Denver Post had an editorial on how many tens of millions of dollars this would cost RTD 10 do this.
Mayor Bums advised that he talked to Slall' on Friday and again today and that meeting has not been
called and it appears that maybe ii won '1 be called. He said that, reflecting on the real impact of such a
thing, that possibly this meeting will not occur. Bui , he stated, it cenainly illustrates that we have 10 keep
our guard up all of the lime on this line because there are people on that Board who would just as soon
terminate ii and maybe go southeast or not have any light rail al all . Or. Council Member Bradshaw said,
go straight 10 Highlands Ranch. Mayor Bums said that is right. He noted we have 10 be ready al all times
10 go to any meetings. Mayor Bums advised that he has asked that they inform him of any meetings. He

voling against the Southwest Corridor as soon as the S23 million. which was appropriated by Congress
this year. is in hand. He staled that they did gel verification today that the funds have been appropriated.
Mayor Bums said he was not sure if that was good enough for Mr. Fleming. But, he said, he would
cenainly call on him Lo stan voting with us instead of against us . Mayor Bums advised that they have
started to work on verification that that money has been received. to Mr. Fleming's satisfaction. Mayor
Bums pointed out that every vote they get down there is valuable, especially the vote of someone who has
never voted for us in the past . He said they will keep working on that one .
4 . Mayor Bums advised that there is a special ceremony in Littldon. tomorrow afternoon. honoring
Mayor Dennis Reynolds. II will be held at 2:00 p .m . at the Littldon Depoe . at Crestline and Rio Grande.

I . SIie llked if the recqJlion. held on Friday night to wcla>mc ~ ScaB. -for die wllOlc
~ a fey . Or, sllc ~ioned was it just for Department heads or chairs al bmrds ad ODFTtnillicln5 .
SIie aid la qllCllica is wllellier it was open to the community. Mayor Buns aid lie did -dlillk it was
,.Wicized 11111 -,, . Ms. Nabllolz llalcd that kind of saddens her, lllal lie is ill c:llarF al-fair City and
sllc woald really appn,ciale. with the help of public relations, thll tlley oould 1111 ii i• die Eaglewood
Herald. Deaver PUii or the Rocky Mountain News. She said she was rally sad to -tlley luld -clone
moreonthis.
2 . She said the graffiti. on the fish Slore in the 3400 block al South Broadway, dull -broughl up
at Coffee and Conversation with Council in October, is llill then:.
3. She noted in the Library Board minutes it said that Hank Long was ancoding and involved in a
panel discussion at the CLA Conference in regard to filters on the a,mpu1ers. She told Mr . Long that she
would like to sec if we have anything on that that he CXlllld provide to her.
4 . She said she thinks it is long overdue that they set up a meeting with S & H Concrete, Waste
Management and the neighbors involved over on Union in regards to truck problems. And. she Slated. not
a flyer. She commented that she thought a face to face meeting with these neighbors. these two
businesses, as well as any Council member that can attend. is long overdue.
Mayor Bums noted that he has some pictures Council Member Habenicht gave him and that he received a
call about a week ago advising then: will be some pictures coming through. He opined those people really
need some help over then: and that he really thought it was a good suggestion.
In response to Council Member Bradshaw, Mayor Bums confirmed that the an:a in question is Union off
offedcral.
S . Ms. Nabholz welcomed Bev Bradshaw and Doug Garrett.
(ii) Council Member Bradshaw Slated that she is very concerned about what is
going on with South Suburban. She advised she will be meeting with a couple of their Board members
just to sec if they can 'l try to smooth some stuff out or figure out who is doing what. She Slated she just
wanted Council to be advised of that because when she docs things like that she ICIS people know.
Mayor Bums said that he shares her concern with that. He noted that he thought when we had dinner
with them several weeks ago that we wen:, perhaps, getting off on a different kind of relationship.
Council Member Bradshaw e,q,lained her concern is that it seemed to her that everybody who walked out
of that meeting had a different impression of what happened. Some people, she pointed out, felt like they
wen: hit by a truck and other people said "oh. it was fine." She said she understands the staffs will be
getting together. City Manager Sears advised that on Friday, Jerrell Black, Dave Lorenz and their
attorney and Dan Brotzman will get together hen: at 10 :00 a .m .. to talk about a contact that City Attorney
Brotzman had about them proceeding with construction. He noted that pan of that is to have Parks and
Recreation Director Black, who is doing some wort on the questions that wen: raised about the City
services, to kind of talk through some of those issues. Mr. Sears added that this will be his first
opponunity to sit down with Dave Lorenz to talk about our relationship. He opined that ii was imponan1
to have the attorneys present, just because then: is some discussion about whether they can proceed or not

Sbadents and the second semester will be a different set of students from one of his biology classes. Ms.
Baggus stated they are hoping to have the academically at risk Discovery Sbadents help in linking the new
group of students to the park to further impnm: the self image of those students. She advised that Greco
City has nearly all the funding for the team, which is around $6,000 to do the project for the year. But.
she said, they need an additional $570 for uamportation and for building bird and bat boxes. Englewood
Clean, Green and Proud is providing half that amount and she requested that Englewood City Council
provide the remaining $285 . Ms. Baggus said she hopes it will help Green City to get these Englewood
High School students to the site and committed to something positive in our community.

neighborhood as a trashy neighborhood . He asked Ms. Nabholz if he was comet. Council Member
Nabholz said yes . Mr. Apodaca Slated that he knows Mr. Emison has pushed with the City to grant him
aa:css to the land, even though there is no 5lrcct through it. so he can build on it. He is demanding that.
A lot of things are going on with that. Mr. Apodaca said, that disturbs him. He said he wanted to bring
up a couple of things. He commented that he knows Mr. Emison has mentioned to some of the City
Council members, is that all of the neighborhood is for this. Mr. Apodaca said he can tell Council, for a
fact. that they are not and he advised that he can name names and bring people in. Some of them, he
noted. arc in the audience now . He Slated he doesn't think that is right for somebody to come in and
speculate on land and try to lll8IICIMI' the City and neighborhood to do something that he wants done.
Mr. Apodaca asked that Council plcuc investigate. with their City planner and find out what is going on
with him and the issues that have been raised there. He said Mr. Emission has turned them all in for
various asundry items, as far as clean-up. Mr. Apodaca acknowledged that he has been guilty. that he
cleaned it up and it has been taken care of and all the neighbors have, with the cxccption of Mr. Emison .
Mr. Apodaca said he undcrslands the City is still having an on-going problem with Mr. Emison because
he is taking the position. if he is not mistaken. that the City is responsible for cleaning up his land. Mr.
Apodaca questioned if he could ask Ann Nabholz what cxxtly Mr. Emission told her about their
neighborhood as far as being trashy . Mayor Burns advised that normally this is not the place for a
dialogue. Mr. Apodaca said he was just curious and he would drop that. Mr. Apodaca said he would
really urge the Council to consider is that this was tried before, when the land was owned by LaRaza. and
they let it go for back taxes because it was worthless . The people at l.aRaD.. Mr. Apodaca advised. have
told him they would be very upset and look at a lawsuit if Council docs let something like this happen,
where they wen: not able to build when they came up to City Council and this gcndcman would be
allowed to build. Mr. Apodaca opined this is somctbing the City rcally mats to look at. 10 save some
money in lawsuits and time and cffiJn OD this. He said he would urp Couacil to invcstigatc this mo~.

identify the natural habitat. they are going to different species. both animal and plant. and categorize
everything and make ra:ommcndalions for things to help prelCn'e this lllblrC center for years to come.

Ms. Van Dyke pointed out that there was a time when the City of Englc'Wood put aside $50,000 to build a
nature center on that piece of land and that money has since been diverted to other effons. She said she
would just like to encourase City Council to really step up to the plale. not so much to give them that
S28S, because she was CODfidcDl Council would do that. but whal is more important is to help prcscrvc
that area for the fu&we of Englewood. Because. she emphasized. she tndy believes it is the last natural
babilal in the entiR City of Englc'Wood, it is the last place where then: are llllWal grasses, natural animals
and tbinp of that sort. She asked that Council please look into this seriously and help them prcscrvc it
for yan to come .
Ms. Van Dyke said. for her second item. that she is just very, very pleased with the fact that City Council
has hired Mr. Gary Scan as the City Manager. She stated she has known Mr . Sears for years. that he has
a tremendous rqlUlalioD Slate-wide and she is just thrilled for the City of Englewood that he is on board.
She offered Mr. Scan her congratulalions and thanked him for taking the job. City Manager Sears
thanked Ms. Van Dyke.
(e) Jeny West. 2890 South Ogden Street. S1atcd he was down here something like 12 or 13
years ago and listened to the City Council come up with a one time assessment for streets and sidewalks.
He advised they came down South Ogden Street and they replaced the sidewalk, or chunks of it. that was
broke, plus they repaved the street . Mr. West S1atcd they assured them at that meeting that night that it
was a one time assessment. He commented that he thought the Council Member for District I at that time
was Neil and Neil liwd right behind Ray Ludwig. Mr. West advised he lived next door to Ray Ludwig at
the time. and they were out in the bactyanl and Neil said there was Mone good thing about it. you two
don't have to pay apin." Now, he poiDICd out. they are coming up with an aaessment on this a>ncrete.
Mr. West advised be called Mr. Lancaster and asked him about it and he told him he never paid for

four infomwioaal kiosks, four shelters without restrooms and an additional I 07 parking spaces . He
stated this Planned Development was originally by City Council in 1993 11 Resolution No. 95. The total
site involved for Cornerstone Park, as it is now called. is 66 'h acres . Of tbal. be IIOled. approximaldy 50
ams is pan of the ponion that is under consideration for the amendmcnc tonight. The Planning
Commission held a public bearing on this particular maater and II a result of that public bearing tbere
were several sugestions that were made, as well as some issues brought up by the public with respect to
this park.
Mr. Stitt offenld. for the rec:onl, plOOf of posting from the original public bearing in October.
Mr. Stitt 5laled lllll the Planning Commission, in their deliberation of this park amendment. added one
condition and tluec ,e.:ommaulalions. They added the condition that the skate park be sunoundcd by a
minimum six foot high fence with locking gate. He explained the reason for that condition was to provide
some prolCdioa from park users who might be in the area of that skate park at night and not be aware of
that facility and might be subject to some injwy. In addition lo that, be said. there were recommendations
that wen: added for c:oasidcration by the City Council. The first recommendation was to impnM: and
provide additional pedestrian access from the southeast comer of the park to the internal path system with
defined crosswalks and sidewalks. He advised that the second rec:ommendation was that the impacts of
vehicle headlights OD surrounding residential uses shall be mitigated by the use of grading. berms and
other means to pm'eDl intrusion of the headlights on residential uses . The tbiJd recommendation was
that an in depth consideration of lighting specifications for the parking lots and skating areas be
undcrtakcn, addressing issues such as height of Slandards. dcf1ection of ligbl rays downwanl. candle
power rating of the bulbs. Mr. Stitt noted this lighting plan. and CIICOllll*ling information. was to be
prepared and presented to City Council for their consideration at the public bearing on the amended
Planned ~t. He stated the applicants have this information available and they will be making a
full praen&atioa with respect to the proposed amendment and the condition and .ec:ommendalion dal the
Planning Commission made. Mr. Stitt said that at this time be would ._ any questions Council may
ha\lC c:ooceming the staff .ec:ommendation and the staff analysis of this Planned Devclopmcnt
amendment.

lechnical ddails and presenled it to the Planning Commission earlier this year. Mr. Woodcock noted that
Mr. Stitt did a very good job of describing the amendment. He advised that they have quite a number of
people who would like to talk in favor of this proposed amendment. Mr. Woodcock assured Council that
they have met the conditions and the reQOIIUIIClldatns put on the plaa by the Planning Commission and
there is evideace IO the fact in front or Council . He said if Council had any 1echnical quest.ions, David
Stipe would be happy to answer those, as he is the designer of both facilities .
At the Study Session oa October 13"'. Mayor Bums noted. they went over some of this, but he asked that
Mr. Woodcock F over the lighting and what caadle power they chaqed or reduced and bow that affects,
especially the neigbborhoods. and how much of that lighting goes off site. Mr. Woodcock advised that
this particular plaa addreaes the foot caadle power produced by. not only the in-line skating facility and
the skate board facility. bu1 all of the lights that are proposed duougbout the part. Mr. Woodcock
referred IO the diagram of the part during his pn:sentation . He swcd that the foot candle on a
ra:reatioaal baldlaU park is about 30 or 35 foot candles, with Coon Field being much greater, maybe 70
or 80. He nolCd the c:catcr of the proposed activity areas have 30 foot candles and as you move away from
the oeater of the activity area. where you expect the highest foot candles for safety and vision, it gets
lighter and cooler . In fact. he advised, on the edge of the part. they are down to I/ IO"' of a foot candle
and as they spill over out into the adjoining areas it is less than a 100"' of a foot candle .
Mayor Bums asked if there is also some berming done along the edging. Mr. Woodcock said that is
correct. that the Planning Commission recommendations were actually excellent recommendations and in
order to provide graphic evideace IO the fact that they caa resolve any of the spillage of the car lighting,
they did two cross-sections. One between Hickory Street and the Cornerstone facility and the second is a
Prentice StRet cross-section. Using the diagram Mr. Woodcock identified berms and the two cross-
scctions. He explained that there is quite a grade separation on the Hickory cross-section. In fact. be
noted. there is 15 feet of difference between Hickory and the parting ami. On the Prentice cross-section,
he advised. the homes south on Prentice are higher u the tenain falls off. He commented they have done
the same landscapiag lecbnique. the mounding of the berms and screening of the vehicle lights .
So, Mayor Bums noted. they are not waiting for the trees to mature. that they have the berrning and other
things in place in order IO mitigate the light. Mr . Woodcock commenced that is a good point. that the
berms will immaliMdy mitigate, allowing the trees to ~ in and viaally sc:n:ien out other lighting in
the part .
Council Member Wiggins DOtcd it is nol referenced in this current c:hanae. but be noliocd ia the plans
Council was givea lalligllt. oa aa:as of parting. a IIDCOlldary elllly at Wesa Belleview Avenue . He asked
if the State Highway Depanmcat approved an enUy iato there . Mr. Woodcock advised they have. tbat in
concept they did II the time of initial application to the Highway Department . He nolCd that would be the
designaled entry ud exit when they eventually ooaacct IO Belleview. Also, be said, that would be the
loca&ioa of a potcatial tnffic light. that would be a slave light IO the iatcnection of Windermere ud
Belleview .

Council Member Vonnittag said he knows Council discussed. a few weeks ago. the land dump, with all
the broken a>ncrelc and everything. He asked Mr. Woodcock if that has been addressed. Mr. Woodcock
stated it has not been addRSSCd.. but that it will be addresled in the eventual dcvclopmcnt of that east side.
He noted that over the years ii was a a>ncretc dump and there is quite a bit of exposed a>ncretc on the
hillside. 11icy would propollC to remove enough coocrctc so that they could get at least two feet of cover
over that a>ncrete to establish grasses on that hillside. He advised they walked ii and looked at it and
there is some they could leave and still achine tbal goal. There is a lot of it. he noted. that will have to be
IIIOVed and probably over to Oxford Recycle. Mr. Woodcock advised they will take care of that as they get
into that aimer of the put. Council Member Vonnittag commented that basically he just wanted lo hear
that for the public record.
Mayor Bums asked if that is part of Ibis proposal. if that is a requirement or is just something they would
intend 10 do or like 10 do. but it is not binding at Ibis poinl Mr. Woodcock stated it is not currently
budgeted. He advised what is budgeted for 1998. a>ntingent upon approval tonight and at the next
reading. is the a>nstruction of the in-line skate board park. accicss off Hickory. a parking area. the
perimeter walkway through the park. paving-cwt, and guacr of Prcnticc. sidewalk along Prentice along
Englewood's edge. the north edge of Prentice. Also some paving. paving of the entry circle and of a
parking 10( and the informal parking area 10 the north. Mr. Woodcock advised that at that time they could
possibly look at. if there is any additional aat. of aJYCring some of that exposed concrete. He nolcd they
IOO want to dress that up. because it needs to be fixed .
Council Member Wagoner asked what was ia Ille localioa before, wbcrc the skalc park and hockey rinks

out on the diagram. wbcrc the old ice ri .. was. Mr. w.,._. said wbal be mcanl was what was in the

more into this location on the south cenual COR of Ille part. He DOied there arc still shcllen localed on
the casacm edge as in the original .:enario. Mr. Woodcock explained that tbclc two particular activities
were discussed during the initial plaaaing of Ille park ud ia fact originally it was the Englewood Parts
and R.ccrcation l)cput..-t that sugcsled ia-lillc ud tikateboanl park facilities. He said they did DO( -

activity bas just exploded ia thcsc two ipOIIS ud IO tllcy MIil to IIIXXJIIIIDOdat wbal they tbiak is -DOI
a trend. but a sport. a valid sport. 11icy also dwtl. he said. that there is a need and a benefit to all of the
communities that SWTOUDd the park : Englewood. Littlclon. Arapahoe County, Sbcriclan . He staled that as
they provide these typc5 of lacilitics. that people wllo participate in thcsc lacilities have a place to go to
praclice their spon. He conuncnted they arc DOI being ~ at business CCIIICrS as we have all rad.

to meet with Council two weeks ago where they discussed some of these issues. What he would suggest,
he said. was that their Board is receptive to considering giving Englewood residents some type of district
resident rate at Colorado Journey and the batting cages. if Englewood would reciprocate and consider
giving their district residents the Englewood resident rates at the Englewood Golf Course. which is
located within their Parks and Recreation District. So, he noted. he thought that would be open for
discussion. Mr. Lorenz advised that their board has also said they would consider the cash in lieu of taxes
for City services. He said he did address a letter to the City Manager and Jerrell Black suggesting that
they would like to know what those City services arc, what the costs arc and how the costs have been
calculated. Mr. Lorenz noted that his suggestion to Council would be to allow the staffs to sit down and
try to decide these issues and discuss them . He said he bas asked that Council consider the land usc issues
involved in this hearing tonight and keep those other issues. which arc of more of a political nature, to
another arena or forum for discussion. Mr. Lorenz advised that their board is committed to going ahead
on this project and they would really like to ask for Council's support and concurrence on the land usc
issues.
Mayor Burns noted they handed out a letter tonight. to Jerrell Black from Mr. Lorenz. dated today.
addressing those issues about paymenl for Englewood services at Cornerstone Park. He pointed out that
the idea of their residents in their district getting special rates at the Golf Course or whatever, is not in
this letter. He said he was wondering why it isn't. if that is what he meant to say. Mr. Lorenz explained
that he just left the issue of rates open on there. with the intention that he thought staffs could sit down
and discuss the paniculars involved. He stated that his board has not come to a conclusion on either one
of these two maners. that he does not want to mislead Council at all. But. he said. they arc willing to
discuss them . Mayor Burns stated that he appreciates the fact that he is willing to address these issues.
He opined that the meeting. they had a couple of weeks ago, was a good one. that they had a good level of
communication . He pointed out that these arc important issues to our cili7.ens and he thought Mr.
Lorenz's Idler was moving toward. possibly. beginning a lOlutioa to that problem . But. he said. he
thought our citiuns would like to have some aa:ommodations made here .
Pat Sullivan. Arapahoe County Sheri tr. handed a letter to each ,ouncil member , advised that he was
appearing before Council in suppon of the South Subwban proposal. Of panicu1ar intercsl. he said. is the
skate board park and in-line skating park . He advised he has 100 deputies that respond on calls regularly
on running our skate boarders out of business areas in off"ic:e parks and they don't have a place to go. He
opined it is a genuine spon. that it requires a great deal of skill and pncticc . Shcritr Sullivan said he
thinks we need to take stq11 to provide them IIOll1C plac:es besides the business community in office
building areas to dcvclop those skills and to do their competitions. He stated he thinks South Suburban
has done a great job of planning for that. DOI only ~ at Comcnlonc. but at other parks throughout their
system. But. he noted. the IIIOll importanl oac would be ~ 11 Comcnlonc. He commented that it
involves a lot of young people and he thought it was a very healthy activity. its great skill building. But.
he noted. it does create friction between these sportsmen and women and the local businesses and us .
Whether it is Chris Olson · s people that arc called to run them out of llOIIIC of the Englewood business
areas or the Littleton officers. he opined thal Linlcton and Englewood would benefit the most. Shcritr
Sullivan noted this particular location won ·1 benefit his people immediately. but it is tied to a set of about
half a dottn skate board locations that South SubwtJan is planning to develop. The hub and the key one
is here at Cornerstone. He said the in-line skaters arc clewloping fast as was stated by Mr. Woodcock.
Therefore. he stated. on behalf of his I 00 deputies and hilllldf. he would like to urge Council's approval
of the changes submitted here today, particularly t.hc lkalCboud and the in-line skating .
Council Member Habenicht asked how many skate board facilities there arc right now in the system.
Sheriff' Sullivan staled there arc none right now . that they arc in the planning stages. But this would be
the hub. 1hcrc would be more of a facility here. He said he thought it would be great for Littleton and
Englewood. 1hat he lived two blocks from there for a long time on HUIOII Way .

Council Member Habenicht asked how people would get to and from the facility . Sheriff Sullivan
explained these would be serving regions. little areas of the South Subwtlan area. He opined this would
be an important stan on getting going on it and plus there would probably be more competitions held at
this location or they would be smaller facilities at other parks as he understands it. Council Member
Habenicht said that her question would be. if this is going to be sort of a major skate boarding hub, how
do people get to the area . She asked if they would be skateboarding, rollerblading or driving to the area.
Sheriff Sullivan opined that the major users will be those within skateboarding access, foot access to the
area . lbat is why, he noccd, that he thought Council Member Waggoner 's question on the number of
vehicles is probably going to be less than other putS af the park. Because. he said. it is going to be
significantly serving the youth of Englewood and Litdelon and it will pnably be on Saturdays and
Sundays where people will be driving in for competitions. But, he said. be didn 't think it would be a
regular daily thing that you would be having that many motor~ He commented that they will be
coming under the Belleview tube access between Englewood and Progress Part and then up into the
skateboard area.
Council Member Habenicht said she was guessing she had not heard about the possible activity of
competition and the like . That. she noted. would take it beyond just the local region . Sheriff Sullivan
stated it could but they wouldn 't be regular. He advised the regular use would be by Englewood's kids
and the kids from Littleton, that they would be the major users of it. But. he said. there might be some
other competitions where other kids might come in . He stated he did not think it would be every weekend
competition event.
Council Member Habenicht noted that all of a sudden as Sheriff Sullivan was talking she had this safety
issue in her mind. Knowing, she said. that we have already bad a bicycle accident on Belleview, with
kids. espcaally young kids wanting IO access that ara. going back and forth . Sheriff Sullivan opined that
there is a very safe access there. under Belleview for the kids coming from Englewood and Belleview Part
in that area . He said he thought it would be minimal.
Again. Sheriff Sullivan said. be would like to CIICOllrqe Couacil to support it.
Mayor Bums commented that Sheriff Sullivan's leucr ..._. a liuldiq issue . He asked what the
timeline was for this and notcd that it appears Ille f1lllds an: llllt available ll this point . Sheriff Sullivan
adv ised that that was part ol an applicatioo and be ... Mr. Woodcock IO address that. Mr. Woodcock
stated that the funding for Phale I of the skaldloud park is in place. He noted they have SI00.000 from
the 1997 budget and should the 1991 budget be approved ~ is uotlaer $70,000. He added tbal they
have $150,000 grant to the CDBG. which is block put~ to Arapalloc County, as they an: very
inleraled in this project. beclule it..._ a lot afllleir crilaia for Bladt Grant Projccu. Mr.
Woodcock explained that they have the potcnlial af bavilla-$400.000. Tbcre is cunently a GCXO
Grant submincd and. he advised. they have made the linalitl af nine pnljecls that an: being considered.
Mr. Woodcock Slaled that they have almoll the potcnlial af a llalf lllillioa dollan for this project ud it
coltS $400,000 10 build the 20,000 square foot &lie boud put. So. he said. the funding is in place for
Phase I and it looks real good for Phale 2 for the entire facility.
Council Member Habeaicbl albd what kind afUN they explCI for this facility . Mr . Woodcock noted tbal
he has never built one ol tbelc. and to answer her honeldy, be did llllt k.w that ~ in this room
could tell her. unless she lalked IO -olthe ..... tbal an: in the audience . And. he advised. they do
want to talk. Mr. Woodcock Slaled that from their expericacc af talkina to people who oper11e ud
maintain these types ol facilities tbal you act daily '* ud a few people dlrft IDOll ol the time ud during
the after ICbool hours it will increase . He adviled tllll ,ea ~ will be ~ dlrft will be

think that is healthy, good and a benefit to our communities. But. he said. he knows there are some
people who want to talk to that.
Council Member Waggoner said he has heard most of the concerns in here addressed except that number
one. He suggested Mr. Woodcock might want to talk about that, that the district shall approve and
provide additional pedestrian access from the southelll corner of the part to the internal path system, with
defined cross walks and sidewalks. Mr . Woodcock introduced Mr. Stipe to address that.
Mr. David Stipe advised that his business address is 6631 South University Boulevard. Littleton. He
advised that the pedestrian access issue, which WIS recommendation number one. is addressed by
providing an altachcd sidewalk on the west side of HiduJry from the corner of Hickory and Prentice and a
walk that crossc:s the interior drive with a cross walk and then two walks that come off' the parking loc and
connect to the interior trail . He commented that it doesn 't show on this plan, but that it does show on the
plans that he submitted earlier.
Council Member Vormittag asked about the hours of operation. Mr. Stipe advised that their parks are
open until 11 :00. Mr. Vormittag asked if there will be somebody that will come out and lock the gates at
11 :00. Mr. Stipe said yes. a park ranger. that they haw: part rangers that are based out of South Plane
Park, just down by Santa Fe and Mineral .
Rahim Hirad. 5056 South Perry Street. Littleton. said he just wanted to say that hopefully this will be a
good part and hopefully it will go through for all the skateboarders and in-line kids . He advised that be
works al a skalcbollnl and snowboard shop and they constandy haw: parents asking where is a good
location for their child to go skatdloard, where it is legal and where there is an obstacle to use . He
conunented that. if this aoes through. he WIS sure the kids would appreciale it as it is needed. Just driving
around, he nolcd. he secs a lot of the skateboarders and in-line kids in businesses and he would rather see
them al a facility that is for their sport. to practice. to hang out with friends and hopefully to haw:
competitions. which he fdt would better their lives.
Chad Penewcll said his business address is 8170 South University Boulevard in Littleton. He advised that
he works at Rocky Mountain SIIOIWOUds. which is a snowboard and skateboard shop. and he participates
in in-line skating, skateboarding and in-line hockey. He said he just wanted to come and voice kind of
what Mr . Hirad jusl said. that be does noc think there is anyplace right now that is a good place for kids to
skate. Mr. Penewcll empbasi:zed that they don 't want to skale where it is illegal. that they want 10 *ate
where they can go and their equipment won't be coafitcalcd and they won't be told to lcaw: and they can
fed that they can just go and skale. Righi now , he noted. there is noc a good place to do that . He noced
that he would be glad to answer any questions Council migbt haw:. that be could answer from the
viewpoint of someone who will be using this facility . He noced that David came into their shop noc too
long ago and pracnted them with the plan of wbal the park might look like . He said he knows there is
noching in stone yet. but that it really showed him that they are concerned. noc just about having
something. but that it be a place that kids will want to go. that it will be set up in a positive manner and
noc just thrown together. that kids will actually wut to go there. Mr. Penewdl opined that it is a w:ry
well thought out project with noc just a random skale park in mind. but actually with the interest of the
kids in mind .
Council Member Habenicht ukcd if this is a sport that is only copged in by children. Mr. Peaewell said
no. but that you are probably noc piing to stan if you are in mid thirties or something. He stated that
some of the professional skatdloanlen and ew:n just a loc ol local people that come illlO their shop haw:
been skating since the 1970's. mid 19IO's and especially on the professional lew:I where they have goUcn
that good, that there are a toe al skatcn in the mid thirties as a lllllter al fact . He noled they may or may
noc be familiar with this, but that Tony Hawk. who recently won the X Games in the ramp skating. which

is an obstacle that would be put in this skate park. is in his mid thirties and he is married with children.
He noted he beat out all of the young kids because he is the best. So. he said. it is definitely a spon that
older people participate in. He noted he is 21 and he first started skateboarding in 1984 or 1985 and he
bas been in-line skating for about five or six years now. He noted that all ages participate in this spon.
but that the majority will probably be younger people.
Council Member Habenicht said that perhaps he could answer a question she had asked earlier. She
.. ~
asked how a skateboarder, or in-line skater, get to this facility . Mr. Pencwcll advised that if they arc in
the local area they would probably just skate or take their sbldloanls and take the cross walks or the
Belleview bridge to get there. If not. most of them would have their parents take them. or he noted. if they
arc capable they would drive thcmsclvcs . On in-line, he IIOled. you aJUld probably skatc a pretty good
distance maybe a few miles to get there. The skatcboard. he said. is more of a shon range type of
transportation for most kids. He said that probably a lot of them would have their parents take them there
and then pick them up.
Council Member Vonnittag said that he was sure they had explained to him what they were going to build
there. He asked him how many people could be in there at one time and. using the example of an eight
year old learning versus somebody like himself. who is 21 years old and really knows how 10 do this thing,
and not kill that kid . Mr. Pcncwcll advised that in a skate part there arc several obstacles, a pit or bull
type obstacle being one of them. bul that you arc also going 10 have ramps throughout the whole thing and
stairs for them and all kinds of banks and walls. He noted there is a certain amount of skater etiquette,
when a pcnon is really good. and gets on lhc ramp. he won't keep going and going. He said he will
maybe go for a couple of minutes if he is really good and then lhc next pcnon in line will have his tum.
That. he IIOled. will be the case on every obstacle. He said that with several obstacles. the eight year old
kid that doesn 'I know what he is doing, when it is less busy he will still get his tum on lhc bigger
obstacles and when it is very busy he will be able to skate -of lhc smaller obstacles that a lot of the
very good skaters arc not going lo be on.
Council Member Vonniltag asked him. in his opinion. how many accidcots he thought this would cause.
He said be was not saying this to be against it. but be wanted to t... rcaliSlically. if he was saying that
there would never be an accident . Mr . Pencwell said no. that people arc going to fall down and when you
arc on your bike. skateboard or rollcrbladcs you arc going to fall down. Fortunlldy, he advised. he has
seen lhc trend of a lot of parents providing protective gear. He asked Mr . Vormittag if he was rdcning to
lhc older kids just running over the little ones. Mr. Vormittag said aa:iclcntally. Mr. Pencwell staled a lot
of the older kids arc the ones that arc going to be in a lot more aJlltrol of their boards. In that case. be
said he would say it would be a case of the younger kids loliag conlnll of their sbtdlouds and then the
bcttcr skaters arc really going to be able to avoid tllOlc acciclcats. He noted he really hasn't seen that a lot.
that sometimes a skateboard will go Oying off. usually hlnnlcaly, just roll away and hopefully if there is
the nuke of a skateboard Oying up most of lhc kids wiU be waring proteetive gear and they will be able to
just watch out for it. Because. he said. in this situation you have also got a lot of kids watching the other
kids . When one kid is doing a trick, everyone else is WIIIChillg him and they arc going to sec if be goes
Oying off and his skateboard goes Oying and be able to m>id that. So. Council Member Vonnittag said.
not everyone is moving a>ntinuously. Mr. Pc-II said no. in l'act a lot of it is just standing around and
saying ~-. look what that guy just did." Council Member Vorminag staled ii is kind of like a pool,
when you get so many people in the pool and all you arc cloiaa is jllll &cttin& wet . Mr. Pencwell said
that's right. Mr. Vonninag said he was just curiou11pproxilllllely bow many people he thought could
actually get into this thing before it is useless. Mr. Pencwdl Slaled the area they have is a pretty big
space. that they could have a lot of kids skating around. Mr. Vorminag asked if it could be more than
100. Mr. Pencwcll said be woulcln ·1 say that many, not that 111111)' arc p,ing to be skating all at once. He
noted you aJUld have a I 00 kids there. each getting in a FOd IIIIOUIII of time of skating. 11 lcall 20 or 30

of them moving around with the various obstacles and not having a problem with each other. Mr.
Vormittag said that is a good ratio.
Council Member Habenicht noted that raises more questions in her mind. She said she was curious, that
when there are injuries what kind of injuries are they, knee problems. ankles. broken bones. Mr. Penewell
said just a lot of bumps and bruises. kids falling down. scrapes and scralehes. Sometimes. he noted. if a
kid takes a panicularly nasty fall you may have a sprained wrisl. sprained ankle or something like that. A
lot of the kids, he said. are wearing helmets. but you will sec a aJIICUSSion from time to time. He stated he
really doesn't sec a lot of serious injuries. that from time to w. a kid will a,me in with a broken wrist,
but that he really doesn't have a lot of people come in and say llley fractured their skull. You just don't
sec a IOI of that. He noted when they are doing the bigger oblllcles. even the very good skaters, will
generally wear protective gear because of the bigger obsla:lc:s Ille more danger of injury and kids don't
want to get injured. Because. he said. every day you aft injured is a day you can't skate. So. he said. they
are really watching out for themselves.
Council Member Vonnittag asked if he thought this was kind of like a basketball coun . Mr. Penewell
said yes. that skating is a legitimate spon. that there are paid pro(essionals. Mr. Vonnittag said that what
he meant was that like around 9:30 at night there will be more older kids there. more of that kind of stuff.
to get together and play a late game. late at night. Mr. Penewdl said there will be some kids that will get
otr work at 7 :00 or 8 :00 and say lets go skate at the skate part and they will show up and they will skate.
But. he noted. it is unlike a basketball game where there is just one area that is exclusively for this team
that is playing a game. that this is not the case at with a skate part. anyone can just skate wherever. If
there is one group that is together on a basketball court. they need to have a half coun so they can shoot al
a basket. That is not the case at a skate part. he said. anyone can just skate and kids are pretty good about
taking turns. I'll skate. you'll skate. it is pretty a,operative.
Lori Sherry. owner. with her husband. of Rocky Moualain Snowboards. 8170 South University Boulevard.
Littleton. said her Sl0re opened in September of 1993 . At that time. they only sold sncnwoards. bringing
in in-line skating in the Spring. she explained. Their intention was not to cany skateboards because they
were not sure there was enough demand and because there -some public a,ncem about skateboarding
and kids that skateboard. Within about six months. she said. they made the decision to bring skateboards
into their product line and it has been a fabulous pan of the basiaess. She said they have had customers
and their parents ask that they carry skateboards. both for the children and the parents. Ms . Sherry said
they really thought the maucr through, where the spon is going and what it will mean 10 the business. and
whether it would create any bad will in their shopping a:lller, which is the Festival Shopping Center at
University Boulevarcl and County Line Road. For about the tall three years, she said. they have been
selling skaleboanis and their gJOMh in sales of skalcbolrds Im been about 30% per year. Right now the
business is about 30-/o ~ and related equipmenl. 40% skaleboanis and related equipment and
20-/o for in-line skates and related equipment. She said she docs not skateboard. but does sncnwoarding
and in-line skating. and she has seen in her business some really good. well-intentioned kids and older
folks who skateboarded when they were younger and they aft -getting back into it She noted it has
just been a tremendous group of people 10 work with in the store. Ms . Sherry advised 1ha1 she gets several
calls a month from parents who are concerned because their children are good students and are not
trouble-makers. yet. when they try lo skateboard with friends, they are told to get out of the way or that
they are not supposed to be tliere and generally made to fed they were doing something wrong and they
are in !ears. Whether the skateboard part is here or not. she said. the kids are going to skateboard. If
they don 'I have a safe place to go. they will skateboard where they are now. which is al businesses,
parking lots and any a,ncrete surface. which is far more duFfOIIS. in between cars that are moving.
perhaps not paying attention to the tnffic in general. She aid tllll conc:cms her. She stressed that the
skateboard part would provide a very safe place for skalcboankn and would be extremely beneficial to
Littleton and Englewood. as well as folks from the sunouadiag areas. About half of the people who come

in to buy skateboard products want to know where to find a skaleboard put they can take their child to.
She said it is vay frustraling to have to tell them that the closest place is in Golden or Boulder. The
parents are busy, she said, as we all arc, and they can't get their children up to Golden or Boulder as often
as they would like, therefore the kids end up skating in the Sln:lct or in the business areas. Ms. Sheny
reiterated that a put like this is an excellent idea and she is vay excited about it. When she first heard
there was a put planned, she told her customers. although she was not aware lhcn of the time frame. She
said if she took a poll of her CUllomcrS. they would be vcsy Clllbusiastic about the put. Additionally, she
said, there has been a tremendous explosion of in-line hockey, which she and some of her employees play
al the Parter Recrealioa Ccnlcr in an adult in-line hockey league and she said it is a blast, it is fun . As an
adult. she noted. there arcn 'I too many opportunities to play in a group spon. The addition of the in-line
skate facilities in the put would be VC1Y welcome by many children and adults.
Banctt Miller, 3976 South Bannock StRd. said he has skalCboarded for the last ten years and it is a major
thing for him. When the Cushing sblcboanl put opened. he recalled, he was about ten or eleven and he
has spent a lot of time there. When the Belleview put was opened. he also spent a lot of time there, and
was fon:cd to scclt other places to skalc when it cloei. He said there is not much in the area now. other
than Cushing. On the weekends. when he skaleboards, he drives to Golden. Arvada and other places
outside of Denver. He said he would really~ to sec something like this in Englewood_ and that it
would build community spirit and pride . He opined that if you fccl pride. you will take care of the put
and build friendships and rcspc,ct . He said he has skaldJoanled for several years with a guy who is about
3 5 years old. This man has been skalebouding since be was 12. he said. People often look down on the
spon because they don't undcntaDd it. Mr. Miller stalCd . Often. kids who are not very academic and who
do not fit in to other spons, find lhcir niche in skaldloarcling. He said it builds characlcr and you have a
great time doing it. just as in uy other spon . Tbcrc are a lot of unwritlCD rules about skateboarding that

COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
Date Agendaltem subject Englewood Public
Library's Annual ·Food for
November 17, 1997 10 Ci Fines• Program
lnlUated By
Library Department
I Staff Sourcea
Hank Long, Director of Library Services
COUNCIL GOAL AND PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION
The Library has sponsored this program for the past seven years, and each year the City Council has
voiced their support of the program.
RECOIIIIENDED ACTION
The Library Department recommends City Council approval of a Resolution authorizing the Library
Department to implement its annual "Food for Fines• program from Tuesday, November 18 through
Friday, December 19, 1997.
BACKGROUND, ANALYSIS, AND ALTERNATIVES IDENTIFIED
For the past seven years, the Englewood Public Li>rary hu aponsoted its "Food for Fines· program
during the November/December holidays. This annual program allows patrons with overdue fines to
-pay" them off through the donation of non-perishable food items, e.g. 9Q1 tpod -cancels out the
late charges (not lost or damaged charges) on OQI ,,,... •· Food item& must be presented to
the Library Staff at either the Circulation Desk or at the Bookmobile in order for the fines to be cleared
from the patron's computer record. The collec1ed food items are then folwarded to lntef'Falth Task
Force for distribution to financially disadvantaged families in the Englewood area. This program hu
been warmly received by the public since its inception. Besides providing reeources to needy families
in this community, the program presents a poeitive image of the Li>rary and the City, i.e. a "Win-win•
situation for everyone involved. The 1997 program wll run for five weeks.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The Library averages $1 ,200-$1 ,500 per month in collected iate fines" (i.e . charges on books and
other items returned past their due date) which go back into the City's General Fund. During the
month of December for the past few years, this amount of overdue fines hu dropped to an average of
$800-$1 ,000, no doubt in response to the "Food for Fines" program. This moat likely means that the
City will again lose $400-$600 in overdue charges during this year's "Food for Fines" program.
