him what was going on, wliat is your problem? He said you arc decreasing the value of my home, and I asked him
where he lived. He took off. but fortunatel y, I was able 10 gel his tag nwnber, and was able lo find out that he lived
about six or cigl11 blocks on east of me. Mr. Eds.111 s.1id he would hardly call him a neighbor. He had purchased that

home and reconditioned ii. he had purchased it from an elderly person who had to move because her laxes got so
high she could not afford to live there anymore and she left . He bought the house . reconditioned it and wanted to
sell it , and I think that"s great . he said. that is free enterprise and I am all for it . But don ·1 go hollering at me that I
decreased the value of it, because when I increase the value of my propeny. the taxes go up . As I approach
retirement age. it means I can afford less and less of these stupid taxes. I have looked and I 1~1,·c watched the city
government very closely. he said. not this pan . I am talking about the scr\·iccs you provide . Most cities would love
to be able to send two policemen on any call . TI1ey generally put them in one car. No" Englewood seems to have
enough resources. that not only can we send two policemen. we can send them in separate cars. and sometimes three
and four . In one area of town this afternoon. there were at lcaSI three there. he said . with one person to a car. TI1a1 is
fine , I think. we have one of the finest police forces in this area. I don ·1 mean to shoncl~1ngc those officers . he said.
lbey are doing an excellent job. Mr. Edsall said he was especially pleased to learn that our SWAT team went to
Columbine. But they are getting caught up in something. he said. that is not of their making. and I am talking about
the field officers. not the hierarchy . I got posted a public nuisance ag.1in. "1th a ring on m~ doorbell . I go to the
door . and not only do I have a code enforcement officer. I have a police officer standing there. with his l~1nd on lu s
gun. and they stan writing it up and going to post it . And that is fine. if that is the game "c arc going to pla~. he
said. TI1en I got to talking to the police officer and I think he found out I wasn ·1 quite the high nsk cnm1n;1I he \\a
sent out there for . Now before that. I had had a police officer out there TI1c head of lhc code cnforccmcn1 111111 .
along with the code enforcement officer. and that was a horrible waste of resources . Nm, \\hal arc we going 10 do
about it , he asked . I don 't Imo". I went to the advisory committee meeting last ~c.u. cvc~body sa~s go to th e
advisory committee meeting. I "cnt last year. Now I don ·1 kno" a lot about adviso~ com minces. \\Oil ·1 c l.111111 0 I
happen to have a degree in agricultural education . and I don ·1 suppose I l~1d more than three or four courses III m,
undergraduate work about how to organize and use adviso~· committees. When I went to \\Ork on my Ph D at Oh io
State, I probably did not get more than three more courses. he said . When I came to Colorado. one of m~ assigned
functions with the State Board for Vocational Education was to be the functioning Slaff for the State Adviso~
Council for Vocational Education. and I watched them function . I know what a good one is. I know what a bad one
is. he said . 'That night. I left shaking my head. he said. I got told later that it is advisory. but we use it for poli~
making and governing. One of your hierarchy here told me that he said . TI1erc is only one governing board for any
committee in this city. he said. and it is right here. it can not be an)1hing else . At that meeting that night. the y had to
wait to get a quorum. to get fifteen people there. Half of those people were staff. he stated . City staff. Now. no
good advisory committee has any staff on it. it is made up of members of the community and representatives of the
community by segment perhaps homeowners. renters. business people. and like that . TI1ey can not get them to
come. and it is no wonder. he said . Tiiat evening. I sat there for about two hours and I will guarantee you eighty
percent of the talking was done by tliat staff. TI1cre was no advice passed on. it was a stacked commiuee. and we
have the fox watching the hen house . You have a problem . people. he said . We elected you as Council members
and I do not know many of you . I know a couple of you came on for very spcci fie reasons. he said. a couple of you
came on \\1th irons to bum. as crusaders. and I think that is great . he said. Mr . Edsall asked Council to remember
that there is much more crusading to be done than just their single issue . If you keep on with what you arc doing
with code enforcement. he said. you are going to ruin one hell of a good police dcpanmcnt . I do not know whose
idea it was to put those code people in unifonn. but 11~11 is beside the point. I know a few years back. he recalled. we
had three people in lliat w1it. and ll1cy were good people. they understood hwnan relations. TI1c y stopped at my
house more 111llll one time, and said. Richard. you need to cut the brush from around the Slop sign out here . And
they did it in such a way that I did not feel put on. he said. and he sure did not feel threatened or put do"~'-I will
guarantee you. he asscned. in the laSI two years. tliat has not been Ilic case. You have backed me into a comer, he
said. The inunediate conclusion I draw is that tl1is city has too much money if we can put 11~11 many vehicles on the
street. ifwe can have this much hierarchy . we ought to liavc the best paid underlings in the state. and we don 't. So
we have a misadjustmcnt of salaries. Aller 111.11 advisory commillcc. I passed the word. he said. to tell Mr. City
Manager that I do not want to live in Greenwood Village . I want to live in Englewood. that is why I moved here .
Mayor Bums asked Mr. Edsall to wrap up. since tllCl"c was a ten-minute limit .
Mr. Edsall said he had gone on too long. but asked if they could sec that he has a bone to pick. There was a guy in
Connecticut last month who had a real interesting solution . You may have heard about this doctor who bought a
home next to the school. he said. When they staned working on tl1c school parking lot, he let his son and some other

Englewood, after twenty-eight years. she says let 's gel the hell out oflhis town . TI1.1t is S."ld. he said. I talked 10 a
ninety year old friend who has lived in Ibis city fift y-four years. and I asked him if he would come with me He s.1 1d

(a) Mayor Bums s.1id tl1cre are a couple of non-schedu led visitors. and City Manager Scars 1s gomg 10
help with the lead-in on this. We 11.1,•e Mark Shotkoski from Caner and Burgess. and Don Leidy of Mai111enancc
Design Group, he said. on tl1e Southeast Conidor, and arc inrnlvcd with 1he po1c111ial dcvclo pmclll of lhe General
Iron Works site as a n1.1intcmnce facility for RTD .
Cily Mamgcr Scars advised tl,.11 a lcller was p."lsscd 0111 to Cily Council this evening lhat wa s recci , cd b~ staff o n
Friday at 11 :30 a .111 . regarding a design group for lhc General Iron Works development. Mark Graham. Mike
Flal1eny and Mr. Scars attended the mccling this moming. There was a representative from Denver there. also. he
said. and there were rcprcscntaU\'eS from RTD. and also Caner and Burgess. Mr. Scars said he made 11 clear tl1i s
morning tll.lt tl1c City Council li."ls 1101 made a decision regarding the future of the General Iron si 1c. even 1hough
there was a meeting held earlier 1his year "ith representatives from RTD. We were all shocked about lhe cxtcnl of
Ibis workshop happening during this week . and cxaclly who the rcprcse111a1ives were thal needed 10 be tl1crc . I l~"lve
gone ahead and committed our staff to be al Ilic sessions. he ad,iscd. adding 1ha1 he will be a11c11ding several of 1hc
sessions. He said he knows 111.11 tltis is in preparation for the proposed June 23 •1 public mcc1ing regarding the
facility . Mr. Scars said he asked Mr. Shotkoski and Mr. Leidy 10 come 10 the City Council meeting tonight. He said
he felt that , rather ti= just rcponing on what li.1JJPC11ed today. tlic full discussion "ith the City Council would be
beneficial as to what Ilic pL,ns arc. wl1.11 the desires of RTD regarding tltis mainlcmncc facili1y arc and "ha t the
schedule is, so tl1ere can be some input as 10 where the future of the General Iron site needs 10 go . He s.1i d he
appreciates both gentlemen coming this C\'cning al a momcnl · s noli cc
Mr. Shotkoski tli.1nked City Manager Scars. Mayor Bums and Cmmcil . He sai d he "as wilh Caner and Burgess.
and was representing the Southeast Conidor projccl tonight As you know from previous mcclings. he said. pan of
the Southeast Corridor is to locate a maintcmncc and s1oragc facilil y for the li ght rail vehicles .
Council Member Bradsl1.1w said tltis is southwest. Mayor Bums said tl1c facilil~' is 1101 just for the soutl1wes1. ii is
also for southeast. Ms. Bradshaw s.1id then ii is for everybody. Mayor Burns said Caner and Burgess did the major
investment study for the Soutl1cast Corridor. Mr. Shotkoski s.'lid this is an all-encompassing facility . Ms. Bradsl,.1w
said. if there would be a southeast line. the maintenance would lake place at this facili1y . Mr. Shotkoski s.1i d 1ha1 is
correct . Mayor Bums commented 111.11 RTD lt."IS always spoken about it 1ha1 \\ay.
Mr. Leidy apologized for any incon,·cnienccs or concerns. This is a good example of good inlenlions gone bad . he
said. Last week when we were l1.1ving discussions about doing ,min-house work session 10 do a rough test Iii of the
conceptual facility on the preferred site. and Mr. Shotkoski will gel into 1ha1 a lilllc bit do"11 the road. somebody
asked if ii would be nice 10 have somebody there from the City of Englewood. We said that our forn1.11 allows 111.11.
Our fonnat is such tli.11 we have review meetings every moming from I0:00 to 12 :00 111.11 could be open 10. not onl y
the users. who the original design session was intended for. because we arc trying 10 nail do"11 the shape of the
building, not necessarily the whole layout of tl1c si1c . but ii also allows people from the City of Englewood 10

panicipate if they would like lo. UnfonW1ately. the way th,11 came across. was tJiat it was a detailed design session
and that it was required lliat somebody be there. he s.1id. and for that. we a pologi7..c . It was not meant at all to come
across that way, it was meant to come across as more of. since ttus is an issue tJiat relates to the selected or to the
preferred site for the maintenance and opcratiMs fac1li~. that the fonnai allows thai to occur. For any
inconvenience along those lines. we sincerely apolog11..c . he s.-ud .
Mayor Bums said one of the incon.-enienccs. obv1ousl~. was vinually no notice for staff to attend. Mayor Bums
asked that the two gentlemen remember to treat the Clly w11h a cenain amount of respect and the Ci~· Council. too.
and cer1ainly the Ciry Manager and his staff. Tiiat. he said. is Lhc concern he has with tJ1c type of notice we got.
Mr. Leidy explained thal the reason for the late notice was. although II has been plarmed for three or four weeks.
somebody said would it be nice to have somebody there from the City of Englewood. and we said the fonnat would
allow it. and that was just last Thursday that tJiat w-as raised. and so \\C apologi1..c .
Council Member Nabholz said she is tired of the blame game. She said she has spoken with Katherine Cox of
Caner and Burgess who said tliat the reason tJ1c meetmg was set up on a Monda~ \\3S because it was her imcm ·s
fault. lllis next meeting Lliat was set up June 23 '• wound up being a Cit} staff s fault . two indi.-iduals were named .
She said she found thal really hard to swallow. and now we find out we arc on a schedule here. lllis letter is dated
June 2nd . it was faxed June 4"' at 11 :38 a .m . last Friday afternoon. and our City Manager scrambled to notify us
about this. I have a tendency to agree with the Ma}or. she said. tl1a11hcre has been a real lack of pannership. there
has been a lack of respect . and tJie time has come for better communication.
Mayor Bums advised that the June 23 m date is right in the middle of the Colorado Municipal League armual
convention in Vail. to which several of us are plarming to attend. and would not be liere at that time . No one
checked thal out. either.
Council Member Bradshaw asked. when we met with you before. at the preliminary . lct's-take-a-look-at-llus
meeting. and then. all of a sudden. this comes out tJ1at it is already in pretty close to concrete. We s.1id please meet
with our residents to find out what they want. You s.1id okay. we arc going lo do tliat. but then it looks to me like
you are doing the conceptual design workshop before you even meet with our residents to sec if they even care or if
this is what they want in their neighborhood. Maybe I a m wrong. she allowed. but that seems like it is backward.
Mr. Leidy said. again. the conceptual design. in tl1e tcnns tliat we arc using them. is just to do a test fit of a box of a
building on a preferred site. and there is a lot of work that we have to do before we meet with the neighborhood
because conceptual is prc-<lcsign. it is pre-scheniatic.
Council Member Bradsliaw said that is not Ilic mcss.1gc that gets out , to us. to our staff. to our citi1..cns . When we
get in our own little cubbies. and we talk our own little j argon. that is where commwlication breaks down. Ms.
Bradshaw recalled that Council said please meet with our citi1..cns to hear wliat they wam before anything liappcns .
Council Member Habenicht commented Lli:it this looks like it is already a major investment. and that she would have
to agree witJ1 Council Member Bradsliaw. TI1is docs not seem to follow through with the conversation we had at our
Study Session. sl1e said.
Mayor Bums said you may be interested to know there arc still some members of Council who would be interested
in some kind of multiple use at tllis development. 11~11 might include some housing. He said he understands Lhcy
may not know much about L11e llistory of tllis site . TI1ere w-as an attempt . he explained, less than two years ago. to
design something for this site of tliat nature and our consultants got a linlc bit overl y ambitious and extended the site
plan off this site into the ncighborl1ood . Tilis resulted in a great uproar from people in tl1e neighborhood. which
impacted at the Planning and Zoning Conunission . Tiiat proposal never even got to the Ciry Council. he said, but
was shelved because of tlie reaction to the proposal. Tiiat docs not mean we gave up on it. and people at RTD have
stated that. if you want to develop tllis as a development for the City of Englewood. we will back off. Of course.
RTD has been interested in tl1is for a maintcn:mce facility for sonic time. he said, but tJ1ey have always been willing

to defer io the City if we want to do something else with it. Mayor Bums said the last meeting Mr. Leidy and
Shotkoski were al he was surprised how galvanized this thing was. You were talking about having a resolution in
front of City Council in July to approve, and I thought we were just going to talk. Obviously. he said. there are
various groups who are working together. and consultants and so fonh. so we have a plan how to get this tliing
through the Council. and do it as quickly as possible . TI1:1t has taken me a back considerably. he st ated. as there arc
other uses we are looking at on this site. We have had a very good working relationship with Rm. and we don ·1

City Manager Sears asked Mr. Shotkoski and Mr. Leidy to go through their scenario and schedule. He said th ey ha d
spoken today about the four altemaai,•cs tliat they narrowed it down to. and tllis is now the des igna ted preferred
alternative. He said he guessed that was by Rm. but felt it would be helpful for 111cm to ta lk a bout wha t the ste ps
are that they arc still going tlirough and wha t the times arc for how the~ pian for tl l:l t to l~1ppcn .
Mr. Leidy said tll:lt. obviously. public parucipation for the si te is paramowit for this a nd for cvc"1hing e lse tl~1t we
are doing for tl1e Southeast Corridor. We intended to l~wc a public meeting in th e middle of May. and. "ith o ur fo ul
up, that was on a Council night. Our intentions were there . a nd we do wa nt to present tliis to the nei ghborhood . that
is absolutely critical to our process and to Ilic environment;~ impact stateme nt s . We need a ll of the ir comn,c nt . \\e
need to consider all of their comments . as well as a ll of the Coun c il members· comments . Wh at Mr Le id) and Ju

three or four weeks. but tll:11 fits into an overall process that is not solidifying the location . Wl ~1t he is do mg 1s
designing a facility and tll:lt facilit y could move to anotl1cr location. he said. It just so ll:lppcn s th at o ur preferred
site. based on our evaluation criteria. is the former Gene ral Iron site .
Council Member Bradshaw asked what causes a site to be a preferred site. Mr. Shotkosk i re s ponded that pa n of o ur
criteria for evaluation was the si1.c of it , the location to the light rail main line. the current la nd use a t tl l:l t s ue. th e
neighborhood impacts. tl1e environmental issues at that s ite .
Council Member Bradsll:lw asked the location of the other three sites. Mr. Shotkoski said there "as one s ue tha t
was directly to the nonh of this site in Denver. Another wa s at the Gmcs Rubber C ompan) si te a nd th e last one was
just due south of Ilic existing Mariposa light rail facilit y.
Council Member Bradst~,w inquired about the zo ning of the other three s it es M r. ho1kosk1 responded tha t th e
zoning for Gates is industrial. and the other two have at least four diffe rent Loning Mr Brad ha " said 11~11 \\Ould

Council Member Nabholz agreed. She said slie called several Counc il members yesterday beca use s he wa s upset

wonhwhilc if a Council member can attend . Mr. Scars said he knows they are very busy. He asked what the
schedule is this week. and whal do they intend to do with the infonnation that comes out of the meetings.
Mr. Leidy said the process for this week is for the sub-consultants on the Soutl1cas1 Conidor team that arc associated
with doing the programming and planning for the maintenance facility to make sure that a building footprint can be
CSlllblished . lbat is efTon not wasted. because we could pick it up and move it to another site. because the intcmal
functioning of that facility is what is imponant to lhc user. the efficiency and the safety and all that. Tonight. right
before I left. he said. we were coming up wirh altcmative ways to situate Ilic building on the existing site . just like
we could come up with alternative ways to situate it on another site if tliat were required . Also. we will be looking
at some of the edge treatment. as the architects in our group call it. Looking at Elati and Bates as to the impact that
that could have, and stan to address how tliat could be addressed. on this site or any site. because there is always
sensitivity to this son of operation for projects tliat we do prcny much all over the country. so "e know tliat is a
concern and an issue . Tomorrow. from 10 :00 a .m. to 12 :00 p .m .. and we have all of our review sessions set up this
week from 10 :00 to 12 :00. we will present a conceptual block plan of the site and the building and different way s
tlie building could be situated on the preferred site . We "ill look at some of the edge trcatrncnl. different ways that
we have addressed treaunent with maybe even retaining some of the look of the historic structure to help screen the
site, which arc the outside or the edge trcaUncnt issues. Mr. Leidy said we also want to present some block plans to
the users. once you get into the site. how do people now from their parking space to Ilic building. out to the ~ard .
and things like that . So tomorrow. he said. those arc the issues we arc going to address from 10 :00 to 12 :00
Council Member Habenicht asked if this is the kind of thing where. oh. ifit was going to go here. wouldn ·1 )OU lik e
it to look like this. rather tlian tllis. and you get some agreement or consensus from Englewood . yes if it has to go
there. then this is the way we like it. TilCll it is going to be rcponcd tl1:1t Englewood likes tlus. I am rcall~
concerned about tliat. nus sounds like ramrodding. slie said.
Mr. Leidy said it is not meant to be that way at all . He said he apologizes again for coming across that wa~. and Mr
Sears had tliat same concem tllis morning. He voiced that in the meeting. that any comments from the Cit) of
Englewood may be misconstrued as approval. and it is really not . In fact. the representative from the Cat~ of Denver
even had some questions and concems tliat were voiced to. no matter wl1:11 city it would be in . tlicse arc issues tl~u a
group might want to consider when they arc planning this. So. tl~11 conccm was voiced by Mr. S.:ars . he said. and
this was by no means meant to indicate thc City of Englewood endorses this project.
Ms. Habenicht said what he said just distwbcd her. too. You arc suggesting tliat any city would have a problem
with this. and so now you arc looking at a very small land locked city . This troubles me . she said.
Mr. Leidy said he hopes tliey did not come across tliat way . TI1c issues the representative from Denver made were
tliat any city that would do this would want to make sure that this issue was addressed . It was not tliat there was a
concern about this facility in any panicular location. It was good input that we got from your staff. he said. as well
as from the staff of the City of Denver. So that is tomorrow from 10 :0010 12 :00. TI1c reason \\C like to ha\'c a lixcd
time for people to be there is because tliat is where a lot of interaction occurs. and 111:11 is "here we can hear Ilic
concerns from all tl1e different groups. not the users. but any other input tl~11 we might have . But we liavc also
volunteered tliat. if someone can not make it and they arc interested in following up. \\C arc there from prui>abl y
7 :00 a.m. to 7 :00 p.m. and would welcome anyone to stop in at any time to review where we arc. We feel. he said.
that since ninety percent of the yard is not building. it is track. tliat we can address some of those site issues
tomorrow, and then tum Wednesday to start focusing on taking the blocks from tlic conceptual building noor plan
and refining those a little bit more . So when we say 11~11 this is an area where we could put the suppon spaces for
tllC facility. that people know tl~11 suppon space consists of restrooms. locker rooms. showers. conference rooms .
meeting rooms. office storage areas. delivery areas. and tilings like tliat. Mr. Leidy said we will be refining what we
hear on the site issues. but we arc also going to be going into a little bit more detail on the building issues
Wednesday. al the meeting from 10:00 to 12 :00. TI1cn TI1ursday, at the meeting from 10 :00 to 12 :00. tlie concept is
to go through this process of incorporating comments we hear at each meeting into a more lirlite conceptual plan.
Again, on this one. tlie original intent was to liave a work session to make sure we got tlie block riglll. because that
would apply to any site, he said . We would get linal comments on all of the prc\'iously discussed issues at a

meeting Thursday. he said. so that is the week . Mr. Leidy said he thinks we reserved Friday. and he was not sure it
was on the memo. in case we did not get finished or we had more comments than we thought. or there were different
alternatives that they wanted us to look at. So we have the !'!cxibilit~· of a meeting Friday .
Council Member Bradshaw said it says here . the workshop "ill develop the project on the Gcncml Iron Works
propeny in the City of Englewood. She asked if they would conceivably be having them develop 1l1c site III Denver.
and whether they were going to hold different \\Orkshops 10 consider those other three sites.
Mr. Leidy responded that. pan of the effon that Caner and Burgess went through to identii:, the sites was 10 do a
rough layout of the track on the site. 111c yard is the largest piece. and the building is the smallest piece. he advised .
bul the building has to tic into the yard somehow. TI1cy would. al 11~11 time. be able 10 take the conceptual design
that we developed this week of the building and put it on the previously developed track la~ outs of the other two or
three sites. Right now. there is just a box on there 11131 has no shape or fonn. so )CS. ii could be adapted 10 some of
the other ones .
Council Member Habenicht said. so ii is being designed for lhis site . and then ii \\Ill be seen ho" ii would adapt to
other sites for which it has not been designed. If it were designed for another site. 11 might 1101 fit as niccl~ at this
site. It still feels like it is being pushed. she said.
Mr. Leidy said ll1e reason why ii is being designed for this site is because. \\hcn 11 \\as ranked and ralcd on all
operation and environmental factors. it ranked as the lop site . In Las Vegas. he said. "c did one on tl1e preferred
site. aJthough it was a bus facility. rather 11~111 a rail facility . and something fell through on the final negotiations of
the purchase and we ended up going to Ilic number two site. It is always possible that Ilic preferred site ends up not
always being the one 11131 gets selected. but that is a typical process. You always want to plan for the one that is
your preferred site. he said.
Mayor Bums asked if anyone 113d spoken to the present owners of the site Mr. Shotkoski responded affirmatively.
Mayor Bums asked if ll1ey 113d indicated wl13t their desires for the site \\ould be. adding that they just moved there a
shon time ago. Mr. Shotkoski said. basically. the only discussions th~ have had were 10 ask them. if we send them
a right of entry lo begin environmental phase one and phase two \\Ork on the site. if lh~ would sign off on that and
allow us onto the propeny. We have also done this with several of the other sites. as well as numerous locations
along the Southeast Corridor. he said. 11~11 is just pan of the o, crall environmental impact s1atcme1111hat we have
to go through .
Mayor Bums asked if they would be doing cnvironmc111al impact a1~11~ sis on several sites. or just this one. Mr
Shotkoski said we have done a pk1se one for some of the other sites 1l1ose have come back as a fatal naw in those
potential site locations. he advised. Mayor Bums asked if all of them came back with fatal naws. Mr. Shotkoski
said no. in several of them. Cow1cil Member Habenicht asked if he meant several of the four. Mr. Shotkoski said
one of the four had a fatal naw. Council Member Grazulis asked wl~11 indica1cs a fatal naw. Mr. Shotkoski smd a
Super Fund site. When we addressed that to RTD. he cominued. lltc) 1old us that that was not pan of 1l1c1r inlent for
operating a facility, even ll1ough 11131 is grounds for a good Brownfields project. TI1cy told us ll1cy preferred not to
develop on a Super Fund site. Council Member Bradshaw asked if 11~11 was the Gates site. 10 which Mr. Shotkoski
responded that 11~11 was the site just south of Mariposa. the existing facility at 6~' and Kalamath .
Mavor Bums asked about the site immediately nonh of this one 11~11 was mentioned before. Mr. Shotkoski said
ll1cic were no environmental issues that were as prevalent as the Super Fund site.
Council Member Habenicht said he keeps referring lo this as the Southeast Corridor project. yet none of these arc in
the Southeast Corridor. She asked how long the corridors were . Mr. Shotkoski responded 11~11 Ilic Southwest
Corridor is 8 . 7 miles . .111d the Soull1east Corridor has a founccn mile leg down 1-25 and a five mile leg do"11 1-225 .
Ms. Habenicht asked if they would be bringing all of the vehicles that service those onto this one. Mr. Sho1koski
said that is correct . Ms. Bradshaw said plus wl~11 is already running. Mr. Shotkoski said that is correct . Ms.

Bradshaw said she docs not want to sound like not in my back yard. a NIMBY. but if you arc talking sixteen miles
versus our eight and a half. it would make more sense to have a service facility where the six1ccn miles is .
Mr. Shotkoski said they have run a study with the sites and ran an operational cost estimate as far as when you get
the train miles and the deadhead miles is what they arc called. Basicall y. when you are out of rc\'enuc servi ce . a nd
you arc just bringing the ncet back to the storage facilit y. and surprisingly enough. all of the sites that we looked a l
were in a magnitude of less than two percent of each other. We looked al half a do7.cn sites for that.
Council Member Garrett asked iftlicy looked at any on the southeast line. Mr. Shotkoski s.1id yes. we did. Counc il
Member Bradshaw said tl1cy did not make the final four. Mr. Shotkoski said that is right. they had some other
concerns. One of them was tlie overall si 1.c of the facilit y, he said. We were bounded b~ 1-25 and 1-225 a nd we did
not have the appropriate room that we nccdcd to store the one hundred vehicles. Council Member Bradsha w said
then it is also a storage yard. not just a maintenance facilit y like you said before. Mr. Shotkoski sai d yes . Ms .
Habenicht said a storage yard for a hundred vehicles.
Council Member Bradshaw said she is just son of sick and tired of people dumping thi ngs in Englc\\ood.
Mayor Bums thanked the two gentlemen for coming. He s.1id they had tried to be as candid as possi ble . adding tha t
he feels they understand. Our staff will be attending some more of your meetings. he said. a nd we dcfiml cl ) wa nl
public input on this project . and tl1cre arc some of us "ho would like to look at a nothe r use for tin s si te. o r so me
combined use if you are going to look at the propeny to the 11ortl1. perha ps.
Council Member Bradshaw said maybe half in Denver. half in Englewood. Mayor Burns s.1id he did not know wha t
could be accommodated. but perhaps something could be done. He said lie feels the unponant thing is for tlu s
Council, and staff and the citizens to be infonncd. not surprised. not have niectings we do 1101 know about until the
last minute. or have public meetings set when we can not be there . He advised that tl1cy should rccog1111.c tl ~1t tlu s
City Council is a pretty independent-minded group and do not like anyone taking an)1hing for grdnt ed . He said
again that he appreciated their coming tonight. and was sure they would sec them again.
(b) Teri Dion. Chair of tlie Greater Englewood Chamber of Commerce. in\'ited C ounc il to tl1 e Taste of
Englewood. which is coming up this Thursday. She said she brought complimentary ticket s . Also. Ms. Di on
assured Council that, despite Ilic loss of its Executive Director. the Greater Englewood Chamber of Commerce is
here to stay. Regardless of any rumors to the contrary. we are here to stay. she repeated. adding that the C l~1mber is
very imponant to this community. and that it scn·cs a very good . serious purpose. TI1e Taste of Englewood will be
held from 5 :00 p .m. to 7 :00 p.m .. tl1is Titursday. June IO . 1999. a t the Cha mber offices at Colonial Bank on South
Broadway at Hampden.
(c) Lieutenant Byron Wicks. Englewood Dcpanment of Safet y Serv ice s . introduced tl1c nc" Code
Enforcement Supervisor, who came on board today. Dave Lynn . He said he was a n experienced C ode E nforceme nt
Supervisor. fonncrly with the City of Aurora and with Greenwood Village . Liculc mnt W ick s said he is very
comfonable that we will get some great things from him.
Lieutenant Wicks said he would also like to address a couple of points that Mr. Edsall brought up . He said he would
like to set the record straigl11 witlJOUt getting into too much detail . because it may very well tum into a coun issue.
He said he knows that Council passed that nuisance ordinance witl1 the intent of improving the quality of life in
Englewood. which was passed last year and became law on Jul y 26. 1998. Since tl1en , we ha\'e been using tlial
nuisance ordinance to effectively improve the quality of life in Englewood. Mr. Edsall indicated that he did not
have any problems until a year ago, he said. but the fact of the niatter is that he lias a file dating back to April 13.
1989. That panicular propeny has received ten notices ofviola tion. five thiny-<la y postings. and two other written
warnings. he said. and he has owned the propcny the entire time. Lieutenant Wicks stated tliat this is an on-going
event. and that is why he has the attention that he has. because. as of Thursday, he was still in non-compliance. He
said he wanted Council to widcrstand that they are not using Gestapo tactics. quite the contrary . Lieutenant Wicks
said he personally visited his propcny. had the opponw1i1y. and in fact the Code Enforcement officer wa nted him

cited, and I am a real big believer in voluntary compliance. he said. so I thouglll about gi\'ing him one more break.
We had a very lengthy conversation on site. he was definitely in violation of repeated ordi1~1nccs . and we posted 11
again . The posting will be up the 11'' of June. and we will do whatc\'er is going to be appropriate based on what he
does. It is his property. it is his responsibility to clean it up . he said I just wanted 10 assure Council 11t11 \\C do 1101
use Gestapo tactics. we arc bending over backwards. but we do ha\'c a S\\om obligation 10 uphold the Cit~
ordinances as they arc written. he said.

COUNCIL MEMBER NABHOLZ MOVED, AND IT WAS SECONDED, TO ACCEPT WITH REGRET
THE RESIGNATION OF DARRYL R. DUMMER FROM THE PLANNING AND ZONING
COMMISSION.

The motion carried.
9. Public Hearing
(a) COUNCIL MEMBER BRADSHAW MOVED, AND IT WAS SECONDED. TO OPEN A
PUBLIC HEARING TO GATHER INPUT ON A BILL FOR AN ORDINANCE CREATING A PARKS
AND RECREATION OPEN SPACE ZONE DISTRICT.
Ayes : Council Members Nabholz. Garrett. Bradsl~1w. Habenicht.
Waggoner. Grazulis. Bums
Nays : None
TI1e motion carried and the Public Hearing opened .
All persons giving testimony were duly sworn.
Planner Tricia Langon. representing the Department of Neighborhood and Business De\'clopmcnl. told Council that
the bill before them toniglll amends the Englewood Municipal Code by creating a new zone d1stnc1. whi ch is the
PROS, which stands for Parks. Recreation and Open Space. She reminded Council that they heard first reading of
this bill on May 17,;,. For the record. Ms. Langon submit1ed Proof of Publication of Notice of Public Hearing. which
appeared in the Englewood Herald on May 21. 1999 . Ms. Langon staled Council requested that City staff prepare
an ordinance that would identi(v. protect and conserve parks and open space in the City . In thal effort . an inilial
draft of the ordinance was reviewed by City departments. by the Planning and Zoning Commission. and Parks and
Recreation Co111111ission . TI1e ordinance that you have before you. she ad\'iscd. was endorsed by the Parks and
Recreation Commission on April 8. 1999 . and the Planning and Zoning Commission considered the ordinance at a
Public Hearing on April 20. 1999 . TI1c purpose of the ordi1~1nce, basically . is 10 officially recognize and identify 1hc
Parks. Recreation and Open Space sites as their own dis1ric1. Currently. sl,c ad\'iscd. sites arc intermixed in the
various districts throughout the City . As a separate districl. the City can work toward preservation and conservation
regulations Uiat would prolect the parks by considering impacts :md relationships among the districts . TI1is
ordinance would establisl1 the base for future protection and conservation of those PROS sites, so the bot1om line is
the purpose of the ordi1iance is to strengU1en the parks system. sl1e said . Wl~11 this ordinance docs is establish the
new district as pan of the zoning ordinance. establisl1es the guidelines for the new district. and identifies the sites on
the official zoning maps. When we create the new wning maps. as a requirement of the new ordimnce. you will sec
green on the map. she said. lbc effect of the ordinance is that it confers an official status to the Parks. Recreation
and Open Space sites. and. more than an)thing. it allows people 10 recognize the sites when they look at the map.
Ms . Langon pointed out that the parks administration will rc1min a function of the Parks and Recreation Depanment
and this ordinance creates its ow~• district only. it docs not rezone any sites al this time . 11~11 will occur later she

said, and it does not create any new parks. nor docs it eliminate any Parks. Recreation and Open Space sites. What
happens next. with the approval of the ordinance. is to begin the process of rezoning . We arc looking at
approximately twenty sites. she ad,~scd . and we arc collecting the information necessary to coordinate the re1.011ing .
Rezoning will comply with Chapccr J of the wning ordinance. and the rezoning process will probably take a total of
six to nine months from the passage of the ordinance. she said .
Mayor Bums asked about future use of 1J1c ordinance. once you gel 1J1is initial designation. if you lk1\'C a1101J1cr area
that you want to designate as parks. Ms. L'Utgon said we would then bring it in under the new zoning and designate
it as a PROS district. Mayor Bums asked if that would invol\'e the Plarming Commission. Ms. L111gon said yes.
any rezoning of propeny would.
Council Member Bradshaw said so it is always going to have public input. Ms . Langon responded affimk1ll\·cl~.
Ms . Bradshaw said then that was the intent.
Council Member Bradshaw asked about Attachment Bon the Open Space Inventory . Where you say golf course
greenbelt. 267 acres. She asked if that was Sheridan. Ms. L111go11 said ll~ll is Sheridan. asking if she mc.'llll III the
area remaining under existing. Ms. Bradshaw said yes and asked if that would remain industrial in Sheridan. M s
Langon said she did nol know. Ms. Bradshaw said it was a landfill . Ms. L1ngon said it was a landfill orig11~,11~.
and she would suspect llk11 it is. but said she docs not know their zoning.
Council Member Habenicht said she rccch·ed a lcner from ,, co mmissioner" ho was questioning " hc ther or not the
ordinance allowed for pubhc hearings. 1l1cy arc under the unpression that it docs not. and that re'1ews 111 the future
would only be held by the Parks and Recreation Slaff and l11c development rc\'icw team . and not go lo Planning and
Zoning. She asked if that was right and asked Ms. Langon to clarify that.
Ms . Langon said. if Parks and Recreation were to develop a site . or made some change to the sue. "hat the
procedure has been. and this ordinance proposes to continue that process. is that their application "ould come in and
be reviewed by the development review team . 'The team is generally made up of Neighborhood and Busi ness
Development. p..,:,lic Works. Traffic Engineering. Building and Safety. Fire and any other depanmcnts as needed
are brought in for those reviews . 11,c purpose of that team is to revie\\ the project . the site plan. for all of those
areas, for traffic. 1.oning. placement of buildings. for fire safety . and for all purposes. she said . lliat 1s the general
procedure as any project would come in now. Ms. Langon said she beliC\cs the Planning and Zoning Commission
was concemed about having public input for any type of development within l11e parks.
Mayor Bums asked, after they ha\'e been designated and zoned under this ordinance. wliat would happen after that
on those already zoned areas. Council Member Habenicht asked if this docs not allow for public input. Ms. Langon
said. as it was wrillcn, no. per Council 's amendment on May 17"'. that was pulled .
Mayor Bums said if you arc going to have public input . you liavc to define how much of a change you arc going to
have . If you change somellling lliat is very small, like where lo put a picnic table. you should not have to have a
public hearing on it. He asked how this could be defined so that you would know. He said he has some interest in
having the Planning and Zoning Conunission panicipatc. but how do you define it so you know which is an issue
that should come before them or lliat is just so trivial that it is a waste of time.
Ms. Langon said tliat was our rnajor controversy. Al wliat lcvcl do you decide thai it becomes a public hearing
issue. Council Member Bradshaw said tlk1l is decided by that team . Ms. Langon said no. according to tJ1is , it would
not be a requirement.
Council Member Waggoner said it is not a requirement. but it docs not say you could not . Ms. Bradsliaw said tJ1cn a
public hearing could still be held. Ms. Langon said that is correct. Mr. Waggoner said. in the other procedure. you
would have to hold a public hearing. and in this one it would just be pcnnissiblc. Ms. Bradsliaw said she likes lllis.
the way it is written. belier .

Ms. Langon said it is also her understanding that Parks and Recreation. lhrough the Board. holds public input . before
they start the project anyway. So it is somewhat redundant. other than one is a required public hearing. and the
Parks Department's is merely an infonnal process.
Ms. Habenicht said that is the point she was going to make. that Planning and Zoning is primarily a quasi judicial
group, in which a public hearing has some impact . while the Parks and Recreation Conunission is not quasi judicial.
and the public hearing would be jUSI for gathering input She asked" here in lhc ordinance something like that
would be added .
City Attorney Brol7.man said. previously. and the motion that wa s changed. paragraph D. had an additional sentence
thal COW1Cil removed on first reading. 11lat required a public hearing for all those items li sted in paragraph D. so
items like setbacks. building heights. signs. fences and landscaping would ha\'C been required to go to a public
hearing before any of that work took place. he advised.
Ms . Habenicht said. for example. if we were talking about the location of a skateboard park. or the locauon of a
tennis coun wilh ligl1ts. or any kind of acti\'ity. lhat could. a s the ordinance stands now. be appro\'ed by staff.
without going to any public process at all . Ms. Langon said other tl~111 the public process that the Park s a nd
Recreation Depanment would address prior to even bringing the idea forward .
Council Member Waggoner said. when this comes up at budget lime. then Cow1cil 1~1s control over it and it could
go to public bearing.
Council Member Habenicht said we have infonnation saying that PL1m1ing and Zoning appro\'ed this . Did the~
approve this with or without that change. she asked. Ms. Langon responded that they approved it "ith that change.
Ms. Habenicht said so they approved not to ha\'C a public bearing. Ms. Langon said no. lhey amended the ordinance
to have the public hearing at first reading. Council n:mo\'ed that amendment.
Council Member Waggoner e:1.-pL1incd that. when it went to Parks and Recreation. they appro\'ed it as originally
written. TIICII it went to PlaJming and Zoning. and they added the requirement. When it went back to Parks and
Recreation. they said we do not like thal requirement. lake ii back out. and then Council look it back out on first
reading.
Council Member Bradshaw said it has to go lhrougl1 a hearing lo be zoned parks and open space. so that is where the
hearing process comes in .
Mayor Bums said we arc talking about after that. Ms. Ha benicht said yes. she is conccmcd about after that. because.
for ei1ample. where you place a skateboard park might make a big difference lo people who li\'e adjacent to zoned
park land. and would like lo have the ability to go to Planning and Zoning. She said it seems to her that it is an
appropriate PlaJming and Zoning function .
Council Member Bradshaw said then we arc bypassing Parks and Recreation . What we arc sa ying is the Plamling
and Zoning has more control over it than Parks and Recreation . Cow1cil Member Habenicht said no . she would not
think so . Council Member Bradshaw said. if it is a Recreation facilit y. she feels we should go through the process
that we go through.
Council Member Habenicht said she truly believes that if ii is going lo alfccl lhe land use and ii could address
adjacent propeny owners and residents and citizens of our commwlity. they should have the accountability resting
with the people. She said she has always been a strong supponer of that . She said thank you for clarifying that. this
has really helped to clarify the position she is probably going to need to take .
Mayor Bums said he is concerned about the same thing. Definition is really a lot of what we arc talking about here
if we arc going to address these issues . We ha\'e a new skateboard park down at Cornerstone and we arc already
having problems with lhe neighborhood about lighting and noise. And that went through evel')1hing. Council

Member Bradshaw said. Mayor Bums said he is concerned 1ha1 we can fonnulatc lhis somehow . He said his
concern is thal if we just have staff lo sa y whclhcr we have a public hearing or not we may never have a public
hearing.
Council Member Bradshaw asked if we can add some L111guage to D. if ii is going 10 impact
Mayor Bums said we have Mr . S1ockwcll here lhis evening . He is the author of lhe lcllcr \\e ha\'e been 1alking
about.
Ms . Langon said, if Council modifies the ordinance. if lhal does come up . she would like 10 discu ss one otl1er point
Casey Stockwell , 3919 South Washington Street, said he is a member of lhe Planning and Zoning Commission . He
said he believes that. if Council considers all the issues they have heard. that they arc addressing the only iss ue s he
has . He said he felt they were stated VCI)' well .
Council Member Habenichl asked ifhe was spcakingjusl for himself. Mr. S1ockwcll admillcd lo limiled experience
with govcmmem in Englewood, and . therefore . he is liSlenin g 10 the inpul of the people from hi s Commission and
their previous experience in Englewood . For instance . c iling 1hcjoin1 \\Ork 1ha1 Englewood did wilh Arapahoe
County in the South Suburban Park District . He s;1id Council broughl up most of lhc issues thal were ci1cd there and
there was a 101 of concern wilh surrounding neighborhood s because of lighl s. for 111 s1ance . We also wrc s1l cd w11J1
the question of how much . We do 1101 wan110 know if yo u change a ligl11 bulb . or cha nge a pa ri< bench . we do 1101
care, he said . Obviously. an)1hing like a bathroom would come across on budgel stuff. bur \\C still feel like ii is 100
open~ndcd. As for the spccifici1 y of whal size it should be before a public hearing is held . Mr . Stockwell said.
although al the last meeting they addressed the fact that ii may add up to three momhs 10 a decision-makin g proce ss .
he does DOI feel that is necessarily so. As a matter of fact . I am on the other end of 1ha1 spcclrunt he sai d I belie, c
thal we could keep a IOI of picnic tables from coming to Council . We are there 10 serve you . he said. 10 ga1hcr
information and save Council tjmc, therefore. if a picnic 1ablc comes across. we can slop ii. you do 1101 ha\'c 10 hear
about it. If it is lighting. and tbe public needs to hear about it . ii can come 1hrougl1 us firSI. he said, we can clunina1c
a IOI of the extra Sluff'. do a bunch of the changes lhal the public is alread y concerned aboul before ii comes lo
Council. Of course. anything that comes from us is just a suggestion. he allowed . Mr . Slockwcll said he feel s 1ha1.
by eliminating that one sentence. Council really pulled them out of the loop . Specificity of the si7..c of 1hc addilion
was a problem. and you can gel 100 detailed. landscaping. c1c . bul 1ha1 is why we 1hough1. lca\'c ii general . and ,fit is
a picnic !able. we will just say no public hearing or whalcver. II is \'cry l~ud to gel thal specifi c in language w11hou1
someone finding a way around ii. he slaled, 10 somclhing 1ha1 impacls 1hc local communily .
Council Member Bradshaw said ii is a lrust thing . We have a Parks ai1d Rccrcalion Conunission . we have Plarming
and Zoning. If it is an issue where ii comes 10 ligllling or somclhing. she fell sure Parks and Rccrca1ion would say
this needs to have a public hearing .
Council Member Habenicht said she feels trust is imporlanl. but also you can have a higl, degree of I rust when you
have a group of people lhat you feel VCI)' comfortable wi1h. but tilings and people can change . TI1a1 is why 1hc
process needs to be in place to address lhose things, she opined. She fell thal ii is importanl somclimes 10 have 1hcse
things spelled out and tbc process in place . and trust in the system. 1101 jusl in the people .
Mr. Waggoner said the system requires lhal lhc process go lhrouglt 1101 onl y Ci1y Council. bu1 an y capital
improvement projecls arc approved by lhc Planning and Zoning Commission. aild even if lhey arc initialed by Parks
and Recreation, any capital projects arc approved by lhe Planning Commission and our nonnal budgel process .
Mayor Bums said he is concerned about timing. and we were talking about six1y or ninely days. and if they slill have
to go through a budget process. Mr. Waggoner said you know whal projects you are going to build al a certain time
of year, and that is budget time. and usually those are on a five year capital improvements project plan . If there is
some concern about a skateboard park going in, for instance . at Cushing Park. then when budget time comes around .
and all of those are approved . that is the ti1ne we should be queslioning where ii is going . He asked if that is or is

not the proper place , before it gets too far down the road . There is no sense in our Parks and Recreation
Commission spending too much time on a project that is not going to be approved. he said. or that somebody has
some concerns with. That is why we have public hearings even at those times. he said .
Council Member Habenicht asked if it is appropriate to be discussing this at this time . Mayor Bums said we need to
separate the Council discussion with each other from the nonnal public hearing process.
Mr. Stockwell asked if he could comment. He said what tl1ey almost touched on tl1cre. with tl1c three 10 six months.
the budget only comes up once a year. once every five years. and projects do not always take that long. TI1erc arc
monies set aside in every department for stuff \\ithin that )'car in a generalized \'Cin . ll1crcforc. you still have an
open door for stuJJbeing put in. whether it be sidewalks or tall lighls. that they can just Iii inlo their budge! without
going through a budgetary process on spccificily. so that would be one concern. he said.
Mayor Bums said he tends to agree with that. He asked if Mr. Stockwell had an~1hing further to say .
Mr. Stockwell said no. he just felt lhat the fact thal ii l~1s been brouglll forward and Council is considering it ve~
thoughtfully is really all he wanted.
COUNCIL MEMBER BRADSHAW MOVED, AND IT WAS SECONDED, TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC
HEARING.
Ayes . Council Members Nabhol7_ Garren . Bradshaw. Habenicht.
Waggoner. Grazulis. Bums
Nays : None
The motion canied and the Public Hearing closed .
Mayor Bums said he tends to agree 111.11 you can ,~we tl1ings come up that are not part of the budgeta~· process. He
said he felt it is difficult if you arc going to have public hearing as the definition . He allowed that the Planning
Commission may be willing to work as a filter. but he said he did not want 10 layer too many difTercnl reviews of the
same thing.
Council Member Bradsl~1w asked if Council is then abdicating its responsibility 10 make those decisions . if we arc
having it filtered .
Mayor Bums said he thought we were trying 10 a\'oid having such things as a park bench corning before Council.
He said he is not sure how the process would work exactly .
Council Member Bradshaw said she feels we arc in lhis vein of mi cro managing evcl')1hing afler the project across
the street . and she docs not know 111.11 we have to keep doing 11~11. She said she strongly feels there is a process in
place 111.11 is reasonable. Nothing gets put in a park without the five year plan, that is always approved by Council.
The Parks and Recreation Commission can hold meetings. sl1c said. and she just docs not w1derstand why people arc
so distrustful of this whole thing.
Mayor Bums said he felt Council Member Habenicht 11.1d made a good point 111.11 people cll.1llge. and we wam to
have a good process. He asked if, legally. as far as lhe hearing process is concerned. can tl1e Planning Commission
act like a filter. City Attorney Brotzman said sure. if you want them to . You could l1.1vc 1ha1 level of delail 1hat is
specified in this ordinance.
Council Member Waggoner said Council could also call a public hearing on any proposal thal comes up . TI1ere arc
a lot of times when the Planning Commission will l~1ve a public hearing. and we tum righl around and l~we another
public hearing. he said . Council Member Bradshaw said that lakes a long process. Mayor Bums said sometimes
that is necessary .

City Attorney Brotzman said filler is probably an inappropriate word . l11ey are advising you. much as the Libra~
Board does and the Code Enforcement Advisory Comminee docs . TI1ey arc advising you of issues .
Mayor Bums asked if they can entcnain an issue of a public hearing. and then stop. so the Council never secs it.
City Attorney Brotzman said the only time they do that now is on quasi judicial maners. 1101 on advisory mancrs.
advisory comes to Council.
Council Member Habenicht said she feels really strongly that she values the checks and balances that we have in
place, so that in time , no maner who is there. there is an appropriate process . She said she has to take imo account
the major water park that we have planned. She said she has l~'ld se\"cral citizens call and they are conccmed about
that, and they feel very uncomfonablc thal there has IIC\"Cr been a public hearing on that. tli:11 the y ha,·c been able to
address . If this were in place with something at Planning and Zoning. th~ would tia,·e an opponunil)· to have their
quasi judicial public hearing guaranteed. If this ordinance were passed right now . those people "ould 1101
necessarily have that. She said she feels there is a sense out there . just as we were feelin g that . perhaps. our RTD
process was trying lo ramrod something at us . and people feel tl~1t . \\hen It 1s III their back~ard . ifthey do not know
that there is a real process that they can get into . it can get overlooked . She said when th ere is a real hone st to
goodness process that l~1s to be gone through . it can cenainl~ be sped through l11 c checks and balan ces arc
imponant. she said, and I value the rights of the citi ze ns .
Mayor Bums asked , if you l~1d tl1c ordinance in place . and then )Oil had new 1011111g on a nc" sit e. \\hclhcr th at
would have to have a public hearing. City Anomcy Brotz1i.111 s.1id yes .
Council Member Ganctt said liaving missed the previous meeting . he did not know whether the discu ss ion was
more enlightening . He said he is trying to sec if there is a common ground that somehow can be reached . l11c
struggle witl1 any drafting is words. and it seems tl~111he concern is if there is going to be some son of impa ct off
site. lfwe arc doing something such as impro\"ing a ball field. that will have no additional impact off site. "h~ do
we want to hold a public hearing on something like that. He said he is trying 10 think if tl1crc is some kind of ca pital
expenditure cap. Well. no. if you put up one light tower that costs no money . that is where people arc conccmcd .
while if you did several thousand dollars to ,~1kc the ball field better. no one would reall y care for rcsoddin g. for
example. If we could come up with some kind of language . such as material impact off site . Some kind of material
standard. which is a loose term. but one tliat we use legally a lot. if there is a material impact off site . l11c water
park impact would be off site because of the grounds . So maybe we could come up with something tli:11 would
satisfy both. he said.
Council Member Habenicht said she feels that would be appropriate. and would suppon tl1at. so tl~1t we arc not
micro =1ging, but addressing the conccms of our citizens. Mayor Bums said he l~1 s no interest in mi cro
managing little cll3Jlgcs in a park .
Mayor Bums asked if it is the consensus that Cow1cil would like to sec some language in 11~11 direction . Council
Member Waggoner suggested tl1cy work on it. then . before it comes back to Council . He s.1id he docs not want to
sec it again until something is decided .
City Attorney Brotzman asked if Council wants this to go back to both commissions prior to coming back to them .
Council Member Garrett said you liave two commissions with two different views . Council Member Bradsliaw
agreed . She said if we arc going 10 use the process. it needs to go to them. too . Cit y Attomey Brotzman said he got
lost on thal one . Council Member Garrett said the answer is yes . Council Member Habenicht said speed it through
to both. City Attorney Bro!Zlfl311 said okay. it is going before both . Cow1cil Member Habenicht s.1id if we could
have them both rcprcscntcd with wliat they have lo say to us. that would be helpful .
Mayor Bums said we have Ilic lu:1.111)' of some time here. because we arc not going to change a park or lose one or
gain one in the mcanli1nc . We liave our parks. we arc just trying 10 initially 1..one them, and look to the future .
Council Member Bradsh,1w said she has a problem with two layers of bureaucracy. because the process is there .

Mayor Bums advised that lllis action requires a motion to review the ordinance which was tabled of April 5. 1999.
COUNCIL MEMBER BRADSHAW MOVED, AND IT WAS SECONDED, TO REMOVE COUNCIL BILL
NO. 24 FROM THE TABLE.
Ayes: Council Members Nabholz. Garrett. Bradshaw. Habenicht.
Waggoner. Grazulis. Bums
Nays: None
The motion carried.
City Attorney Brotzman ac1'1sed that this matter was tabled due to retail concern regarding the display and storage
portion , on page four of the ordinance. §7~E-IO. 111is section. if you look at the end of what is now section C-2.
that is what was previously required. he said. It required that it not be accessible to the public . TI1e retailers came to
us. he advised. and said that is really difficult for rcL1ilers. TI~ came to us. the us being tl1c Code Enforce ment
Ad\1sory Committee. first ll1e sub-committee and then it wcm back to the commlltee as a "hole TI1eir request was.
either put it in line of sight and/or electronic survc1llance . and for that they will provide education to i•1eir retailers .
provide us paint, provide us other substantive issues. because it helps their retailers out . TI1c s ub-co mmiuce ,md
committee as a whole voted to approve the ct.1nge in l,mguage TI1i s la nguage is actuall~ la ng uage tha t was
proposed by the International Municipal Lawyers Associauo n. th~ came up with a bas ic draft of the code secti o n.
Tital is what this is. ll1at is wl.1t the sub-commiucc and the com111111 ee as a whole a rc proposi ng and that is what is
now in the ordinance. he said.
Council Member Garrett asked if that is what the retailers were comfonable with. Mr. Brotz 1m11 said 11.11 is what
they requested.
Mayor Bums said onc of the issues is how much of tit<: graffill paint is stolen. and we got \·Cl) d1ITcrcn1 o pinions o n
that.
Mr. Brotzman said the retailers 1~1d very different opimons than the study in Denver came up with. TI1cy arc say111g
there is not nearly as much stolen as Dcnver·s study previously stated. Mr. Brot7Jnan said other cities have done
similar studies. they disagree with those studies. Pan of what they said ll1ey would look at is they \\ould go back to
their retailers and actual I) nm through their lists and sec how much is being stolen and try and work on that issue a s
well. if it is a problem.
Mayor Bums said that was the main reason why you would put it out of reach. He asked if we have sur.·e~ cd the
Englewood retailers. Mr. Brol7.Jna n stated that they s;1id they have talked to our retailers. but in a ll honest ~ he d ocs
not feel they did a very good job of talking to all of our retailers. Council Member Bradshaw s;1id they did not ta lk
to Home Base. Mr. Bromnan said they talked to a couple. Titey may have talked to Kmart . and those they actually
represent in the market TI1cy talked to Wal-Mart. who is not in our market yet. but is coming. and is one of the
groups they actually take care of. and they arc indicating there is not that much stolen. a nd if it is. they would ra ther
take care of that issue because they do not wanl ll1cir mcrct.1ndise leaving the shelf.
Mayor Bums asked if there will be any funhcr discussion with Englewood retailers. Mr. Brot zman said the promi se.
in the letter that Council has. is tltal they will come out and talk with our retailers about ll1c program and educate
them about what they need to do. and about stolen p.1i111 . and how this all works. TI1c benefit. he said. and the
probability of that happening would probably 1101 be Iha! great. cxcepl that Denver passed an ordinance lhal looks
like paragraph two, it requires that it be locked behind a clerk. so you could 1101 reach it. TI1cse very same people
went to Denver. Denver said we arc keeping that. we arc not going lo electronic sur.,cillancc. or line of sire . TI1cse
people really want to educate our retailers about how nice Englewood is in supporting the retail commmlity. and
Denver is not. Mr. Brotzman said he feels they will actually be cduc.11ing our retailers.
Council Member Bradshaw said they need to go 10 all of them. She asked how they will get that list Mr. Brotzman
said lite)' actually have a list, allhough it is 1101 very comprehensive right now. n,cy had a number of businesses that

have Englewood zip codes. t.'Jat were not in Englewood . He said he feels they have actually missed a couple of
retailers, so we need to work with them more on the correct list in contacting our retailers.
Council Member Habenicht asked if the ordinance. as it stands now. docs not have any effect on the retailers at all .
Mr. Brotzman said it docs have some effect. but not nearly the impact that it once did. You still have to have
electronic surveillance. meaning a camera that actually works in the ceiling. for exan1ple in Kmart. so you could sec
if someone was stealing paint, or you would have to have a clerk watching where the paint containers are .
Otherwise, you could lock it behind the counter. he said. A good example is A & A Trading Post . they have spray
paint behind the clerk already .
Council Member Habenicht said it gives the retailer the option to use any one of the three. bul they have lo do one of
them . Mr. Brotzman said yes. or they are in violation of the ordinance and we could bring them into Mw1icipal
Court for violating the ordinance. Ms. Habenicht asked how you would enforce the clerk watching. She said she
could understand how you would enforce electronic surveillance or behind the counter. Mr. Brotz man said if it is
not in line of sight of a clerk. or there was not electronic SW\'Cillance. yo u would be in violation of the ordinance.
which means there is a penalty section. which is our traditional penalty section. so you could fine the store S500 a
day for every day that it is not in line of sight or view of the clerk. so it is a dollar penalty to them.
Council Member Waggoner said they could just change their isles to the direction that is away from the cash
registers.
Mayor Bums asked if we could just pass this on first reading until we liavc the s ur\'ey . He said he thought we were
going to survey the Englewood businesses before tlus came back Council Member Bradshaw said that is what tl1cy
said they were going to do. Mayor Bums said we got a light brush over the people they already represent. and that is
not what we expected. Council Member Bradshaw said 11131 could be a way of delayi ng us from passing it. too .
Council Member Nabholz said there are several members of the Code Enforcement Advisory Committee here
tonight. A lot of effort and work has been done on this from thi s sub<ammittcc. as well as the Code Enforcement
Advisory Committee. She said she did not know if it would be appropriate or not if the cl~1ir of that sub-committee
spoke. She asked. if this is not passed on firsc reading tonight, is it tabled once agam. Mayor Bums said you can
continue it rather than table it. Tabling requires a different vote . he said.
City Attorney Brotzman said he would probably urge them . since Ilic committee has recommended this. and you ca n
remove paragraph C and pass Ilic remainder of this . Council Member Bradshaw s:1id we co uld just let it go. and try
it out to sec how it works . If it needs strengthening. then we could go from there .
Council Member Garrett suggested having a public hearing. Mayor Bums asked if we should set tl1is for public
hearing. Mr. Brotzman said you do not l~1vc to, you may l~1ve a public hearing. Mr. Garren said ii would be a good
idea. Ms. Nabholz agreed. since it involves retailers. Mayor Bums s:lid if we are going to liave a public hearing, he
would like to have all of our retailers infonned so we can receive community comment.
Council Member Habenicht said she is not clear. She asked if the cl~111ges were 1nadc because of the person who
came here. and we tabled iL or did they go through tltc Code Enforcement Advisory Committee. Did tl1e Code
Enforcement Committee approve the cltanges'/ Council Member Nabholz responded affinnatively. She s:lid tl1ey
are comfortable with it the way it is . Ms. Habenicht asked if they are the ones who brought it to us. Ms. Nabhol z
said yes . Ms. Habenicht s:lid she is ready to move on it then. she said she had thought it was changed in spite of
them .

about the public hearing. it may take a linlc bit of umc
Ms. Habenicht said we arc passing this m fa\'or of the busmesscs. smce tins was a suggestion 1mde by the
businesses. She said this will be the first time she has e,er talked ag:1inst a public hearing. but she rc.1ll y docs 110 1
think it is necessary. since we ha\'e bo\\ed to the retail concems. We have taken it back to the people \\ho first
brought the ordinance. She said she could sec that if 1t was going to be something more detrimental to them . but
why would they come back and make it stricter?
Council Member Garrett said many of our retailers have not had any input. and he would like to gi\'e them a shot . if
they so desire.
Mayor Bums said it can be more of a problem sometimes if people think they did not have a ch,mcc to talk about it.
Council Member Grazulis asked when the hearing would be . Council Member Garrett said as soon as it is practical
to notify all of the retailers. Council Member Bradshaw said we probably need to go to the second meeting in July.

(ii) Director Gryglewicz presented a recommendation from the Dcpanmcnt of Financial
Services to adopt a bill for an ordinance placing a question on the November ballot regarding Liquor Occupation
ta'lics. Mr. Gryglewicz stated that . since TABOR came into effect. any new taxes arc required to go to the voters .

Restaurant License, and Mini Bar Pennit. and this would be for the occupational tax that is listed in the ballot

Bar Permit is for a branch of a hotel that is within 1.000 feet of the main hotel . It has to be owned by the same hotel
people, and could be up to 1.000 feet away.

12. General Discussion
(a) Mayor's Choice
(i) Mayor Bums discussed a leller to Council from Jerry Slack. President of the Board of
Directors of the Englewood Historical Society regarding gelling clcctric11y for the Depot Museum . Mayor Bums
said he is not quite sure what is being addressed here. and why 1hc Cily "ould waive a charge. and whal that charge
is.
City Manager Scars advised 11~11 he asked Rick Kahm to follow up on 11~11. and has not yel goncn a rcpor1 from him .
He said, as he Wlderstands it . it is to pay for electrical services to the building itself and whatever connection fees
there may be. He said he can nm verify that for Council tonight.
Council Member Nabholz explained that there was a temporary power pole back there when the Englewood
Housing Authority still owned the propcr1 y and all the Historical Society is looking for al this point is 10 be able to
have an outside light. She said when she met "ith the president. and some other board members as we were pricing
some things for the box car sale, he said that he was told that the wiring that was run to the depot for the outside
lights was really dangerous. She said. if all else fails . and we can not tap into the existing power pole. the issue is
we need some lights outside. We arc not worrying about wiring rigl11 now. but just for safety .
Council Member Garren asked what fees Englewood would be waiving. Ms . Nabholz said she is not sure . bu! what
the Historical Society would like is a ligl11 outside the building. We had a temporary power line running to that
power pole and it has now been disconnected. she said.
Council Member Waggoner asked if they wanted an area light, as is in our parks. Ms. Nabholz said yes. Mr.
Waggoner asked why we don't just request Public Service Company to install on. and we pay the monthly bill .
Mayor Bums asked if they would just make tl1e initial request to the Public ScrYicc Company for tl1c liglll. Ms.
Habenicht said can we not just ask staff lo address tllis. instead of us trying to solve the problem. It seems like there
should be light there, she said, and we own tlie land.
City Manager Sears apologized. He said Ms. Nabholz is probably rigl11. and it is probably as Mr. Waggoner
suggested. that we just request a light and pay the nom~'II fee . Mr. Waggoner said he docs nOI know what it is now .

but it used to be that they give you about $500. and if it runs above that you pay the difference for the installation
and then you pay so much a month for a street light . Mr. Sears said. if that is the case. Council can just give him
authorization to do thaL and if it is different he "ill come back to Council . Council concurred .
Council Member Grazulis said this does raise a concern regarding the propcny around it Ms . Nabhol l said there 1s
one neighbor this might possibl)' impacL but she has been robbed twice . and she would probabl~ "clcomc lhe hghl.
Council Member Waggoner said if it bothers U1em. Uiey can always adjust ii.
(ii) Mayor Bums advised that we have an invitation to the grand opening of the skate park at
Comcr5tone Part. Saturday. June 12,. at 12 :45 p.m.

COUNCIL MEMBER WAGGONER MOVED, AND IT WAS SECONDED, TO FUND A TRANSIT
ALLIANCE MEMBERSHIP FOR AT LEAST ONE YEAR.
Council Member Bradshaw said she feels we should wait and see what happens. as she feels it is just another layer
of govenunent and she does not like to suppon lobby groups.
Mayor Burns said he would like to speak in favor of it. He said he knows a lot or the people involved in this and
they are focused on transit. as we are in this city with our transit oriented development. He said he agrees with Mr .
Waggoner that, if we join it. we should take a close look at it during the first year or operation and see whether we
think ii is useful, and if not. we can drop the membership.
Council Member Nabholz asked if he had not said that this was pan of the original. when the City went down before
RTD that we would suppon the Southeast Corridor if they gave the suppon fof our project.
Mayor Burns asked if she meant five years ago. Ms . Nabhol z said )CS. Mayor Bums said we had talked to all the
cities that were involved in tl1c initial discussion and vo«ing at DRCOG on the approva l of the Soutl1west Corridor.
This is focused on the whole metro area.
Council Member Bradshaw said her concern was that the people who arc going to be impacted by the next light rail
spur are not even members yet.
Mayor Bums said thal is a good queslion. It may be thal t~· are just so involved in the Soutlicast Corridor now that
they are just intensely involved in il He said he is not ~ 'lli'ly tomC of them are not on this letter. but he said he
was sure they are asking them to be on it.
Council Member Habenicht said to shed some light on that . those communities tliat we worked with to get strong
support for us when we were trying to get tlic Southwest Corridor. are tlic cities that arc rencctcd in membership in
this Transit Alliance. specifically Arvada and Golden .
Council Member Garrett said he will be voeing no for tllis. but will be a strong supponer of those commurlities. He
said he jUSI does not believe this is the right fonim at this time .

agrees with it
2 . She said they did have a letter in the infonnation packet that came from someone in Denver. II addresses
the noise issue and these big booming. booming. booming. She said she feels there is a health issue involved and
she would really like to see us look into that. She said she has mentioned it before and is not sure whal the right
thing to do is. but feels it is problematic. She said she wonders if it affects people with pace makers.
Mayor Burns said we do have a noise ordinance. and the letter was a little bit strong. Ms. Habenicht said she does
not agree with the letter per se. but feels it is an issue and would like to see us look at it.

Council Member Grazulis said especially those who live arow1CI stop signs. where ii is there for a longer while than
just passing through.
Ms. Habenichl said this pulsating can get things rattling. like an eanhquake .
• * * * *
Council Member Grazulis said she docs not know "''1131 the policy is regarding the blackened windshields and what
the law is. At one time it used to be not the front windshields. just the back ones. and now there are more and more
~rs where you can not see the driver. With today 's situations. that could be very dangerous. she said. and she was
just wondering what the regulations were regarding that in Englewood .
Mayor Bums said it is an issue and a little disconcening to look into a car where you can not tell what the dri ve r is
looking at. whether he sees you or not.
City Manager Sears said we can do some follow up. Lieutenant Wicks said he would research it and gel back 10
them.
(a) City Ma1iagcr Sears reponcd on 1he rcdevelopmenl of Cinderella Cil y. He said 1hc lwin T's have

(a) Lany Nisbet of the Englewood Public Schools. said he just wanted to bring Council u p
to date on what is happening in the school district. He advised that the community passed a S2 7 m1lh on
bond referendum to suppon the refurbishing of the schools and funher their progression in technology He
reponed that S22 million of those bonds were sold in Janua,y at a very favorable rate . We immediatel y
began work on identifying companies thal could help with the project. he said. and that work . after
extensive investigation and interview processes. has resulted in the selection of Sverdrup CRSS. a
management planning group that manages construction projects . They are master planners and
construction managers for the upcoming bond work . Mr. Nisbet added that he has never run into a mo re
organized group in his entire life . We have an oversight group that is representative of the entire
community, which meets once a month. he continued, and receives an update and oversees what is
happening with the bond work . We also have an oversight committee with ciuzens and staff at each sne. he
advised. who are . currently. meeting as much as twice a week with architects to develop the schemati c
drawings and move forward with the projects. It is most exciting. he said. and the information supplied 10
Council is a very small piece of the outcome of a planning session to determine the go.ls and objectiYC s for
the bond work . Mr. Nisbet felt Council would find them quite comprehensive and logical. Six top goals
were identified. he stated. The first is quality over quantity. when possible. construction would be what we
told the public . We arc very serious about keeping that covenant with the public. he s.1id. and that is "hy
we have multi-layered oversight committees represented by citizens. Other goals arc to produce cost
effective operations and minimize disruptions to our educational programs. he said. adding that CRSS
believes that it is to our advantage in this community to move forward as rapidly as we can witlt the
planning phase and the development phase. We were originally tl1inking it would take up to tliree years to
do this project, he advised. but we are going to try to finish it in a year and a half. :;o tl1ere will be a lot of
intensive work going on at each of the school sites . They have begun the planning and tlte schematic
process. with the hopes of releasing lite work for bid by October or November of this coming fall. and
begiMing construction shortly thereafter . Mr. Nisbet stated that Englc\\ood will probably alter tJ1cir schoo l
calendar for the year 2000-200 I . most likely because th~ want a very lon g window m tJ1e sununcr aflcr
this one. We will probably go back to what was a traditional calendar man~ ~ ears ago. staning school. m
all likelihood, after Labor Day. and ending later in JW1c tlian we have for many ~cars . he said . That woul d
give us a full three-month window for major construction to take place . The, will begin tlu s spring and
summer with some emergency type work. there are some leaky roofs and some ADA !lungs that need to be
accomplished in some of our schools to accommodate students who will be arrn;ng next year wuh some
rather severe problems. That is where we are . at this point, he concluded. He recognized that CoWlcil 1s
used to releasing bids and overseeing some construction tltings that arc gomg on m the commW11ty . and this
is ortly going to compound thar work . he said . He allowed that ii will be qwte hecuc . Mr . Nisbet said he
has been appoinled by the Board to be tl1c liaison with all lite construction \\Ork.. bond work . and work \\1th
community agencies. He said he has already been in contacl witlt Director Black m tenns of how tl1e y \\111
coordinate recreation programs. and otlter depanmenrs in lite City t1iat can be helpful and need to be a\\arc
of whal is going on as we work aroWld our various sites. He said he could. perhaps. come back on a
somewhat regular basis 10 updare CoWlcil .
Ciry Manager Scars asked who tl1e contracror will be. Mr. Nisbet said the contracrors have not been hi.red
yet. He repealed thar lite managemenr team is Sverdrup CRSS. He said he should liavc mentioned tliat
three architccrural !inns were hired. DLR Group. who will be handling the middle school projects . Also .
Dulaney Architects, and, he interjected. Dan Dulaney lives in Englewood. and has quite a background.
particularly. in elementary school development. and he will be doing our elementary schools. lltc third
firm is H & L Archilecture. he said. Each of rhe three firms selccred to design the project has a different
package . CRSS thought it would be helpful. he advised , to break our projects down into smaller packages.
rather than SIO or S 11 million packages. down into S5 and S6 million packages. 1l1ey feel. with the
amoWlt of building going on in Colorado. tl1cy will be able lo draw to us some construction firms that are
of a size that they will be co1nfonable witlt the projects and in tWle with what is happening in the
community. That is why tl1ey believe we can compress tllis down into a shoner time period and use
smaller packages to get good bids and good conlractors.

Mayor Bums commen1ed Iha! he went lo lhe fair again !his year at Chem:lyn. on Saturday. for their school
He said he was lalking to Vickie Mohr. lhe principal. about whether the school population was going up.
Ms . Moore said she wished it was going up. She said we see a lot more toddlers arowid than in the past
few years. She added that. as they gel into lhe system. she wished we could keep !hem . Mayor Bums said
Iha! is lhe age old problem of the housing. and !his has happened over and over in Englewood. As lhese
families g,ow, !hey move out. and we really have a challenge with our Rehab Loan program and other
things that are going to happen around !he Ci1yCen1er project. to improve the housing stock in the
community. He said Ms. Moore felt lhal we stan them ouL but they don·1 end here. they don ·1 get to the
high school. and !hat has been a long-standing problem.
Mr. Nisbet agreed. He said ii has been like !he proverbial rat going through the snake. it Stans out a pretty
big bulge. but as it works its way through lhe snake. ii stans getting smaller and smaUer. One of the trends
we are seeing. he said, is Iha! !he redcvcloprncnl of Englewood is already starting 10 have an impact
Unfonunatcly for us. ii is an impact in a little different direction. in that land prices in Englewood arc
swting 10 go up. in anticipation of quality things happening in !his community. The young staner fantilies
are having uouble getting in now. Mr. Nisbet said he believes that will level out and take care of nsclf in
time. but he feels we will go through some difficult times in the near future with re gard to enrollment and
the budget is being built on the basis of one hundred fewer st1Jden1s next fall .
Mavor Bums said one other thing, which is a little bit off this subject . is that he ran into Charles Holmes
last week and they were lalking about !he beautification project on South Broadway. He said he 1alkcd to
him about Flood Middle School and that norlh pan up there. and asked him if there was an~ kmd of
budgetary process for combining with the City and its work on Broadway to help beautify that com er a
little more.
Mr. Nisbet agreed that it is a little Slark . He said they have plans in the bond to replace that \"Cry slamed
and broken and cracking concrete that holds up lhe basis of that fence around. what used to be. playground
area and tennis courts. lllat will be replaced and should make it look somewhat better. he said. but maybe
!here are other things we could take a look at mutually. he said. If tliat is a topic we should pursue together.
he said he would be happy 10 lalk to City Manager Sears.
Mayor Bums said An Scibelli would be happy to do that on our NBD staff. as he is doing some great work .
He said he would put in another pitch for some grant money to redo the bridge O\"er Highway 285. because
we have been !alking about that for a couple of years. Mayor Bums opined that it would be great ,f we
could combine our efforts right !here at !hat location to beautify that area
Mr. Nisbet said he would get a hold of Mr. Scibelli and begin some conversation about the possi bility that
we might do something jointly there.
Mayor Bums congratulated Mr. Nisbet on the project and !hanked him for coming. Mr. Nisbet said it will
keep them pretty busy for the next year and a half. and invited Cowicil 10 call him with any questions they
may have.
7 . Non-scheduled Visiton
(a) James Coleman, 4320 South Pennsylvania Street. said he is a long time citizen of
Englewood. He said he would like to place on the ballot of November. 1999. an amendment to reform the
qualifications of City Council Members. In the Home Rule Charter. Section 23. it states ·'no person shall

the United Slates. at least twenty-five years of age. and shall have been for one year immediately preceding
such election. a registered elector of the City." Mr. Coleman said he proposes to lower the age
qualification to twenty-one. As the population of the City of Englewood grows. the average age of the
citizens seems 10 drop. He said he feels ii is pertinent Iha! younger citizens are properly represented. and it
is also important 10 give every capable candidate the opponunity 10 serve as a City Council Member of

(ii) Director Simpson presented a recommendation from the Deparunent of

Englewood Municipal Code to include Parks. Recreation. and Open Space Zone District. Mr . Simpson
asked that a Public Hearing be set for June 7, 1999 to recei\'e public testimony on the proposed ordinance.

changes and those issues can be considered al that time.
COUNCil. BILL NO. 33. INrRODUCED BY COUNCIL MEMBER BRADSHAW
A BILL FOR AN ORDINANCE AMENDING TITT.E 16 . CHAPTER 8. AND CHAPTER 4 . WITH THE
ADDmON OF A NEW SECTION 22. ENTJTI.ED ·'PARKS. RECREATION AAU OPEN SPACE
DISTRICr.n TO THE ENGLEWOOD MUNICIPAL CODE 1985.
COUNCIL MEMBER BRADSHAW MOVED, AND IT WAS SECONDED, TO APPROVE
CONSENT AGENDA ITEM 10 (a) (ii) ON FIRST READING, AND TO SET A PUBLIC HEARING
FOR JUNE 7, 1999 TO CONSIDER PUBLIC TESTIMONY ON THE PROPOSED ORDINANCE.
COUNCIL MEMBER WAGGONER MOVED, AND IT WAS SECONDED. TO AMEND
COUNCIL BILL NO. ll BY DELETING THE LAST SENTENCE IN §16-4-22 D.
Council Member Waggoner explained that tJ1e sentence says tJ1e developmen1 re,ie" team shall submn a
wrinen advisory repon and recommendalion to the Planning and Zoning Commission for re,,e" and
recommendations after a public hearing.
Council Member Bradshaw asked if that elimination is tJ1e Parks and Recreation recommendation. Mr .
Waggoner answered affirmatively.
Mayor Bums asked if we have already been through that. Director Simpson said ~ cs. tJ1e process for this
ordinance was that staff took the original ordinance to tJ1e Planning Commission and got tJ1cir input. We
prepared an ordinance. in draft fonn. took it to the Parks and Recreation Commission. received their inpuL
and then proceeded through the official process wi1h the Planning Commission. in which they made some
amendments to the draft and approved it in this fonn you see tonight.
Mayor Bums said. if you have a development review team. as he understands iL normally in tJ1e zoning
process. the development review team normally does repon. Mr. Simpson said that is correct. lllis issue.
he feels. is that it mUSL even with that report. go back for a public hearing with the Planning Commission .
Council Member Waggoner said it was felt by tJ1e Parks and Recreation Commission tJ1at it would add at
least another three months to the time line and that tJ1ey felt it was totally unnecessary. Parks and
Recreation is really the one that does most of the work on iL
Mayor Bums asked if he was concerned about the public hearing itself. and whether he could just strike
that instead of the whole sentence. Mr. Waggoner said tJ1ey wanted tJ1e whole sentence struck
Director Simpson said the Parks and Recreation wanted the entire sentence stricken from this ordinance .
Mayor Bums said it Slates that tJie development review team shall. on a case by case basis. consider
impacts of the proposal. and so fonh. Then it says they shall tJ1en submit a written advisory report and
recommendation. If they don't submit that. he asked. what is the result of their analysis?
Director Simpson said. perhaps. a wrinen report could be prepared from that analysis and forwarded to both
the Parks and Recreation Commission and to the Planning Commission .

Council Member Waggoner said time in the sense of the hearing.

Mayor Bums said he was just speaking generally the way that these zoning things do If you have
development review teams. a review team is very common for a ciry . and tha1 means your dcparunen1
beads normally.
Director Simpson said the way a private application comes in is simply that it comes in. ii 1s m i ewed by
the development review team. which is composed of Public Works. Utilities. Planning. Buildin g. all of
those groups . Each group checks and reviews all of the regulations of each indi vidual area 10 make sure
tha1 things have been addressed.
Mayor Bums said as long as they do thaL he is satisfied. Council Member Waggone r sai d 1ha1 1s lh c
normal process anyway.
Council Member Bradshaw said this is sa)i ng that that is the process. period. without anolher hearing.
Mayor Bums said without another repon .
Director Simpson said. with the elimination of the sentence, ii saves time in tha1 you don ·t have to go back
through the Planning Commission for tha1 public review. A public hearing would require notification . legal
notice and all that.
Mayor Bums said he just wanted to be sure the lcam is able to do its work and is not cut off al some poin t
Mr. Simpson said he appreciates that

(ii) Council Member Bradshaw:
I. She said she had some minor zoning infractions. whkh she passed along to City Manager Scars.
2. She advised Council Member Waggoner that the Non-emergency meeting \\Ould be a week from
this Th~y to deal with the DROP Program. She said she wanted him to know that tJiat is mo,ing right
along. Council Member Waggoner said very good. He asked if it will still be efTecth e Jam1al)· I . M s
Bradshaw said yes. it will go back. She added tJiat tJ1e Board liad been liaving a hard time gctUng together.
3. She asked if the Council Members had read tJ1e Library Board minutes. She said she got confused
on the space for the Englewood Historical Society . She said she tJ1ougl11 Council said tJ1erc "ould a h,ays
be space for the Englewood Historical Society in tJ1e Library.
Council Member Grazulis said the space is divided up bemcen tJ1e Friends of the L1bra1'. "ho had no
space. and the Englewood Historical Society.
Council Member Nabholz said the minutes said it \\Ould be temporary for tJ1c Hist o n cal Society Ms
Grazulis said, looking at the plans. it is divided in half.
Council Member Habenicht said she accompanied tJ1e Cultural Arts Commission 10 a L1bra1'· Board
meeting, when the Book Arts League. and other groups. talked about looking for space m the L1bra1'. One
of the things that came up. she said. was that there was a real concern over the space that "e had designated
for the Historical Society to have office space in the Libr.l1'' itself. in the board room area. It liad never
been communicated to the Council was that the Friends of the Libral)' group was plarmmg to do major
programming kinds of things along with that space. There was a real sense. as the L1bra1' Board was
talking about ii. especially the most newly appointed Library Board member. that they "ere very concerned
about giving space to one group and not the other. Especially. she said. when the one group is out tJ1erc
building resources for the Library. and can ·t have any space there. and another group tJiat is a non-profit
group. not contributing to that would have space.
Council Member Bradshaw said Council directed Mr . Long to find space for both. and he didn ·1. Mayor
Bums and Ms. Habenicht said he did. Ms. Bradshaw said no. he put tJ1em both in tJ1e same place. and tliat
is not what we asked him to do. Council Member Nabholz agreed.
Ms. Habenicht said tJ1ere was another meeting the next day. where she spoke with someone from the
Historical Society. and asked if they were. indeed. looking at having that space all the time. or 1f tJ1ey were
looking at putting office space in the Depot. 1l1ey said they were looking at putting office space. and tJtis
was Les Jenkins that I talked with. he said tJ1ey were really. primarily. concerned about their storage space.
She said she asked Director Long about tJ1e storage space. and he said. no . as far as he was concerned. the
storage space was always being provided. but not by the Library. but in that extra storage space was where
it was being contained.
Council Member Bradshaw said he is playing a shell game. because this Council directed him to find 700
square feet for tJ1e Historical Society in the Library.
Council Member Habenicht explained that she was invited to auend the Historical Society meeting. by Les
Jenkins. We talked about the concern that was expressed by the Library Board members. she said. and the
Friends of the Library said they did not go and lobby tJ1e Council and the Historical Society did. It was

starting to become a debate. an issue. where it did not need to be . As the people started to lalk, and the
people lalked with Director Long and with the Historical Society, and with the Library Board. there seemed
to be a recognition that space can be accommodated as space becomes more available. ln terms of the
Historical Society or even the Skerritt House. as all of these things become available. we can look at
providing appropriate space for all of these groups in the right place. Another thing that came out of tltis
was the fact that the Historical Society was interested in renting out the basement of the Depot. As "e
started to discuss this, it came out that they had 2.300 square feet in the basement of the Depot. lltis Book
Arts League and all of the programs thal they had. their five groups. the Calligraphers· Sociel)·. the Lener
Press Society. and all that. they need 1600 square feet . 1bc Historical Society. for their office space. and
wanting to go through their collection and getting their collection ready. it would be much better for them
on-site anyway, would be the rest of that spaa:. So wc have a meeting coming up this Wednesday. which
will pull together representatives from the Library Board. the Historical Society. from the Friends of the
Library, from the Cultural Ans Commission and from the Book Ans League, to talk about how tltis space
can be accommodated for everybody so that evel)'body is in a win-win situation.
Council Member Bradshaw said the minutes cenainly did not state that. and that is where she got confused.
Council Member Nabholz said she thinks this meeting is Jong overdue. because it is almost an us-against-
them mentality .
Council Member Grazulis said it was becoming a very heated discussion . She said she did auend the last
Library meeting, which was on the 11th. and there were some new reflections for some space for the
Friends of the Library plus the Historical Society. which will be presented.
Council Member Bradshaw said okay, because that is basically what this Council had directed Director
Long to do at the beginning, and then it would disappear off of one of Tryba · s things and now it is back .
Mayor Bums said he thinks it kind of came back in. but he felt that the problem was being solved in tl1e
best way, which is by working with each other.
4. Council Member Bradshaw spoke of the graffiti on the old Norwest site on Hampden, by the
Rehab Hospital run by Swedish. She said those blue poles where the sign used to be. are constantly being
painted.
City Manager Sears asked if this was next to the garden center. Ms. Bradshaw said no. it is where the
drive-in bank was. Council Member Nabholz said tl1e sports medicine center. Ms. Bradshaw said yes.
Mayor Bums asked if something was happening at the old garden center. He said he saw some street work
being done . Mr. Sears said he thinks they sold that parcel off. as he understands iL from Swedish. but he is
not sure what kind of use is going up there. He said he knows. from talking to Swedish officials. that they
were having that go for sale. Mayor Bums said he would be interested in kno"ing what is going on over
there .
5. Council Member Bradshaw said she would like to thank our staff for working so well ~
and Associates. ~
City Manager Sears said it was a great idea, and we have met wit11 t11em and hopefully they will connect.
They certainly are a sizeable firm that would be an asset. he said.
6 . She suggested that. at a later date. Council needs to review some of the contracts with our
consultants that wc have hired, in Executive Session under personnel matter. She said at the earliest
possible date wc probably need to take a look at that.

I . She asked when the next submissions to fill commission vacancies would occur. Council Member
Nabholz said June. Council Member Gra7..ulis said. besides Code Enforcement we arc going to be having
an upcoming vacancy in the Library.
2. She said she a11ended a computer class this last week by the City . She said she did not reali ze the~

she was not hooked up to e-lll3ll wnhm the City. so she had no idea that all these e-mails come in every
day .
Council Member Bradsliaw asked Cowic1I if they have e-mail directories witJ1 their computers. She said
she does not have one. Cowici l Member Habenicht said she has not been able to get into the City e-mail.
they fixed it and then II did not work . Cowicil Member Grazulis said she lias one and the directo~ comes
on the scn:en.
City Manager S= said then we have not really followed up. Ms. Habenicht said it was her fault beca use
she did not follow-up the follow-up It was supposed to be working and it wasn ·1.
Mayor Bums said he !Junks tJ1e menu has a list Ms. Bradshaw said yes. if)OU have an IBM . It's not o n
the software for Mac
City Manager S= sa1d we w1II do some follow-up and send a note out .
(iv) Council Member Waggoner said he had a call from Richard Edsall at "2 95
SoutJt Franklin. Cowic1I Member Bradshaw said she did also. Mr. Waggoner gave Mr. Edsall's phone
number to City Manager Sears. He said he lias talked to Assistant Cluef Moore. and he has talked to ancy
Wilson . Mr. Waggoner said he guessed tJ~ have g1, en him a bunch of violation nouces. and he says we
are harassing him and spending mo~ foolishly by ha,1ng them out there all tJ1e time. and it is unnecessary
enforcement. If we keep it up. he 1s gomg to de-Bruce the de-Brucing. since we ha,·e already spent so
much money . He said he cuts grass for someone somewhere else. and we made her take her rhubarb plants.
that were by the fence. out of the alley
Council Member Bradshaw encouraged Mr Waggoner to go b) the Edsall propcn) on Franklin and Flo~d .
Director Olson asked 1f he could respond to tJ~11 He said he ga, e Mr Edsall a call tonight already. We
liavc dealt witJ1 him before. he advised . and he has come before the Code Enforcement Advisor)' Board to
plead his case. He said he !Junks they heard 111111 and said tJiank ) cu He ltas also been before tJ1e Judge for
issues he has had before. so we declared him a nuisance last )ear. He said he agrees w~th Council Member
Bradshaw. He said he drove by there tonight and it is pren) apparent why they are over there consistently.
His property is not compatible at all with the otJ1cr propcnies III tJiat area. he advised . Mr. Olson said he
told Mr. Edsall that he would look at the issues. but promised him nothing. He told him he had to look at
both sides of what was going on over there. and maybe we could "ork on something. Mr. Edsall was
complaining that a fence builder said "oh my God. Engle"ood··. because he wants to put a fence i1L so he
automatically assumed he could not put in a fence to hide all this stuff. Even with tJ1e fence . he is still
responsible for what is inside the fence . Mr. Olson stated He said he is dealing with him. but he ltas a
history with us. Mr. Edsall has concerns. and we "ill deal "itJi tJ1cm as much as we ca1L but the reality is
the problems you will see as you drive by there are not compatible "ith our ordinances. Mr. Olson said he
would let Council know in a follow-up what is going on.
(v) Council Member Habenicht :

2 . She said she had a call today from a citizen who was concerned about the DRCOG meeting
coming up and some of the concerns about lhe transit versus the highway . She shared that. unless Council
would direct her to do otherwise. she would strongly suppon the actions DRCOG has taken in the past.
Which indicates that. while we arc not opposed to any highway construction that. prior 10 budgetary
concerns, might have been developed and giving money back. that we have been committed 10 the transit
Ms. Habenicht said she would be voting in that direction. She said she feels it follows through with our
commitment to the other municipalities that we have worked wi th as we worked toward the development of
the Southwest Corridor. Unless there is any objection. she said. that is the way I \\i ll proceed.
Mayor Bums advised that lhe paper said DRCOG is being asked to vote on the increase m funding for the
highway lanes. He said he talked to the director of the Colorado Association of Transit Agencies abou t
Senate Bill 40 and House Bill 1382 . where Tom Nonon of COOT wanted 10 be able 10 go around RTD and
get direct federal funding . Mayor Bums said. as he understands. they did not qwtc 1hmk 1ha1 through . TI1c
transit agencies in all different parts of the state are designated by the Governor to rccCI\ c funds for 1he1r
area. The reason why lhey did that. and I discussed this wi tl1 Cal Marsella this mornin g. he S31d . is so we
have one proposal from each municipalit~·. not tlirec or four . So \\hen they purponcd to go around RTD m
the Southeast Corridor they affected every other transit agency in tl1c State. he said. and have now managed
to alienate all of them. Some of these arc just pure power plays. he opmed. "h1ch. as you may have seen in
the paper last week. the Federal Transit Administration came out and sai d last "eek not to do tliat. We
have plenty of money back here that otl1cr people can take. but ~ ou arc gomg to have to work together and
cooperate. So that is a real problem. he said. as there is a cenam amount of po" e r struggle going on t!L1t is
not constructive for the Southeast Corridor or even tlic Metro Area. He said the !\.1etro Mayors arc going to
try to meet with Tom Nonon and with the Governor in the next few weeks and talk to them about it too.
The Mayors came out very strongly opposed to that and Rm did not see it commg. TI1ey did not know
that that was going to be dropped on tl1em . he said. II JUSI created a lot of rescnune nt and co ntroversy tliat
was not necessary, he assencd. But it has affected all the other transn agencies in the state.
Council Member Habenicht said she just felt she should let Council know" here we \\ere and where she
intends to go with that. Mayor Bums said he appreciates tlL11.
3 . She said there is graffiti. also. at what used 10 be Front Range Pl ating o n Navajo. II is vacant ri ght
now. she thought. but we really need to look at tliat. Ms. Habenicht ad,ised they have taken the riame off.
Mayor Bums said it is just north of Tufts on the east side. He suggested that C1~ Manager Sears check to
see what is happening with that propeny.
4 . She said the Englewood Postmaster was concerned about some concrete work on Broa dway and
Lehigh. She said she would call City Manager Sears witl1 his 1131ne .
5. She said she has had SC\'Cral people approach her about our gun la\\S in Englewood. and tlial tl1e y
arc not compatible with the gun laws in Denve r . TI1ey are really concerned about the fact tl1a1 we allow the
sale of handguns and assault weapons and tl1ey do not in Denver. She said there is some real concern that
that is sending the wrong message. especially in light of the youth and having guns. She said she echoes
what Council Member Nabholz said and would like lo see us look into that and see where we are
compatible and where we are not and what we need to be doing so that we are sending tl1e right message
with our ordinances.
Mayor Bums said he thinks the gun bills in the Legislature would have trumped that. City Attorney
Brotzman agreed. Mayor Bums said they will be back next year. Ms. Habenicht said if there is anything
we need to do about that. we need to be responsive.
6 . She asked if Council decided about going to CML Conference. She said she was intending to go .
City Mariager Sears said we have not filled an)1hing out on that yet. but we have the brochures .

Mayor Bums said he wanted the mention that. at the same time. he was earning his pay at a six hour
Firefighters' Pension Board hearing regarding the application of a retired volunteer firefighter for a

Council Member Habenicht said she has not heard this for a long time . but there have been a number of
groups within the community. some of our service clubs. that would like to have some son of a welcome to
Englewood. like you have in small towns . Something attractive . and one of the things we keep hearing is
that we have this wonderful small town atmosphere . and that is just one of those things that could maybe
help state that more clearly .
Mayor Bums suggested that An Scibelli would be a good person to talk .
City Man:iger Sears said there are a couple of places on Hampden and Broadway where that type of sign
could be placed. We will investigate that, he said .

(a) City Manager Sears said that Council Member Nabholz was being too modest . She did a
good job the other night. too. There were a lot of people here, he said. adding that he was surprised t11e
whole room was filled up .
Mayor Burns said if it wasn't for Council Member Nabholz. we probably would not be buying the house ,
either.

times . It was a great time to be off .

(c) City Manager Scars advised thal we arc having some concerns ~ith Arapahoe House.
They an: changing things and we arc working with them because of weekend types of issues. We have
some public meetings coming up and they suggesled having a Council liaison. He said that AssiS1ant City
Manager Flaherty will be the liaison out of the City Manager" s office. Mr. Sears said he spoke with
Council Member Garren about this. because he was a former member of the Board. although he cum:ntly is
oot a member. Mr. Garren said 1h11 he would be willing to be the liaison if Council suggested thal but he
also felt that. because of his background. if there was a feeling that he should nol that would be fine. too .
Mayor Bums and members of Council expressed approval of Mr. Garrett 's appointment to the liaison
position.
(d) City Manager Scars said he attended a CML policy meeting last week and it was very
informative. He said he has the policy Slatemcnt coming to Council. we an: copying that off. It is the
normal annual policy Slalemcnt. but this year in panicular the Legislature was difficult. Actually. he said.
Ibey went into a discussion about what was ~rong in terms of working with the local state representatives
and senators. II appears. for the most part. their feeling was thal the senators and representatives arc talking
to the citizens. Ibey an: really DOI talking to the local elected people. They are going to try to make some
effort to sec, Slatewide. how to plug back local elected and the representatives. 111is is something that we
might want to think about here, he said. The real focus was on local control and having the local entity
make the decisions that you feel is best for your community. and not having that second guessed at the
State Legislature, as much as it was this lasl year. Mr. Sears said he would give Council the policy
Slatemcnts. because it really docs reflect the Colorado Municipal League's viewpoint on issues such as gun
control, growth. urban n:newaJ and all those other things. He said he knows this will be a pretty big topic
up at the CML Conference this SU1M1Cr.
Mayor Bums said. when he attended the session they had for mayors several weeks ago. Sam Man1e1 said
in twenty years he has never bad a tougher time with the Legislature trying to represent municipalities. He
said there was very little respect paid to municipaliues by a lot of the Legislature.

Comprehensive Zoning
Ordinance Amendment -
June 7 , 1999 9a PROS (Parks , Recreation and
Open Space Zone District)
Initiated By
Neighborhood and Business Development

Tricia Langon. Planner
COUNCIL GOAL AND PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION
Council considered the proposed enactment of the PROS Parks , Recreation and Open Space Zone
District of the Englewood Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance on first reading on May 17 , 1999. At that
time the proposed Ordinance was amended to remove the requirement for a public hea ri ng before the
Planning and Zoning Commission . Council set the public hearing for the amended Ord inance for June
7, 1999.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends that Council consider testimony during the Public Hearing on the proposed
enactment of the PROS Parks, Recreation and Open Space Zone District as Section 18 of Chapter 4
of the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance.
BACKGROUND, ANALYSIS, AND ALTERNATIVES IDENTIFIED
City Council directed the Office of Neighborhood and Business Development to draft a Parks ,
Recreation and Open Space zone district ordinance as part of the Comprehensive Zon ing Ordinance of
the Englewood Municipal Code.
The Planning and Zoning Commission and Englewood Parks and Recreation Commission reviewed an
initial draft in January 1999. The Parks and Recreation Commission again reviewed the ordinance on
April 8, 1999 , and moved to recommend that City Council approve enactment of the proposal (See
Attachment C). The recommendation did not require a public hearing before the Planning and Zoning
Commission .
The Planning and Zoning Commission held a Public Hearing on April 20, 1999, to consider enactment
of PROS : Parks , Recreation and Open Space Zone District to the Englewood Comprehensive Zoning
Ordinance. The Planning Commission recommended a public hearing of future park development
before the Planning and Zoning Commission be included in the proposed ordinance within Subsection
D, Development Standards and Site Plan. The Planning Commission further recommended
modification of the definition of Development Review Team to comply with the City Attorney's request.
The proposal was forwarded to South Suburban Park and Recreation District for review and comment.
David Lorenz, Executive Director, provided no written comment to the proposed Ordinance .

The proposed Ordinance adds Section 18: PROS Parks, Recreation and Open Space District as a
new zone district to Chapter 4 of Title 16: Zoning Regulations . It establishes the District within the
Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance. The new zone district is intended to reinforce Englewood's existing
park system . New park development should reflect the community, based upon an inclusive design
process. Parks are lands permanently established and designated by Ordinance . Public open space
is land that has not been formally designated by ordinance and can include greenbelts, and lands used
for active recreation or set aside for habitat conservation . The administration of park and recreation
sites and facilities remains a function of Parks and Recreation Department. The proposal also amends
16-8-1 : Definitions (See Attachment A).
The proposed Ordinance requires rezoning of existing park, recreation and open space sites, and a
new Official Zoning Map. After the effective date of the Ordinance , staff will begin the rezoning
process. The rezoning of existing park, recreation and open space areas must comply with requirements
and procedures found in Chapter 3, Initial Zoning of Property, Rezoning, Changes and Amendments
Procedures, of Title 16, Zoning Regulations. The anticipated rezoning process completion date would be
approximately six to nine months after the effective date of the Ordinance.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
There are no financial impacts of enacting the PROS District ordinance as part of the Englewood
Municipal Code . However, the rezoning of existing park, recreation and open space sites to the District
will require legal descriptions and surveys of the approximate twenty (20) sites proposed for rezoning .
Parks and Recreation and Neighborhood and Business Development are preparing an inventory of
necessary documents. In some cases new legal descriptions may be needed, as some sites have been
created over the years from multiple parcel aggregation .

June 7, 1999
Dear Mayor Bums, Council and Committee Members:
·.
P .02
I am writing in ragard to Council Bill No. 24 which prohibits the sale of
aeroeol paint, markers and paint sticks to minors; sets a prudent display
standard for retailers aelHng these producta; and establishes the
responsibility of parents in regard to graffiti vandalism by juveniles.
Earlier this year, we had the privilege of meeting with Englewood police
and code enforcement officers and, later, with the Code Enforcement
Advisory Committee to dlscull these ialues.
It is heartening to see that many of their program recommendations have
prog1'8188d to legislative fonn.
Should you enact this ordinance, the Anti-Graffiti Project would be happy
to help in its implementation by providing retailer education and training
materials to effect compliance with the ban on sale to minors and to
assure the proper uae of effective theft prevention techniques. We also
stand ready to provide whatever other help we can toward making your
anti-graffiti program a succesa. sz~

In addition to the license fee for the HoteVRestaurant license , the State charges $75 .00 per year for
each additional optional premise. Cities, however, are not allowed to charge a license fee in addition to
the city HoteVRestaurant license fee .
Even adding optional premises to an existing HoteVRestaurant License requires special legislation by
the local licensing authority. This is the same prerequisite , mentioned above , applicable also to the
Optional Premises License .
MINI BAA PERMIT
The Mini Bar Permit allows a hotel to sell alcohol beverages in sealed containers , at any time , by
means of a mini bar located in hotel guest rooms, to adult, registered guests of the hotel , for
consumption in such guest rooms. A hotel is not required to obtain a Mini Bar Permit for the rooms
located on the same licensed premises for which the HoteVRestaurant License is issued. However,
§12-47-411(3)(c) CRS, allows a hotel, with a HoteVRestaurant License , to enter into a contract with a
nearby lodging facility for the purpose of authorizing such lodging facility to sell malt, vinous and
spirituous liquors by means of mini bars, if such lodging facility and hotel share common
ownership and are located within one thousand feet of each other.
BED AND BREAKFAST PERMIT
Establishments holding a Bed and Breakfast Permit must adhere to the following:
a) Not more that 20 sleeping rooms
b) Complimentary alcohol beverages may be served to overnight guests only
c) Must provide at least one meal a day at no extra cost
d) Must designate hours in which complimentary alcohol will be served (not
to exceed 4 hours a day)
e) May not HI! alcohol beverages
Currently, Bed and Breakfasts would only be allowed in the B-1 and B-2 zone districts in Englewood ,
which is not where you would typically find them . It is our understanding that the 1999 zoning
ordinance may contain a specific allowance for Bed and Breakfasts in the R-3 zone district .

Subject Proposed ordinance
setting a ballot question
regarding Liquor Occupation
Taxes
' .
Frank Gryglewicz, Director of Financial Services
Liquor Licensing Authority and Brenda Castle , Deputy City Clerk
COUNCIL GOAL AND PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION
Council reviewed this recommendation at the February 8 , 1999 Study Session .
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Council approval of a bill for an ordinance submitting to a vote of the registered electors of the City of
Englewood , at the next scheduled General Municipal Election , November 2 , 1999, a TABOR question
establishing an annual Occupational Tax for each of the following classifications of license :
Brew Pub License $750.00
$650.00 Optional Premises License
Optional Premises with H/R license
Mini Bar Permit
$100.00 for each optional premise
$450 .00
The other category, Bed and Breakfast Permit, would not be included in the ballot question . As
discussed at the February 8, 1999 Study Session, no Occupational Tax is recommended for this
category, since alcohol is not sold, but served only to guests of the Bed and Breakfast for four hours a
day. The four separate categories of licenses and permits are explained in the attachments .
If the question is approved by the voters, council bills will be presented to Council for consideration.
amending the Englewood Municipal Code 1985 to include the Occupational Taxes for each new
classification and establishing an Optional Premises License , as required by State Statute .
BACKGROUND, ANALYSIS, AND ALTERNATIVES IDENTIFIED
Under TABOR, approval of a new Occupational Tax must be obtained from the voters .
In 1987, the term "Occupational Fee" was changed to "Occupational Tax" (via City of Englewood
Ordinance 19, Series of 1987). This was deemed advantageous, at the time, due to the limits placed
on municipalities by the State in assessing certain fees .
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Each of the fees listed above would be received yearly from each licensee holding that type of license.
Currently, the City realizes approximately $27,700.00 a year in liquor occupational taxes .

BREW PUB LICENSE
Th is is a relatively new classification of liquor license , created in 1996 through House Bill 1168.
Previously , Brew Pubs were allowed by the State when a licensee obtained certain multiple licenses ,
including a Hotel and Restaurant License and a Manufacturer's License. The new Brew Pub License
simplified the process by requiring only one license , and requires approval through the local liquor
licensing authority prior to consideration by the State . The applicat ion process is the same as for other
classifications of liquor licenses.
Under the new statutes, Brew Pubs can be described as follows :
a) May manufacture not more than 1.86 million gallons of malt liquor on-premises each year .
b) May self-distribute up to 300,000 gallons of their own product per year.
c) May sell their own product to off-premises consumers during the same hours as reta il
liquor stores , 8:00 a.m . to midnight, every day except Sundays and Christmas .
d) May sell their own product and any other malt, vinous and spirituous liquor by the dr ink
on-premises from 7 :00 a.m . to 2 :00 a.m . 365 days a year .
e) Must sell full meals , equaling at least 15 % of their gross income , from
8 :00 am. to 8 :00 p .m .
OPTIONAL PREMISES
There are two types of "optional premises" under the Colo rado Liquor Code . The first is the Opt iona l
Premises License, This is a separate license, just like any other liquor license (e .g . tavern , beer and
wine , etc.). The second is the "optional premises" which can be added to an existing hotel and
restaurant liquor license .
The first type, Optional Premises License. can be issued only to license an outdoor sports and
recreational facility . Golf courses , tennis clubs, and outdoor swimming pools are facilit ies that would be
eligible for this type of license . Because the Optional Premises License is a separate and distinct
license, a person holding this type of license can not also hold a tavern , hotel/restaurant, liquor store ,
or any other class of liquor license . A person could , however , hold an Optional Premises License and ,
at the same time, hold one or more 3.2 beer licenses for other locations .
The Optional Premises License allows the sale and service of repeal beer (6 % or higher alcohol
content), wine, and spirits within the licensed area . No food service is requ ired , although the Optional
Premises licensee may offer food if he/she desires . Hours of sale and service are the same as for
taverns and on-premises liquor licenses : 7:00 a.m. to 2:00 a .m ., 365 days a year .
The State and City license fees are the same as those charged for a Hotel and Restaurant Liquor
License .
No Optional Premises License can be issued unless the local licensing authority (i.e . city or county)
has enacted special legislation to permit optional premises . Such legislation usually will specify such
basic requirements as the permissible sizes of the licensed areas , the types of facilities eligible for the
license, and other control measures .
The second type of "optional prem ises" is that which can be added to an existing Hotel/Restaurant
License . This species of optional premises is not a separate license ; it merely serves to add outdoor
facilities to the existing license. The Hotel/Restaurant License is extended to cover the optional
premises in addition to the areas already licensed under the Hotel/Restaurant License. Therefore ,
there are no changes in hours of service, food service, or any of the existing requirements provided by
the current license. The licensed premises merely is expanded in size when a Hotel/Restaurant
licensee adds optional premises .
