the site
for his daughter and her husband o The building permit was
issued by Arapahoe County, and upon annexation, the Englewood
Code Enforcement division will assume the responsibility for
inspections on the construction of the unit.
Mrs. Romans stated that the property is proposed to be designated
as R-1-C, Single-family Residence, upon annexation to the City
of Englewood. Mrs. Romans cited the topography of the area,
and pointed out that it is logical that the property on the
west side of South Mariposa Drive remain in a single-family
residence zone classification.
Mr. LeRoy Anderson
805 East Cornell Avenue -was sworn in, and stated that he is
indeed building a home on this site
for his daughter, and that he purchased the land approximately
two years ago. He stated that some facilities are not available
from Arapahoe County, such as water and sewer service, or fire
service. He stated that inasmuch as he is an Englewood resident
himself, he would prefer that this property be annexed to
Englewood, and that he felt Englewood would realize some tax
returns on the valuation of the propertyo He stated that there
have been some problems in obtaining gas service, but he has
been able to do so. Water and sewer service is available from
Englewood provided the property is annexed to Englewoodo Mr.
Anderson stated that he cannot get water and sewer service from
Arapahoe County. He stated that he feels the property has met
all the requirements for annexation to the City of Englewood,
and that he has tried to encourage his neighbors to annex to
Englewood, alsoo Mr. Anderson expressed his appreciation to
the staff for their efforts in his behalf o

Mrso Romans stated that the matter before the Planning Commission
is the zoning of property on the west side of the 4500 block of
South Santa Fe Drive, referred to as the "Ragsdale property"o
Mro and Mrso Ragsdale purchased the subject property which ad-
joins their original site at 4535 South Santa Fe Drive on the
north, several years ago. This action caused the City boundary
to divide their property, and they now have requested annexa-
tion of this portion of the property to the City of Englewoodo
-4-
Mrs 0 Romans presented a copy of the Certification of Posting,
and stated that public notice of the Public Hearing did appear
in the official City newspaper; she further asked that the
staf f report be made a part of the official record of the
Hearing.
Mrs. Romans noted that Mro and Mrs o Ragsdale had requested
the annexation of the portion of their property which is out-
side of the City Limits; however, the legal description of
both the annexation and zoning has been extended to encompass
the right-of-way along South Santa Fe Drive and the right-of-
way along the railroad tracks to tie in with the City boundary
on the east.
Mrs. Romans stated that the Ragsdale property was zoned B-4,
Business, in Arapahoe County along the South Santa Fe Drive
frontage, and that Mro and Mrs o Ragsdale have requested an
I-1, Light Industrial, zone classification for their property.
Mrso Romans pointed out that the County does have B-4, Business,
along the Santa Fe Drive frontage, with an I-2, Heavy Industrial,
zone classification to the west o Sheridan has zoned the area
which they have recently annexed west of South Santa Fe Drive
for industrial development o The I-1 Zone District proposed for
the subject site will be compatible with the zoning in the area.
Mr o Tanguma asked if this annexation and zoning would include
the manufacturing plant on the Ragsdale property? Mrs. Romans
stated that this action would bring all of Mr. and Mrs. Ragsdale's ~
property under the jurisdiction of the City of Englewood and
under the I-1 Zone District.
There were no further questions from the Commission. There
was no one in the audience wishing to speak in favor of or in
opposition to the proposed zone designation.

AYES: Parker, Pierson, Smith, Tanguma, Draper, Lathrop
NAYS: None
ABSENT: McClintock, Williams
The motion carried.
VI. COMMISSION'S CHOICE.
Mr. Smith asked if any information is available on the traffic
patterns between Floyd and Dartmouth, Huron and Broadway? Mr.
Wanush stated that there is nothing available on this particular
problem; there will be information available on the matter of
curb ramps to be presented at the first meeting in December.
Mr. Lathrop asked about progress on the storage at the Lay
Plumbing business on Broadway? Mr. Wanush stated that he has
met with Mr. Lay, and has a letter from Mro Lay setting forth
their time schedule for relocating their business. He stated
that he would hope to see some action on fencing of this storage
lot this week.
Mr. Lathrop asked if the trash haulers were under contract with
the City in any way, or how they were authorized to do business
in the City? He expressed concern over the debris that is left
after the trash is picked up --barrels thrown about, trash
left in the alleys, etc.
Mrs. Romans pointed out that the trash haulers are a private
business .
Mr. Smith suggested that if Mr. Lathrop is ha ving trouble with
the trash hauler, he should change companies as others do; the
City has nothing to do with the operation of these businesses.
Mr. Lathrop asked about tree limbs hanging over the sidewalks
and whether there is anything that can be done about this?
Mro Wanush stated that these limbs may be cut if they hang over
the public right-of-way. Mr . Lathrop stated that this situation
exists in the 3200 block of South Clarkson Street, on South
Logan Street south of Quincy Avenue, and in fact all over the
City .
Mr. Draper stated that it has been suggested that the Planning
Commission have a meeting with the members of the Downtown
Development Authority just to keep in touch with the progress
of both bodies . He asked if other members felt this would be
advisable? Mr . Smith discussed a meeting the City Council had
with the Downtown Development Authority and the discussions
regarding the Transit Center. He stated that he was quite
disturbed at the attitude expressed by members of the Downtown
Development Authority regarding the Transit Center, particularly
in light of the many months of meetings and work with RTD on
the proposed location. He pointed out that the Planning Com-
mission and City Council have both recommended that the Transit
-7-
Center be located on the City-owned property in the 3300 block
between Girard and Floyd, Bannock and Acoma. The final recom-
mendation of RTD was that the Transit Center be located on the
west side of the City-owned site; that it would be totally con-
tained within this site, and there would be eight bays that
could be entered without leaving the site. Mr. Smith stated
that it seems to be the attitude of at least half of the Down-
town Development Authority members that the Transit Center
should not be at this location ; others seem to feel that it is
not needed at all. Mr. Smith stated that concerns expressed
were that one businessman didn't want a bus stop in his ''back
yard"; another stated that this was not the site that was presented
and discussed as the location for the Transit Center, and that
another concern was expressed by the Continental National Bank
on the location of the Transit Center on the Bannock Street
side of the lot. Members of the Downtown Development Authority
also questioned the replacement of parking spaces that may be
lost through development of the Transit Center on this site.
Mr . Smith stated that he felt t his is not the concern of the
Downtown Development Authority, that the City is obligated to
replace any parking th at may be lost as a result of the loca-
tion of the Transit Center. Mr. Smith emphasized that RTD is
90 days from Public Hearings on the funding of the Transit
Center, and he felt that the Planning Commission should go on
record reaffirming their support of the RTD Transit Center on
the City-owned site.
Mr. Lathrop pointed out that there have been meetings for over
one and one-half years on the matter of the Transit Center
need and location. He asked how many of these individuals who
now appear to be in opposition attended these meetings. He
emphasized the fact that there was considerable publicity about
the location of the Transit Center in the news media also.
Discussion ensued.
It was determined that the staff be asked to set a meeting
between the Planning Commission and the Downtown Development
Authority on November 28th, at 7:00 P.M.
Mr. Lathrop asked what was being done to prevent coal trains
from blocking intersections? Mr. Wanush stated that he knew
of no progress in this area. Mr. Smith stated that there is
an ordinance before the City Council pertaining to this matter,
and that he would assume the City Council would be getting into
the problem in depth in the near future.
Mr. Wanush announced that there is a seminar scheduled for
November 18th, which will be sponsored by the Colorado Municipal
League, to be held at the Cinderella City Real Estate Mart,
regarding the new zoning techniques, contract zoning, conditional
zoning, etc. This seminar will begin at 8:30 A.M., speakers
will include Kirk Wickersham and John Criswell. This is an all
day meeting, and Commission members were invited to attend.

VII. LARWIN SITE CASE #21-78
Tom Regan/Sternberg
Mr. Wanush stated that Mr . Tom Regan and Mr. Gene Sternberg
have been invited to informally present their plans for develop-
ment of the vacant portion of the Larwin site. Mr. Wanush
stated that Mr . Regan and some other investors have control
of the vacant portion of the site and are interested in the
development of this land. Mr. Sternberg has been retained as
the Architect to develop a revised site plan. Mr . Wanush
emphasized that this is not a formal application at this time.
Mr. Regan stated that he and other investors have purchased the
vacant land on the Larwin site, and if it were to be developed
as originally proposed, it would be extremely congested and
there would be little open space. He added that he personally
does not care for the design of the existing structures. The
proposal that his people have come up with is for a condominium
development, with two-story townhouses on the eastern edge near
the Kent Village development and interspersed throughout the
site, along with several 10-12 story mid-rise structures. Mr.
Regan emphasized that the exterior of all structures would be
brick to match the Kent Village development. Mr. Regan stated
that the revised plan retains the number of units approved pre-
viously; however, by a rearrangement of the units and increasing
the height of the mid-rise buildings, there is much more open
space. Mr. Regan stated that the townhouse units will have a
basement, first and second floor; the mid-rise units will be
10-12 stories, with nine units per floor, and the units will
be 1,000 sq. ft. or more per unit. The townhouse units will
have garages, and the mid-rise units will have two floors of
underground parking. The over-all parking ratio will be at
least two spaces per unit. Mr. Regan noted that the number of
mid-rise structures will decrease from 10 to 8, but the overall
height of these structures will increase.
Mr . Sternberg cited the fact that the recorded plan shows 25%
open space, with 75% lot coverage; the proposed plan indicates
a 75% open space with 25% building coverage ratio.
Mr. Regan pointed out that the mid-rise buildings will be 10
to 12 stories, and that the dimensions of the buildings will
be essentially the same as those which are approved --two
feet wider and 10 feet longer.
Mr . Tanguma inquired about fire fighting capabilities on
structures this tall? Mr. Wanush stated that the structures
would have to sprinklered, and meet the other requirements of
the Fire and Building Codes.
Mrs. Pierson inquired as to whether the mid-rise structures
would be condominium units as well as the townhouse units?
Mr. Regan stated that the entire development would be condominium
units. The one-bedroom units with den, which would have ap-
proximately 1,000 square feet in floor area, would probably
start at around $60,000, but this is not a firm figure. Mr.
-9-
Regan stated that the eastern portion of the site would be de-
veloped as an adult area, with the larger units for families
on the middle and western sections of the site. Mrs. Pierson
asked if this would be a total development, or a phase-develop-
ment procedure? Mr. Regan stated it would be developed in
stages, and they would want to begin on the eastern boundary
adjacent to the Kent Village development. Mrs. Pierson asked ·
about the active recreational areas that were proposed in the
Larwin Site? Mr. Regan pointed out areas that would have in-
door swimming pools, and the fact that tennis courts are inter-
spersed throughout the open areas.
Mr. Lathrop asked if the development would have elevators and
supplemental generators such as were included in the Simon
Center? Mr. Regan stated that the construction would have to
meet the Fire and Building Codes.
Mr. Smith asked for comments from members of the audience on
the proposed plans. Mr. Allott, a resident of Kent Village,
stated that this particular plan was presented to them this
evening, and they had not had an opportunity to view it previously.
Mr. Richard Brown, Kent Village, stated that a meeting has been
set for November 22nd to discuss the plans. This meeting will
be with the Kent Village residents and people from Cherry Hills
Village people. He stated that he could not make a formal
statement at this time on behalf of these people. Speaking
as an individual, he stated that he feels this plan as presented
this evening, is a great improvement over that which was approved
in 1972. He stated that he felt there may be need for further
discussion on the placement of buildings, but does feel that
this is a step in the right direction. Mr. Brown stated that
he is aware that residents of Cherry Hills Village are very
concerned about traffic, and whether the streets can carry the
number of cars that will result from the total development of
the site to the density that has been approved •.
Mr. Tanguma asked if the design of the buildings would be
similar to what is approved and constructed on the site now?
Mr. Regan stated that they would not; the townhouses would be
like the Kent Village development, and he would envision the
mid-rise development to be like the Marion Parkway towers.
Discussion ensued.
Mr. Sternberg discussed the change in his architectural style,
stating that he feels he is now more "open space conscious"
than he was 20 years ago. He stated that he does not regard
this as a project, but as a neucleus of a neighborhood. Mr.
Sternberg stated that he hopes to have a two-mile jogging and
cycling lane within the project. The access lanes are designed
to give access to the "private" parking areas. He pointed out
that over half of the parking will be underground, and that the
greenery and · open space will be greatly increased.
-10-
Mr. Draper inquired about the water and sewer service? Mr.
Regan stated that this development would have Englewood water
and sewer service.
Mr. Wanush stated that the existing plan was approved by the
Planning Commission as a Subdivision Waiver. The staff has
proceeded on the assumption and has told prospective developers,
that if they came in with plans to build to the existing site
plan, they may do so. Any changes would require an amendment
of the Subdivision Waiver, and would have to be approved by
the Planning Commission. Mr. Wanush emphasized that this was
the nature of the initial contact with Mr. Sternberg; however,
Mr. Sternberg returned with plans that the staff felt were so
much better than the existing plan that it was suggested he
pursue a possible amendment to the Subdivision Waiver by talking
to the Planning Commission. Mr. Wanush stated that the next
step would be for Mr. Regan to submit a formal request for an
amendment to the Subdivision Waiver. The request may be sub-
mitted in whatever detail the Commission wants. He noted that
discussion has centered around exterior changes, parking and
open space changes. In terms of the process, there is no
formal Public Hearing required, but Mr. Wanush stated that he
felt there should be public input on this matter. Mr. Wanush
stated that he realized that one of the concerns was whether
the project would be completed; he stated that no guarantee
can be given on something like this, because of the market
conditions, which vary dramatically. A developer cannot be
forced to build a project if the market conditions are un-
favorable.
Mr. Tanguma asked if the amendment were approved, whether these
plans would take the place of those that are existing? Mr.
Wanush stated that formal action would be required to amend
the Subdivision Waiver, and that the plans approved by the
amendment would be recorded and would replace the existing
plans.
Mrs. Pierson asked if the Commission could recommend which
phase would be constructed first? Mr. Wanush stated that he
felt this would have to be discussed with legal counsel before
he could state definitely. Mrs. Pierson stated that the Com-
mission could take into account exterior finishing, parking
location, etc. in their consideration of the site plan. Mr.
Wanush stated that this is correct.
Discussion ensued. Mr. Regan stated that the next question :is
whether he should file a formal application to amend the Sub-
division Waiver? It was the concensus of the Commission that
Mr. Regan should proceed to file a formal application.
Mr. Lathrop questioned if the Commission would be giving approval
phase-by-phase? Mr. Wanush stated that he felt the amendment
should be considered on the total vacant area and· if further ~
changes need to be made, they should be approved by the Com-
mission at that time.
-11-
Mr. Allott stated that he wanted it understood that his silence
on the matter does not mean he approves of the proposal. He
stated that the impact of the traffic from such a development
may be mitigated, but it will not be eliminated. Mr. Allott
stated that he was sure there would be input from the residents
of Kent Village and Cherry Hills Village residents.
Discussion on the matter of traffic ensued. Mr. Wanush stated
that a study in Lakewood indicated a traffic factor of nine to
ten trips per day per unit .
Mr. Tanguma asked if solar heating had been considered in this
development . Mr. Regan stated that solar heating is not con-
templated in this development; gas heating will be used, and
that he felt the gas taps would be available by the time the
units are ready for occupancy.
Further discussion ensued.
Meeting adjourned at 9:00 P.M.

-19-
The zoning of the land identified as the Oakley
property which is located in the 4600 block of South Mariposa
Drive, was considered at a Public Hearing before the City
Planning and Zoning Commission on October 24, 1978, in the
Council Chambers of the Englewood City Hall.
The following members of the Commission were
present: Draper, Lathrop, Parker, Pierson, Smith, Tanguma
and Williams. Mr . McClintock was not present during the
Public Hearing.
FINDINGS OF FACT
Upon review of the evidence taken in the form of
testimony, presentations, reports and filed documents, the
City Planning and Zoning Commission makes the following
Findings of Fact:
1. That a petition has been received by the City
Council requesting the annexation of the subject property to
the City of Englewood and said petition is being considered
by the members of the City Council.
2. That the zoning of this property was initiated
by the City pursuant to Sections 22.1-5 and 22 .1-7 of the
Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance and Section 31-12-115(2) of
the Municipal Annexation Act of 1965, as amended.
3. That notice of the Public Hearing at which the
zoning of the subject property was considered, was given by
posting the property and by publication in the official City
newspaper.
4. That the land which was the subject of the
Hearing on October 24, 1978, is described as follows:
-20-
Beginning at the Northwest corner of Plot 13, Bell
Isle Gardens, Arapahoe County, Colorado. Thence South 12 °55'
East a distance of 579.14 feet to the true point of beginning,
said true point of beginning also being a point on the City
Limits line of Englewood, Colorado; thence continuing South
12 °55' East along said City Limits of Englewood, Colorado, a
distance of 275 feet to the southernmost corner of Plot 13,
Bell Isle Gardens; thence North 08°05' East along the City
Limits of Englewood a distance of 271 feet more or less; thence
South 89°47' West and parallel with the northern line of Plot
13, a distance of 99.6 feet more or less to the true point of
beginning; said tract of land containing .307 acres more or
less.
5. That the land has been zoned R-3, Single-family
Residence, by Arapahoe County since the early 1960's.
6. That the topography of the site and the location
of the site in proximity to residential development to the
north and east and to the City of Englewood Reservoir on the
west is such that it most logically should continue to be zoned
for single-family residential use.
7. That the R-1-C, Single-family Residence District,
would be compatible with the residential development in the
unincorporated area to the north and with the residential de-
velopment within the City of Englewood to the east.
8. That the proposed R-1-C, Single-family Residence,
zoning will be compatible with the Comprehensive Plan.
CONCLUSIONS
1. That the proper notice of the Public Hearing
to consider the zoning of the subject property was given;
2. That the proposed R-1-C, Single-family Residence
zone classification will conform with the Comprehensive Plan;
3. That the proposed R-1-C, Single-family Residence
zone classification will permit development which will be
compatible with the development to the north and east of the
subject site and will be a logical extension of the single-
family residence zoning.
RECOMMENDATION
Therefore, it is the recommendation of the City
Planning and Zoning Commission to the City Council that the
above described property which is the subject of a petition
requesting annexation to the City of Englewood, Colorado, be
zoned R-1-C, Single-family Residence, upon annexation to the
City.
