C IT Y OF E N GL EWOOD. CO LO.
July 18, 1969
To: Mayor, Councilmen and City Manager
From: City Attorney
Subject: General Obligation Bond Election
Gentlemen:
In view of the recent discussions relating to the possibili-
ties of the issuance of general obligation bonds of the City to
finance the construction of a storm drainage system, I have been
requested to review the Constitutional and Charter provisions
involving general obligation bond elections. Contained herein
is a summary of those provisions.
Article XX, Section 6 e of the Colorado Constitution gives
to every home-rule city the right to regulate, conduct and con-
trol the issuance of all kinds of municipal obligations.
Pursuant to this authority, Article X, Section 104 of the
Citt's Charter provides that general obligation bonds may only
be ssued If:
(a) The issuance is approved by a majority vote of the
taxpaying electors voting thereon at a special
election, and
(b) The outstanding general obligation cannot exceed
three percent (37.) of the total assessed valuation
of the taxable property within the City.
Section 14 of the Charter regulates all municipal elections
and, insofar as the same Is applicable, provides that:
(a) A general obliftation bond election must be a special
election held separate and apart" from all other
elections and only one proposition may be submitted;
(b) Only one special election may be held each year, and
(c) No special election may be held within the forty-five
(45) days immediately preceding, or immediately
following, a general state or municipal election.

vote in a revenue bond election to taxpaying electors,
but had to allow non-taxpaying electors to vote in
such elections. While my personal opinion is that
that decision, and the doctrine enunciated therein,
is inapplicable to general obli~ation bonds, I am
quite certain that, due to the newness" of that de-
cision, whatever bond counsel is engaged the City
will want to review any proposed bond issue very care-
fully in the light of that new Supreme Court decision.
Al l this is to say, then, is that it appears to me th a t the
possibility of holding a special election upon the proposition
of the issuance of general obligation bonds to construct a storm
drainage system prior to the next general municipal election is
realistically impracticable, so that the earliest date that such
an election could be held would be sometime in late December or
mid-January.
Like other bond issues, however, the bonds to be issued are
,_
not "marketable" unless an attorney who is recignized bond counsel
issues an opinion approving all of the procedures engaged in issu-
ing the bonds and all of the terms of the bonds themselves. As a re-
sult, it has been the standard practice of this city, as well
as all other cities, to engage such recognized bond counsel to
actually prepare all of the necessary documents needed. Thus,
while I can render general advice concerning the matter, such as
I have done in this memorandum, the only advice which is of any
great merit is the advice of the recognized bond counsel retained
by the City. To this end, therefore, if counsel determines that
serious consideration should be given to the calling of a special
election upon the proposition of the issuance of general obliga-
tion bonds, it would be my suggestion that Council authorize the
City Manager to contact bond counsel and have bond counsel sub-
mit to City Council at its next regular meeting, if possible, a
detailed outline of the terms of a proposed bond issue, as well
as a detailed time schedule in which the same could be accomplished.

As a result of the above provisions,.therefore, and in view
of the fact that a general municipal election is scheduled for
the first week in November of this year, it is clear that:
(a) The proposition of issuing general obligation bonds
may not be .. >Le d up on nL the forthcoming general
election, and
(b) A special election could not be held between approxi-
mately mid-October and the latter part of December,
1969.
As can be seen, therefore, there are only approximately 80 days
between this date and the last date upon which a special general
obligation bond issue election could be held this year.
As I have indicated to Council in the past, due to the
"mechanics" of preparing for and holding any municipal election,
it is well nigh impossible to have such an election held in a
shorter period of time than 60 days from the date that Council
decides to have an election held. In the case of a general ob-
ligation bond election, however, the time that it takes to pre-
pare the various documents can be expected to be even greater
than 60 days for two principal reasons:
(a) In the first place, aside from the documents calling
the election and the documents needed to be prepared
to give notice of the election, etc., involved in
the actual mechanics of the election itself, in the
case of a general obligation bond election it is
necessary to engage bond counsel to prepare rather
detailed documents relating to the terms of the
bonds proposed to be issued themselves prior to the
time that an election may be called. I have attempted
to ascertain from the bond counsel normally used by
the City the length of time that these preliminary
matters might take but have been unable to reach him.
I would estimate, however, that if all such documents
could be prepared within a period of 30 days after
Council had made all necessary decisions relating
thereto, we would probably be breaking the "track
record" for lawyers.
(b) Secondly, on June 16, 1969, the United States Supreme
Court decided the case of CiSriano v. Cita of Houma,
89 Sup. Ct. 1897, in which tat Court bel that a
city could not constitutionally limit the right to

Nays: None.
Absent : Councilmen Parkinson, Lone.
The Mayor declared the motion carried.
Mayor Schwab stated th a t at an earlier i nformal meet ing
between the Englewood Water Board and the City Council, the
Englewood Water Board had recommended that a contract with the
Denver Water Board be executed whereby Englewood would obtain all
rights to the City Ditch from its headgate in Douglas County to
the interception of the City Ditch at Harvard Gulch near Yale and
Downing. Englewood would agre e to deliver up to November 1 , 1973,
12 cubic feet of water per second at the Harvard Gulch blowoff.
Englewood and the Denver Water Board would jointly attempt to
obtain all other water rights on the City Ditch. However, Engl ew ood
would be allowed to retain water rights equal to no more than
2.5 cubic feet per second.
(Councilman Parkinson entered the Council Chambers at
7:40 P.M. and took his seat with Council.)
City Manager Dial stated that over a ten ye ar period
it was estimated that approximately $30 ,000 net savings would be
obtained by using the City Ditch to prov~de water to the Allen
Filter Plant rather than pumping up from the Platte River at the
Union Avenue station.
Mayor Schwab stated that the take over of the City D~ ch
by the City of Englewood had been tied into the negotiat ions

should agree only in principle at this time in stead of specifically
authorizing the Ma yor and City Clerk to execute the agreement.

Dear Mr, Romans :
The Board of Directors received your request for information on
co st of tapping our facilities in the vicinity of proposed Centennial
Park, The Board cannot a ct on yo ur r equest until certain ac tions, as
shown b elow, have be en co mp leted,
The area you propose to serve is not within the boundary of this
District, therefore the serv1 ce would have to be either through annex-
ation of the area to the lhstric t or through contract between the Dis-
trict and the City, Prior to entering negotiations on any contract, you
or t he City should provide the Board w1 th the following in!onution :
1 , A letter from Dale H. Rea, D:l.s tr ct 's Engineer, i ndicating
the capacity s available in the main line for your pro-
pcsed connections , This letter should &leo i ndi cate the
number of equivalent house taps involved in the co nnections.

all manholes to pro per grades for mai ntenance and provision
for locki ng covers on manholes if vandali sm becomes a
problem.
We wish to advise that 250 LF of sewer line between Union and proposed
sledding area was crushed once in pas t years when heavy equ i pment was work -
ing in the area. Other sections of the line are shallo w enough so that
danger of crushing a line is present. When letting contracts, potential
bidders should be advised to avoid operation heavy equipment over the sewer
line as much as possible.
Upon receipt of proper information the Board will act promptly in order
no t to de lay your construction schedule.

The Board of Directors has asked that your draft of Supplement
No. 15 be returned for minor additions to comply with our letter to
Mr. Romans dated April 9 1 1969. This concerns a conunittment by the
City to provide protection for our sewer line, adjustment of manholes
to proper grade, and provision for locking lids on manholes in the
park area to prevent vandalism.
The Board also wishes to advise that the standard tap fee vas
raised to $300.00 per tap some time ago, and that fee is still in
effect. The Board, howeTer, has agreed, in this instance, to allow
the $200.00 per tap as ,shown in the Supplement.
The Board has approved execution of the Supplement when the
changes requested are added so there should be no reason to delay
your construction schedule.

Mr . Ch arles B. Car roll , Jr ., Utilities Director
City of Englewood

Englewood, Colorado 80110
Dear Mr . Carroll:
Th1s letter 1s wr itten with regard to obta1ning san1tary sever service for an
area east of Englewood in acc ordance with our prev1ous co nference .
Th e proposed service area (Water and San1tat on District) is shown on the
attached sketch map . The area 1s approximately 100 acres bounded by Quincy
on the north, Little Dry Creek on the vest and University on the east . The
area includes land for develo pme t (at approxima tely one house per acre density.)
The St . Mary's School and a few eX1s ing residences are also included. It is
estimated that the area would have approximately 80 residential taps and the
St . Mary's School . The estim ated average sewage flow at full density is
40 ,000 gallons per day.
As you i nd icated, it lS apparent that the capac ties of the existing Englewood
and the South Englewood Sanitation District 1 nes in this vicinity are marginal;
there is probably little room for additional customers on a conventional basis.
Therefore we are proposing a system which vas developed and used successfully

i n Aspen that should not place an additional load on either your lines or treat-
ment plant, To construct and operate the water and sewer systems, it is planned
to form a water and sanitation district, In order to form this district and
partially finance the systems, it is necessary to obtain an agreement for services
for sewage disposal, It is requested that the Englewood Water Board approve
this service sub j ect to the condit ons listed below and furnish a "Letter of
Intent" to serve ,
1 . The propo sed district would construct a lift station i n the vicinity of
L1ttle Dry Creek and Quincy Ave nue as shown, a 6-inch force main westerly on
Quincy to an Englewood sewer west of South Clarkson, and an aerated holding
reservoir of about 50 1 000 gallons. The district would be responsible for
co mp lete operation of this facility. The holding reservoir would be designed
to coll ect all waste flows through the day and peak period. The pumps would
then operate by time clock during the low flow periods of the Englewood system,
probably between 12 :30 a,m. and 6 :30 a,m. Thus, if the pumps were designed to
empty the tank in a five-hour period, the maximum flow rate would be approxi-
mately 165 gpm , which should not create a burden on the Englewood system.
The waste would be aerated so that it would not be septic when discharged to
the plant.
2 , The new district would agree to abandon the pump ing station if and when a
suitable gravity trunk sewer is completed up Little Tiry Creek,
3. It would be i ntended that the commitment would be firm for 80 residential
taps and the St. Mary• s School. If neighboring areas wish to add onto the
system, this would only be done with City of Englewood permission, and the
adding on would be subject to the new district's either constructing additional
holding capacity or participating in increased line capacity downstream in the
Englewood system.
L. The cost to the new district would be the normal Englewood outside rate
schedule. It is understood that the existing costs would include a tap fee of
$75 per residence and an operating charge of $14 per year; however these are
no ~ considered as fixed co sts but could vary if the Englewood standard rate
structure varied,
Please call if you feel further i nformation or discussion is necessary for
the Board to reach a decision in this matter,
Very truly yours

Considerable discussion followed which again brought out the fact that the entire Cherry Hills
Village-Greenwood Hills Village area should have mun icipal sewage treatment service; and
that, during normal peak periods, the sewer lines within the City should not be subject to
additional sewage from taps outs ide the City.
Mr. Ca rroll stated that the proposal by Mr. McLaughlin calls for delivery of the sewagE' 11.t
a manhole in East Quincy Avenue just vest of South Cl arkson Street and that an investigat1on
by him had revealed that the City system could handle the addi t ional sewage from this area
during the per od of time proposed in Mr, McLaugh in 's letter,
The Water and Sewer Board membe rs present all 1ndicated that they felt the area in questi on
would be better off f inancially and otherwise if they could become a part of a larger district
providing sewage transmission all the way to the Englewood sewage treatment plant ; but, since
there is apparently no interest currently in the formation of such a district, reluctantly
agreed that the sub j e ct area should be served as pro posed, su bj ect to control of the delivery
of sewage into the Englewood system at non-peak periods , and other stipulations,

has improved markedly. Mr . Elliott now wishes to sell this property,
and Messrs. Stoner, Johnson, and Ogden have an option to purchase
it contingent upon rezoning to R-3-B.
Mr . Ogden disputed the statement that the area was zoned for "strictly
residential '' use, and cited the school administration complex across
the alley to the east of this property, and also a corner grocery
store at the corner of West Quincy Avenue and South Cherokee Street.
He stated he knew the grocery store had been at that location for a
number of years, but stated he did not feel that this made it a
"strictly residential" area, an:! with the change that is going on in
Englewood, they applied for rezoning in an effort to "control what
goes in" on the subject property.
Mr . Woods asked for hands of those persons living within the area
who were in favor of the rezoning? No one raised their hand as
being in favor of the rezoning .
Mrs . Romans asked that the following letter be noted in the record;
City of Englewood
Planning Commission
City Hall
Englewood, Colo .
Ge ntlemen:
"Englewood, Colorado
June 13, 1969
Subject: Proposed zoning change
Lots 19 through 23
Jackson Broadway Hgts.
Since I am unable to attend the June 17th hearing on the above
mentioned zoning change proposal, I would like to register my oppo-
sition by letter.
I fe e l the addition of the multi-unit dwelling on the corner of
Cher oke e and Princ e ton would c ause a further reduction in the water
pr e ssure in our area , which already quite low, especially during
summer months .
Also , I think ther e is a possibility of parking congestion near that
int e rsection, even though off street parking might be furnished
tenants. A large number of families now have two automobiles, and I
visualiz e these e xcess autos, and the autos of people visiting this
p r opos e d unit, taking up the parking space in front of the homes in
the area .

One or mor e multi-unit dwellings are to be built near the inters ec tion
of Bannock and Oxford , which is only two blocks from the proposed
units to be built at Cherokee and Princ eton, and I do not feel it is
at all necessary to have these units this close together.
Thank you for your consid e ration of this lett er.
Mr. Miller
Sincerely,

Englewood , Colorado"
4171 S. Cherokee-stat e d that he did not live in the area at the
present time, but that he still owned the property
at the above address. Mr . Miller pres e nted a petition signed by
those opposed to the rezoning request, which p et ition contained 62
signatures . Mr. Miller stated they had also drawn a map of the area,
on which 37 opponents were indicated in the 4100 and 4200 blocks of
Bannock , Ch erok ee and Delaware. Mr. Miller then presented a strip
of fi v e pictures of the area, and pointed out that the area isn't
run-down, and that with a few exceptions, the homes are brick .
Mr . Miller stat e d that in the opinion of the opponents, this rezoning
would be "spot zoning", they feel there has been no change in the
condition of the area to jus tify the change of zoning. He pointed
out that th re is a water pres s ure problem in this area right now,
and with th addition of even 12 units, it would become much worse.
Ther would be more traffic introduced into the area, and if one
apartm nt hou s is built in the area, there will be more requests
for r zoning for apartment houses. They like their area as it is
zon d (R-1-C), and do not want it changed.
Mrs. Krist ns n
420 South Cherokee -stated that they had circulated the petition
further than just the 4100 block of South
Ch ro k e , that they had covered parts of Bannock and Delaware str eets
a s w 11.
Mr. Dewey Hill
4201 South Ch erokee -stated that he did not like th e architectur e
of th e proposed building .
Mrs. Romans pointed out that zoning cannot be conditioned upon a
specific building plan . She stated the zoning should be on th e merits
of th e R-3-B Zon e classification, and that building plans presented at
the time of rezoning h arings generally do not mean any thing and
quit e often ar e changed. Sh e pointed out that people should be con-
cerned about th e USE that might go in , rather than the LOO KS of a
building so far as the zoning goes, that anything that was permitted
in the R-3-B Zone District could b e constructed on the site, and not
n ece ssarily the apartment building that Mr . Ogden, Mr . Stoner, and
Mr. Johnson hav e shown.
Mrs. Kristenson
4208 S . Ch rokee -stated that sh e worked in a real estate office,
and that rather than one bedroom apartments being
in d mand, that the two and three bedroom hom e, such as are fou nd in
this block and the surrounding ar e a, ar very much in d e mand , and that
the r al e state offices c annot find enough of this property to meet
th demand . She fe lt it would be v ry unfair to the remainder of the
prop rty own rs in th e block if the r ezoning were to be granted ; she
also commented that she fe lt property owners would get mor e for their
hom s s lling th m as "homes" rath r than selling their property for
apartm nt hous e d v lopment . She asked that the rezoning r e qu est be
d eni d.

Mrs. Miller
4171 S. Cherokee-stat e d that they did live in the area for nine years,
and moved in February of this year, and that they do
still own the property at 4171 South Cherokee. She stated that there is
a bad drainage problem in this area, and that the storm drains just will
not carry the run-of f now, let alone when a large apa rtme nt structure is
built, with a black-topped area for parking to create more run-off. She
pointed out that during the storm of June 8, 1969, the people in this
block had 18" of hail stacke d up in their yards, and in on e home across
t h e street, there was 6 " o f mud and water in the basement. Sh e stated
if the area appeared "run-down " to the applicants, possibly it was be-
ca us e of the "dirt" streets, and that if the streets were paved, she
felt the area would be much improved.
Mr. Woods asked for the hands of those living in the immediate area who
were in opposition to the request? Fourt een people raised their hands
to indicate they were in opposition .
Mr. Og den stated in rebuttal that the proposed apartment house would not
make any difference in the way the drainage ran in the area ; that he had
owned his property since 1951, and had no problem.
Mrs. Mi ller stated that she did not say it would make any differenc e in
the "amount" of drainage coming down , but did say that the blacktop
area will not absorb any water , neither will the large apartment house.
She stated that Mr. Ogd e n "e njoys the vi ew of the lake" the rest of the
residents have to put up with because his property is not situated that
low.
Mr. Parkinson commented that it appeared to him that several property
owners had signed both in favor of the rezoning and in opposition to the
rezoning.
Touchton moved:
Parkinson seconded: The Public Hearing be closed.
The motion carried unanimously.
Parkinson moved:
Lentsch seconded: The matter be tabled for further consideration.
The motion carried unanimously.
Mr. Woods noted that the matter might be considered later in the evening,
and then again, it might not be considered until the next regular meeting
of the Commis s ion on July 8th, depending on the desires of the Commission.
H stated that the members of the audience who wished to observe the re-
mainder of the meeting were welcome to do so.
IV, SUBDIV ISON WAIVER
Don Weakland -Weakland Greenhouses
CASE #27-69A
June 10, 1969
Mrs. Romans stated that Mr. Weakland has not been in contact with the
Pla nning Department since the discussion on June lOth, at which time
Mr. Weakland was advised in the manner he might proceed to gain access
to his landlocked property. No action was taken.
CASE #28-69
Mrs. Romans stated that the proposed parking lot for the Craig Rehabili-
tation Hospital will be located across Clarkson and Girard from the
Hospital its lf. Mrs. Romans noted that the parking lot has been approved
by Mr. Sagrillo, Assistant City Engineer, as to the drainage , and that
Traffic Engineer Hammond has reviewed the plan, and has suggested thoc
wheel stops be used to prevent ingress-egress from the south directly

onto East Girard Av nu a cro ss t h e hollywood curbing. Mrs. Romans noted
that the lot will drain north e ast to the alley . Discussion followed.
Mr. Lentsch aske d if wh el stops shouldn't be placed along the alley
line also to pr event uncontrolled ingress-egress here as has been done
on oth r parking lots throughout the City? Mrs . Romans agreed that this
should be don e co nsistently throughout the City.
Mr . Lon d iscuss e d the drainage problem in that ar e a , and stated that h e
did not fe 1 the residents to the e ast of the alley should be subjected
to addit1onal drainag e; th city has to pump the ar e a after a storm at
th pr s ent time . H sugges te d that the plan b e ref erred back to the
En gine r 's office for furt h er study.
No formal action was taken ; the matt er will be r eferred to the Engineer's
offic e as suggested .
VI. BELLEVIEW PARK ANNEXATION
Zon1n g of ~Annexation . CASE #29-69
Mrs . Romans state d that th e parcel o f land recently annex e d on the we st
boundar y of Be lle vi ew Park is unzoned at the present time. Th e ann ex ation
law provides that the property must be zoned within 90 days. Discussion
follow e d . Mr. Criswel l s t at e d that the city would be picking up another
parcel within 60 days or so, and that he felt it could all be zon e d at
the same tim , or possibly when the revised zoning map is adopted. No
action was tak e n.
VII. STREET RENAMING
Santa Fe Lane to Windermere
CASE #30-69
Mrs . Romans state d that this change has been suggested by the City
Engineer , and it would encompass Santa Fe Lane from Tufts Avenue to
Ke nyon Avenu e, where S3nta Fe Lane ends . This would provide continuity
in designation with that to the south of West Tu fts Avenue as approv e d
by the Commission on May 20 , 1969. Discussion followed.
Lon e moved :
Parkinson s ec ond e d : Th e Planning Commission recommend to City Council
that South Santa Fe Lane betwe e n We st Tu ft s Av e nu e
a nd West Kenyo n Avenue b e renam e d to South Windermere Street c oncurr e nt
with the renaming of South P ec os Street from West Tufts Av e nu e south to

The motion c arried .
VIII. ZUIDER ZEE
Parkin g~yout CASE #26-69B
June 10 , 1969
Mr . Malone , c ounsel f or Zuider Ze e was pr esent for the discussion .
Mr . Malone stated that he was concerned about the denial of ac cess from
the Zuider Zee parking lot directly onto South Jason Street , the only
d dicated street upon which they have ace ss . H stated h e is concerned
about any action whic h wo uld d e ny access to a public street as th Com-
mission did in th ir recomme ndation of May 20th, wh rein they recomm nded
that wh e l stops b e placed along the South Jason Street sid of th
park1ng lot , and for a distance of 80 fe t along the north boundary from
th northeast cor n er. Mr. Malone stat d that they have th requi r d
ntmb r of parki ng s ta lls in their lot , but they fe lt that possibly they
ou ld r arrange th e m--possibly los a few--to move t he proposed curb
cut whic h is shown on th e south c los to th intersection with #285 on
th plans which wer e submitted f urth r to the north. Mr . Malon e sta ted
that it would b e si gned for xit o nly , if this would me et with th ap-
proval of th Plann i n g Commission . He stated that the Zuid er Zee would

(
ta k e care of the signi ng and light i ng o f the sign . He stated that they
would want ingress only on the northern-most curb cut as shown on the
plans they have submitted . He stated that this curb cut would be clearly
signed also . He stated that there will be some problem getting people
into the parking lot of the restaurant anyw a y , inasmuch as east-bound
traffic on U.S . 285 cannot turn le ft at South Jason Street. Discussion
fo llowe d . Mr. Parkinson commented that there was a restriction on the
lo c ation of curb cuts in relation to intersections throughout the City.
Mr. Ma lone stated that the cur b cut as proposed would be 23 ft. to 25 ft.
from the intersection , and if the cut we re signed for exit only , he did
feel there would be a problem . Mr. Pa rkinson noted that there was no
traffic signal at South Jason , and that the cars attempting to get
across #285 might stack up and cause traffic problems that way. Mr.
Malone stated he still felt the main problem would be caused by the
theater's patrons who leave in a "group ". Mr. Malone stated he wasn't
too concerned about egress from the parking lot , but he wanted access
to the parking lot from South Jason Street. Discussion followed.
Mr. Lone stated he still felt there would be problems even if the
southern most cut were for exit only , someone would try to turn left
to get back to the shopping complex, and cause a "real traffic snarl ".
Mr. Malone me ntioned the possibility of Jason being made one-way .
Discussion followed. Mr. Criswell pointed out that the parking lot
has access from the north , and that this public property is devoted to
vehicular traffic. Mr. Malone stated that they had no control over
what the City might decide to do there, and there is no alley there .
Mr. Criswell pointed out that the alleys in this property were vacated
a short time ago at the request of Zuider Zee, and that Mr. Malone had
been the representative to present the request. The Zuider Zee property
picked up the entire north-south alley that was vacated , but did not
gain any additional land from the east-west alley vacation. Further
discussion followed, on whether or not South Jason Street was indeed
a dedicated street. Mr. Criswell stated that he had no reason to
believe that South Jason was anything other than a dedicated street
at this point . Mr. Malone thanked the Commission for their consideration
of the matter.
Lone moved:
Touchton seconded : The matter be tabled for further consideration .
The motion carried unanimously.
IX . COLUMBINE FREEWAY
Mr . Jerry Kelley and Mr. Deryl Gingery were present for the discussion.
Mrs . Romans stated that the Planning Commission has been asked by City
Council to mak e a recommendation to Council as to the preferred location
of the f reeway proposed in the South Santa Fe corridor--the eastern route
or the western route. Th e Commission members have attended several
meeti ngs at which time both routes have been discussed, the latest
meeting which was at the State Highway Department on June 3, 1969. She
sta ted that Mr . Von Frellick has hired engineers to do a study on the
e astern route, and when he was informed that a discussion of the Columbine
F reeway was planned for this eve ning , he asked that Mr. Kelley ~nd
Mr. Gingery be allowed to a t end th is discussion to present their case.
Mr . Kelley stated that to co nsider "their " route they had to have the
cooperation of the County Commissioners , the railroad officials, the
cities of Littleton , Sher i dan and Englewood , the City of Denver . Mr.
Kelley stated he has been abl e to obtain a letter of intent from the
railroad officia ls in Kansas , a copy of which letter was handed the
Commission member s . He stated t hat now with this cooperation on the
part of the r ailroad , that the freeway may be constructed on the Santa
Fe route, using the railroad right-of-way as well as Santa Fe Drive.

Mr. Gingery, an engineer, stated that when he was doing the study for
the State Highway Department as a member of the firm of Meurer, Serafini
and Meurer, he wasn't able to get all of the information he needed, but
now, wor king for a private firm, they are allowed to "negotiate under
different standards ." He stated that the portion from Louisiana Avenue
south to Belleview Avenue would cost $17,600,000. This would have
grade separations at Evans, Dartmouth , Hampden, Oxford, Quincy, and
Belleview avenues. He stated he felt this proposa l would carry 104,000
cars per day on the Freeway (8 lanes), which is the same amount of traffic
indicated in the report of the State Highway Department. Mr. Parkinson
stated that he understood the report to say the Freeway would carry the
104,000 cars, and still have the additional volume of whatever Santa Fe
could carry. Mr. Kelley stated that they had discussed the river route ,
and with f rontage roads and the three lanes in each direction, it would
"w ipe out Santa Fe ". It would c arry 35 ,000 cars per day on each road,
and if Federal Boulevard were impr oved as pro j ected, it would •lso carry
35,000 cars per day. A hookup of the Englewood-Denver one-way street
patterns would accommodate 45,000 cars per day , and he felt this would
be very adequat e for the metropolitan traffic.
Mr. Ginger y stated that the estimating work had been done by himself,
and that they would need additional right-of-way through the golf course
and the existing railroad right-of-way , a total square footage of
2,250,000 . Approximately 1,500,000 square feet of this would be in
Arapahoe Count y and within Denver, 780,000 square feet would have to
be obtained . He estimated that the cost would be approximately $500,000
and that Denv er officials had expressed willingness to provide funds for
this acquisition. Mr. Kell ey stated that the County Commissioners had
also stated that they would like to help in the acquisition. Discussion
followed. Mr. Criswell comme nted that he felt they were low in their
estimates, that very little land would be obtained for $.20 per square
foot. He stated that of the land the City has purchased in the area,
that $.40 per square fo ot is the very lowest we have paid. He stated
that most of the land in that area is selling for $1.00 per sq. ft.
Mr. Lone asked for a cost breakdown on what wo uld have to be devoted to
the north end of the proposed route and what would be spent on the rest
of the route to the south? Mr. Gingery stated that he did not have the
figures with him on the cost of the north end tie in with the Valley
Highwa y, but he stated that to start construction on the highway, the
railroad tracks would have to be moved at an estimated cost of two and
one-half million dollars, which is included in the $17,600,000 figure
quoted.
Mr. Lentsch questioned the carrying capacity of 104,000 cars . He stated
that at the meeting at the Highway Department two weeks ago, it was
estimated the carrying capacity of the freeway would be 160,000 cars per
day . Mr. Kelley stated he thought they were figuring 10,000 care per
day on each frontage road; 35,000 per day on Santa Fe and 104,000 per day
on the freeway. Mr. Parkinson asked if these two plans were based on the
same standards and widths? Mr. Gingery stated that the standards were
not the same, that the western route, as proposed in the study prepared
by Meurer , Serafini and Meurer , was baaed on a 60 ft. median, and this
proposal has a 36 ft. median, with eight 12 ft. lanes . Discussion
followed.
Mrs. Romans noted that there is not shown on the plans any attempt to get
Floyd open to tie in with the "freeway " or a frontage road. Mrs. Romans
stated that since the first discussions about Cinderella City started--
on the old KLZ Site and later on the City Park site--studies showed that
Floyd Avenue should be a major arterial and should be extended across the
railroad trac ks to Santa Fe or to collectors along the river. She also
stated that in conversation with Mr. Merten of the State Highway Department ,
he had stated on several occasions that Floyd cou ld in de ed be const ructed
so as to have access to the west if Mr. Von Frellick or •omeone other than
the State Highway Department would pay for i~. She stated that she could

no imag1ne in li ght of the pr e v1ous discuss1ons ho w a plan could have
b ee n d e vtsed by or for Mr. Von Frellick that did nothing to solve Mr .
Vo n Frellick 's ''probl m" of ace ss on t h e north . She questione d the
adv1sability of putting all th traffic from the north side of t h e com-
plex on to South Fox Stre t to West Dartmou th Avenue and that it would
b e contrary to th s at ments to the property ow n ers in the area by
both th City officials and th d veloper at the time it wa s discussed
w1 th th rcsid nts b for the lection i n 1964 .
Mr .K lley stat d h f lt that th interchange at Dartmouth and the free -
way would solv th problem , and as far as t h e traffic on Fox Stree t was
cone rned, that he "wo uld have an answer to that probl e m i n 1~ weeks".
Mr . K lley stated that Englewood officials hav e insisted t hat they must
hav e access fro m th north onto Dartmouth Av e nu e . Mrs . Romans state d
that to the co ntrary , that City plans show acc e ss to the west on We st
Floyd Avenue and that the De nv er Met ropolitan Ar e a Transportation Study ,
System 48 , showe d Floyd Av e nu e as a major arterial projected to the
South Platt Riv er Driv e from South Broadway . She stated that this is
a problem and that it will only get worse if plans for a hot e l on the
north of th s1te ar e carried out and that Mr. Von Frellick should b e
co nsid eri n g it. Mr. K lley stated that the d e velopers of Cind erella
City hav e always had only the b e st inte r e sts of the City at h ear t . Mrs.
Romans show d Mr. K 11 y ear li e r Master Street Plans , in all of which
Floyd Av e nu e was sh own as an arterial , and she stated that to h r
knowled ge , th City of Englewood has n e v er state d that they did not want
Floyd Av nue to e x t nd und r th e railroad tracks to tie in with either
Santa F e Driv or th Plat te River Road . Furth er dis c ussion fo llowed.
Mr . L e ntsch ask d Mr . K ll ey how they propos e d to financ th1s project?
Mr . Kelle y discuss d s v ral finance considerations , and not ed that they
might try to pick up the State Highway Department 's suppl e me ntary budget
for the n ext y ar or so . Federal participation in th~ pro j ct was also
discuss e d by Mr. Gingery. He noted that the proposed freeway is not of
inte rstate 1 ngth and therefore , we cannot get th e 90-10 match i n g funds
from the Federal go v rnm nt . Further discussion followed. Mr . Lone
ask e d if th r was a c ost stimat e availa le on the portion of the
freeway south of B lle vi w. Mr. Gingery stated that it is e stimat e d to
b e approximat ely $1 3,00 0,000., the same cost as was reported i n the
report don for th State Highway Departme nt .
Mr . Woods e xpr e ss d the appreciation of the Commission to Mr . Ke lley and
Mr . Ging ery for their attendance . No further a ction was taken .
X. TOM STEELE CASE #31-69
Mrs . Romans stated that Mr . Steele has purchas e d Mr . Huffman 's prop e r ty
at Radcliff and Huron, where there is a low draina ge ar e a that has b ee n
of much concern to the City officials for som e time . Sh e stat e d that
sh e had suggest e d in th e past to Mr . Huffman that th e low part b d e v e lope d
as park land , if not by himself , then to d eed it to the City and let
t h e m d e v e lop it . Mr . Huffman did not agr e to do so , and Mrs Remaps
state d that sh e has mad e the same suggestion to Mr . St ee l e. Mr . Steele
has a house h e wants to locate on part of h1s property, but the land is

X I . MAS TER PLAN
Comm1ssion members were given rev1sed cop1es of the Comprehensive Plan ,
t;o which has been added a section: A PLACE TO LTVE . This revised Plan
and the new section were reviewed . The hear1ng on the Comprehensive Plan
has b e en set for July lst . Mrs . Romans noted that the freeway is not
shown in an actual location on the large maps that have been prepared for
the ptb lie hearing , but instead there is shown a ''corridor" wherein the
f r e eway might logically fall. Mrs. Romans stated ~hat S ate Planning
Dir e ctor Miles had stated that he felt a section similar to the new one
t1tled A PLACE TO LIVE should be added , 1nasmuch as most communities do
not g o into a study of their neighborhoods and run into difficulty on
tha t very matter when applying for Federal Aid. The Commission members
felt that this section should be in the Comprehensive Plan , and that the
plan was as they wanted it before the Hearing .
Mr . Carlson and Mr. Touchton noted that they would not be able to be
presen~ at the meeting on July 1st. Discussion followed. It was decided
that the best thing to do would be to reset he date for Public Hearing
to July 17th . Mrs. Romans asked the Commission what procedure should
be followed as far as publicity was concerned on the Comprehensive Plan .
It was suggested that the Chamber of Commerce and League of Women Voters
might be given copies in addition to news releases .
Mr . Lone asked why Delaware was being considered as a collector street
by the Director of Public Works and the Traffic Engineer when the plans
indicate that Fox will be the through street? Mrs . Romans s ated that
back in 1958 , Delaware was considered as an arterial street t o ex t end
from West Yale Avenue to West Belleview Avenue , and that a good deal of
it was built at that that time to the specifications of an arter1al .
S1nce that time , however , the shopping complex and t he First Nal1onal
Bank have been planned on what would be Sou h Delaware Stree and De nny
M1ller Field is developed across what is a a ed South Delaware Stre e~
between West Ithaca and West Jefferson a e nu e s . Now , because more of
South Delaware Street is paved than South Fox S ree ·, the City Eng1nee·
and Traffic Engineer are of the opinion t hat the Compr e hensive Plan
should he changed , designating South D lawar Stre t as a collector ra t h e r
than South Fox Street . The Traffic Eng1ne r has sta t d that , 1n hls
opinion , an arterial street does not hav to b of any des1gna ed length ,
and hat he feels motorists can mak the og We st K nyon Av enue either
to Sou t h Cherokee Street or South Elati Stre and h n go on hrough the
City . Discussion followed . Mr . Lon asked why , 1f he "plans " can be
changed just because one s~reet isn 't up to standards , and could ell be
brought up to standards , does this office and th1s Comm1sS1on spend the
tim e study1ng , revis1ng , and recommend1ng a plan that w feel is a direct
r out e , such as Fox Street in th i s part1cular ins t ance? Further dis c ussion

FOREWARD •••
All of us want Englewood to be a city with liva bl e neighborhoods, a
prosperous business climate and productive industrial dis tricts . We
want it to be a progressive city which provides adequate services---
fire and police protection---water---sanitary sewer---storm drainage
---street improv ement s---and the convenience of public and semi-public
facilities---parks---playgrounds---swimming pools---tennis-shuffleboard-
horse shoe courts---a well-staffed and efficient school system---
health facilities---religious institutions of different faiths---an
art center--a symphony---and theaters . We want all of these services
and facilities in order that our physical needs and comforts can be
met, and our minds and souls nourished . We want a city with beauty
and amenity where every person---every man , every woman, and every
child---can live in dignity and with purpose .
If thes e goals are to be reached , we need to look ahead---to plan for
our future---to guide and direct the redevelop~ent of our older areas
and our new growth . Our city has grown as the result of the ideas,
the contributions and actions of an untold number of individuals over
a period of years---some private citizens , and some dedicated officials
elected by their neighbors to represent them . Now if we are not to
work at cross purposes, some means must be found to coordinate 'and
direct the actions which were taken yesterday, and the actions which
are being taken today toward our common objective---to make Englewood
a desirable place to live tomorrow .
The "means" by which we can accomplish this , we shall call the
"planning process". This process is expressed through a document
referred to as the Comprehensive Plan . To prepare and continually
update the Comprehensive Plan is a major function of the City govern-
ment, for in the final analysis, the elected officials and their
administrative staff must bear the responsibility for guiding the
character of our city . The Comprehensive Plan is a "guide", it is
the framework within which we shall build for Tomorrow .
The City Pla nning and Zoning Commission with the assistance and
cooperation of the many municipal departments, has re-evaluated
Englewood Tomorrow, the Plan of the late '50 's and the Guide for
Growth, the Plan of the early '60's , and has prepared this Comprehen-
sive Plan as a guide to the City Council and the Citizens of Englewood.
It represents the latest and best thinking for the future of our city .
In generalities this Plan looks ahead thirty years---to 2000 A .D .---
but to plan for thirty years from now---indeed, to plan in specifics
for ten years from now is unrealisti6, for Planning must be a con-
tinuing program . It isn 't a matter of drawing the charts and maps,
writing the text , putting them in a binder on the shelf and settling
back in the Chair , satisfied that all is well because "We have adopted
our Comprehensive Plan ". No, as new influences are brought to bear,
as people and ideas cha nge , as technology and techniques change, our
Plan must ~e reviewed and revised .

The Comprehensive Plan should be more than a "guide", it should also
be a budgetary tool . This Plan should be the tool used to determine
the City's Public Improvement Program. Unfortunately, even though we
have had a Capital Improvement budget for many years, public improve-
ments in the past have usually been constructed only when the need
was so pressing that further delay was impossible. The physical plant
of the city is too important and represents too great a public invest-
ment to be delegated second place and implemented only if the City in-
come is such that these improvements can be planned within the frame-
work of the perennial "bare-bones budget." Instead, there must be,
as a part of the municipal budgeting process, an agressive five-year
Capital Improvement Program based upon priorities established after an objective study of the Plan.
To do this, there must be public understanding and support! City
officials alone can do little unless there is widespread public under-
standing of these matters and a widespread public demand that these
improvements be built, and a committment to pay for them. Only then
can Englewood truly become Progress Country, U.S. A.

HISTORY AND CHARACTER
In 1859, gold was discovered in the Little Dry Creek where it flows
into the South Platte River near Dartmouth Avenue. News of this dis-
covery traveled fast, and in 1859, the famous gold rush was on.
The goldrushers and their families began establishing small communities.
In 1864, Thomas Skerritt settled on the site where the City of Englewood
is now located. At this time , Indians were still roaming the range ,
and Skerritt told of feeding hungry Ute Indians encamped on the site
where Flood Junior High now stands.
Skerritt was also responsible for establishing the first connecting
route between Denver and Englewood. This route, called Broadway be-
cause of its width, was laid out by plowing a double furrow from Cherry
Creek south to Englewood. This route was the basic layout for Broadway
today.
One of the earliest names recorded for Skerritt 's settlement was Fiske
Gardens. Later, due to the many beautiful trees in the area, the com-
munity was known as Shady Side, and still later, Orchard Place. In
1903, Orchard Place was incorporated and given the name Englewood ,
meaning "wood of the nook." The boundaries of the town at that time
were Yale on the north, Clarkson on the east, Breen (Quincy) on the
south, and the railroad tracks on the west.
Incorporation was no easy task, as the city had long been known as one
of the toughest tiny spots in the state. The proponents for incorpora-
tion were primarily new settlers, and based their platform for incor-
poration on governmental exclusion of the many establishments of ill-
repute, amusement, and drinking. The opponents of incorporation were
the old settlers who wanted the city to remain "wide open". In one of
the most spirited election days ever seen in the area, the new settlers
won by a narrow margin, and the newly elected officials began the ar-
duous task of cleaning up the city, building a new jail and dog pound ,
and studying water and irrigation problems.
Early Englewood was well-known for its Tuileries Park, located in what
is now the 3300 and 3400 blocks of South Broadway . This park comprised
some 35 acres, and included a large artificial lake, the largest dancing
pavilion west of Chicago, an airdrome, and all the latest amusement park
devices. In 1915, after operating for only nine years , the lavish
Tuileries closed its doors, bringing to an end the fun and gaiety that
the park had brought to everyone.
Beginning in 1883 and operating until 1910, the Cherrelyn Horse Car was
one of the most popular attractions in Englewood. Old Dobbin , often
clad in an old straw hat, would pull the street car up the hill to
Cherrelyn on Broadway from the Loop, located in the vicinity of Hampden

From incor poration in 1903 , through a highly co nt e s ted and narrowly wo n
victory to avoid annexation to De nv er 1n the twenties , to a four-year
fig ht for City own e d water in th f tf t t e s , Englewood has s t ru gg led to
maintain h er sel f -g over nm ent. By a vot e of the p eop l e , Englewood be-
came , in 1958 , a Hom e Rule City wt t h a Council-City Mana ger f orm of
government . Under this form of municipal government , t h e city 1s pro-
gressing at an un exce ll e d rate. In population alone , Engl ewood has
grow n by l e aps and bounds. From a population of 16 ,869 in 1950 , the
city grew to 33 ,398 in 1 960. According to t h e last census , Englewood
ranks sixth in size in population in t h e state of Colorado . Pr ojected
plans anticipat the City's population to b e from 50 ,000 to 55 .000 by
1980 . With a booming trade , En g l ewood now ran ks sixth in r et a1l sales in the State.
In the last d ec ad e, E n g l ewood has xperienced an excel l ent tndustrial
growth . The city now c on tai ns som e 60 indus tri al firms , too many to
m ntion in their e ntir et y , but inc luding th e internatio n ally known
General Iron Works , Canada Dry Bottl i n g Company , Coors Dts tr~butor ,
S alte st Dairy and Stainless Equipme nt Co mp a n y .
Eng l ewoo d is also famous for its car na tio n industry, producing about
o n e -fo urth of the 80,000,000 blooms grow n annually in the S tate .

A PLACE TO LIVE
Although the neighborhood concept was taken into account some 2000
years ago, the neighborhood unit principle was not clearly formulated
for planning principles until 1920 when a man named Perry undertook a
study for New York . Mr . Perry suggested that if six principles were
followed, " ... there will result a neighborhood community in which the
fundamental needs of family life will be met more completely ... " The
six principles are :
1. Size. A residential unit development should provide housing
for ~ population for which one elementary school is ordinarily
required, its actual area depending upon its population density.
2. Boundaries. The unit should be bounded on all sides by
arterial streets, sufficiently wide to facilitate its by-passing,
instead of penetration , by through traffic.
3. Open Spaces. A system of small parks and recreation spaces ,
plannea-to meet the needs of the particular neighborhood should
be provided .
4 . Institution Sites. Sites for the school and other institutions
having service ~pheres coinciding with the limits of the unit
should be suitably grouped about a central point, or common.
5. Local Shops. One or more shopping districts, adequate for the
popuTaTIOn~e served, should be laid out in the circumference
of the unit, preferably at traffic junctions and adjacent to
similar districts of adjoining neighborhoods.
6. Internal Street System. The unit should be provided with a
special street system, each street being proportioned to its
probable traffic load , and the street network as a whole being
designed to facilitate circulation within the unit and to dis-
courage its use by through traffic. (Ref .: Clarence Arthur Perry ,
Housing for the Machine Age, New York. Russell Sage Foundation ,
1939.)
The focal point of the neighborhood is the elementary school which
should be no more than a one-half mile walk from the farthest dwelling .
There has been much critici sm of this neighborhood concept over the
years, but now, as more emphasis is being placed on the individual ,
on the family , and on the "group", our attention is once more focused
on the "neighborhood".

The City of Englewood can quite easily and naturally be divided into six
"neig hborhoods", two being the extreme northwest and southwest areas of
the City, and the rest of the City being divided on either side of South
Broadway and on either side of U.S . 285 . Our attention can now be
focused on all school and city facilities as they serve these neighborhoods ,
Each of these neighborhoods have be en analyzed using the Englewood Plan-
ning Department MONTAGE and LAND-USE STUDY and at least five areas
identified where there is a concentration of deteriorating and dilapidated
housing units, which sho~ be considered for redevelopment through a
cooperative program between the property owners and the City .
•
These areas are: (Area 1) Northwest Englewood, the entire residential
area ; (Area 2) between East Dartmouth Avenue and East Girard Avenue
and between South Broadway and approximately South Logan Street ; (Area
3) between U.S. 285 (West Hampden Avenue) and West Lehigh Avenue and
between South Broadway and South Delaware Street (immediately south
of U.S. 285 in the industrially zoned area, the deteriorated units ex-
tend further west, however, it is assumed that because of th e proximity
to the Cinderella City complex that this area will redevelop through
private enterprise), and (Area 4) the 4700 block from South Acoma
Street through the east side of South Huron Street ; (Area 5 ) North of
West Dartmouth Avenue and west of South Broadway over to the railroad
right-of-way. There are other "aged" areas which are adjacent to South
Broadway for its entire length, particularly north of U.S . 285 , and
there are older homes sprinkled throughout the entire City which must
be checked periodically for conformance with the minimum Housing Code
standards in an effort to keep them from deteriorating to the point
that they decrease the value of newer homes in the area.
To encourage the redevelopment of these aged properties which are
interspersed among the newer homes, is one of the biggest planning
challenges faced by the City. Although according to the most current
land use information, about 91% of the City's approximately 11 ,147
housing units are sound, steps must be taken to control any further
deterioration and plans developed to rehouse any persons living in
these areas in houses which must be torn down .
Steps are being taken to e ncourage the redevelopment of som of these
aged prope rties through the revised Comprehensive Zonin g Ordinan e ,
which will p rmit an admixture in certain areas of medium d e nsity units
wit h the single-family units.
It is the goal of the Comprehensive Plan for the City of En g l ew ood to
guide the orderly red e velopment of the aged areas and to preserve th
integrity of the newer neighborhoods , in order that a pleasant , h althy ,
prosperous total e nvironment can be provided for all of the citizens

POPULATION AND LAND USE
In 1903, the year of Englewood's incorporation , the City's population
was approximately 2,000. Growth was slow and fairly steady until after
World War II; then, during the post-war years, the gr o wth rate sky-
roc k eted . The rate has now slowed somewhat, although it is still at a
high level, and present trends indicate population growth from 1960 to
1980 will probably equal that from 1950 to 1960. A portion o f the City's
future population growth will be a result of construction in t h e dwin-
dling undeveloped areas , but most of this growth will result from re-
d eve lopment in older areas. Much of this redevelopment, particularly
in the areas adjacent to the central business district, and in the
vicinity of the hospital compl e x , will be through the renovation o f
older single-family residences to new me dium and high density multi-
family dwelling structures . This trend has been evident in the Ci ty
f or the last several years; however, the climat e for redev e lopment
withi n these areas has never been as excellent as it is at this time .
The gre at drawing power of the new Cinderella City shopping complex,
together wi th the newly improved carrying capacity of c or e area streets
by virtue of improved traffic regulatory devices, will continue to
revita lize and stimulate n ew growth in the business distri ct. This new
developme nt is anticipat ed to be in the form of pro fe ssional and service
offices, low-income housing, multi-family apartment complexes and the
c onve ni e nce and specialty shops to serve the residents and employees
withi n the ar e a as well as clients and customers who will be drawn to
the location. The propos e d multi-family development on the former KLZ
transmitter site which is located one mile directly to the e ast of the
centr al business district, will particularly stimulate redevelopment of
the c orridor between U.S. 285 and Floyd Avenue and from South Lafayette
Street we st to the central business district. New development in the
western portion of the City adjacent to South Santa F e Driv e and the
railroad f acilities will primarily b e industrial and, though important
to Englewood's economic base, wil l not add directly to the population
within the City,
There are s ever al methods of forecasti n g the fut u re populati on of the
City , ranging from pseudo-scientific conjecture to rather refined
techniques . Basically, the various methods fall into three categories :
(1) the assumption that past growth trends are inevitable; (2) the
d e termination of anticipated influences both within the City and within
th adjacent area; and (3) the assumption that approximate popula tion
c an be predetermined and controlled by means of zoning. Becaus e there
ar only four unincorporated areas adjoining the City, its ar e a is
necessar ily restricted to pretty much its present area . In light of
this physica l restriction and considering the City's future ability to
provide necessary services, many authorities and o fficials have pro-

jected an ideal population figure of 55,000. Such a population would
be large enough to provide a variety of land uses , population densities,
dwelling types, and services , yet would not be so large as to impare
the City's facilities, services , and transportation network .
Population and land use can be guided toward a specific goal and held
at an optimum level , through the judicious use of zoning controls, It
is the task of those who prepare and modify the City 's zoning to deter-
mine this optimum level of land use type, intensity, distribution, and
corresponding population. It will also be their responsibility to
realize that technology and social values are changing and to constantly
review and reevaluate these changes in the light of zoning requirements.
What may seem an optimum level today, may be hopelessly unrealistic for the living patterns of the future.

P l~LI C FA C I LIT I ES
The primary function of a city government is to provide for and insure
t he h e alth , sa fety , and well -being of its citizens. Public facilities
provide f o r these s ervices, a nd therefore, merit careful consideration
in community planning . The appearance , design, location , and efficiency
of city facilities reflect the character, ideals, and capabilities of
both the city 's residents and its municipal leaders.
The CITY HALL and LIBRARY complex is the newest and most essential
addition to the public-owned buildings. In 1965, it consolidated the
functions of two older structures and provided more than seven times
the us~ble floor capacity . The building is air conditioned , supplied
with new efficient office equipment, is pleasantly landscaped, and
provides parking space for 130 cars. The library, located on the north
side of the property, has seating for over 100 persons, with an adjacent
area which is being considered for future expansion. According to
American Library Association standards, the library is presently 30%
understocked ; however , the City is an active participant in the Central
Colorado Public Library System (CCPLS), which currently is experimenting
in a "reciprocal borrowing" project. The program allows any person with
a card from any CCPLS member library to borrow books from any other
member without paying any special fees or nonresident charges. The
results of the experiment might well effect the applicability of these
standards. The Roadrunner, the Englewood bookmobile, serves the out-
lying areas Monday through Friday .
One of the most vital responsibilities of the city government is to
provide adequate FIRE and POLICE PROTECTION. The facilities of both
of these services are inadequate because of the large population in-
crease that the City is experiencing. To prevent even worse conditions,
new efforts must be made to expand existing facilities, preferably on
a new, centrally located site, and also to acquire new equipmen t,
additional manpower , and adequate training facilities to insure qualified
personnel. An additional station will be needed to serve the area west
of South Santa Fe Drive.
Educational programs for both children and adults are offered by t he
ENGLEWOOD SCHOOL SYSTEM, An important goal for the system has been
the d e signing of a program which would provide an environment to meet
the needs of the pupil--regardless of race, creed, ability , or interest .
To make this objective possible , the citizens support nine elementary
schools, two junior high schools, and one senior high school, with an
average of less than 28 students per class. The buildings are either
new or near new , all in excellent condition, and it is estimated that
the present facilities will all be paid for by 1973 . No major increase
in school enrollment is projected ; however, some additions are being

planned, such as an auditorium at the Sinclair Junior High School, and
a relocation of the Scenic View School from the industrial ar ea into the residential area .
Englewood has 23 CHURCHES, providing services, counseling, and instruc-
tion for all major denominations. In addition, they serv e the community
in many public activities, providing facilities for private clubs, public
meetings, and centers for youth activities. There are also two parochial
elementary schools, and a graduate Theological Baptist Seminary within the City.
Community health requirements are met by the facilities of SWEDISH
MEDICAL CENTER, which annually treats more than 40,000 persons in its
convalescent and out-patient centers. As one of the nationally renowned
hospital facilities in the metropolitan area, Swedish Medical Center
off rs th full range of modern medical services, adequate for the
community and the 1,000 babies which it delivers into the world each
year. This 282 bed hospital will be compleme nted by the CRAIG REHABIL-
ITATION HOSPITAL on the eastern edg of the Swedish Medical Center site.
The Craig Rehabilitation Hospital will offer a specialized program for
the treatm nt of spinal cord injured patients. In addition to out-
patient treatment facilities, 80 beds will be made available .
Englewood maintains an efficient SEWAGE DISPOSAL plant which was ini-
tially built in 1953 and then doubl e d in capacity in 1960. It utiliz es
a primary and secondary filtratio n type system, which can accommodate
a population of 100,000. No major restrictions are placed on industrial
use, and up to 25% of the present unused capacity could be made available to new industry.
Englewood's n ew McLellan Re servoir and other RESERVOIRS, including
those on Meadow Cr ek, have capacity to supply enough water to support
a population in excess of 55,000 in addition to accommodating new industries.
Electric POWER and natural ga s service is provided by privately owned
facilities at rat s that compare favorably with those throughout the nation .
Th e Engl e wood Planning Commission in the 1969-1975 Capital Improvements
Prog ram outlin e s sp cific projects for priority dev lopment of public
fa ilitie s. Among those of greatest concern are : (A) continued park
xpansion , in c luding the acquisition and dev lopment of prop rty for a
City g olf ours at the McLellan Dam Site; (B) expansion of the City
Library and continu d funding for additional publications; (C) a tower
and training facilities for the fire d partm nt; (D) construction of a
n w police and mergency center ; (E) new und rground utiliti s and
ontinued traffic signal procurement, and (F) expanded storm drainage
c ontrol and stre t surfacing. In addition, it is hoped that smaller but

equally important projects such as Little Dry Creek beautification and
tree planting campaigns could be initiated and completed by the citizens
themselves. It is most important in all city projects that private

PARKS AND RECREATION
From the standpoint of many of th e citizens of Englewood, and from
adjacent communities as well, the decision of the voters in 1964 to
s e ll the City's only major park for $1,000,000. in order that the
Cinderella City shopping complex could be built, was one of the most
far-sighted steps taken by the community in their concerted drive to
become "Progress Country, U.S.A." The $1,000,000 . was ear-marked for
r e placement park land acquisition.
Prior to that time, the major park consisted of 23.4 acres, one acre of
which was not developed, and accommodated a base ball diamond, fenced
from the proceeds of a "Youth" Festival in 1952 when comedian Bob Hope
c am e to town; tennis courts, out-door swimming pool owned by the
Englewood Lion's Club, two shelter houses and band stand built by the
Jay cees , several fire places, picnic tables, horse shoe courts, and a
meand eri ng stream, Little Cry Creek, that flooded occasionally but gave
the local Huckl e berry Finns a place to hunt for crawdads. In addition,
the city had the f ollowin g facilities:

The location of of the fo rm er City Park was a poor one for the children
to reach, with a State Highway adjoin i ng the park on the south , railroad
tracks and a major highway on the west and a bus y ce ntral business
district on the east. Because of these barriers, th e only safe access
to the park was from the north. At a few of the larger elementary school
sites, small gras s ed areas were being developed jointly by the School
District and the Parks and Recreation Dep artment.
After th sale of the City Park was completed, the wheels were immediately
set in motion for the City's new park program. Five neighborhood parks,
asily and safely a ccessibl e to the children , were planned in the differ-
ent quadrants of the City, as were two olymp ic-size swimming pools--an

craft and art classes , adult softball, baseball for boys eight t hrough
19 years of age , junior football , s wim ming and summ er playgrou nd activities.
After this all-out effort to provide park facilities , one would possibly
think that the City could turn its attention to other mat ters ; but this
is not the case . The Denver Regi onal Council of Governments in the
REGIONAL OPEN SPACE P LAN SUMMARY REPORT FOR THE DENVER METROP OLITAN
RE T ION, REPORT NO. 6807 , Decemb er, 1968 , stat e s that 10.5 acr e s of park
and recreati on land should be provided f or each 1 ,000 peopl e. Based
upon our projected population of 55 ,000 in 1980 , Englewood should have
approximately 577 .5 acres o f land d e voted to park and recreation facilities ;
at this time , we have 110 .43 acres, which figure d oes not include some
school playgrounds. DRCOG shows our need by 2000 based on their popu-
lation proj ection , as 973.9 acres o f park land.
The gr owth we hav e experienced in the city since 1950 , and the growth
that we are going to continue to e xperi e nc e, together with t h e trend
towar d shorter work weeks and mor e l ei sure time, will put an e ven
greater d e mand upon Engl ewood's s ervices and facilities . With u r ban-
ization cau sing land which might oth erwi s e hav e been availabl e for
recreation use t o b e used for hom e sit es and c omm ercia l and indus t rial
d e velopment , and the value of the available land in the city s te ad ily
increasing, sit e s for additional f a cilities are going to b e di fficult
to obtain and extreme ly e xpe nsiv e.
Even though our municipal ordinances will require builders and d eve lopers
to provide a cert ain amount of open space and recreation facilities to
a ccommodat e their r e side nts in high-density population areas , addi ti onal
large-scal e recreational facilities such as the municipal golf cou rse
and water sports ar e as will b e required. In addition, the r e d e v elopm e nt
of t h e age d areas in the City to provide new medium-density , low and
me dium income housin g will undoubtedly place a heavy burd e n on the
pre s ent fac ili ties and will require either new sites or an expansion of
xisting sit e s . As o n e sourc e for additional open spac e , it is suggested
that t h e possibility of mini-parks or vest-pocket parks scatt e r e d
throug hout the City on substandard lots , or upon land dedica ted for
streets in areas where t hose streets could be conveniently vacated , b e
xplored. This wo uld be a small area f acilit y which would provide a
limited program of active or pas s ive recre ation , usually for one class
or ag gr oup ranging from the toddler playground to the Senior Citizen
"quiet ar e a". The Tot Lot at Maddox School , t h e Baker Pa rk in northwest
Englewood , th drainage par k way at East Amherst Av e nue and South Clar kson
Street, and the Bard e Park at Charles Ha y School are e xamples of a mini-
par k f acility . Throughout the City there are undeveloped sites , usually
in dra inage ways , that should be acquired and d e v eloped for recreation
fac ilitie s, thus solving both the storm draina ge and recreation needs.
Some possible locations which are suggested are: fir st , the southwest
c orner of South Emerson Street and East Ba tes Av enue , an unplatted parcel
4

whi c h is n eeded as a drainage area , an unplatted parcel at approximately
We s t Rad c liff Avenue and the Huron-Inca alley which has no access , and
i s a drainag e area; a drainage way which bisects the Davolt Subdivision
at We st Stanford Avenue and South Galapago Street, and a draw between
South Te jon Street and South Zuni Stre et and between West Vassar Avenue
and West Colle ge Avenue (this could be developed into a neighborhood
park , we re the entire area to be acquired , as would be recommended).
It is a matter of fun dam ental concern for everyone to develop an aware-
ness, appreciation and understanding of the significance of recreational
facilities to the community and its people. A total recreational pro-
gram must be provided to include a variety of activities to stimulate
the interest of all age groups.
Additional acquisition of land will continue to require foresight on
the part of both the citizens and the City government if we are to have
adequate recreational facilities in the future. Our needs must be
recognized now and plans initiated to acquire land. Inaction now will
result in future inadequacy.

DRAI:SA GE PLAN
The d rainag system of ear l y Englewood cons i sted primaril y of t hr ee run-
off i nt rceptors: (1) De nver City Ditch (an e arly collector for irriga-
tion use, now suppl yi ng Denver 's Washington Park l a k e s ); (2) The S out h
Pla tt Riv er ; and (3) Li tt l e Dry Creek. As the City develope d, it was
realized t ha t this syst e m of storm drainage was inadequate if e xt e nsiv e
prope rty damag e was to b e avoided and the safe ty of the c itiz e ns pro-tected.
Of con ce rn to former City officials, was some mea n s of establishing
flood control me asur e s on Little Dry Cr ee k , as this Cr ee k had p r odu ced
major floods within th e City in 1913, 1927 , and 1933 . In 1933 two flood
control improvements w r e e stablish e d on Little Dry Creek . Th e improve-
me nts consisted o f the En g l ewood Det e ntion Dam (constructed on the Creek
fiv e miles south e ast of t ~e City) and th e straightening and e nlar g in g
of th e Cr e k cha nn e l within the Eng l ew ood city limits. Sinc e the com-
pl e tion of th s e improve me nts, only minor flooding has occurred on
Little Dry Creek. How e ver , because of the inadequacy of s e v e ral br1dges
which coul d block flood wat ers , and und er size d drainage cu lv erts, the
dama ge c ausing potential of Little Dry Creek remains.
Durin g the pr e-war p e riod, oth e r storm d rai n age projects wer e und e r -
taken by th e City with the ai d of t h e WPA . The storm drainage sys tems
which we re e stablish e d at that time, a nd which still exist, generally
follow natural drainage-ways . Althou gh thes e ar e perhaps log ical
systems, th e y are not ef fective s torm drains ; rath e r they ar e a
combination of clos d conduits, culv erts, open ditch e s , and draina ge
swales, which are deficient in actu al carrying capacity. Furthermor e,
they ar e a sth e tically unattractive .
Many portio ns o f the De nve r Ci t y Ditch have b en e nclosed in th e past,
and possibly more s ec tions o f this Ditch will be e n c los e d in the future.
Therefore, it is n cessary that the City of Englewood provide a storm
draina ge system which is not d e p e nd e nt upon the availability and
utility of th e Denver City Ditch as a drainage interce p tor.
P r opos e d Drai nag Syst ~
The d si g n of a storm drainage sys tem for the City of En g l wood will
b comp rised of thre basic e l e me nts: (1) an ntirely n e w syst em for
ar as not pr s ently s erved ; (2) a system d e sig n e d to suppl e me n t or
relieve areas inadequately served at pre s e nt ; and (3) the comp l tion
of a partially co ns tru cted syste m .
Th e propos d dra ina ge sys tem is shown on the accompanying map. The
s ystem d esig n is based on the REPORT ON STORM DRAINAGE STUDY FOR THE
C ITY OF ENGLEWOOD, COL ORADO, HAROLD HOSKINS AND ASSOCIATES, EN GINEE RS, JUNE, 1961."

Basically, the desi g n co nsider ations for the proposed system are : (1)
Duration and Intensity of Pr e cipi t ation . The average annual precipitation
for Englewood is approxTmate1 y f1fteen (15) inches, with three (3) inches
of the total occurring i n th e summer months as rainfall. A summer storm
is generally of short duration, but its high intensity creates flooding
conditions.
(2) Carrying Capacity. For th e storm drainage system to be considered
adequate its carrying capacity must be based on a maximum short-duration,
high-intensity storm expected to occur, on an average once every two
years. However, the downtown area storm drainage system is designed to
accommodate a five-year storm volume.
(3) Conduits. For reasons of maintenance, safety, space utilization,
and esthetics, the storm drainage system should be enclosed . The only
exception might be sections of Little Dry Creek where there is the
potential for an attractive green strip.
(4) Routing. The routing of the proposed storm drainage lines avoids
wherever possible, utility installations, areas of utility congestions,
existing paved streets and paved open areas.
A major link in the City's long-range storm sewer program which was under-
taken in 1968, was the installation of over 5800 feet of line varying
from 15 inches to 48 inches in diameter in a low area in the vicinity
of West Kenyon Avenue and South Santa Fe Lane. This installation has
provided protection from flooding to a rapidly developing light industrial
area.
Flood Plains
On the night of June 16, 1965, the South Platte River crested above
its banks, resulting in the single worst natural disaster in the State's
history. The devastation was particularly notable in the metropolitan
area. While it is impossible to predict the actual occurrance of this
type of flood, it is possible to realize that such a possibility exists
and to plan for its occurrence.
The accompanying map depicts the flood plains area of both the 1933
Little Dry Creek flood and the 1965 Platte River flood, and shows the
limits of the Standard Project Floods put forth by the Army Corps of
Engineers. While the actual Platt e River flood exceeded slightly the
Standard Project Flood , it must be noted that the Corps of Engineers
termed their flood outlines "conservative " if flood-borne debris , trap-
ped by bridge and drop structures , caused "excessive ponding". Such a
situation did in fact occur in the June 16th flood when not only lumber
but house trailers and wrecked cars became "battering rams" in the raging
torrent.

In addition to the destruction to private property, several public
facilitie s were hard hit . Some water and sewer plants were rendered in-
operable. The number of bridges which were demolished or rendered un-
usable created fantastic traffic jams within the metropolitan area in
the days immediately following the flood. In the area bordering
Englewood, bridges were destroye d on West Oxford Avenue, West Hampden
Avenue, Colorado Stat e Highway #70 , and West Evans Avenue . The bridge
under construction on Dartmouth Avenue was also wiped out. Only the
Belleview Avenue bridge remained intact, and it was closed to public
travel for s everal days for repairs. Thus , what was seemingly a
"pas sive" featur e on the Englewood landscape--The South Pla tte River--
became a dominant ba rrier .
The use to which established f lood outlines are put depends primarily
upon public support. The October, 1963 FLOOD PLAIN REPORT prepared by
the Corps of Engineers , practically outlined the exact limits of the
Jun e, 1965 flood . Ho wever, despite the Corps report, very little was
done in the metropol itan area to prevent flood plain encr oachmen t prior
to this disaster.
Since the fl ood , there has been a pronounced interest in a program of
action to prevent similar disasters in the future. Funds have been
partially allocated and initial construction has beg un on Chatfield
Dam , whic h is to be located at the c onflu ence of the Platte and Plum
Creek. Also , the City of Englewood is pres€ntly drafting a flood
plain ordinance for controlling land use in these areas . Further
coordination of effort with the South Pla tte Area Redevelopmen t Com-
mittee, Arapahoe County, Littleton , Sh eri dan , the City of Denver , and
the Denver Regional Coun cil of Gov er nm e nts is in process for th e
establishment of parks and re la ted development all along the flood
plain area.
Making use of available flood plain information, reasonable regulations
can be imposed upon the development of flood hazard areas which will
minimize damage to the uses within the area itself, and restrict the use
of floatab le objects which create damag e downstream. Mobile homes ,
lumber yards, and the storage of vehicles, whether passenger cars ,
trucks, campers--wheth er operable or inoperable--and machinery should
not be permitted in the flood hazard area , in order to minimize the
unnecessary obstruction of the chann ls .
The Standard Project Flood area of the South Platte River which was es-
tablished by th e Corps of Engineers, and reported in October of 1963 in
Volum I , R port and Technical Ap pendix , South P latte River, Waterton
to Bright on, Colorado, and the Intermediate Regional Flood Area as
d signated in Flood Plain Information Volume IV, Denver Metropolitan
R gion, Colorado, are designated as the areas to be covered by flood
plain zoning restrictions in the City of Englewood .

MASTER STREET PLAN
A well-planned and integrated street system is one of the most 1mportant
physical features of any modern, progressive community . The major assets
of optimum street lay-out and interconnection of vehicular transportation
facilities are especially critical in areas where communities are ad-
jacent to, or surrounded by, other communities, such as in the case of
Englewood. The planned street system of a community not only provides
for the safe transportation of vehicles, people , and goods throughout
the area , but also serves as a major guide to any future development .
The location and planning of future schools, parks, utilities , residen-
tial, commercial, and industrial areas , with safeguarding from unneces-
sary vehicular encroachment, depends primarily upon street location and
the level of service of those streets .
Englewood's development has evolved to a form that is directly related
to the personal mobility made possible by the automobile. New trends in
building d velopment have encouraged automobile and truck usage in much
the same way as central urbanization has stimulated the demand for public
transportation. Symbolic of Englewood and the metropolitan area at on
tim wer the single family subdivision , the one story factory, and the
drive-m r staurant; today, however , most representative are apartm nt
dw e llings , the two-car family, the shopping center, the motel , and the
drive-in bank.
In Englewood, as in most American cities, a street system "happen d "
long before an organized planning program came into being . Consequently
during this pre-planning era, developments took place which eliminated
many potential through streets , particularly those traversing from north
to south. Among such developments ar the "old" City Park which is now
the location of the Cinderella City Shopping Center; the Little Dry
Creek Shopping Center; some elementary, junior and senior high schools ;
the City Ditch ; the railroad which bisects the western portion of the
City; and oth er unavoidable topographic featur s such as Little Dry
Cre k and the Platte River. The results in many cases are that a
particular street remains at a given lev 1 of service because there are
f w, i f any, alternatives.
At pr s nt, the Englewood street system , with the exception of som of
th newer subdivisions, follows a rectangular or gridiron pattern .
This patt rn is compatible with the surrounding communi ies both 1n the
l v 1 of service and in th alignment of streets. Of prim 1mportance ,
when c onsid ring fut ur zoning, land use patt rns, parking facilities ,
n e ighborhood redeve lopm ent programs, and oth r factors which influenc
str t location is th continued continuity of Englewood 's str et pat-
tern with that of the surrounding area. This is not to say, how ver ,
that new patt rns could not be designed and integrated into th s-
tablished system.

l t is r ecog n1z ed t ha t changes in land us e , changes in zoning , the intro-
duction of commercia l development mixed with residential land uses , and
a n ew c oncept in planning would te nd to change the c harac te risti c s of
the present traffic f low .
Like t h e oth er aspects o f long-range planning , traffic and transportation
should not b e consid ered a static or "o ne-s h o t " item. The Mast er Street
Plan must b e subject to periodic review , and effort directed toward
co n t inu e d coordination with the Denv e r Regional Council of Governments .
Continillli re vi ew and r ev ision of eve n the most elaborate and expensive
plans are mandatory to meet the changing demands of a growing community.
This is the one kind of planning which no community can afford to d o
without. Its abs e nc e l ea ds to gross waste , which is often accomplished
wit h all the confidence of ignor anc e .
The recommendations made in this plan have been limited , to a degree ,
to me asures that would not require acquisition of additional right-of-
way . Nevertheless , should future traffic requirements necessitate
e ither additional lan es or a parallel facility , additional property
would b e nee d e d . Another matter t hat is of prime importance to the
est ablishme n t of a compr e h nsive traffic plan , i s the provision for
access to and within th areas that are not now developed. There ar e
several rather large areas withi n the City which up to this time hav e
been either undeveloped or und er-d e veloped , but which , b ec ause of the
s carcity of land and increasea-activity in the south metropolitan area ,
are now being considered for new construction. Within these areas it
wi ll b e n cessary for streets to be dedicated , but because the location
and extent of th right-of-way necessary for these streets will d e p e nd
upon t h e v e ntual d e v e lopme nt of the land , no effort is b~in g mad e at
thi s time t o pr e d ete rmin~ in this Plan, the final traffic patter n . These
tracts are indicated on the accompanying maps as areas of "prospective
development" within which right-of-way will be required to serve any
future uses.
To provide for streets in new areas, it is n ecessary for t h e Ci ty to
solicit the c ooperation and participation o f the property own er in
dedicating right-of-way for the street or s treets which wil l prov1de
acces s to that owner 's us e . The wi d t h of the right-of-way must con-,
form to pre-estab lishe d standards and the location must tie i n with the
e xisting street pattern. The Comprehensive Zoning Ordinanc~ and the
Subd1vision Regulations ar the tools throug h which this ac t ion tak s
plac e .
Fiv of these areas are located in the industrial zo n e d istrict and the
sixth is in east Englewood, the site of the former KLZ radio tr ansm itter
towers , which land is zoned for multi-famil y residen 1al units.
It is to the advantage of the property owner to provide this right-of-
way to ac commodate either his own busin e ss , or h is lessee, or his te nan t ,

his customers, or his employees. Without proper access , these areas
will not develop to their potential, but will continue to lie idle or in a substandard state.
It is the opinion of the City that the burden of providing this access
to individual uses cannot and should not be borne solely by the public
at large, but that the property owner should share in this program by
contributing the right-of-way which will primarily be of benefit to the
persona using his property. Without their cooperation it would be moat
difficult, if not impossible, for our street system to be developed.
Comprehensive, long-range planning can lead to many advantages which
naturally ensue as a result of research, analysis, logical thinking,
and a practical conaideration of the future. The accompanying map ia
designed to summarize the specific propoaals stated in the Ma•ter Street
Plan. It should be recognized and accepted that the plan outlined nere-~ill be flexible and subject to reviaion a• unforaeen contingencies
arise. If properly executed, this plan provides a baaic tool for im-
plementation of a transportation syatem to adequately aervice Englewood's present and future development needa.

CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT
The Ce ntral Business District acts as an impetus for contemporary com-
munity growth. It attracts the facilities that serve the city as a
whole and those that require close interpersonal contact. The basis
of t h e core area is diversified retail business , department stores, and
spe ci alty shops . The other major features are the closely interrelated
network of business services characteristic of the central area of a
modern city: the headquarters of corporations, financial institutions,
public administration , and the professionals who serve them. Also
grouped in the central area are various supporting establishments pro-
viding for entertainment and offering services such as theaters, res-
taurants , clinics and hotels .
While de fining what the CBD should be however, one of the most important
elements is invariably left out--PEOPLE . Without housing either coor-
dinated directly into or integrated around the core, the land use remains
in service only until 5:00 P . M. Then , it follows the traditional
Ame ric an "Metro-ghost town" pattern--stagnating and disfunctional. Be-
cause of the proximity to the job market and public transportation, it
is suggested that low-income housing be provided within and adjacent to
the CBD , and that hi-rise apartments or condominiums be considered.
During the 1940 's the eyes of businessmen across the nation began to
foc us on Englewood , with reports that the one block stretch along South
Broadway had more retail sales than any single block in the nation. In
1951 , the City ranked number one as having the best economic potential.
However, in the late 1950 's , several studies were prepared for the City
by private consultants because of new competition from downtown Denver
and various shopping centers, either already built or being planned in
the sou t h metro area. It was recommended 'that for the CBD to remain
competitive , it must make an effort to attract a greater variety of
services and merchandise, and include in the development at least one
maJOr department store. It was also suggested that, if an adequate
amount of land could not be assembled for this new development , that
consi deration b e given to a location on the land which at that time
wa s being used as a city park , and whic h was adjacent and to the west
of the Core Area . In 1964 , an election was held , and the voters cboae
to s ll tne park and zone it for commerci al development .• Now , in the
late 1960 's , thos e early forecasts of promise are beginning to show
themse lves .
•The park rep lac eme n t program is set forth in the Park and Recreation
Section of this Plan .

The new shopping complex, Cinderella City , IS now located on the former
park site after having opened i n Ma r ch of 1968 . Publicity states that
the 1 ,800 ,000 square feet of re t ail floor area qualifies this complex
for the title of the world 's larges t enclosed-mall shopping center , and
it is attracting people from no t onl y the ent ire Denver metropolitan
area, but from the entire region .
The proximity of Cinderella City wi t h several major department stores--
the Denver Dry Goods Company , J . C . Penney 's , J oslins and Neusteters
and many fine specialty shops--t o t he CBD with complementary shops and
offices , offers a possibility with planning , coordination and cooperation
on the part of all of those persons with an interest in the development
of the City--whether property owners, businessmen , professional men or
City officials , to develop a total business environment . Unless this
effort is made now, Cinderella could turn into a Dr . Jeckel and Mr. Hyde,
prov•.ding a delightful , convenient shopping atmosphere for the public,
but presenting a great challenge to the City's original established
central business district.
The downtown shopping area (between South Bannock Street and South
Lincoln Street) now has the task of reevaluating itself in r esponse to
the demand for a TOTAL shopping environment. Attempts on the part of
the Broadway area merchant and property owner either to ignore the
businesses in Cinderella City with their large selection of merchandise
in a new, attractive atmosphere , or to enter into direct competition
with the center , will yield less than maximum success and profits, at
best. An efficient network of complementary business , retail and pro-
fessional uses, coupled with adequate auto and pedestrian facilities
must logically be the goal for all . Included within this program are
three areas of general concern:
(1) The acquisition of additional off-street parking space in
the area between South Bannock Street and South Sherman Street
and between East Floyd Avenue and East Hampden Avenue.
(2) The development of Little Dry Creek , which flows north-
westerly through the southern portion of the CBD, into what
potentially could be one of the City 's most a t tractive landmarks .
The Creek now flows erratically through a ribbon of trash , muck ,
and weeds.
(3) The most vital aspec t o f the progr am : t he acceptanc e by t he
CBD property o wners and me r c hant s o f the need for no t onl y re-
modeling the existing buildings and p r ov i ding a broader selection
of goods , but also considering a comple t e renovation o f t he older
business area--a NEW DESIGN conc eption i nc luding a c o hesive
visual appearance , more liberal land use comb i nations , convenient
customer parking , and an efficient t ra f f i c program .
Obviously the design and working aspects of t hese projects remains a
f unction of the concerned property owners , merchants and private enter-
prise. However, the City government also has an obligation to work with
these parties, in whatever way possible , and can do much to c o o rdinate

their program, to stimulate community interest 1n the redevelopment ,
and to provide incentive in this ambitious project .
Onl y with this combination of effort can the n e eds of the Englewood
residents and the more than 300,000 persons within Englewood 's retail
"drawing area " be efficie n tly satisfied . If done effectively--if done
now--it is estimated that the City will again rank fourth or better in
the state's retail sales, giving further credanc e to our desired image
of PROGRESS COUNTRY, U.S.A.

BIBLIOGRAPHY
The Englewood Comprehensive Plan presents a synopsis of major features
in the City today , along with an illustrative glimpse at Englewood
tomorrow. It intends, by no means, to endeavor to present an all-
inclusive document guiding the community's future d eve lopment .
The intensive, detailed surveys and studies which ar e the basis for
any Comprehensiv e Master Plan require such a quantity of text that an
attempt to consolidate all the necessary supporting materials produces
a volume too detailed and technical for general use .
The accompanying bibliography also lists references to the specific
ordinances which ar e the basis for this Plan .

Resignation
July 17, 1969
When I was first appointed City Attorney in April, 1965,
the position was one which called for only a "part time"
effort and I accepted the position with the clear understand-
ing that I would not be giving up my private practice. I in-
formed the then Council that I estimated that I would be spend-
ing approximately fifty per cent of my time engaged in City
business.
Since that time, the responsibilities of the City's le-
gal department has increased considerably. Indeed, the work
of the City Attorney, and of his assistants, has increased
to the point that, even with an assistant working nearly full
time for the City, it has been impossible for me to adequately
attend to the City's business and to engage in a private law
practice at the same time. As a result, while I have hesitated
to make the decision 1 since I have thoroughly enjoyed the work
of the City Attorney s job, it has become increasingly evident
that it is necessary for me to resign from this position if I
desire to maintain a private practice.
For this r eason , I s h ould like to be relieved of my re-
s ponsibi l ities as Ci t y Attorney a s soon as conveniently pos-
s ible, bu t, i n n o e v ent, later t han November 1 , 1969 --a
per i od of approx i ma tely one hundred days from now .
I recognize t hat i t ma y take some time f or Council to
select a successor and f or the attorney thus selected to be-
come fam H iar with the pending work of the office. I would
be most happy to cooperate in any manner with my successor to
make the transition as smooth as possible. Indeed, there may
be certain matters which might be moat expeditiously handled by
me, rather than attempting to have a new attorney become familiar
with them. I would be happy to continue to handle these matters I

on a mutually agreeable basis, but,' based upon my own past
experience, I would suggest that any decision as to whether
I should do so or not should be left for the sole determina-
tion of the new City Attorney.
In this regard, I have been authorized to state that my
present assistant, Mr. Edward Donovan, has indicated that he
would be willing to resign from his position or to continue
with this work, at Council's pleasure. However, in view of
the fact that any Assistant City Attorney must, of necessity
work closely with the City Attorney, I would suggest that this
decision also be left, to some considerable degree, solely
within the hands of the newly selected City Attorney.
As a final note, let me say that I shall always view the
past four and one half years as one of the richest periods of
my life. Very few people, I think, have the opportunity to
take a direct part in programs designed exclusively to bene-
fit people as a whole. As City Attorney for the City of Engle-
wood, however, I firmly believe that I was a 'part (although my
personal contribution may have been a small one) of a group of
people who initiated programs, the results of which show that
this City justly deserves the title, "Progress Country , U.S.A ."
I appreciate this opportunity and shall recall, with on l y the
fondest of memories, the persons, whether members of Council
or of the administration, with whom I was privileged to work
during this period.

H. An adult shall pay 5¢ for a transfer on all routes where

I . The charge for the shopp1ng pass sold for use 1n the down-
town area will be Increased from 30¢ to 35¢
In support of its application, Tramway wi tnesses 1ntroduced
exhibits showing a continuing decline of passenger use, beg1nn1ng with
1947 continuing through 1968 . It was also shown that operating m1les
had declined during this same period of time, although not as rapidly as
has the number of passengers carr1ed Of more spec1f1c 1n erest was
page 9 of Applicant's Exhibit 2, which page was a comparison of total
operating expenses with total operating revenue For the f1rst 4 months
of 1969 operating expenses were very sl1ghtly above the operating revenue
However, in May of 1969, the total operat1ng e~penses exceeded the total
operating revenue by some $36,000 . Applicant 's w1tnesses stated that this
was primarily due to increased labor cost brought about by a new contract
with the union employees which went into effect on May 1, 1969 That
contract provided for an immed ate 20¢ an hour Increase and subsequent
increases of 10¢ per hour on November 1, 1969; on May 1, 1970; and on
November 1, 1970 Additionally, the new un1on contrac t prov1des for
incremental i ncreases keyed to the cost of l1v1ng 1ndex
Page 23 of Applicant 's Exhib1t 2 was an esti mate of ope r at1ons
under present and proposed rates for the fiscal yeaf beg1nn 1ng J uly 1,
1969 These estimates Indicated that cont1nuat1on of present fares would
result in a loss to Tramway of $426,000 from operatiOns before 1nclus1on
of non-operating income and the prov1s1on for 1n come taxes Un der pro-
posed fares, the i ncome from operat1ons was estimated to be $26,000
plus non-operating income of $132,000 or net income of $78,000 after
income taxes . These f1gures would indicate that the fare 1ncreases re-
quested in this application w1ll not prov1de an adequate retu rn on
Investment for the Appli cant, but w1l l put Appl1cant 1n a pos1t1ve
earnings position.

Applicant's witnesses test1f1ed that they have for some t 1me
been negotiating with the City and County of Denver on a lease basts,
the benefit of which would be to reduce taxes to Tramway Corpo ra t1on
by approximately $263,000 per year Such leas i ng arrangement would
contemplate the ultimate acquisition of the Denver Tr amw ay Corporat1on
by the City and County of Denver Tramwa y wltnesses 1n di cated that
negotiations with the City and County of Denver wou ld cont1nue wheth er
or not the requested increase is granted by thls Comm1ssion
At the hearing a number of publtc w1tnesses appeared and were
heard . Witho ut exception these publ1c witnesses were oppose d to
the increase proposed by Appl1cant However , lt sh ould be note d that 1n
most cases the ob jections amounted to a p lea for r e11ef by people tn
special categories . This Commission recogn1zes that the bus transporta-
tion is especially important to people 1n lower 1ncome brackets who are
unable to afford private transportation ~hi1e 1t m1ght be de sirable tn
some respects to dist1nguish between 1ncome levels 1n determ1n1ng ran s -
portation fares, it would be totally imposs1ble and 1mpract t cal for
this Commission to attempt to make any such dist1nct1on between the
classes , Such an attempt would surely be discrl mtnator y
In addition to the fare i ncreases proposed by Tramway, 1t 1s
proposed by Applicant that Route 31 be discont1nued Th1 s route 1s a
shuttle service between Westminster and the No 6 Bus 1n North Denver
The testimony at the hearing indicated that the passenge r use of this
run was so small as to not warrant the cont1n uance of this route
