Carson seconded: The Public Hearing on Case #24-80 be opened.
AYES: McBrayer, Draper, Carson, Becker, Barbre, Senti, Pierson
NAYS: None
ABSENT: Williams, Tanguma
The motion carried.
Mrs. Pierson stated that the action required of the Connnission is to con-
sider evidence presented at the Public Hearing, and to make a recommenda-
tion to the City Council regarding the proposed amendment to the Compre-
hensive Zoning Ordinance. Mrs. Pierson asked for the staff report.
Mrs. Barbara Young was sworn in and testified that she is the Associate
Planner for the City of Englewood. It was noted that the notice of the
Public Hearing appeared in the Englewood Herald Sentinel. Mrs. Young
stated that the City of Englewood adopted Resolution #17 of 1979, which
resolution supports the State Implementation Plan of the Clean Air Act,
and requires that provisions for pedestrian and bicycle facilities be in-
cluded in future planning regulations. The proposed amendments to the
Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance in §22.4A, Planned Development, and §22.5-5,
Off-Street Parking Standards, would make provision for bicycle and pedestrian
facilities to be provided in future developments, and set standards for
bicycle parking facilities.
Mr. Tanguma entered the meeting at 7:05 p. m. and assumed his place with
the Commission.
Mrs. Young stated that the provision of bicycle and pedestrian facilities
would also be in compliance with the Comprehensive Plan of the City of
Englewood. One of the courses of action set forth in the Comprehensive
Plan was that the City "develop alternatives to the use of the automobile,
including provisions for walkways and bikeways, in all future transporta-
tion planning." Mrs. Young displayed a map of the Master Street Plan,
which map had proposed bicycle trails superimposed on it. Mrs. Young
stated that most of the parks within the City of Englewood have a bicycle
system within the park, but the City does not have an on-street bicycle
trail system. The Denver Regional Council of Governments has proposed a
bicycle trail system along the South Platte River which will tie into the
bicycle trail system in Denver and Littleton. A bicycle trail system in
Englewood could tie into this proposed system along the South Platte River.
Mrs. Young stated that the proposed amendment to the Planned Development
provisions of the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance would require developers
to identify bicycle and pedestrian paths within their proposed development.
Mrs. Young stated that the proposed amendments to §22.5-5 set forth off-
street parking standards for bicycles, and require that parking facilities
be provided for bicycles in high density residence districts as well as
in commercial districts.
Mrs. Pierson asked for comments from the Commission.
•
Mr. McBrayer stated that he felt this might be an appropriate time to make •
provisions for ramping at curbs and in lieu of or in addition to steps into
some buildings; bicyclists and handicapped are denied access to some buildings
because of no ramps, and it is extremely difficult to negotiate the curbs
without the ramps. He felt there should be some type of accessibility
statement written into the proposed amendments at this time.
•
•

Mrs. Young stated that she understood that new curbs at intersections had
to be ramped at the present time .
Discussion ensued. Mrs. Romans suggested that possibly this provision
to require ramping for bicycles and handicapped and curbs and entrances
to buildings could be included as part of §22.4A-6(f)(3). Mr. McBrayer
suggested that this section could be amended to read: " ...•. to be
generated, AND ALL CURBS SHALL HAVE RAMPS FOR BICYCLES AND THE HANDICAPPED,
AND AT ENTRANCES TO BUILDINGS." Further discussion followed. Mrs. Pierson
suggested that the wording on this provision be: " to be generated,
AND ALL CURBS AT ENTRANCES AND OTHER ACCESS POINTS SHALL HAVE RAMPS TO
FACILITATE ACCESS FOR BICYCLES AND HANDICAPPED."
Mr. McBrayer stated that he felt a similar provision should be included
in the amendment of §22.5-5 regarding ramping of curbs and access points
to buildings. It was suggested that this be included as a separate pro-
vision in §22.5-5a(l5)(e)(5), with the wording to the effect that all
designated bicycle parking areas shall be accessible by ramps.
There were no persons present who wished to address the Commission relative
to the amendments to the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance.

IV. SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS
Amendments to include provisions
for bicycle/pedestrian trails
CASE #25-80
Mrs. Pierson stated that this Public Hearing concerns proposed amendments
of the Subdivision Regulations, which the Commission shall consider and
make recommendation to City Council regarding approval or disapproval.
Carson moved:
Tanguma seconded: The Public Hearing on Case #25-80 be opened.
AYES: Tanguma, Senti, Pierson, McBrayer, Draper, Carson, Becker, Barbre
NAYS: None
ABSENT: Williams
The motion carried.
Mrs. Pierson asked for the staff presentation.
Mrs. Barbara Young appeared before the Commission, and stated that the
proposed amendments to the Subdivision Regulations include the definition
of a Bicycle Lane, Bicycle Trail and Pedestrian Trail, in addition to
modifications to §22.3-22, Contents of Preliminary Design; §12-3-23,
Vicinity Sketch; and §12-3-25, Review of Design. Mrs. Young pointed out
that these changes which are proposed in the Subdivision Regulations are
•
•
•
•
-7-
designed to implement Resolution #17, of 1979, which support both the State
Implementation Plan and the goals of the 1979 Comprehensive Plan. It was
noted that the Public Notice of the Hearing appeared in the Englewood Herald
Sentinel.
Mr. McBrayer stated that he felt the proposed definition of a Bicycle Lane
was in error, and that it should have provision for a right-turn lane for
vehicular traffic. Discussion ensued. He pointed out that on streets
such as Montview Boulevard there is sufficient space for the designation
of a bicycle lane as well as a right-tum lane for motorized vehicles and
a parking lane. Mrs. Young pointed out that the City of Littleton has had
problems with their on-street bicycle lanes, and she questioned that there
is sufficient space on the Englewood streets to provide for parking, a
right-turn lane and the bicycle lane in addition to two lanes of traffic.
She suggested that possibly the definition could be amended to eliminate
the word ONLY at the end of the definition. Mr. McBrayer stated that he
would approve this amendment.
Mrs. Pierson asked if there were any further comments from the Commission
or from anyone in the audience? There were no further comments made re-
garding the proposed amendments.
Becker moved:
Tanguma seconded: The Public Hearing on Case #25-80 be closed.
AYES:
NAYS:

Tanguma, Senti, Pierson, McBrayer, Draper, Carson, Becker, Barbre
None
Williams
The motion carried.
Mr. Tanguma stated that he has a problem designat1ng bicycle lanes on-
street along with motorized traffic; he felt that bicycle paths and lanes
should be separated or kept on sidewalks where possible. He cited the
problems experienced by the City of Littleton with their on-street bicycle
lanes, and stated that it is a very dangerous situation.
Mr. McBrayer stated that he feels one reason behind the proposed amendments
is to encourage other modes of transportation besides the automobile.
Bicycles are a pollution-free mode of transportation which provide good
exercise, and he felt that the bicycle lanes should be integrated into
the other vehicular traffic lanes wherever possible. Mr. Tanguma stated
that he still felt it is unwise to mix bicycle traffic with motor vehicles,
and that ways of separating the two types of traffic should be explored.
Mrs. Becker stated that there would not be sufficient space to separate
the two types of traffic without constructing an entirely new street system.
Mrs. Pierson pointed out that the proposed amendments are setting forth
definitions and regulations for bicycle lanes and paths; this is not a
matter of "designing" the lanes and paths.
Mrs. Romans pointed out that the proposed amendments would apply to new
subdivisions, and would not apply to the existing street design .
Discussion ensued. Mr. Draper suggested that possibly the installation
of reflectors along the painted white line designating the bicycle lanes
could be considered. Further discussion ensued.

V. ZONING DESIGNATION
Osage Street Annexation Area
I-1, Light Industrial
Tanguma moved:

CASE #29-80
Carson seconded: The Public Hearing on Case #29-80 be opened.
AYES: Becker, Barbre, Tanguma, Senti, Pierson, McBraye r, Draper, Carson
NAYS: None
ABSENT: Williams
The motion carried.
Mrs. Pierson stated that the matter before the Commission is a Public
Hearing on a zone designation for the Osage Annexation area. She asked
for the staff report.
Mrs. Romans was sworn in, and testified that she is the Acting Director
of Community Development. Mrs. Romans testified that the Planning Com-
mission had received a petition from Mr. and Mrs. McGirr and Mr. and Mrs.
Vette asking for annexation to the City of Englewood, which petition was
referred to the City Council for favorable action. A vicinity plan of
the subject area was displayed; Mrs. Romans indicated several properties
in this area which have been annexed to the City of Englewood. Mrs. Romans
noted that properties at 1470, 1485 and 1600 West Tufts Avenue have all
been annexed and zoned I-1, Light Industrial, by the City of Englewood.
Two properties on South Mariposa Drive have also been annexed to the City,
and these properties, owned by Mr. Anderson and by Mr. Wayne Oakley, were
given an R-1-C, Single-family Residence, zone designation. Mrs. Romans
stated that this entire area was part of the Santa Fe/Union Annexation
area which the City attempted to annex during the early to mid 1970's,
and the property was actually within the City jurisdiction for a short
time prior to invalidation of the annexation by the Court. During the
brief time the City had jurisdiction over this area, a Building Permit
was issued to Mr. and Mrs. Vette at 4545 South Osage Street for an in-
dustrial building on their property, and following the decision by the
Court returning the jurisdiction over this area to Arapahoe County, the
Building Permit was turned over to Arapahoe County.
Mrs. Romans stated that the irregular boundaries in this area cause con-
fusion for the emergency services, and brings response to calls from
Englewood, Littleton, and Sheridan as well as from the Arapahoe County
Sheriff's Department. This multiple response to a call is expensive, as
well as creating a hazard should another emergency occur and these units
not be available for response.
Mrs. Romans stated that the City Council did approve the annexation of
1501 West Tufts Avenue and 4545 South Osage Street on final reading at
their meeting of October 20, 1980, and the City is required by State
Statute to place a zoning designation on newly annexed land within 90 days
of the date the annexation is final. It is imperative that the zoning
procedure be started prior to the completion of the annexation procedure
to meet this time limitation. The staff does recommend that these
properties at 1501 West Tufts Avenue and 4545 South Osage Street be
designated I-1, Light Industrial. It has been the position of the City
that there should be no new residential zoning designation in this area
along West Tufts Avenue, and that the area annexed to the City should be
-10-
developed with light industrial uses. The staff is of the opinion that
I-1, Light Industrial, is the proper zoning for this property, and does
recommend that the Planning Commission refer the matter to City Council
with a favorable recommendation. Mrs. Romans stated that the property
has been posted the required length of time; public notice of the hearing
did appear in the official City newspaper, and she asked that the staff
report be made a part of the official record of the Hearing.
Mr . Senti asked if this annexation would take care of all of the land in
this area? Mrs. Romans pointed out properties that would still remain in
the County, which total eight or nine ownerships east of South Santa Fe
Drive.
Mrs. Pierson asked if there were any members of the audience who wanted
to speak regarding this matter? No member of the audience spoke on the
zoning designation.
Mrs. Becker asked if, following zoning to I-1, Light Industrial, the
property owners wanted to improve a residential use on the property
whether they would be able to do so. Mrs. Romans stated that if it is
a matter of making the dwelling safe and habitable improvement is allowed.
Expansion of a non-conforming residential use in an industrial area is
not permitted. Mrs. Romans did point out, however, that a caretaker use
is permitted in the industrial districts, and that there are no specific
restrictions on this .

ABSENT: Williams
The motion carried.
Mc Brayer moved:
Carson seconded: The Planning Commission recommend to City Council that
the following described property commonly known as 1501
West Tufts Avenue and 4545 South Osage Street, be given
an I-1 Zone District designation upon annexation, for
the following reasons:
Part of the SW 1/4 of the NE 1/4, Sec. 9, T 5 S, R 68 W,
of the 6th P.M. described as beginning at a point 662.1
feet North and 87 feet East of the center of said Section
9, said point also being the centerline of West Tufts
Avenue; thence North 220 feet +/-to a point on the
Englewood city limits; thence East along said city limits
46.9 feet +/-; thence North along said city limits 220.9
feet +/-; thence East along said city limits 196.8 feet
+/-; thence South along said city limits 440.9 feet +/-
to the centerline of West Tufts Avenue; thence West along
•
said centerline 244 feet +/-to the point of beginning. •
Said parcel contains 2.231 acres +/-.
1. The I-1, Light Industrial Zone District would be an
extension of the I-1 Zone classification which has
been applied to lands within the City of Englewood
which adjoin or are adjacent to the subject area.
•
•

2. Because of its proximity to existing industrial de-
velopment, major railway lines and South Santa Fe
Drive, the subject area does not lend itself to
residential development.
3. The Comprehensive Plan designates the area in which
the properties are located as suitable for industrial
development.

VI. SUBDIVISION WAIVER
1860/1864 West Dartmouth
CASE #30-80
Mrs. Pierson asked for the staff report on this matter before the Commission.
Mrs. Romans stated that the Department of Community Development received an
application from a Mr. Bob Cooper, owner of property at 1860/1864 West
Dartmouth Avenue, requesting a waiver to the Subdivision Regulations. Mr.
Cooper proposes to divide his property into two parcels. There is access
to both parcels of land from West Dartmouth Avenue, and there is no reason
to require that a Subdivision Plat be prepared, approved and recorded in
order to divide it as proposed. The subject property was indicated on a
vicinity map, and Mrs. Romans again pointed out that there appears to be
no reason to require that a Subdivision Plat be prepared, and no reason
not to permit the division of the property as proposed by Mr. Cooper.
Mrs. Romans pointed out that Mr. Cooper is present if the Commission had
questions they wished answered by him.
Mrs. Pierson asked if Mr. Cooper wished to address the Commission?
Mr. Bob Cooper
6601 South Cedar
Littleton, Colorado -stated that he wished to divide his property into
two parcels; he pointed out that the Brinks Armored
Car business owns the property immediately next to his, and that they are
interested in future expansion. If he does not sell part of his property
to them for expansion purposes, he will construct a building on this
portion of the site himself.
Becker moved:
Carson seconded: The Planning Commission approve a Subdivision Waiver
as requested by Mr. Bob Cooper for properties at 1860-
1864 West Dartmouth Avenue, which parcels are described as follows:
Parcel "A": That part of the Northeast quarter of the Southwest quarter

The motion carried.
VII. DOWNTOWN DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY
Off-Street Parking Lot
CASE //31-80
Mrs . Romans stated that the Planning Conunission reviewed the plans of
the Downtown Development Authority several months ago, and while the
concept of the plans was approved, the plans for this parking lot have
not been specifically approved. The parking lot will be on the west side
of South Lincoln Street in the 3400 block. The plans for a mini-park
in the parking lot have been eliminated, and the walk-through to South
Broadway has been enlarged and will feature large open areas, seating
areas, a fountain, and landscaping.
The Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance requires that the Planning Conunission
approve the layout for any parking lot of fifty spaces or more. The
proposed parking lot will have spaces for 75 compact cars and 78 standard
sized vehicles. Mrs . Romans discussed the financing of the construction
of this parking lot, part of which will be financed by the Assessment
District, and the north 50 ft., which is owned by Mr. Litman Sachter,
will be purchased and developed out of Downtown Development Authority funds.
Mrs. Romans stated that there will be "pavers" along the west side of the
parking lot for pedestrian traffic up to the walk-through. Mrs. Romans
stated that landscaping is proposed on the north, east and south sides
of the parking lot . Mrs. Romans stated that she knew the Development
Authority was hoping to proceed with the improvement of the parking lot
yet this fall; they feel very strongly that they need to do something to
show people that they are seriously pursuing the implementation of their
plans. Also, the cost of materials for use in the parking lot are going
up, and they hope to complete this portion of the planned improvements
prior to the cost increase.
Mrs. Pierson stated that she saw
regarding an automatic sprinkler
landscaping. Mrs. Romans stated
it is shown on the plans or not.
nothing in the plans before the Conunission
system for maintenance of the proposed
that she knew this was planned whether
Mr. Keller, Executive Director of the
•
•
•
•
•
-13-
Downtown Development Authority, stated that it is not the plan of the
Authority to put in the landscaping this Fall; there will be provision
for water taps and meters and undergrounding of service lines to the
planting areas so that next Spring they can install the landscaping. Mr.
Keller stated there will be a seven foot planting area on the north and
south ends of the parking lot. Mr. Keller further stated that the EDDA
has a contract to purchase the property owned by Mr. Sachter, which will
close the middle of November. Mr. Keller stated that the EDDA is committed
to buying the Sachter property and to pay for the improvements to that
property. Mr. Keller stated that the parking lot improvements would be
billed in a lump sum for both the Sachter property and the parking area
to be financed by the Assessment District, and the costs for each will
be apportioned out. The underground lines will be put in prior to the
completion of the paving of the parking areas.
Mr. McBrayer stated that he felt something should be stipulated in the
approval of the parking lot that the service lines and sleeving for the
underground lines should be required during the initial construction phase.
Mr. Senti asked about the width of the walk-through? Mr. Keller stated
that the walk-through would be 34 feet in width.
Mr. Carson asked about provision of parking spaces and facilities for
handicapped and bicyclists? Mr. Keller stated that while he did not believe
any of the parking spaces were of an extra width to accommodate the vans
belonging to handicapped motorists, there were specifically designated
parking spaces for the handicapped along the west side of the parking lot •
Mr. Keller stated that there will be ramping for handicapped and bicyclists
at the intersection of South Lincoln Street and East Hampden Avenue.
Mr. Tanguma asked about lighting in the parking lot? Mr. Keller stated
that there are three poles of the Public Service Company "type" that will
be removed, and three new decorative light standards will be going in.
Mr. Keller stated that the electrical service lines to these units will
also be underground.
McBrayer moved:
Tanguma seconded:
Discussion ensued.
The Planning Commission approve the parking lot
layout for the Downtown Development Authority lot
in the 3400 block of South Lincoln Street with the
following conditions:
1. Landscaping must be maintained as an integral
part of the parking lot design. The plan which has
been submitted to the Planning Commission, includes
the Sachter property directly north of the parking
lot, which is not part of the assessment district
which has been approved by the City Council. If it
is necessary to build the parking lot in two stages,
the lot in the assessment district first and the
Sachter property later, the north boundary of the
first stage must be landscaped pending construction
on the Sachter property. Should the Sachter
property be acquired immediately and the current
plan implemented, landscaping will be incorporated
as shown on the plan.

2. The necessary land from that acquired from the
Public Service Company at the south portion of the
alley shall be dedicated to the City for right-of-
way to make a complete 16-foot alley.
3. An automatic irrigation system for all planted
areas shall be incorporated into these plans.
4. The flag notes of the plans shall be amended
to indicate that decorative lighting standards
shall be installed and used in lieu of the existing
Public Service Company poles lighting the lot.

The motion carried.
Mr. Keller announced that bids would be opened at the Board meeting of
October 22nd on the purchase of the Public Service Company Building, and
invited any members of the Planning Commission who wanted to attend to
do so.
Mr. Keller further advised the Planning Commission that the Murphy Complex
in the 3500 block of South Sherman Street has been sold; that he was asked
to sign a document and lease with the new owner.
VIII. PUBLIC FORUM.
Mrs. Pierson noted that there was no one present to speak under this
section of the agenda.
IX. DIRECTOR'S CHOICE.
Mrs. Romans announced that the City Manager had earlier on this date signed
the Personnel Action for the promotion of Mrs. Barbara Young to the position
of Associate Planner in the Department of Community Development. Mrs.
Romans commended Mrs. Young on her abilities, and pointed out that she
had worked with two of the Comprehensive Plan Review Committees, and that
the artistic graphics work contained in the Comprehensive Plan and other
similar reports that have been published by the Department have been done
by Mrs. Young. The members of the Commission commended Mrs. Young for
the work that she has done, and congratulated her on her new position.
Mrs. Romans then announced that Mr. Mccown has hired a new Director of
Community Development, a Miss Susan Powers of Reno, Nevada. Miss Powers
is 29 years of age, and is presently the Director of Community Development
for the City of Reno, and will be beginning her employment with the City
of Englewood on November 24th. Mr. Mccown has stated that Miss Powers
has a strong background in economic development which was a prerequisite
for the position inasmuch as the Director will be working quite closely
with the Downtown Development Authority.
Mrs. Romans stated that the City Council has passed an emission control
ordinance.

X. COMMISSION'S CHOICE .
Mrs. Pierson stated that the next meeting of the Planning Commission would
be on November 5th, 1980, which is a Wednesday evening; this is in lieu of
the meeting on November 4th, which is election day. She asked what would
be on the agenda for that meeting.
Mrs. Romans stated that the staff is working on a rev1s1on of the Bicycle
Trails Study and a Design Review Ordinance, which will be available for
that meeting, plus any other matters that may come in in time to make the
agenda.
Mr. Keller asked if there was any chance that the Commission and City Council
could meet at this time to view the film called "Main Street?" Mrs. Romans
stated that this would have to be cleared with the City Council.
Mrs. Becker asked about the drainage of the parking lot at Girard and South
Logan Street? She noted that everything slopes down to the southwest corner,
and asked what provisions were made for drainage? Mrs. Romans stated that
she would check this out with the Engineering Department; she did note that
the Engineering Department has to approve all drainage plans for parking
lots.
Mr. Draper asked what the acreage was on the Prowswood Development? Mrs.
Romans stated that it is approximately 37 acres. Mr. Draper asked if a
major activity report had been made on the Prowswood Development and on the
South Slopes Development? Mrs. Romans stated that this was done when the
development was initially proposed for these sites several years ago.
Mr. McBrayer stated that regarding the parking lots approved for the Swedish
Medical Center at Logan and Girard and at Clarkson and Hampden, the Medical
Center has completed the lots so that they may be used for parking, but
they have not installed the landscaping, and it is evident they do not
plan to do so until next Spring. He asked if there was any way the Medical
Center could be persuaded to do some of the planting now. Mrs. Romans
stated that she would discuss this with Mr. Cliff Johnson of the Medical
Center. Mrs. Pierson suggested that Mr. Johnson might be informed that
there has been considerable dissatisfaction expressed by members of the
Planning Commission that the landscaping work has not been done. Discussion
ensued. Mrs. Romans reiterated that she will talk to the Medical Center
about the landscaping. Mrs. Pierson asked that Mrs. Romans report back to
the Commission on this matter at the next meeting.
The meeting adjourned at 8:35 P.M.
