vision, but, she aid, she thinks Ibey should Cllllllidcr a diff'CRDt market niche. Ms. Rally llaled thal her
c:oocept for the CityCcntcr ii to cralC a mulli-purpcJR. Colorado market place thal provides small famil y
owned b11atr:r :r, a venue for llboM:Ming their producU and markeling directly to the consumer. II is an
exciting, IIOlllnlditiona c:enla'. SIie opined thal M already hive enough malls and retml chain •on:s and
strip mils. She comlDC'DOd ..._ we need a cliffermt \'ellUC am thcrc is a niche to be filled bcrc. Tonight.
she llid, 111c ii prapolUII MIil 111c dlillb ii• exciting new c:oocept. it is unique to Colorado . but it is no1
lllliquc to odler cities. 11lis would be flm. f'alM. exciting, eclec:lic and it would be like • Old World
market. SIie aaked if anyone bad been IO Scaalc and visited the Pikes Peak Market in Scaalc. Ms . Ratty
said whal 111c ii pnlpOlillg ii limilar to lllll ClOIICCpl in Scaale and it has been very. very sua:eaful. It
would be plaoc wbeR people can buy hip quality Colorado products that are grown, designed. aaftcd or
prq,aed by rmll family buli . It would be a yar around -"ct, very simi• IO the Pikes Peak
Martel in Scaalc and M would be the -to tbe Pikes Peak Market. It would be IUCCCllful. bccaulc it
would be fun, and jult llbopping in IUdl a -'id becomes an aaraction, becallle it is an exciting place to
be. She advi9ed tllal other IUCCalful mallecl include the Fifth Sired Market in Eugmc:. Orqon. which
cams more per rewl square foot Ila any other raail ce111er in Eugene and Fancuil Hall Market Place in
Bolton. And. she said, to go outside our country ... Paris has grca markets. Christ Church in New Zealand
has a woodcrf'ul market that brinp IOIClber anisans, bakers and farmers. So we need to twn this into a
market that has an lltlrllClion 1h11 people walll Ill CXIIIIC to becaUle it is fun. Ms. Ratty staled that her
background has nothing to do with !QI ~. She said it includes twenty years or corporate experience in
marketing CIOIIUllunicalions. new pnxluct dndopmcnt, c:oasuhing and cattle ranching. She said she was
raised on a ranch and she has been COllllllling with her sister who markets natwal grass fed beef. Just
before she saw the aniclc in the paper Ibey bad bccn at the Cherry Creek Market, which has become her
venue to market her products directly to tbe aJDSWDCr. So, she pointed out, she WlderSlands the challenges
that face small businclles. Agriculbnl busineucs, u Mil u others. But, she Slaled. whether you arc
raising and markdiDg food produc:11 like beef. boacy, pesto sauce, wine, bakery products or non-food
produc:11 like wood furniture, quilU, jeMlry, clothillg. art or collectibles. the cballcngcs are all similar.
Production costs often ouq,ece mMut pric,el. making it clifficult to tum a profit or market fOICCS make it
tough for small businca people to survive . So small Colorado bulineaes hive needs. They need to get
their products to the market and Ibey need to make a profit. They do DOC hive the profit margins to
cc,mpde with the big guys and she cnviliom Cl'Clling a type of llllall business emerprise zone with
affordable raail and~ ll*lC for Cllllqlft':DeUI to llllltct their products direct to the conswncr. We
would tic-in to the Colorado Proud Propmn thal bu been micntly laundlcd by the Department of
Agriculture and lie-in to local new businca incubllors. In fact. she noted, there is also a niche in the
market plaoc for Rlail ~ iDctaton. limilar IO the incubaton you find in Denver County, Boulder
and Grand Junction . She said she docs not believe this COWlly has a business incubator, but a retail
incubator would provide economics ol acalc to enable new businesses to get off the ground. The space
would be dcdicalcd to providing affordable, shared office suites, as well , so cntreprencurships have all Ibey
need in terms ol furnishings, com1111111icalions and administrative support services without the need of high
overhead. She said Ibey would alto work in coo junction with city, state and federally supported education
propams to facilitate ~ ~ for young and emerging b11siDCS11CS or cntrcprencurs to be
succc:ssful in their markeling drorts. For example, llbe said, the miuion or community colleges is to train
people to do busillCII in the community, 111 this would be a lllllnl. Molt small businesses find themselves
locked out of regional or llllionll raail IIORI who prdcr to buy from larger entities, who can guarantee the
largest supplies and COlllistmcy. And many do DOC hive the capital or do DOC have the desire to grow their
businca into a national Clllelpiae . But, she noted, Ibey love what Ibey do and want cle&pcralcly to make a
living doing what Ibey do. We will coalinue to hive new CDIJqlrCDeWS who hive a dream and have a
product Ibey want to take IO the nmket. she said. On the other hand, you have consumers who are
becoming bored and dilCIIClanted with tbe crowded, big IIOl'C, big mall c:oocept . No longer do people
betia,e 1h11 biger ii alWll)'I better. SIie llated thal -.men are longing for the penonal touch. Ibey
want 10 know the pooplc bcbind the producU thal Ibey buy. They like knowing tbe DIRlC ol the products
Ibey cat. And in direct ractioa. she believes, to the llerile comput« en, we are looking for new ways to
make pcnonal •*"-'• Add IO Ibis, she aid, the consumer DCll&llgia for the old, for the way things used
to be and • ewlviDg IOCial COIIICicnclc, wbeR people truly care about auppor1iDg people who arc trying to
achieve IOffldhing to make it Oil their own . Ms . Ratty explained 1h11 dlCle trmds arc being driven by the

Howner. a llid, * dub we hid a much more exciting plan carticr and thll -the plan that really
eapla9!! a lot al people' 1 imaginalion. She said she i1 afraid that maybe we arc going a litlle bit backwards
with this. Ml. Habenicht said lhe would guess, in good OOIIICience, while her heart goes to wanting to
suppon dill we do this, and lhe know it will pus. but she feels that we arc not really seeing whal is going
to bappen . She llallld we do DOI know whether it is going IO end up being four stories or two Slorics. we do
DOI --wllcdier il ii .., to end • being the l'Clai1 we arc lllking about or if everybody is going 10
come hadt ud ay ~o1a, we QOUJdn 't do it one more time" and we arc going IO Ft another last minute piece
of what it can't be. Ml. Habcnicbt said lhe believes that all of the things that shc has been seeing and
aaeadiDg and people wbo have lalkod to her from oUllide of our coaiamily, wbo arc looking IO
EaglcM,od for• to do .,.,...bing rmlly apcc:taQdar ... thal lhe thim we can do bcacr than this plan. She
llated lhe will rdumady vote 1111, IIIOldy, IO hold aax,,•ntlble the cle\'dopef'S who out there ud who arc
pn,miling the very lap al wbat dley can do, to show her in fulurc days that she should have voted yes . I
~ thal ii what I am WIDfing IO do, lhe said, I wm11 to make liUl'C we arc not jUSI giving a blanket
appoval to come hadt with anything. She said she wants IO make liUl'C that whal we arc talking aboul is we
want the bell She DOied tbal one lbing that came out of the Rail-Volution was a quote that she heard two
or three times ... thal III many people look at the price of things and forget IO look at the value . Ms.
Habenichl opined that one of the thinp thal we really 1-9 to be looking for and what this communily has
been looking for, has been a value thal will ia. for gmeralions. She said lhe thim we arc getting close to
that, but she is jU5I afraid that she has come III far with saying we arc going IO approve this plan and then ii
comes back a litlle bit less than it was . She acd shc is really fearful of approving this and having it come
back jUSI a litlle bit less. So for that rcuon, shc said, her vote will be 1111, but her heart is for getting the
very be5I we can ud she wants to suppon, in the long run, what we arc doing .
Council Member Grazu1is lltalcd that the signing of this, bec:aile of the urgency, docs scare her. She was
very pleased. however, IO see IOtllC changca this cmiing. Since lhe has only been on Council now for 1en
moatha, she said, it scea likc sbe Im 1CC11 die amc thing bappen for tm months and she can not imagine
what went on before she came on and thc flullnlion dley 1111111 fed Uying to Ft somdhing put together .
While searching on the WEB jUSI recently, she said she decided IO look up a lot of TOD 's and the
definilion of a TOD. She llatcd thal lhe feels this pllticular plan docs DOI totally follow what a TOD is
IUppC*d to acmally be, but we arc at lcut on thc -viewpoint and on thc -Sired tbcrc, of going
thal way . Ml. Gruulis CIOIIIIDClllcd that lhe feels thc vision has fully eroded, bul lhe would like IO be
poaitivc with it ud IO she will be voling yea, but lhe wmllS IOIDC accounlability to make liUl'C that if there
arc things that we suggest, that it will still go as a TOD type project, as thal is the vision.
Council Member Bradshaw llatcd lhe feels that last Monday dley goC a boolt of energy that this project has
i-sctl for many, many months. thanks to David Tryba and his lcadcnbip role . She said she jU5I feels that
lhe 1-91 IO bUll the proce11, that thc process has led us this far. Ml. Bradshaw opined that this is going to
be a project unique to Denver. She llatcd that it docs DOI have everything in it she wanted either, but she
tbinb it has a lot of thc componc:nts that will make EngJcwoocl proud . The message she gets from dilfercnt
COllltitucllts ia "do IOmCthing out there." Ml. Bnlllahaw said lhe docs not think they arc rushing into
anything. thal this has been procaacd for twelve ycan and lhe thinks it is time to IIIOYC, 10 she will be
supporting it
Mayor Bums ucd he thought dley hid emphasized in their Study Session tonighl that they want qualily

France during World War I. He bas three living cbildrm, 111111Y grandchildren, grcit-grandcbildrcn. and a
great-great grandson here tonigbl. Mayor Bums said IIIIIIY members of Mr. Medina's family arc
Englewood residcnu, and bis three childral arc Man:ella Vigil Robert Medina and Agnes Kaber. Mayor
Bums inlroduced the French Coasul. Frieda Sanidas.
Ms. Sanidas said thal she did not know, on Augusa S-when she bestowed the French Legion of Honor
upon Mr. Malina, 1h11 she would. only a moadl and a half lalcr, get to do it again. The Legion of Honor .
she said, is France' 1 bigbal boaor batowed upon both the mililary and civilians. It was first awarded
Wider Napoi-• a mi1ilary boaor, but O\'CI' the years, imny civilians have also received the Legion of
Honor. To commemontc the Armislicl: Day of World War I. oo November I I. 1998, she advised. ei ghty
ycan after Armislicc Day, Praidmt Chirac, the pracnt Presidcnl of France. bad the wonderful idea to
bestow France 's bigbal honor upon the living survivon of World War I. Ms . Sanidas said she did no1
believe be realized tbcrc still were thal may alive and wcU . She said she was very plcascd thal Mr.
Medina is the oldest oac in Colorado and also the filial and the spryest. and be wears bis medal on lu s
right lapel with great pride . France and the United Slalcs have always been friends. she said. It SWted
when Lafayeae came. fought with the revolutionaries againa the British, she advised. and the Amcncans
have repaid that JCSIUl'C many times. and always we arc friends and fight on the same side . The colors of
our flags arc even the same , she noted. red. white and blue , so let me jll5t say, long live Amcnca. and ,ivc
la France!
A proclamation honoring Mr. Jose Medina, a recipicDI of the French Legion of Honor Medal . was
considered.
The Deputy City Clerk was asked to read the proclamation in full.
MAYOR BURNS MOVED, AND IT WAS SECONDED, TO APPROVE THE PROCLAMATION
HONORING MR. MEDINA.

(Clerk 's note : The proclamation was moved forward oo the agenda. See Agenda Item 8 (a)I
(b) Mr. Eric Bcitoluzzi, 4860 South Galapigo S1reet, a member of the Englewood Cultural
Arts CommiMion, discussed the propOllcd ans CCDlcr. He said it was an honor to have been here with Mr.
Medina. who was actually alive when Tchaikovsky wrote bis last and greatest symphony . Mr. Bcnoluzzi
said be would like to discuss an impol1alll issue. Change bas begun in Englewood. and its leaders arc on
the threshold of rendering decisions which will afrcc:t, for many ycan to come, the way this community
regards itself, be said. The CityCcnter project is a unique and fanlalilic opportunity for Englewood. he
asserted, to create a multi-dimensional development which can tnmsform the entire community into a
vibrant and progressive landsc:apc . The City is cunently on the verge of finalizing agreements with the
Museum of Ouldoor Arts and the David Taylor Dana: Theater, two bigbly professional and dynamic arts
organizations. which will, no doubt. serve as vital components at CityCcntcr, be said. The process can be
further enhanced, be suggested. by cn:ating an ans center, focusing on education. and having a stale of the
art performance venue, together becoming an exciting allnlctioo for Englewood and surrounding
communities. An arts center should not be c:ooc:eivcd, be allowed, as the total answer to the Cinderella Ci ty
site. but it will contribute significamly to the economic and social needs of CityCcnter. Similar
developments have been crealed in towns as nearby as Pueblo, with its Sangrc de Cristo Arts Center, and as
far away as Abilene, Texas and Greemborn, North Carolina, be said. Tbcsc visionary creations arc
producing heightened pratige in additioo to oc:oaomic gruwtb for their communities. The most important
and potentially lasliDg outcome, be said, is the uadcniablc improYemcnt in the quality or life in tbcsc towns .

Mr. Bcnoluzzi recalled the 70's. when Cinderella City was a happening place. The stores were full of
c:ustomen and the parking lot was full of vehicles. He recalled one day when be came across a pink Rolls
Royce, and bow be covecm that vehicle, as only a sympboay musician can. Now ownen of Rolls Ro yces
and Fenaris do their shopping at the Cbcny Crea Mall and Park Meadows. be said. but these are places
that also struggle with the cballenges of diminishing commner hues . Mr. Benoluzzi imilcd Council 10

to see it there, is because it will be a thing of beauty, be said. and will be visuall y appeal mg 10 an yone

art Although it is early in the process, Mr. Bcnoluzzi said be would like to give Council an idea of a
vision for the arts center. He said there would be a performance facility , with various theaters and galleri es .
but these venues would have a dual purpose, education and eDIC:rtainmem. There would be one large
theater, seating maybe 1,SOO, and maybe one day there would be a youth orcbcsUa performing there . or a
youth brass ensemble. The next night, we might ha\'C a local arts organization do111g a maJOr prcscn ta llon.

being busy every Saturday morning. attracting families with presentations. not only by children. bur for

This facility could be used for recitals, be suggested. by tcacben who have a need for places where thcll'

young people, as well as established artists from Colorado and around the nation . We believe. and this is
very imponalll. that this arts center will be in pal1Denhip with the school district, not to replace. but to
cobance the curricula. be said. There would be classrooms and studios for a whole range of instruction in
art. music and tbtaler. There would be studios for artiSIS in residence, be sail!, where they can actuall y do
their work. make their aeatioos. and also have the requirement of having to pass along the education about
the creative process, where people of all ages can learn about thal. Mr. Bcnolu:ui said there could be
rebearsal rooms, office rental space for local arts orpnizations, and a workshop where instrument makers
and repair people apply their ndc. They would also have to have apprmtices, so they can pass along their
skills, be said. Elcctrollic media is very imponam in our cullW'C now days, and you can not Wlderestimate
~ Y ouog people will want to learn about this and we will have to provide those opportwlilics for them
He said be would also like to see a conference center over there, because every busiDCSS and organization
uodcrstands the imponance and value of creative thinking. their success depends upon it, and what better
place to have their retreats than in our ans center, surrounded by the energy and the activities that are going
on there . Some might ask, be CODlioucd. what makes the exploralOfy committee think Englewood needs or
even wants an ans center. These are the most fundamental of questions, even more so than those dealing
with how much it will cost and who will run il We do not have all the answers, be said, but for starters, the
need for change is not always apparent to everyone. A community which docs nx:ogni:zc: the irnponance of
change is the one which will prosper. We -' a resource which honors and embraces the belief that
creative thinking is as vital to a society's health and growth as is adequate housing and a clean
environment, be said. We need a safe haven where our cll1ldreo can explore and discover the power of
communication through the arts. be asaened, a place where the creative human spirit is pennittcd to soar to
amazing heights. Mr. 8cl10lum shln,d a statemeol wrillCD by the chairman of the Board of Trustees of the

that are safe and affordable . It is cspccially heancoing to see how much of the emphasis we have placed on

dreams thal arc being made. she said. but how about the ones who have been behind you all lhesc years .
Downtown, we arc dying oo the vine, because DO one gives a damn, she said, about downtown Englewood .
It is all of lhesc big dreams and things that arc fine. but why let the rest of us dry out on the vine. she asked,
when we have been the ones who have been paying your taxes and your wages through lhesc years , when
Cinderella City went down the tubes . We arc still hen:, she asserted, and have asked to have a linlc bit of
help with a sidewalk sale, but have been told DO, we do not do that. Who says we don't, she asked. we used
to. And it used to be a lot of fun and would bring people downtown again. Englewood should put up a
banner for us, the same way they did for Miller Field, she said. We arc downtown merchants and make our
living off of people coming downtown, we can not go out and gel them anywhere: else, they have to come
to us. but they all go to the mall ralber than come downtown. she said . A lot of people do not even know
we arc down there. She said she bu a list of merc:hlnls who would like to have a sidewalk sale, and the
owner of Legs was supposed to be bcR tonight with DanlCI also . They thought it would be nice to have
four or live blocks and have Englewood stand behind us, not kick us in the seat, and have a good old
fashioned downtown sidewalk sale. Ms. Cummins said she a,uJd not even find a way to gel a pcrmiL or
anyone to help her with it, and she did DOI ICC why she should have to ask permission, since it is her store:
and her sidewalk, as nu:b as it is anyone else's. She repealed thal she would like to have Englewood
behind them to help put on a real good sidewalk sale. It wouldn't even be too bad to have one once a
month, she said, but at leall ooe or two and bavc advenising and cvcrytbing to back them, 50 people would
come down and sec lhcn: is an Englewood downtown .

'
election, and in two of the positions we have incumbents running unopposed. He said he would DOI
comment on wbetbcr these incumbents ought to be elected, because he feels everyone sining up there is
working bani and doing the best job they can. But it seems that we should all be concerned about the lack
of inlercst, he said, in our political system and in the welfare of our community. He urged Council again.
as he bas for a number of ycaB. to look very carefully al ways to cncourage more citiz.cn participation.
One of the ways would be a Leadership Englewood Program. The year before last. he recalled, the
Chamber of Commerce took that OD and made a good lint effort • it. but the Chamber is not. al this
moment. financially able to cany that burden. Therefore, other community groups need to step forward
and ask bow we will do this, collectively, togctbcr, he said, to benefit our community. How do we find
people, he asked, and help them learn about the issues, so that when they arc elc:ctcd, they do DOI say they
really got an education up bcrc, and they wish they had known about what was going on before they were
elected to City Council, or before they went on the Planning and .ZOning Conunission. the Board of
AdjustmclllS or wbalever. Mr. Clayton said bis lint recommendation, therefore, would be to recommend
some son of funding for a cooperative program with a group to do a Leadership Englewood Program. The
second concern, be said. is similarly rclalcd and bas to do with the housing situation in Englewood. which
continues to be difficult. Mr. Clayton said he feels it is difficult because , as a landlord, he cenainly was not
in favor of getting rid of tenant housing, however. the ratio of tenant to owner occupied housing is still too
low in Englewood. He felt a project such as Project BUllD, or something similar. was the only way to
change that ratio. He said the City ought to continue lo pumic those programs vigorously to impro\'c
owner occupied housing in the City of Englewood . He said it is demonstrable that people who do not own
their own home do DOI have the same interesl in participating in the community as people who do o~n their
home . Representing the business community. be said. there is a lot of interest in the business community.
but of course, we can DOI vote. He felt there were a lot of business people who have a considerable
investment bcrc, much larger than most of our residents. A business that owns SI00,000.00 in equipment
bas a much greater inveslmcnt than the pcnon who rents an apartment and bas a SS00 .00 deposit and a key.
he said. We need to continue to consider ways to increase home ownership, he said. which brings us to
Cinderella City, where we seem to be al another crossroad . He encouraged Council, as they look al
developers, to try to find ways to ensure the housing that is built there is built for sale . It can always be
rented if it is built for sale, he said. but if it is built for rent, it probably will not ever become for sale . He
said he bas heard numbers, 30-/e to be built for sale. which means 70-/e tenant occupied. Thal is pretty
much the same ratio as over in north Englewood. and that is too high. We need more owner occupants in
the City of Englewood. so thal we will have more candidates for City Council , and more people interested
in participating in our community. he said.
Casey Stockwell, 3919 South Washington Street. a member of the Planning and .ZOning Conunission,
addressed Council regarding the SS ,000.00 for the audible crossing signals. He said this was discussed in
Planning and .ZOning. and the min.-cs of thal meeting reflect thal be did DOI do any research. but that was
DOI true . Mr. Stockwell said he did do rcscarch and discussed it with Traffic Engineering Analyst Vostry .
There is a dcbalc going on within the blind community as to whether these arc good or not. he said . Some
people believe that, since they arc not al every intcncction, they arc confusing and. therefore. dangerous .
Half of them believe thal means you should take them all out, and half believe you should put them at every
intcncction. Whether you put them in or take them out. either way would take money, he said The two
thal exist right now, on Broadway, going cast and west, arc in use for the blind and for aged people. he
advised, so he felt thole should Slay in, since they arc not just helping the blind. It is unfonunatc that some
of the blind do not like them, but it is in the best intcrcsl of the majority of the citizens to keep those in, he
said. There is ooc more, a little fanbc:r north OD Broadway, and that one is for a specific individual al their
reqUClt, so that one should ranain, be felt. Adding any to Cl'OII 28S would be dangerous because the traffic
is too fast and tberc is Dot enough time to get across. so none should be added there. he opined . The only
other pla(lc would be at Belleview and Broadway. he said. You could either do it nonh south or cast west,
because you can not do it OD both. because then, when it beeps, you would DOI know which way you were
going. Because it is equally busy both ways, he said. it is moll safe to not p.a it in al all . Mr. Stockwell
said bis conclusion. tbcrd'orc, and be felt Mr. VOtilry was in agrecmc-. is to leave everything the way it is
and it will be sufficient

(a) Approval of OrdinaDccs on First Reading
(i) Senior Planner Slitt prescnu:d a recollllllClldalion from the 0epanmc .. of
Neighborhood and Business Development to adopt a bill for an ordinance pertaining to Group Living
Facilities, and to schedule a Pllblic Hearing for October 18, 1999 to gather citizen input on this maner . Mr .
Stitt Slalecl that lbere was a Study Session prior to this meeting to discuss the main poims of this group
living ordinance. For the sake of the audience, Mr. Stitt advised that this is an ordinance to rq,lacc the
disparale n,quirements in our CUffllll 7.0ning ordinance governing what typically is called group homes .
We have chosen the title of group living. since it coven a wider variety of situations. As a result of the
discussion at the Study Session, he offered five amendments to this ordinance for Council · s consideration .
The lint amendment, he said, is in the definilion of dormitory, and that is pan of Sc:ction 16-8-1 . and ii ,s
fOUDd on page two of the draft ordinana:. The amendment would be to change the nwnber of students. he
said, from eight to four, so that the definilion would read "a facility used as a living quarters for no1 more
than four students enrolled in classes or activities at a college, uni,-ersity or boarding school. including.
without limitation, a fraternity or sorority house owned or operalCd by an enlity O(ber than the college.
university or boarding school ." The next amendment he offered was on page three . Wider the definition of
Group Living Facility. The Group Living Facility curmmy staleS "raidemial occupancy of all or pan of a
structure by a group of people that does not meet the definition al household living. hocel lnotCI or
detention facility." At this poim, he said, we would e1iminale the "or" between lnotCI and detention
facility, and add, after detenlion facility, "or dormitory." The next modification would be to the definition
of houscbold, he said, which includes three difl'ercal sub-definitions. We would modify number two.
which cummly says "a group of not more than eigbt penoas not related by blood, marriage or adoption. or
legal guanliansbip, living together in a dwelling unil" At the end of that phrase, he said, we would add
"provided that such group does not meet the definition of dormitory ." The fourth amendment, which is
fOUDd on page eight, in Sc:ction 164-23-2, Use Regulations. subsection G, currently states "if active or
continuous operations are not carried on for a period of twelve consecutive months in a group living
facility ... " Mr. Stitt suggested modifying that from twelve months to three months . The final change was
on page thirteen, which concerns the private off-street parting standards, which is Sc:ction 16-5-5-a-8,
which is a proposed parking requiremcot for group living facilities . Oirrendy the proposed restriction is
"one parking spice per four raidenl beds, plus one spice for each three employees." Mr. Stitt
l'CCOIIIIIIClld that be changed to "one parting spice per three resident beds plus one space for each three
employees." With those proposed amendments, we would request approval on lint reading of this Group
Living Oldinance, and the setting of October 18, 1999 as a Public Hearing date, he said.
The Deputy City Clerk read the council bill by title:

On July 6 . 1999 I was appointed to the Board of Adjustment and Appeals . the Code Enforcement
Advisory Committee and the Urban Renewal Authority in which I was very honored and
enthused about panicipating.
On August 9 , 1999 Dan Brotzman, the City Attorney generated a memorandum to you. Julie
Grazulis. and the City Council Members indicating it was brought to his attention that 1f a person
is appointed to the Board of Adjustment and Appeals they cannot serve on multiple boards per
Charter limitation language .
Ms . Sue Bradshaw informed me of the memorandum and she asked that I make a choice on
which board/committee/authority I would prefer to remain . I received a copy of the
memorandum and decided that I would remain on the Board of Adjustment and Appeals.
Therefore. I resign my positions on the Code Enforcement Advisory Committee and the Urban
Renewal Authority effective immediately.
I really enjoyed panicipaung on the Code Enforcement Advi sory Comminee and appreciate the

RE : Cinderella City Redevelopment --Miller Weinganen
Dear Gary :
On Tuesday , September 28 , 1999 , the staff negotiated dea l term s with Miller
Weingarten for the retail development based on the re vised s ite plan. including a $4.600 .000
land price .
The staff estimates that the purchase price o f $4.600.000 will allow the Project to
proceed to completion without any addi1ional funding by the City.-and will allow the Project to
return to the City approximately $4 .200,000 of the last funds transferred ($5 ,300,000), retaining
aprx . Sl , 100 ,000 to fund the remaining gap and to complete the project .
With the Revised Site Plan. it is imponant to both the City and the De veloper
that the Plan quickly become proven in the marketplace . and demonstrate that it is capable o f
attracting the tenants desired by the City. Accordingly . there have been three benchmark
periods created .
I. The Developer has until October 30. 1999 10 satisfy itself that the Plan
will allow it to anract tenants acceptable to the City . It is rel ying heavily during this period on
the response it gl!ts at the ICSC conference in October in Palm Springs . If the Developer is not
satisfied as to the viability of the Plan by that date , it has the right to terminate the Agreement .
Once the Developer passes this benchmark , he loo ses his right if later terminated of
reimbursement of $350 ,000 plus other development costs of $600 ,000-800 ,000 described below .
2 . It is estimated that it takes approximately 60 days to obtain meaningful
leners of intent . and the second benchmark is set for November 30, 1999 to obtain such letters
on a substantial portion of the retail space .
3 . It is estimated that it will take approximately 60 days to convert the letters
of intent to binding leases (particularly in view of the fact that the holiday season intervenes
during this period , and most lease negotiation work stops for 15-20 days). The last benc hmark
is set at Februrary 1, 2000 to obtain these leases .

Mr. Gary Sears
September 29. 1999
Page 2
The closing is scheduled February 15. 2000 or 15 days after the minimum
number of leases are signed, whichever occurs first.
The Developer has a very substantial financial incentive to meet these
contingencies and to close . It has invested $100,000-$300.000 during the ~pre -TOD period for
design, consultants and other development costs, and made a $500.000 cash payment to Kitchell
to take over their position (a total of $600 ,000-800,000). Miller Weinganen can o nl y receive a
benefit from this ponion of their investment if they close and complete the Project : otherwise. it
is lost to them . In addition, there is approximately $350 .000 in Architect. Engineering and
other design and consulting fees which the Developer spent prior to April 21 . 1999 . Once the
Developer passes October 30 , 1999. it looses both the $350 .000 and the $600-800 if it does not
close. The Developer's agreement to put these ponions of its investment at risk based on these
benchmarks should be strong evidence of its confidence the Project will work and they can get
leases which will be acceptable to the City.
The evolution of the purchase price is also important . Members of the City staff
internally calculated that the purchase price would be between $3.000 ,000 and $4 .000.000 ,
based upon the fonnula utilized in the prior negotiations and the revised site plan . Miller
Weinganen then came in with an initial offer of $3 . I million . The Developer wa s told the City
needed $5.000.000 to complete the project and allow the City to also proceed with other
planned budget items . The Developer offered to pay the $5,000,000 if there was so me
opponunity to recoup a portion later based on the success of the project. The City and
Developer agreed to fix the price at $4 ,600 ,000, and if there were sufficient construction
savings, to allow the Developer to retain an additional $250,000 of any unused contingency .
The City and Miller Weingarten should be able to build on this momentum , and
the momentum of approval of the revised site plan to re-energize the Project.
Let me ~;f there are any questions on the attached Deal Terms .
Very truly yours,
~_;;SHIENK & EASON. P.C .

Subject: Matching Funds for EPA Grant Application
Executive Summary
..
',.
NBD staff prepared a grant application requesting $160,000 of planning funds from the EPA.
The grant application must be mailed by September 29, 1999. If the grant is awarded, then the
City must contribute $90,000 in "matching-funds". NBD identified $40,000 of the required
$90,000 match. An additional $50,000 would be required if the grant is offered. With Council
consensus authorizing funding , I will send a letter pledging the matching funds .
Background
The EPA is making grant funds available nationally for planning activities that address
environmental issues. These planning grants are competitive. and only 4% of applications
received have been funded in recent grant award cycles. Nevertheless. EPA requires that each
application for the grant provide assurances that non-federal matching funds are available . The
grant requires match funding ofS90.000. $40 .000 of digible matchin g resourc es are available in
NBD budgets : $25 .000 from projects. and $15.000 o f staff time that can be co unted as .. in kind ..
participation.
Englewood proposes to use Sustainable Development Challenge Grant (SDCG ) funds to promote
redevelopment of the General Iron Works property. Grant funds would be used to complete
required environmental studies such as the Environmental Impact Assessment for a transit
station. and the Historical Assessment ofGIW. a designated National Historic Registry site. The
grant can also be used to plan the public facilities that would serve the redeveloped property .
The Englewood grant application is competitive in that it addresses se veral facets of the
environmental issues at General Iron Works : e .g .. ground contamination. resource conservation.
and mass transit as it relates to air pollution reduction. Having RID as a partner that is spending
money on environmental assessment also strengthens the application. Englewood·s application
includes six planning activities costing $450 ,000 . Our application incorporates $100.000 of
Brownfield Pilot grant funds. with $100 ,000 pledged by the Regional Transportation District
(RID) to complete the environmental assessment of the land contamination .
Authorization
We will submit this application unless there are any adverse comments from the Council by
September 28. We will be asking Council to ratify the decision at the upcoming City council
meeting on October 4, 1999 . Please call Bob Simpson (303-762-23-16), Mark Graham (303-762-
2353) or Mike Flaherty (303-762-231 4) with questions or comments.
