HOW SAFE ARE 

COMMERCIAL 

TRUCKS ON 

THE ROAD? 

While driving, you may not pay much 

attention to commercial 

trucks on the road, but 

would rather avoid 

driving next to or behind 

one based on your 

driving preference. Your 

decision to avoid driving 

close to commercial 

trucks may be a good one 

as some of these trucks 

are being removed from

roadways for a variety of 

reasons — all part of a 

Village priority initiative 

to enhance the safety of 

the community. 

In September, the Police Department 

launched another weight and 

inspection checkpoint in cooperation 

with Colorado State Patrol Mobile 

Port Units from Limon, Fort Morgan 

and Golden. The purpose was to 

identify and contact unsafe 

commercial vehicles. Out of 32 

commercial vehicles processed through 

the checkpoint, there were 71 

commercial vehicle violations issued, 

including 19 out of service violations 

which required several commercial 

vehicles to be parked and declared 

out of operation. Some of the major 

out of service violations included a 

non-working breakaway trailer brake 

switch that would prevent the trailer 

brakes from applying if the trailer 

broke free from the tow vehicle. 

Some of the drivers did not have a 

commercial driver’s license. The 

most severe safety issue was a 7000 

pound overweight gravel truck with 

a trailer that had a blown tire on a 

drive axle and air brake air 

malfunction. 

Research has shown that one 

overweight truck can cause the same 

amount of damage to the roadway as 

9,600 passenger cars. These trucks 

were accidents waiting to happen. It is 

disturbing to hear about these 

violations, but rest assured your Police 

Department has made it a priority to 

enforce these and future commercial 

truck violators using our roadways. In 

my mind, there is no question that 

your Police Department may have 

prevented a tragedy as a result of their 

proactive efforts. 

KUDOS TO 

OUTSTANDING 

LIQUOR LICENSE 

HOLDERS 

Having a liquor license is a privilege. 

This privilege requires the license 

holder to guard against a decision that 

may result in a devastating impact on 

an entire community. Businesses and 

their servers undertake a high level of 

responsibility to ensure the safe and 

legal delivery of alcohol to their 

patrons. Special care in the 

distribution of alcohol must be taken 

by all liquor licensees and their 

employees to safeguard the lives of not 

only their patrons and the general 

public, but also the future success of 

their business. License holders are 

responsible for educating their 

employees on how to read IDs to 

determine the purchaser’s age. 

The Police Department recently 

conducted a liquor compliance check 

to identify establishments in 

Greenwood Village not adhering to 

Colorado State and local laws 

pertaining to the sale of alcoholic 

beverages including the sale or service 

to underage persons. During the 

compliance check, detectives monitor 

establishments for liquor violations. 

There were three establishments that 

received a liquor violation, while the 

following establishments passed with 

flying colors. Congratulations on 

behalf of the Village! We thank you for 

making great efforts to keep alcohol 

out of the hands of underage children.

SPOTLIGHT 

ON 

GREENWOOD 

VILLAGE 

The September 12 City 

Council meeting was an 

evening of special 

recognition for our 

Police Department. 

Several members were 

recognized for their work 

in law enforcement by 

Arapahoe County, 

including Commissioner (and former 

Greenwood Village Mayor) Nancy 

Sharpe and Sheriff David Walcher. 

Congratulations to Village Police 

Commander Joe Gutgsell for his work 

on the Not One More Child initiative 

with Arapahoe County. This coalition 

is made up of hospital workers, 

educators and school officials, health 

experts, child welfare professionals, 

attorneys, nurses, church and 

community leaders, members of the 

Coroner’s office and law enforcement 

officers who work together to prevent 

child abuse and neglect. If you believe 

a child is in immediate danger, please 

call 9-1-1 or you may call 

303-636-1750 or 1-844-CO-4-KIDS. 

In addition, Sheriff Walcher 

commended the following Police 

Department members for their work 

in the active shooter situation that 

occurred in Centennial in April. As 

you may recall, it was in a Centennial 

neighborhood where one man was 

killed and two women were injured. 

The GVPD was recognized for their 

quick response in assisting the Sheriff’s 

Office resulting in the swift 

apprehension of the suspect and 

control of the situation. It was a 

horrific event that occurred very close 

to home, but I believe that the event 

would have escalated further but for 

the highly trained response and 

assistance by the following members of 

the Police Department: 

Chief John Jackson 

Commander Dustin Varney 

Sgt. Ewan Skouse 

Sgt. Darrel Guadnola 

Nikki Bray — Criminalist 

Mary Sansing — 9-1-1 Technician 

Officer Mark Dean 

Officer Nick Pfeifer 

Officer Matthew Hopkins 

Officer Matthew Williams 

Officer Scott Thompson 

Officer Bryan Stuebinger 

Officer Curtis Krueger 

Detective Tom Fanta 

Melissa Madsen — Victim Advocate 

Coordinator 

Thank you all for making a difference 

and for your sacrifices in keeping the 

community safe! GV

GOT DRUGS? 

NATIONAL PRESCRIPTION 

DRUG TAKE BACK DAY 

Saturday, October 22, 2016 

10 a.m.-2 p.m. at City Hall 

On Saturday, October 22, 2016, The 

Drug Enforcement Administration 

(DEA) will coordinate a collaborative 

effort with the Greenwood Village 

Police Department and other local law 

enforcement agencies to remove 

potentially dangerous controlled 

substances from every household’s 

medicine cabinets. Collection activities 

will take place from 10 a.m. through 2 

p.m. at Greenwood Village City Hall 

parking lot, 6060 South Quebec 

Street. Police Officers will be available 

in the parking lot at City Hall so 

citizens can simply drive up and drop 

off their unused prescription drugs. 

The National Take-Back Day provides 

an opportunity for the public to 

surrender expired, unwanted, or 

unused pharmaceutical controlled 

substances and other medications for 

destruction. These drugs are a 

potential source of supply for illegal 

use and an unacceptable risk to public 

health and safety. 

Here are some guidelines for this oneday 

effort intended to bring national 

focus to the issue of increasing 

pharmaceutical controlled substance 

abuse. 

• The program is anonymous. 

• Controlled, non-controlled, and 

over the counter substances may be 

dropped off. 

• All solid dosage pharmaceutical 

product and liquids in consumer 

containers, with the exception of 

chemotherapy drugs, may be 

accepted. 

• Liquid products, such as cough 

syrup, should remain sealed in their 

original container. 

• Prescription and over the counter 

solid dosage medications, e.g. 

tablets and capsules will be 

accepted. 

• Intravenous solutions, injectables, 

GOVERNMENT 

and syringes/needles will not be 

accepted due to potential hazard 

posed by blood-borne pathogens. 

• Illicit substances such as marijuana 

or methamphetamine are not a part 

of this initiative, but can be dropped 

off at the Police Department at any 

time for disposal.

PLANNING 

AND ZONING 

COMMISSION 

MEETING 

OCTOBER 18, 2016 

On September 20, the 

Planning and Zoning 

Commission received public 

comment and closed the 

public hearing on the 

Orchard Station Subarea. 

The Commission will 

continue their deliberations 

at the October 18 

Commission meeting. 

At the Monday, October 3, 2016, City Council meeting, 

the Greenwood Village City Council approved 

the following motion: 

If the Planning and Zoning Commission makes a 

recommendation to City Council to adopt an amendment to 

the Comprehensive Plan for the Orchard Station Subarea, 

public education, information and input meetings will be 

held in each Council District before the plan is heard by 

City Council. 

These meetings will be held in January 2017. 

Meeting dates, times and locations will be published 

in the November Newsletter. 

The Orchard Station Subarea is a 

proposed amendment to the 

Comprehensive Plan. The Planning 

and Zoning Commission is 

responsible for providing a 

recommendation to City Council on 

proposed modifications to the 

Comprehensive Plan. The Orchard 

Station Subarea is located north of 

Orchard Road and west of Interstate 

25 in the vicinity of the Orchard 

Light Rail Station. The goal of the 

subarea is to support redevelopment 

in proximity to the Orchard Light 

Rail Station to create a mix of office, 

residential, and retail land uses with 

a network of public spaces. The 

draft Orchard Station Subarea is 

available at www.greenwood 

village.com. The Comprehensive 

Plan is a guiding document. Any 

future redevelopment proposals of 

the properties within the outlined 

Subarea would require approval of 

development plans.

CONSERVE WATER AND SAVE MONEY ON YOUR WATER BILLS 

In 2016, Greenwood Village partnered with Denver Water as part of the Water Saver Partnership to educate residents on 

ways to save water and money on their water bills while maintaining the beauty found in Village neighborhoods. 

RAKE AND ROLL 

October is an important time to help prepare your landscape 

and irrigation system for the cold months ahead. Here are 

some tips to ensure your yard is ready to weather the winter: 

• Take a rake to your lawn. Use the leaves you gather to 

create compost or cover cold-sensitive perennials. 

• This is a good time to do a round of tree, shrub and 

perennial pruning to promote blooming and control 

growth. Shred the removed plant material to top off your 

compost piles. 

• If you haven’t yet, dewater your sprinkler system to avoid 

a freeze-thaw-freeze cycle, which can create cracks and 

lead to leaks. Turn off the water, drain valves and use 

compressed air to blow remaining water out of lines. 

• Garden hoses should be disconnected, drained and rolled 

up for storage. While you’re at it, drain outdoor faucets 

and exposed pipe as added protection against freezerelated 

damage. 

INDOOR REBATES 

Fall is also a great time to focus on indoor water 

conservation. Denver Water offers up to $150 per 

WaterSense certified toilet that uses 1.1 gallon per flush or 

less. Rebate rules, a list of eligible toilet models and other 

information can be found at www.denverwater.org/rebates. 

Please note that if you have had 3 rebates at your residence in 

the past 10 years, you will not be eligible for another toilet 

rebate. 

LEAD POISONING PREVENTION: 

REDUCE YOUR FAMILY’S RISK 

From its mountainous source to the treated purity at your 

tap, Denver Water takes water quality very seriously. Because 

National Lead Poisoning Prevention Week falls in October, 

autumn is a good 

time to talk 

about lead. 

Lead is a 

naturally 

occurring metal 

that was used for 

many years in paints, plumbing and other products found in 

and around homes. The Environmental Protection Agency 

has determined that lead accumulation in the body can cause 

significant health impacts, especially for children and 

pregnant women. 

While lead in tap water is rarely the single cause of lead 

poisoning, it can increase a person’s total lead exposure over 

time. 

Although there is no lead in the water sent to your home by 

Denver Water, lead can get into water as it moves through 

customers’ lead-containing household plumbing or service 

lines. 

If you are concerned, you can request a lead test from Denver 

Water. You can also hire a professional to test whether your 

service line is made of lead. If it is, we encourage you to have 

it replaced. 

You can get tips to reduce risk and request a water quality test 

for lead at denverwater.org/Lead. Learn more about lead 

poisoning prevention at cdc.gov/Nceh/Lead. GV

GOVERNMENT 

LEAF REMOVAL 

As we enter into the fall season, keeping Greenwood Village 

clean will continue to be a priority. To assist with these 

activities, we ask that you do not place loose leaves or yard 

debris in the street as our sweepers are not equipped to pick 

up large piles of leaves. Moreover, this debris can be wind 

blown or inappropriately washed into the storm systems and 

waterways of the Village. Instead, please look to other 

options to dispose of this debris. 

• Arrange for your lawn care provider to remove the leaves 

when performing your yard service. 

• Bag your leaves in compostable paper yard waste bags and 

place them out with your weekly trash pick up. These 

bags of leaves will end up in the landfill and paper is 

preferred over plastic which will never break down and is 

bad for the environment no matter what its destination. 

Republic Services has no limit as to how many bags of 

leaves they will pick up; however, keep in mind if some 

bags are left at the curb they will be returning once they 

have unloaded their truck. 

Ace Hardware Cherry Hills Marketplace at University 

Boulevard and Orchard Road has teamed up with the 

City of Greenwood Village to provide residents with 

FREE compostable paper yard waste bags. Use the 

provided coupon or visit www.acelittletoncherryhills.com 

to download your free coupon. Each resident will be 

eligible for a free 5-pack, while supplies last during the 

month of October. For more information, 

please contact Ace Hardware Cherry Hills Marketplace at 

5910 S. University, Suite A-17, Greenwood Village, 

720-974-1080. 

• Recycle your leaves at Village Greens Park. Leaves can be 

dropped off loose or in bags between October 3 and 

November 4, 2016, in the dedicated area of the north 

parking lot any day of the week. This option is 

environmentally friendly as staff uses the leaves to amend 

the soil, creating a rich environment for plant growth. 

It does not impact the landfill and it is cost effective. 

No bags are needed and you do not have to wait until 

your trash day to dispose of them. 

For more information, please contact Public Works at 

303-708-6100. GV 

WHY CAN’T I SWEEP MY LEAVES OR 

GRASS CLIPPINGS INTO THE STREET? 

Please do not rake or blow leaves, 

grass or other trash into the 

street. The street sweeping 

equipment is not able to handle 

limbs, branches or large quantities 

of leaves and grass and spreads 

these materials around the street. Leaves and grass are natural 

but when it rains, these materials on streets and sidewalks can 

wash into storm drains and eventually lead to Village 

waterways such as streams and ponds. These materials over 

fertilize the water and encourage harmful aquatic plants and 

algae to thrive, which has a lasting negative impact on water 

quality, local ecology and recreational use of our waterways 

and is a form of stormwater pollution. Just like we would ask 

you to not throw trash in the street, it is the same for leaves.

VILLAGE CENTER 

STATION 

DEVELOPMENT 

CHARTER 

COMMUNICATIONS 

TO OCCUPY 

FINAL OFFICE TOWER 

A groundbreaking celebration was held 

on October 4, 2016, for the 

construction on the third and final 

phase of the award-winning Village 

Center Station mixed use development 

in Greenwood Village. The last phase 

of this development is a 306,000 

square foot, 12 story, Class A office 

tower that will be 100 percent 

occupied by Charter 

Communications. 

Mayor Ron Rakowsky spoke at the 

groundbreaking ceremony about this 

new addition to Greenwood Village, 

“We are ecstatic to have Charter 

Communications as the tenant in this 

remarkable new office building, as it 

will benefit not only Greenwood 

Village, but also Cherry Creek Unified 

School District, Arapahoe County, and 

South Metro Fire Rescue.” 

Also in attendance at the 

groundbreaking were representatives 

from Charter Communications, who 

are very enthusiastic about the location 

of their new home. “This state-of-theart 

workplace will be well suited to 

support a wide range of business 

purposes including the design and 

development work powering all of 

Charter’s products and services,” said 

Rich DiGeronimo, Executive Vice 

President of Product and Strategy for 

Charter. “Charter has made a multimillion 

dollar investment in the 

Denver 

community, and 

in addition to 

its already large 

corporate 

presence, plans 

to add over 800 

new high tech 

jobs in the 

coming years.” 

The new 

Charter 

Building will 

complete the 

three phase, 

approximately 

900,000 square 

foot Village 

Center Station 

development. 

The office 

tower along 

with a 1,221 

space parking 

structure and an 

additional 

18,000 square 

feet of 

office/retail 

space is located 

between the 

recently 

completed 11 

story CoBank 

Headquarters 

and the nine story multitenant Village 

Center Station 1 building (VCS I). 

Both were previously completed by 

Shea Properties and are fully occupied. 

Greenwood Village City Manager Jim Sanderson and Mayor Ron 

Rakowsky attended the groundbreaking for the third and final 

phase of Village Center Station mixed use development. 

Peter Culshaw noted, “The three 

building campus, adjacent to the plaza 

is a realization of the original master 

plan. We have been true to a vision of 

creating a modern office campus 

energized by a common outdoor 

amenity and gathering place with 

ground level retail. We are proud to 

see the last piece of the puzzle being 

developed.” 

The main lobby of each building in 

Village Center Station opens onto a 

public plaza which was designed to

creates additional outdoor 

meeting spaces with multiple 

formal and informal seating 

areas all with Wi-Fi connectivity. 

For public events there is ample 

space to accommodate various 

types and even performances. 

The daily function of the plaza 

however, is to provide a 

pedestrian connection from the 

office towers to the onsite light 

rail stop. A grand stair within 

the plaza leads people to and 

from the station while a clock 

and information tower provides 

travelers with weather updates

made this development one of 

the best TOD locations in 

Denver. 

Village Center Station’s prominent 

location and site amenities are 

complimented by the architecture of 

the buildings. The three building 

campus has been designed to create 

structures that relate to one another 

through the use of similar materials. 

This strategy has created a unique

identity for each building while 

maintaining a cohesive masterplan. 

The architecture for all three buildings 

in Village Center has incorporated a 

distinguished mix of precast concrete 

from building one, as well as a modern 

glazing system which is celebrated in 

high impact areas similar to what was 

used on the CoBank building. The 

combination of these materials will 

stitch the campus together and 

complete the vision for this 13.5 acre 

master planned development.

MARIA EMPANADA 

8000 East Belleview Avenue • 303-221-9013 • www.mariaempanada.com 

Monday-Friday 7:30 a.m.-7:30 p.m., Saturday 9 a.m.-2 p.m., Closed Sunday 

Owning her own restaurant in the United States is a dream 

come true for Chef-Owner Lorena Cantarovici. Lorena’s 

dream of owning and operating her own restaurant began to 

come to fruition when she left her banking position in 

Buenos Aires and relocated to Denver 12 years ago. She 

worked in several different restaurants located in the Denver 

Tech Center and her passion for becoming a restaurateur 

took-off as she fell in love with the business. Lorena began 

her culinary journey by starting a catering business eight 

years ago using her mother’s recipe for authentic, reasonably 

priced, Argentinian empanadas. 

Since Lorena’s humble beginnings in the catering business, 

she has perfected the menu currently being offered at the two 

Maria Empanada locations. After opening and enjoying 

success at the original location on South Broadway located in 

the Platte Park neighborhood of Denver, Maria Empanada 

has expanded to Greenwood Village in the Belleview 

Promenade Shopping Center. Lorena says “her familiarity 

with the restaurant scene in the Denver Tech Center led her 

to choose the Greenwood Village location.” She further stated 

“that the mix of tenants in the Belleview Promenade 

Shopping Center complement each other in attracting the 

surrounding business and residential communities of 

Greenwood Village.” 

Chefs in most every region of the world bake a savory 

concoction of either meat and/or vegetables wrapped in 

pastry. In Argentina, this is known as an empanada. Maria 

Empanada is the original atelier of artisanal empanadas. That 

means there is nothing fast about the craftsmanship that goes 

in to each empanada. Each one is formed by hand. The 

result: A buttery, light and flaky savory pastry that is truly a 

work of culinary art. The most popular breakfast offering is 

the Italian Sausage empanada, which consist of eggs, potato, 

cheese, salsa and Italian sausage. Popular lunch and dinner 

empanadas include the Beef Classico and the Chicken 

Classico, which include peppers and egg. 

On a typical day, 16 varieties of empanadas are stocked in the 

glass case of the restaurant. “Traditional” empanadas are the 

most popular item on the menu. These can be stuffed with 

meat, vegetables or a combination of the two. A “vegan 

veggie” empanada is also available. “Specialty” empanadas are 

seasonal and are filled with only the freshest ingredients 

available. The fillings at Maria Empanada are expertly spiced 

and well portioned. The perfect add-on to these empanadas 

are home-made salsas available for a nominal price. Several 

sweet variations of empanadas are offered. Each variety of 

empanada is sealed with a slightly different seam to indicate 

what the filling is. Two to three empanadas will satisfy the 

hungriest of appetites. 

Traditionally, empanadas are eaten by hand. To encourage 

this practice, Maria Empanada has installed an automatic 

hand washing machine in the serving area of the restaurant. 

In a span of less than 20 seconds, your hands are washed, 

rinsed and a light moisturizer applied. Give it a swirl on your 

visit to Maria Empanada. 

In addition to empanadas, Maria Empanada offers two other 

specialties, Tartas and Spanish Tortillas. Tartas are savory pies 

filled with a variety of vegetables and meats. They are 

blended with organic eggs and herbs inside of their own

Annual Cardboard Challenge. 

“We are thrilled that the Foundation 

has partnered with the Chamber again 

this year,” says John Herbers, president 

of the DTC|Greenwood Village 

Chamber of Commerce. “It is a 

privilege to donate a portion of our 

event’s proceeds to helping children 

achieve their full potential through the 

many programs and initiatives the 

Foundation supports.” 

In its 16th year, the Taste event will 

bring in more than 40 restaurants, 

vintners, craft brewers and distilleries 

from the area to showcase their menu. 

The event offers an “exclusive taste” of 

some of the area’s most popular 

establishments. As part of the 

Chamber’s philanthropic mission, the 

Foundation’s Cardboard Challenge 

bridges the educational environment 

with the business community to 

provide hands-on experiential learning 

and lasting public private partnerships 

for students to build upon. 

The film that inspired the 

Foundation’s Cardboard Challenge 

centers on a 9-year-old boy from Los 

Angeles who created an arcade made 

entirely out of cardboard. The project 

and the film caught the attention of 

school districts across the country as a 

way to encourage creativity and better

use any pastry crust and typically use various vegetables and 

cheeses blended with organic eggs. Spanish Tortillas serve 4 to 

6 people and are gluten free. The most popular dessert item on 

the menu is the Dulce de leche Roll Cake which is a caramel 

infused pastry. 

The beverage offerings feature coffee, yerba mate and fresh

selection of beer and wine on tap, as well as bottled beer and 

wine from South America and Spain. The wine on tap is 

served in pinquinos (penguin-shaped wine pitchers).

counter. Wi-Fi is also available.

THROUGH THE 

EYES OF PICASSO 

Working in Paris in the early 20th

Georges Braque saw new things 

happening in European art, while 

simultaneously seeing art being

this they made their own new art, 

“Cubism,” and it was to influence 

artists from then until today. In this

how it came to be and why it is 

important to YOUR art now.
