Mr. McKean stated that Liberty Day is a national celebration of the Declaration of Independence and the
Constitution of the United States. It was officially established by Congress, by joint resolution of the
House of Representatives and the Senate, in October of 2000. What we are here to do today, be said, is to
see if the Mayor would iss a proclamation for Liberty Day in Englewood and if the City Council would
issue a resolution endorsing Liberty Day. Abo, be said, 1 am going to ult each one of you if you would
volunteer at least one hour of your time to go into a clasa here in Englewood, or anywhere you want, to go
into the middle schools and high school and talk to the young people to give them kind of a Civics IO I
lesson. We have these Liberty Day boob, which I lhink you each got a copy of, that contain the
Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. What I would like for you all to do, be uid, u part of
your support for Liberty Day, is to talk to our kids, and you CID go any time of the year you want. We CID
arrange it with the teachen for you to go into the schools and you CID explain what are the three branches
of government, why did our founding fathers establish a government with three branches, what are the
checks and balances in our 1yatcm of government, and what are the Bill of Ripll. IC.ind of jUII give a basic
Civics IOI clUI to the lridl and then give them each one ofthae boob. We will 111pply tbae boob for
fiee to you to give to the IIUdentl. We allo have another program that we are doin& this year, that we jlllt
started, where we have tbae Liberty Day Irids T-ahins with the Liberty Bell OD the beck. Thia ii
appropriate for fourth, fifth and lildb padcn. Jill Mack, a Litdetoa Public School leacher, came up with
this idea this year. She uid look, what I think would be really fun for tbae kids ii to lllldy theae boob
with their parentl and u a borne work assignment ult the childrm to each come up with ten qualiom
about the Constitution. Put their question on a three by five card, put the amwer OD the back, with the page
from the book where the answer is found. Then go to the POii Office and all of the people, who are waiting
in line at the Post Office to mail their mail, jUlt go up and down the line and just quiz the adults. What are
the five rights in the First~ what are thec41uatifications Ill be Preaideal of the Uniled Stlllel,
what is the Fifth Amendment, bow many rigllll are cblft, what are they? The idea ii dlll the Irids would
research these through the docurnentl with their parentl and come up with tbeae quatiom. Mr. McKean
said it is abaolutely fantastic and we are going to do IOrnethin& like it in EDaJewood. I am a member of the
Lions Club of Denver and this is bein& coordimled dnup lCIVice poupa. 1 am allo ID Optimill, he uid.
Jim Bates of Liberty Savinp Bank, hal been appoinled by the Lioal Club of EnaJewoocl to he the
coordinator for Liberty Day and in each community in Colorado and in America, all fifty ltala, we are
trying to get a local service club member to do this. A aervice club member is non-political. Our Lioal
Club motto is "We Serve" and, by our bylaWI, we can't be political . So if you agree to IUpporl this, be
said, I want, if it is at all possible, for you to also agree to speak to a clasa ofstudelltl and to actively
participate in the Liberty Day program. We don't have any curriculum, it ii up to you. in collaboration
with the teacher. What we like is to have the elected officials talk to the tachen and apllin what you are
doing as a City Council member, what you would like to talk about relative to the founding documenll and
kind of work together on a lesson plan. We found that to be really, really fun for the teacher, becaue they
get a chance to talk to the elected official and brainstorm and come up with IOIDe really good ideal. So that
is basically what Liberty Day is . He ulted if Council had any questions . I don't wan1 to take up too nu:h
of your time, he said, because I know you have a busy agenda.
Mayor Bradshaw asked if Council had any quelliom for Mr. McKean. There were-·
Mayor Bradshaw advised Mr . McKean that Council regularly goes into the schooil. We 10 amually, Ille
said, and we could just incorporate IOIIIC of thi1 into what we do anyway.
Mr. McKean said if you could and, I don'1 know if there is IOIIIC feedback each oCyou could give me .
Inside the book is our phone number or you could contacl Jim Bala and he CID work with you to scbedule
you . You can schedule your own time if you want, you don't lave to have an OUISide per.-do i,
Mayor Bradshaw said we can incorporate that when we go to visit the middle scboola.

Mr . McKean said absolutely and it would even be good in the high school, became I think a lot of the high
school kids would like to meet with you as well .
Mayor Bradshaw said okay. She thanked Mr. McKean.
Mr . McKean thanked Council for allowing him to speak. I appreciate it, be said.
7. Unscheduled Vlllton
(a) T. W. Andenon uid be appeared before Council previously about the concerns regarding
Centennial Airport, about the probleml we bad bec:aule the FAA bad cut off' our funds. Al you know, I
started the airport for the Commiuionen in the '60'1, I was Chairman for ten years and they put me on the
Finance Committee. We bad five meetings and we came up with the aolution ofuking the cities to
contribute a little bit to the airport teq,onrily and alao ellablilb a -third mill levy for the County. The
good news is we've bad additional income, be said. We aold aloe more fuel and -ue worma with the
members of Congress and they an: going to restore the funda to III from FAA. So I diougbl I would report
that to you . Another factor, be said, as I mentioned to Mayor Bradlbaw, ii lbat we are buildina a 192 unit
assisted living building in AID'Ol'l at 13* and Peoria, two blocks aoutb ofFi1zlimmnnl, and we would like
to be able to do one in Englewood for you sometime . So, Mr. Anderaon said, we will talk to the proper
people about it. He thanked Council.
Mayor Bradshaw thanked Mr. Anderson.
(b) Ray TODIISIO uid tonight, after Study Seuion, after lookina at the fipra and tbe way
thing& were running I thought about making an ofl'er on the bollle. 1be demolition coata are 134,000.00
and you have 188,000.00 in insurance refund, wbicb ii 1122,000.00. l will ofl'er you 113,000.00 for tbe
house and the property, be said. This would uve you any ellpCIIIC in your budget this )'ell', you wouldn't
have the outlay of any money. There ii allo the poaibility !bat I could pt the S14,000.00 pant fiom the
State and, if they could transfer the grant, there wouldn't be a budaet item for any oftbat So, be said, I
would like for you to consider that.
Mayor Bradshaw said the offer ii $13,000.00 for our investinent ofS160,000.00.
Mr. Tomasso said your investment was $135,260.00. That waa the tint figure. Your additional COit, if you
tear the house down, is $34,000.00 and you have 188,000.00 for insurance. That brinp it up to
$122,000.00 of the Sl35,000.00 that you paid for it and 113,000.00 would put you at SIJS,000.00. Mayor
Bradshaw noted Council has that memo. Mr. Tomasso said yes, ao that is where it ii at and ifl can pt the
grant transferred then you save that S 14,000.00 that you don't have to pay back. So that ii a poaibility.
Council Member Yurchick asked Mr . Tomasso if be has the funda to fix up the boUle or at least llabilize it.
Mr . Tomasso said I believe I could. It ii DOI that difficult to stabilize it. lt'a just a imtter of diuina aloe of
little holes and pouring a lot of little concrete pylons until you 1et the pylons completed. You can do it
very low tech as opposed to jacking the house up and doina it massively and roofs an: easy. Mold can be
taken can: of with chloride. Having a paper studio I water my mold weekly. Every once in a wbilc l have
to kill it. Mike Flaherty asked me to submit this in writina, ao 1 will do that.
Mayor Bradshaw thanked Mr . Tomasso .
Mr. Tomasso thanked Council .
(c) Mark Rodman, Executive Director of Colorado Preservation Inc., adviled !bat be ii fiom
North Carolina. 1 worked with preservation in NOl1h Carolina, be said, and we did a lot of won wi1b

historic properties, properties that everybody said nothing could be done with, they need to be demolished,
there is no way to do it. What you try to do with those properties is you try to figure out hu w to bring them
into something that will sell on the market, something thlt people CUI deal with. You have one offer here,
be said, and I think that is a good offer. The alternative also, to that, is that you have already put so much
money into this house. If you take the insurance money you have and you take the money that you have
with the rest of the grant and finish the 1tabilization, that pull tbiJ project in a ballparlt where it ii like
$220,000.00 to finish the rest of the rehabilitation, which will take that property and makc it ucful for a
residence or a business . I know you have put a lot of money into tbiJ and you wonder bow you CUI recover
your costs . I don't know that I can offer you, directly, a way to recover your cost, but if you do the
stabilization with the funds that you already have then you can take that property and &ive it to a non-profit,
which can give it to somebody else who can finish the rehabilitation and put it back on the marbt to a for-
profit group that CUI in tum bring tax revenue back to the City. Anolbcr option, be said, ii that I have
worked with groups that have taken these propenies, they do the atabilization and then lcue it to a group
for say fifteen or twenty years . Their COit ii to rehab it and they let them have it for a dollar a year from
then on. Well, then in fifteen or twenty years you have a Dice property that they have upgraded and taken
care of, at no COit to you, that you CUI do with what you will al that point. So, Mr. Rodman said, I think
these arc a couple of options that haven't been comidered and Colorado Preaervation Inc. would like
further time to wort with the Council and the lllafl' to come up with these optiona. He thanked Council.
( d) Eugene Noman said I have tbiJ idea that ifl can get a committee or IOllldhina together
wbcrc I could explain what could be done, you would be able to incrcac your amount of water and the
problema that you DOW have would siq,ly go away . I would need a blackboard, be said, so that I could
draw the schematics of what I am trying to prcaenl. It would be excellcnt for Colorado, all along the Front
Range of Colorado, and all the way down into New Mexico. I feel it ii m exccllenl idea, be uid, but I
don't really have the time to present it DOW. He ukecl ifit would be possible to set up llOllle kind ofan
appointment with two or three people so be could dilcuu the entire idea.
Mayor Bradshaw ukecl Council bow they wanted to handle tbil. It w delermincd that tbiJ aboald IO to
Water and Sewer Board. Mayor Brad ,haw referred Mr. NOlllllll to Director Fonda.
City Manager Sean advised Mr. Norman that Director Fonda could take him to an upcoming Water and
Sewer Board ~I·

public hearing was published on August 9, 2002 in the Englewood Herald and Certification of Posting is
forthcoming from Galloway, Romero & Associates . The application is from Safeway, Inc., represented
tonight by Galloway , Romero & Associates . Ms. Langon explained that the request is lO rezone the
nonhwesl comer of the intersection at South Logan Street and U.S. Highway 285 from B-1 Business
Distticl to Planned Unit Development (PUD). This request is to pennit conatruction of a fueling facility as
a Permitted Use. That fueling facility would include six multiple product dispensers, which would be
twelve gas pumps, it would also include a canopy cover covering those dispensen, an attendant kiosk and
an air pump station. Also included in the request, she said, is a seasonal outdoor garden center as an
accessory use . Ms . Langon stated that the PUD process is a rezoning and it is requiml, in this particular
case, because a fueling facility is not a permitted use in the B-1 Business Disttict. As a remning, the PUD
is designed to provide flexibility for development that may not be KCOIIIDIOdated within the existing zone
distticl regulations . The PUD establishes the zoning and the Site Plan criteria and it is specific to this
development. There are two parts to the Planned Unit Development. The first is a District Plan and that
sets the regulations that governa the uses in the new zone disttict and the sec:ond part is the Site Plan and
that is the general site and development details that are specific to the project. II would include the
landscaping, elevations, structures, signage ... the various development issues. The site location is at the
nonhwesl comer of South Logan and U.S. 285 . The site is approximately 4.3 acres and the Safeway store
was built in 1983. She pointed out that the PUD does not include the shops that line the north property line
of the development. Those are under separate ownership. Just as background for the record, she said, the
preliminary proposal was submitted lo Community Development in April of 2001. The required
neighborhood pre-submittal meeting was held in June 200 I and the formal application was received in
August 200 I, al which time it was reviewed by the Development Review Team and the outside agencies,
such as COOT. Public Hearings were held by the Planning and Zoning Commission on four nigbu, May
1•, June 49 , June 189 and July 2 ... Al the July 2,,. meeting the Commission voted to recommend to City
Council approval of the Planned Unit Development with conditions. The first coodition would be that
refueling tanker truck access to the site be via U.S. 285 to South Sherman Street and that refueliq would
only occur between the hours of 11 :00 p.m and 6:00 a.m The second condition is that the outdoor guden
accessory use would be limited lo the months of April through July and would not utilize more than 20
parking spaces, as demonstrated on the proposed site plan. The third condition was a condition iq,oaed by
the Planning and Zoning Commission and that was that the shrubbery between the sidewalk and South
Logan Street on the east side of the site be of one species. They also made a sugestion as to the type of
shrubs . At the Public Hearing a number of members of the public attended and lite circulation and parlrina
were the key issues. I would like to go over a few issues that Community Development and other
departments have identified, she said . The key issue tonight is this use and the appropriate use for this site.
That is what the rezoning is all about. The proposal is for the buic B-1 Zone Dislrict replationa to remain
in effect with the addition of two uses . The fueling facility as a permitted use and the outdoor guden
center as an accessory use . Currently there are ten fueling facilities (gas stations) within a one mile radius
of the site . She noted there was a map attached to the staff report. Of those ten, two are in B-1, the same
zone district of the current site , and they are grandfathered D01Konforming uses . There are seven within
the B-2 District and those are conditional uses, they are conditionally allowed in B-2 . There is one in the I-
I District and that is a permitted use . Fueling facilities are not permitted in B-1, but they are permitted as a
conditional use if they meet conditions within the B-2 District. The PUD does meet those conditioaal use
requirements if it were in a B-2 Disttict. Parking was a secondary issue . The required number of parkin&
spaces totaled 231 spaces . The Safeway store itself requires I 57 spaces, the garden center use requires 20
spaces and there is an agreement with the libops to the north for 54 parkina lf*CI. 11lole 54 pukina
spaces would remain. However, the configuration of the parkin& layout is llipdy cbanpd. Ms. L1Dpn
advised that the PUD is proposing 239 spaces, so it does meet the parkina ~ Acceu is cenainly
a key issue because of the tanker trucks coming in . There ue four access poillll. A concern would be the
one at South Logan and that entrance is actually beina proposed to be widened to allow left and ripl tuna
egresses from the site. The tratftc engineer bu recommended that the refuelina lallker lnlCb nter the'*
from U.S. 285 to South Sherman Street. Usina that method requires all ripl band tun11 for the trucb and
ii also eliminates the use of the South Logan Street entrance and the other~ ti.a wwl(I creale a
tighter turning radius for the trucks . Again, the Planning and Zonina Commiuioa act tbe cODdilioa dlat

refueling must be done between 11 :00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. and that was designed to mitigate circulation and
traffic conflicts during the day . Fueling was also considered by the Fire Division and the Utility
Department and they have reviewed the plans . The Site Plan has addressed those department issues. I will
say, she said, that the State regulates requirements for fuel tanks, spill containment and emergency shut off.
Those considerations would be addressed within the building permit process. Landacaping is allo a
requirement within the PUD . There is no real significant change to the l•ndscaped area, however Safeway
proposes additional trees and shrubs to buffer both the parking and fueling facility use . The Planning and
Zoning Conunission did impose some conditions on the east side of the site regarding single use species in
the area between the sidewalk and South Logan Street. The applicant bas addressed all the Planning and
Zoning Conunission issues and, as I stated, if this were • B-2 use it would be considered before the
Planning and Zoning Conuniuion as • conditional use and it does meet all of the requirementl for that
conditional use that would address lighting, landscaping, screening and building set-backs. Stiff therefore
rcconunends approval with the two conditions, that refueling be from U.S. 285 to South Sbmmn Street to
the site •ad be limited to the hours of 11 :00 p.m. to 6:00 1.m. and that the outdoor garden cenler, the
accessory use, be permitted from April to July and utilize no more than 20 puking spaces as demonstrated
on the site plan. An additional condition in1)0sed by the Planning and Zoning Commission would be that
the shrubbery be of a single species between the sidewalk and South Logan Street. Representatives from
Galloway and Romero are here this evening representing Safeway, she said, and I will address any of
Council's questions .
Mayor Bradshaw asked if Council had any questions for Ms. Langon.
Council Member Yurchick said he would like to ask a question. lflhil doesn't work, are there any
provisions that would require them to clean up the site and not just leave • canopy and • bunch of islands
there with no gas pumps sitting on it? I mean, he said, what you -when a lot of gas ltltions go out of
business is that all you are left with is a canopy and an island sitting there. 11 there • contingency plan to
turn it back into a parking lot?
Senior Planner Langon advised that there was no contingency plan. I am sure, she said, that Council could
put that in as a condition, that after a certain amount of time, if it was not a viable operation or if the place
goes dark after a certain length of time, that it be removed.
Mayor Bradshaw asked if there were any other questions. There were none.
Mayor Bradshaw noted that the applicant would be next and tha/. there are sevcnl people signed up to
speak to Council on this issue .
John Beauparlant, a project manager for Galloway, Romero & Associates, 5350 DTC Partway, Greenwood
Village , explained that they have a really great background as a coq,rehensive planning, designing and
architectural firm . We specialize in fueling facilities and we have done a number of these for Safeway
throughout the Front Range and other western states . We were retained by Safeway back in January of
2000 and Ms . Langon presented a pretty good sununary. We have been working on this for Safeway for
about 20 months now and we first met with the City back in April of 2001. Ms . Langon told you about the
neighborhood meeting and everything that is part of the proceu for rezoning . The reason we are really
here is because of what is known as hyperrnart fueling . Mayor Bradshaw confirmed lbat Council had
received the information on hypermart fueling . Mr. Beauparlant said he wouldn't ao Ullo it iD detail, but
basically all of the grocery retailers around Denver, and nationally, are tryina ID offer yet one nae service
to their customers and the latest one is fueling . Unfortunately, he noted, this ia not tbe ume type of use and
so there are many grocery ston:1 that ate ~ra ting on property that is not zoned to permit them ID offer tbe
fuelin g option. This is the whole reason we arc here tonight The lint tbina I would like to show you is the
downtown plan, which is a very old plan. We arc in the far corner of what was oriainally enviaioned as the
downtown area . So we basically wonder if this piece, at the very far corner, actually bcloap iD tbe
do wntown atea . I'm not s ure ifit is really a part of the business district, it is nae oftbe aervice ua. Our

initial proposal actually showed eight product dispensers and our tanks were also in a different place, but
really the basic proposal is about the same. I would like to walk through all the changes, revisions,
additions and embellishments that we have gone through u we have gone through the process, both in
meeting with the City and in the many meetings with the Planning Commission. The first thing we did was
reduce the size from eight dispensers to six. Secondly, we redesigned Logan Street. We bad two
lanes ... one lane in and one lane out. We created three lanes, so we have a dedicated right turn and a
dedicated left turn egress lane and we think that will be a significant improvement in terms of traffic. The
other thing we have done is make an access for our stacking area for vehicles that want to egress the site .
He showed bow difficult it would be to get through the area, because can back up. We conferred with Mr.
Vostry, the Traffic Engineer, and we received bis support to have an area where can can stack up and not
block main drive lanes north and south. The other thing we have done in terms ofingreas, at the U.S . 285
site is, we have proposed a very different geometry than what we have right now. We have rearranged the
geometry of this access so that cars can come in at a faster speed, safer and get off of the road and turn in.
The other thing we have done is, we have completely redesigned the parlcing lot. We are proposing a
complete restriping of the parking lot with the number of parking spaces that Ms. Langon bad mentioned.
This PUD, as Ms. Langon said, does not cover the shops on the north, only the property which is, in fact,
owned by Safeway. The shops on the north are not owned by Safeway and so they are not included in this
PUD, otherwise we would have included them. We are limited, in the PUD area, to keep the total number
of signs, for the fueling, the store, plus free standing signs, to a total of ten, of no more than 400 square feet
total . That is well within the range of what the City's Code allows, be said. We have committed to the
U.S . 285/South Sherman Street tanker route and to restrict refueling to the boun of 11 :00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m.
He pointed out where the garden center would be located and stated that they will uae 20 parlcing spaces
and it will be open from April to July only. We have also redesigned the entire Logan Street frontage . He
showed what their architect had drawn showing the propolOd frontage and be noted that the shrubbery is
the result of the direction they received from the Plunina Commission. We are basically opeaina up the
entire frontage of Logan Street. Mr . Beauparlant, using bia diapaml, explained the propoaed cbangea. He
bad a photo that was taken the day they were paving South Lopn Slreet He noted it is not particularly
attractive . What we are proposing to do, be said, ia to add a bunch of honey locust trees, a bunch of shrubs
and some sod and hopefully we will have more water next year so we can do this. The other two items I
want to mention, is that we propose to add a wheelchair acceu nq, off' of South Lopn Street. He
explained the particulan of the wheelchair access . We lboupt this would be well wonb it, to add this
wheelchair access while we are doing these ocher improvemenla. As required, we will allocate a portion of
the parking lot to the shops on the north. Mr . Beauparlani showed the elevation& that bad been crated to
show what the facility would look like. We have six pumps, a small kiosk about 422 square feet with a
canopy, signage, etc . He noted there is a facility in place right now in Longmont. I believe pictures of that
facility were included in the Council packet, be said. I enclosed thole pictures because that particularly
facility in Longmont is very, very similar to this one. It is a little bit larger, but it ia set off by itself, it is
part of the parking lot, but it is separate from the center. It is a Safeway Center, so it is not just a Safeway
store. We did a compuler simulation, with the new facility at this particular location. He gave the City
Clerk a copy of the computer simulation for the record. I would like to pass it on to Council, be uid, as it
shows the s1gh1 lines and I think tha t is very important to the people that run The Sbopl al Hampden and
Logan. He gave Council a copy to pa s around . With that I would like to 10 into the meat and potatoes
issues of rezoning . As Ms . Langon sai • right now the 8-1 zone district doesn't permit fueling facilities ,
the 8-2 zone district permits it as a conditional use and it is allowed in the induatriaJ zone districts .
However, most people don 'I want to drive to the industrial zone diatricta to fuel their car, they would ralber
do ii closer to home where they can combine trips with ocher thina•· This is a aeneraJ four put rezonina,
not for PUD. but general rezoning criteria and basically the issues to promote health, safety and welfare are
consis1en1 with the Comprehensive Plan. Has there been a material change in the chlnc:ter of tbe
neighborhood '/ The fourth one is that the property cannot be developed for tbia pll1icular 111e. Thia ia tbe
way we are looking at it. It can't be in a 8-1 zone dillrict so it bu to be rezoned ID allow for this 111d we

feel this is and staff has agreed that it is . All the required documents, refmals, etc. have taken place over
the last year and a half with the City . Is the PUD District Plan consistent with the adopted and. generally
accepted standards of development in the City? We feel that it is . It is a high quality facility, using high
quality materials and it is very modern . As Ms . Langon mentioned, the State Oil and Gas is the safety net,
if you will , for the fueling facilities . We work with them all the time . We design top quality facilities . Is
the PUD District Plan substantially consistent with all of the goals and objectives, etc. of the City? I feel
that this would be and staff has agreed in their report that they feel this meets the objectives of the City .
The specific Site Plan itself then has to be in compliance with the District Plan . When we were pulling this
together we made sure that that happened. We had all the documents and the referrals, etc . have taken
place and it is generally consistent with the goals and objectives. We feel we meet all of the criteria. What
I would like to do is just concentrate if I could, for a few minutes, on these three main areas. There are
some other folks who would like to speak u well and then we can always anawer questiom. One of the
items that is very important is the parking. There is an easement, which bu been there since 1986 and it is
between Safeway and Stephen Wickliff; who was the predecessor in interest to Perry Becky who represents
Bonbeck HL LLC . We have worked with him and looked at this puking euement, both the existing and
proposed. He showed them a diagram of exactly what the easement loob like today. What we are
proposing is essentially the same easement, the same number of spaces. 54, just a little bit different
configuration. We now have 23 spaces up along those shops, inatead of the 20 that exist today, because the
spaces right now are oversized. I think the other item that is •rtant is the diatance that the average
customer to the shops, will have to travel. The average distance right now, for all the spaces, is 95.6 feet,
but buically within 50 feet there are eight spaces and within 80 feet there are I 5 spaces. Over towards the
liquor store and sub shop area there are 16 spaces . That is the way it is currently configured. Under the
proposed plan it is buically the same thing. The average space for all 54 spaces is I 04 feet and again,
within 80 feet there are I 5 spaces. So we feel we are replicating existing puking euement to the
maximum possible extent. The other thing we have done, and I would like to enter it into the record, if we
could, is we have a Parking Audit, which wu done over three days back in 2001 and, apparently, Safeway
does this on a reaular buis. What we have done is at varioua times of the day it sbowa the apota that are
filled and the spots that are not filled throughout the day. What we believe from this is that there are a lot
of empty spots up there and I think most people who drive by there know that there is a lot of excess
parking at that lot and that is why we feel we have plenty of room to build this facility. Mr. Beauparlant
presented a copy of the Parking Lot Audit to the City Clerk to be entered into the record. The second item
that Ms . Langon identified u being very ~tis acceas and circulation. We have already mentioned
the Logan Street access and the U.S. 285 access. He pointed out the area where they feel they have
improved the stacking and egress . We have also put crouwalks in and we are goin& to add a lot of stop
signs . Using his diagram he showed where they want to put the crouwalb and atop aigns. He identified
the areas where they will improve the egress and access. What we have really done ii separate the fueling
use from the customer parking use . The only time this is going to have any traffic in it is two or three times
a week in off hours , the tanker truck is going to come in. So, for the IDOi! part it will have no impact
whatsoever on this site . We also show here the new proposed wheelchair raq,. Thia is a circulation plan
and it is included in the packet. Finally, what I would like to talk about is the landscaping. We are not
really proposing a lot of new landscaping. In 1986 the area, that wu the pcenway, wudedicated by
Safeway to the City. There bu been an allowance to use up to 50% of your tolal landac:aping bein& off1ite,
so we are able to recapture the impact of that. What we an: doin& with this particular proposal is we are
adding an awful lot of landscaping . We are adding 18 new trees and we are goina to have to take 4 anall
trees out of the parking lot. A lot of those parking lot islands doa 't really have any lanchc:apilla in them at
all , so we will be making sure that all of the parking lot ialanda have landacapina. So we have a eocal of 14
new trees and 236 new shrubs . The vut majority of the shrubs will be on South Lopn Sttcet. So we feel
that this is a positive addition to this core area and it is takina space that, ript now, is nothin& but unused
parking areas and we are putting a productive use to it. The other thina we would have, durin& the boon
that the store is operating, is an attendant at the kiosk and right now there aren't very many eyes in that area
in terms of customer safety or what have you, so we will have an extra set of eyes there in the form of a
kiosk attendant for most of the day . That is about all I have to say, be said, bul I will rapoad to quealiona .
We have a few other folks that would hke to speak . Mr . Dan Clayton is witb Safeway'• real awe p,up

that deals with fueling facilities, we also have Mr. Perry Becky here representing The Shops at Ha~
and Logan and Mr. Nate Stevens is the store manager. They would like to address Council if possible.
Mayor Bradshaw said sure . We will let them finish the presentation and then we will open it up for
questions if that is okay.
Dan Clayton, Real Estate Manager with Safeway, 6900 South Yosemite in Englewood, said that Mr.
Beauparlant has spent quite a bit of time talking about the technical aspects of the application before you
and I will focus my comments on the marketing and operational aspects. Safeway, in the Denver division,
has now had gas stations operating for about a~ and eight rmnths. We have found our fueling program
to be a very positive addition to our offering to the Safeway customer, he said. We have found that it bu
been ~t, and increasingly ~t, for several reasons. Finl of all, &om a ~live standpoint,
as we are receiving competition &om other retailers. Direct competitors such as King Soopers and
Albertsons now have a fuel offering. Also, some indirect competitors such as Costco and Wal-Man are
offering fuel . So in an effort to remain competitive, he said, it becomes increasingly ~rtant that, where
we can, we try and make this addition u a one-stop shopping concept offering to our cuatomera. In the
interest of remaining competitive, thia proposed fuel station is the first of what we hope will be a couple of
phases of investment in that shopping center. To be honest, he said, the center today is a little bit tired and
really needs some sprucing up . So our hope is, with the addition of the fuel station, and ifthinp propess
as we hope and it goes well, we would like to come back to you over the course of the next couple of~
and propose a second phase, which will be a remodel to the grocery store. So we have kind of a long-term
plan for that center to upgrade it and it does need it. The second reason that we found our fueling program
to be increasingly important is that we recogni7.e that it fosters loyalty. By offering ditcounts to the fueling
customer, by use of their Safeway Club Cud, it bu really fostered loyalty and repeal buainesa. We
generally offer a competitive price to a customer off the stn,et, but then we offer an additional clilcount to a
customer who has a Safeway Club Cud, in the form of a three to five CCIII ditcount. And that really does
help a peat deal in terms of aeneratina repeat busineu. Thint, it drives ules inside the grncery nn and
that is really what it is all about. We have had very positive experieDcel in terml oftakina pocery stores,
that have had a declining trend in terms of grocery store aales, and in the recent put where we have added
these into our parking lot, not only have we turned around what was a neptive trend, but in IIOIDe c:uea,
increased sales inside the grocery store. With that in mind, where we have found it bu helped us in our
grocery store, as the anchor of a center, we have been offered some U1110licited commenrs by other leDaDIS
in the adjacent shop space, that they are seeing an increase in their buainell. So it heipl. DOI only the
anchor, but the center as a whole. Longmont is an euq,le that has been used, as a recent analogue to Ibis
type of application. Lastly, I would just like to share with you some of our due diligence that we do,
internally at Safeway, when ~e submit to our Real Estate Committee and ask them to fund a project for a
fuel station . Mr . Clayton explained that we contract with an independent third pany to do a market study
and that market study takes a look at what we are proposing in the way of layout, what the impacts are to
parking , what the visibility is to our grocery store, what the competition is and bow they are priced. That
market study is the basis under which we propose to our Real Estate Committee to fund the project. In
addition to that, we look very closely at visibility to the store and we do a parking lot study, which has been
entered into the record this evening . In this case, our Real Estate Committee was comfortable making a
recommendation to make a significant investment in a fuel facility for this location. Some may maintain
that we don't need another gas station, but our market study, which was done by an independent third pany,
indicated that there is a need for it. Mr . Clayton said I have indicated to )'OU IIOIDe of the ~tive
reasons that we find it i~t and on that basis Safeway is prepared to take the financial rillt that there is
in fact a need for a gas station . He thanked Council.
Mayor Bradshaw thanked Mr . Clayton.
Perry Becky, 7844 South Maanolia, Enalewood, said I am the manaaina member for Boabect HL LLC,
which is the entity that 0•111 the shops that you heard about, which are adjacenr to the propoaed lilelin&
facility . As Mr . Beauparlant stated, we have an easement aareement with Safeway, which includes, amooa

other considerations, that Safeway will provide us with a certain number of puking spaces for our tenants
and for our tenant's customers. We've discussed the initial easement and the puking concern1 with
Safeway, on a couple of occasions, Mr . Becky advised, and these concerns were addressed and resolved to
our satisfaction. Actually, our total parking spaces have been preserved and our access is going to be
enhanced by this project. He noted that our tenants rely upon the trafllc that Safeway provides for them.
That is why they sign leases with us. Obviously, the gas facility will draw more customen for the tenants
and their sales will increase. You've beard Mr. Clayton explain that repeat Cllltomen are their number one
priority for building the gas facility and I believe our tenants will derive this benefit as well . We also want
to be part ofSafeway's long-term plans. We don't want to be 1ittina there, byounelves, in ten years. We
would like to continue this partnership with Safeway. We are in favor of the gas facility, he said. It is a
positive addition to the shopping center. The bottom line ia, after speaking with all the tenml:I, penonally,
all but a couple are definitely in agreement and want to see it happen. That ii all I have for you. he said.
Mayor Bndshaw thanked Mr. Becky.
Dave Lawrence Aid I own the Subcenter, a shop to the north. He held up a handout entitled M~ of the
Safeway Gas Station" and asked if Council bad received a copy of it. Council indicated they bad not. Mr.
Lawrence said he prinled nine of these for the Pluming and Zoning Commiasioa. He pointed out that you
all got material for the Olber side, but no material from the oppoaitioo. It might he a good deal for
everybody else, he said, but he pointed out the parking spaces that are being eliminated. So basically, he
said, they are eliminating 24 spaces right, directly, in front of my store. So, he stated, I am the one that ii
affected by this more than anyone else. That is my main problem with it. I don't really tbinlt they need a
gas station. They said there is co~tion from Albertsons and Costco, which uen 't even in the area, and
there is competition from Wal-Mart and King Soopen, which are in the area, but they don't have fueling
stations. There are other fueling station, he Aid, there is one at 106• and Sheridan and one in Woodland
Pule, and it is a whole new plan, where the fueling station is aepara1e from the Safeway and they have acres
and acres of space . They are kind of just throwing the p1 statioa into this space, he Aid, I think it ii really
jamming it in there . I think the problem ii that we are limited in our visibility by that big cuopy and I
would drop my opposition, if they would agree to put a marquee sip up on the comer that lists the names
of the other shops in addition to Safeway. There is one there right now that says Safeway, The Shops at
Ha~n and Logan, but it doesn't specifically mention that there ii a liquor store, a sub shop, a bank or
any of that. Mr. Lawrence said if they would agree to do that. .. and I would agree ID pay any of my share
of the costs of conatructing and maintaining the sign ... then I would go along with dropping any opposition
I have to the project. That's all I have to say, he said .
Mayor Bradshaw thanked Mr. Lawrence .
Mayor Bradshaw asked ifthere was anyone else that wished to address the Council on this matter this
evening . lbere was no one.
Mayor Bradshaw asked if Council had any questions .
Council Member Moore said in watching the presentation he bad one question and tile Subcenter owner
just hit righl on it. What strikes me, he said, is at the entrance offofLopn Street to this facility, with the
stacking lane ... and all that looks great ... but it see1111 like you are aoina ID be etfectively eliminatin& about
five spaces there because of the traffic coming in off of Lopn. If you -that there is m UICleued
volume of traffic for the station, I would expect that the stackina ii neceuuy, bec:auae you me aoinl ID
have more traffic ther~. But, be pointed out, gettina in and out of these apob is goina ID be very difficult.
So not only have these shops lost some of their parkina, it loob ID me like IN)' have loat the OIICI ript in
front of their store . I may be having too nuc:h concern about that traffic there, be said. but ljwl couldn't
help but wonder if it could just be moved in closer to the p1 facility , or~ like that, ID allow better
access to these few shops on the end .

Mayor Bradshaw asked if Mr. Moore was asking to move the whole entrance up . Council Member Moore
said yes, he was just wondering if that would be a possibility, enough to allow a little bit better access to
those first few stores.
Mr. Beauparlant advised that that same suggestion was brought up during the Planning Commission
hearings ... to relocate that access further to the south ... and it was decided that it wasn't a good idea,
relocating that is really not going to aolve the problem The current access is not going to change at all, he
said. You will come into the site just as it is now, we are not going to change it whatsoever. So, in our
minds, the parking condition that is there now isn't really impacting the parking adjacent to the shops.
Council Member Moore said except that you added the stacking lane, so the stacking lane indicates some
anticipated change.
Mr. Beauparlant advised that stacking occurs now. What we are offering is a haven for stacking. Right
now , when people want to turn northbound or southbound on Logan Street, they only have one lane to
stack in. We are going to give them two. So anybody who wants to take a right turn, onto southbound
Logan Street, is not going to be there very long. Half as many people are going to be there stacked, in the
left tum or the northbound Logan Street. So in reality the length of that stack is probably going to be
shorter under the proposed condition, because you have free egress to southbound. Council Member
Moore thanked Mr. Beauparlant.
Mayor Bradshaw said I question any north turn out of there period, because it is almost impossible.
Mayor Bradshaw asked if there were any other questions.
Council Member Garrett said he has several questions related to parking islun. I dunk the issue that you
raised, from my perspective, has more to do with the increased traffic comin& imo the site. If they are
pa;ked in front of the store right at the far eastern edge, they may have trouble ever act1ing out of the spot.
I think it is not the people leaving, but the people coming in that can cause the major problem
Mr. Beauparlant stated that they did do a traffic study for this and submitted it to the City for their review.
I think the thing to keep in mind, he said, is that even though you have the International Transportation
Engineering Manuals that show traffic generation, etc., most people fuel their cars OD the way to work, OD
the way home from work or they combine their trips. It is very rare that you would be watchin& a Bronco
game and at halftime go out to put gas in the car. It is not a destination type of trip. So we will have some
increased traffic , we hope. We hope some of that increased traffic will stop at the shops and alao go to the
store . We have had some ad hoc studies of three different locations in the Front Range . These are fairly
new for Safeway. One thing I failed to mention, he said, is that we have been involved in the design of 69
of these throughout Colorado, New l\.~xico, South Dakota and Wyoming. Most of these are in the Front
Range area. The studies that were done of the three spots indicated that almost 40"/o of the vehicles that
stopped at the fueling center also stopped at the Safeway store. I don't know if these were just Safeway
stores/Safeway fueling facilities or if there were other shops, for instance, such as in Longmont. But I
would think , he said, that the more shops you have in the center, the more likelihood there is of having
combined trips . We don 't look at these as brand new stand alone trips , where people are coming onto the
property, getting gas and leaving . Certainly there will be some of that, I can't say that won't happen. Mr .
Beauparlant pointed out that this is the only west bound U.S. 285 proposed fueling facility, almost in the
entire stretch through Englewood . He noted that U.S . 285 is a highly traveled road and so it is something,
right now, that the people in Englewood don't have . People wbo may take U.S. 285 to 10 home or to work,
traveling westbound, go ahead and get gas and get back onto westbound U.S . 285 without affectina,
whatsoever, the Logan Street access. They can go in on 285 and leave on 285 . So I don't think, he said,
that this is going to have major significant impacts in terms of the access on Lopn Street and I think, with
the improved egress, that the end result is, really, going to be an iq,rovement.

Council Member Garrett said I do not know the dimension/size of parking spots in Englewood, but I
noticed that you were rcstriping to make them smaller. He pointed out, at the Barnes and Noble and
Starbucks at County Line, that you can 't park a car in there . Everybody takes two spots, because the spaces
arc too small .
Mr. Beauparlant advised that the rate right now, under the current City Code ... which I think is being
revised ... permits up to 40% compact parking, which is 7 V. feet by IS feet. This wu written at the time of
the oil embargo or something, because at that time the can were getting smaller, and that is not the case
anymore . Now we have Expeditions, Suburbans and things like that. Th e existing dimension for a parking
spot is, I believe, 9 feet by 20 feet. Ms. Langon can verify that, he said. We arc not proposing to go
skinner that 9 feet and 9 feet by 18 feet is a standard space, just about throughout the entire Front Range .
So we are proposing spaces that you can actually use and you can still get out of the car without having to
bang the one next to you.
Council Member Garrett said the parking that is right on the cutem part of this site, which is son of on the
other side of the circulation pattern, seems to be stranded parking.
Mr. Beauparlant said it is stranded unless you want to make it ~loyee parking and that is typically what
they do. I would usumc that Safeway would be willing to do that. Anchon of most centen will make sure
that their employees park in the areas that the customers aren't as likely to park in.
Council Member Garrett said you also mentioned that there will be an attendant, which increases safety
concerns. But what we saw wu that the attendant will be leaving at midnight, so during the period that you
son of expect that safety will be more of a concern, there won't be an attendant there.
Mr. Beauparlant said exactly, that it ia unlikely that there would be a 24 how-aaendant. He COllllllmlled
that Safeway may, for their 24 hour stores, have an attendant at all times. But, he said, my point is that
right now there is nobody out there and at least for an extended period of time during the day, coq,ared to
right now, there would be somebody out there.
Council Member Garrett said then there is no anticipation that they will go to a 24 how-attendant.
Mr. Beauparlant said they will have 24 hour fueling, but right DOW what Safeway typically does is operate
the kiosk as an attended facifity during the same hours that the store is open.
Council Member Garrett said the last question I have is in regard to light lhicldina, because these things
tend to blare out a lot oflight.
Mr. Beauparlant said we arc definitely not designing that, our lighting plan is to have all of the canopy
lights be flush mounted, no protruding lenses, we arc not really addin& any site lighting at all. We may be
relocating one , he said , but we arc not going to be having this big bright thing out there .
Council Member Wolosyn asked if there has been any discussion about increasing the names on the
marquee .
Mr. Beauparlant said no, there hasn 't. The reason for that ii that the ahopl thcmlclvea are not a part oflhil
property, they arc on a different, separate property. The pareel that is abown on the plan is tbe property that
is owned by Safeway, he explained, and the aipage only applia to the Safeway atore and tbe Safeway
fueling . So, he noted. it has not been a discussion item at all to add off pmniscs advertisina and I am DOI
even sure it is allowed by Code . • •

Council Member Yurchick said he had a question. I am not sure if it is for Mr. Beauparlant or for City
Attorney Brotzman. It goes back to my earlier question . If this doesn 't work out, can we require them to
clean-up the site so we don't have an abandoned gas station sitting on the comer of Logan and 285?
City Attorney Brotzman said you can add a condition to that effect.
Mayor Bradshaw said it sounds like you want to add that condition. Council Member Yurchick said I
would like to, but I don't know what the rest of the Council wants.
Mayor Bradshaw asked for Council 's comments .
Council Member Wolosyn said that is fine
Council Member Garrett commented that they can consider it when the issue comes up, as this is only the
public hearing.
Mr . Clayton asked if it would be appropriate for him to address the comment.
Mayor Bradshaw said yes .
Mr . Clayton said I hear what you arc saying and my only concern would be from a real estate penpective,
that we would still have the ability to, potentially, sublease that to another user in the event it doesn 't make
it as a Safeway station. It is not inconceivable that we might negotiate an agreement with, for example ,
Exxon Oil . to come in and sublease that space , he said, or some other type of tenant that might take
advantage of the facilities that are there and it may not be a fuel station. In tenna of your consideration of
that type of requirement, he said, please keep in mind that we would like to maintain flexibility from a real
estate perspective .
Council Member Garrett said from a real estate perspective, I think what we would envision that there is a
period of time, that we could say if it stays dark for x amount of time it would have to be cleaned up . He
noted we have done this with one of our tenants in a slightly different context. It is not like day one you go
dark and day two you have to clean. There is a period where it would look like it is going to end. That
would give you the flexibility during the interim to come back to the City and discU11 it.
Mr . Clayton said I understand the concern and if you could balance those two things, that is what we would
ask .
Council Member Grazulis said she did have a concern about the canopy taking away the view of the other
stores behind it. I did sec that there could be an issue with not being able to sec the shops there. So, she
sai d. I would like to have Jan Johnson, perhaps , look into this , if that would be possible .
Dave Lawrence said I would like to talk about that issue , since apparently it is impossible to include our
name on the marquee , I would like to just go into some of the concerns I have . Visibility of the signs, I
have done .i study on it , the canopy would take our visibility from the street from 1.93 seconds to .91
seconds. So you would be able to see our sign for half as much of the time . Also the glare of the lipt from
the canopy . In these books that I presented to the zoning meeting we bad color picturel of the other
Safeway fuelin g sta tions and how it restricted the visibility of the signs and now we have a new sub shop
Quizno' s over there and you can sec that sign for twenty seconds when you are driving down ~ and
th at is new competit ion for me. Now my visibility is cut in half. I have a picture drawn up , if anyone
wants to see thi s, he said, and I have the parking lot configuration. Does anyone Wllll to see that or sbould
I make copies?

Council Member Grazulis uked Mr. Lawrence how long he had been in busincu at that site. Mr.
Lawrence said 12 years.
Council Member Yurchick uked Ms. Langon ifit is true that you can't have off-site signage in Englewood .
Ms. Langon said yes, typically, what we call third party signs, are not allowed. However, this is a PUD and
it does create the flexibility and within that zone district it could be addressed, only for this one district.
Also, if Council would like, she said, we can come up with some language for a go dark clause that would
address the canopy, the~ and the fuel tanks .
Council Member Garrett asked if they wouldn't want to have the lighting standard in there, u well.
Ms. Langon explained that that would be addressed within the building pennit process.
Council Member Yurchick uked if Safeway would be opposed to panicipating in marquee signage with
the other shops.
Mr. Clayton said we would not be opposed, in fact we would be in favor of that. He stated that the reuon
it has not been brought up is because our usumption wu that it was not possible. But to the extent the
PUD can be written, be said, such that there can be additional signage for the marquees for the shops, I am
fairly certain that we can work with Mr. Becky and The Shops at Haq,den to work out a financial
arrangement to do that. So, we would be in favor of that ifit is allowed.
Council Member Grazulis said she had one other question for Jan Johnson. Are there any applications to
put our famous green wrought iron fencing around there? I don't know whether it would be a pouibility to
put the fence in, to tie it into Englewood.
Business & Redevelopment Coordinator Jobnaon said you are talking about the ornamental iron that we
have as part of our Catalyst Program. This lut year the program was expanded to include Haq,den. We

work, so it would be available:.
Council Member Grazulis said that is okay, it wu just another idea.
Mayor Bradshaw thanked Ms. Johnson.
Mayor Bradshaw asked if there were any other questions .
Co uncil Member Yurchick asked how they would address the signage issue.
Mayor Bradshaw said she thought Ms . Langon just said she would include that. Is that correct? Ms .
Langon said she would come up with some language .
City Attorney Brotzman said in your next packet you will have proposed language for signage and lighting,
the issues you have just discussed.
Council Member Yurchick uked if it would include the clean-up issues also . City Attorney Brotzman said
yes.

Council Member Moore said he had a question about the process . I would like to understand better why
some of the parking alternatives won't work, in terms of the Logan access . Is that something I just go to
Ladd Vostry with to try to get more comfortable with the issue? City Manager Sears questioned whether
Ms . Langon could respond to that.
In response to Mayor Bradshaw, Council Member Moore explained that, specifically be was concerned
about access to the shops in the eastern part.
City Manager Sears suggested Public Works could respond to Council Member Moore's concm11.
Mr. Beauparlant said before we go on to address Mr . Moore's concern I would like to~ Mr .
Yurchick's question about the signage. As Mr. Clayton said, we would be willing to do that, however, I
would like to ask that we could then entertain an increase in the total square footqe for the PUD. He noted
that we have a pretty tight sign package right now and if we could just look at pouibly addiDa 10111C square
footage for the tenants, if this is, in fact, the direction we go . I think Ms . Langon could probably addreu
that, he said.
Mayor Bradshaw said I think that will be addressed.
Senior PlaMer Langon asked Mr. Moore ifhe was conce ted about the parking spaces that would be near
the new wheelchair ramp. Council Member Moore said Ulat is correct. Ma . Lanson adviled that thole are
existing spaces. This is the same issue, she said, whether it be the two lanes like it is now or die tine
stacking lanes . So for anyone corning in, ingressing from Logan, it will be die same. It is no different &om
what currently exists. The reason the access point is not being moved do--···• Mr. ee..p.laal
mentioned and we did discuss that through our development reviews ... is that it clilnaa die IIKbaa for die
signal light. So, she noted, the entry point there is, pretty much set. Tryina Ill mow dial c .... die
intersection and changes the parking . We are pretty much stuck with it, she said.
Council Member Moore said whether or not I am right with my conccma for parkina. you an uyma that
, we, as a City, can't have the entry point moved down because of die inlenectioo at Lopn and 2115? Ma .
Langon said that is right, it affects the stacking. The Traffic Division of Public Worb reviewed that and
reconunended that the entry point not be moved .
Mayor Bradshaw said I have a concern about the left turn aoing cut out of tbeff. la dial lffllM a double
yellow line? Ms . Langon said not at that point. You cui make a left band llllll 6-dine now .
Mayor Bradshaw said I would think that if you had two car movements venua tbm:. that that would help
people get from those spaces over. Rather than negotiate a ript turn lane, a left tum lane and Ihm another
entry.
Council Member Garrett said, regarding the lpOll Council Member MOOff is ~ alloul. if you are
backing out of that spot, you are probably only backina into can that are comiaa ID. Mayw Bndlllaw said
that is true , I see what you are saying .

Ms . Langon advised that that has been a concern of staff's all along . Again, the Traffic Division reviewed
it and felt that it is kind of the lesser of two evils, but that it does actually improve the situation with the
two egress lanes .
Mayor Bradshaw said really, it in.,roved it? Ms . Langon said yes, because you have inc reased sblcking .
Otherwise, currently, the parking lane that is furthest cut, there is an exit right there, so you have that
whole line of traffic that is in one single lane, either turning left or right and then you have another lane that
is trying to come in, trying to tum out. So actually we are removing that one exit point to get to the egress
lane, moving it around and providing longer stacking distance and two lanea to stack. So that anyone
making a left hand tum doesn't impede people that are trying to exit to the right
Mayor Bradshaw thanked Ms. Langon for clearing that up .
Mayor Bradahaw asked if there were any other questions . There were none .

(a) Approval of Ordinances on First Reading
(i) and (ii) Director Fonda prescatcd a recommendation &om the Utilities
Department to adopt a bill for an ordinance approving License Agreements for Encroachments along the
City Ditch for the Santa Fe Widening Project and a recommendation &om tbc Utilities Department to adopt
a bill for an ordinance authorizing a Joint Use Agreement for the City Ditch with the Colorado Department
ofTransponation. He explained that the next two items are inter-related. We have reached an agreement
with the Highway Department over a dispute on the seniority of the City Ditch over the Santa Fe Corridor.
In the agreement neither party is admitting that it ia ICaior or not. We are juat letting that iasue die while
wc resolve the issue of whether the Highway Depanment can expand Into the City Ditch right-of-way. la
different locations, be noted, the City Ditch overlaps or the Highway Department overlaps, so we have just
postponed any argument, bccauac we don't think there will be OIIC anyway. So, tbc OIIC agreement with the
Colorado Department ofTransponatioa basically says we won't address that issue now, but each party will
reserve all their rights.
Mayor Bradshaw asked if she could ask a question on that. That is Agenda Item 11 (a) (ii), she said. Does
that impact anything they did at Aspen Grove, do they have to move that apin?
Director Fonda said that, basically, they are going to pipe the City Ditch foe a 1000 feet and in the Aspen
Grove area that is already done.
Mayor Bradshaw said okay. So, they don't have to go back and do stuffi Director Fonda said no .
Director Fonda explained that this is just the ordinance allowing the licensing for all of this and they then
provide a 1000 feet of pipe, that they will construct where it is open ditch now. So, Mayor Bradshaw said,
we are getting this done free . Director Fonda said yes, it is a pretty good deal. Mayor Bradshaw agreed
that it is a good deal.
Director Fonda said it is a good deal because wc want to get that 1000 feet of pipe, as that gives ua the
ability to run water later during the winter . This winter wc won't be able to do it the whole winter, while
they are installing it, but that will be a benefit to Englewood. That ii in the aecoad pan. be said, and that ia
with the Depanment ofTransponatioa. Now, be said, even tbouah we haven't agreed on whole ICllior md
we both have reserved our rights, we have agreed on bow we are going to do it and we are very coafident,
with the materials they are putting in and the locations, that we will be able to deal with that and it won't be
a problem.
Director Fonda advised that the other items are with AT&T, QWEST and Public Service and they do come
in in second place, because they are under lice111e with the Hipway Department and the Hipway

Department then requires them to be licensed with us. So, be said, the other item in the first bill ia the
agreement for encroachment licenses with those three utilities and they have agreed to that and they have
accepted our standard license.

south side of Oxford, there is no striping there and people keep trying to line up with the stripes on the
north side. It is very confusing, she said, and I watch people cut all the way over to get onto Oxford. So,
can we get the lanes down there striped?
Council Member Garrett asked if she was tallr.ing about the intersection or all of Windermere. Mayor
Bradshaw said Windermere, as Windermere isn't striped at all . If we striped WindcrmeR that would be a
good start and that would stop the drifting. It is very confusing by the light rail station. City Manager

numbers didn't quite make ICDSC to me. That IIIWII for S13,000,00 we are &ivina up the property. which
we thought could have a value al some poild in time u a park or whatever. So that would be part of the
decision making process.
Mayor Bradshaw said she would like to go back to her archival memory. When wc tryiDa ID pt rid of fire
stations in the eighties, she said, we sold a fire station to a glus company out in Sberida. She poimed out
that we sold it for a very nominal fee and we got killed. I just do not belicvc in selling land, that's valued at
a lot more, for S 13 ,000 .00 . I have real problems with that, she said.
Council Member Yurchick said part of the issue with him, too, is that he may have the SIJ,000.00 to buy
the land, but he docsn 't have the rest of the money to take care of the property or update it or do whatever.
Mayor Bradshaw said his cohorts arc intcrnting.
Council Member Garrett said for S 13,000.00 I can take it, raze it and build a nice house and aell it.

Council Member Moore said I was probably being over optimistic, in thinking that in this 30 day period I
would sec more effort in tcnns of people coming forward and convincing us that there were funds
available . At the same time, he said, I am still conflicted. The memo was very helpful in tCl'IIII of laying
things out and I have to admit, to the extent we can get a 75% subsidy, I am havin& trouble throwing in the
towel.
Mayor Bradshaw said my question is, a subsidy to do what with that building?
Council Member Yurcbick noted there is a big maybe on that subsidy too.
Council Member Grazulis said more information might come forth in UIOlbcr couple of weeks.
Mayor Bradshaw said I am sorry, but we can just baby this along for ycan. Not making a decision, is
making a decision.
Council Member Y urcbick said the problem is that I thought in 30 days someone would at least take a
position and a legitimate group would be out there with some plan or some way to uvc it, but nobody
really came forwanl.
Mayor Bradshaw said and more than S 13,000.00. Council Member Yurcbick uid yea .
Council Member Moore agreed that there arc a lot of ifs . But if wait for the three to five month process,
in three to five months to have the answcr ... ifit is a 75% subsidy?
Council Member Garrett noted the application process started in April.
Assistant City Manager Flabcrty explained that the periods for applications to the Colorado Historical
Society for grants is October 1• Uld April t•. It is very unlikely, be said, that-can act a panl, or even
put a grant together before October 1 •. Plus, in order to get any additional flmdina, wc probably need to
coq,letc the grant wc currently have, which requires approximately $190,000.00 -a of expeaditura. of
which 580,000.00 is funded by the Colondo Historical Fund. If--given tbe ao ahead, we could
probably coq,letc that by late this year or early next )ft1 Uld be able to apply in April for additional
funding. To be very honest, be uid, wc would probably need to have, at 1eut, altallltivcs for ma for the
Skerritt House if we wanted our grant request to be given good consideration. We would have to have, It
least, some alternatives for uses that they would need to review. But, yes. be poinled out, we could act to
the point, if we spent the dollars , to do a stabilization Uld close out lbc grant we have now, Uld we could
apply in April of 2003 .
Council Member Moore asked bow much we would have to invest to find out what they arc willing to do
for a subsidy .
Assistant City Manager Flaherty said we have a grant right now for 580,000 .00 Uld that is for stabilization.
The total project cost is about S 196,000.00. In order for us to fund that, wc have $40,000.00 in I cumnt
appropriation and we also have 588,000.00 that lbc City bas received from an imunncc settlement, but bas
not appropriated . If that were to be appropriated to the stabilization fund, be uid. then that project could be
completed . The stabilization could be coq,lctcd Uld wc could apply apin in April of 2003 for additional
funding for completion of the entire project.
