AMENDMENTS TO
COMPREHENSIVE
PLAN ADOPTED
In January, the City
Council unanimously
approved amendments
to the Village’s
Comprehensive Plan as
recommended by the
Planning & Zoning
Commission. The
Comprehensive Plan is
a document that guides
land use decisions in the Village. It sets forth
Ron Rakowsky
rrakowsky@
greenwoodvillage.com
303-486-5741
goals, objectives, and policies regarding land use
development, environment, transportation, and
economic development.
The amendments to the Comprehensive Plan
were a result of the work of a City Council
committee appointed by me to develop revisions to the plan,
consistent with the results of the 2017 Special Election
regarding Referendum 1. Most of the committee’s efforts
were focused on redefining Village goals related to
development along the I-25 Corridor and East Arapahoe
Road.
The committee was comprised of Councilmembers Jerry
Presley, District 1; Dave Kerber, District 2; George Lantz,
District 3; and Tom Dougherty, District 4. You can view the
final version of the Comprehensive Plan online at
greenwoodvillage.com.
GV WINS SOCK COMPETITION
In the spirit of competition, Greenwood Village is the best
City! We were the top finisher in the Sock It To Em Sock
Campaign to collect the most socks for the homeless this past
holiday season. We competed against our neighboring cities
of Englewood, Centennial, Littleton, and Lone Tree who all
deserve recognition for their efforts to this worthy cause. As
part of our first-place honor, we were presented with the
traveling trophy that will remain at City Hall, pending the
outcome of next year’s competition.
I want to extend my sincere appreciation to anyone who
contributed to the 1,075 pairs of socks we collected in
Mayor Ron Rakowsky with Susan Elizabeth Lee, Sock It To Em
Sock Campaign.

RECOGNIZING VILLAGE HEROES
One of the things I love about Greenwood Village is the
people of this Village community who I meet every day.
Whether it’s a resident, a business owner, or an employee,
I am truly inspired by the great deeds and remarkable
contributions that people make in our very own city.
To ensure these people’s stories do not go unnoticed, we have
launched Village Heroes to recognize citizens who are making
a positive impact in our community.
This month, we honor Village residents Bob and Misi Ballard
as heroes in Greenwood Village. Their nomination stated, in
part, “Bob and Misi have served a key role in bringing
neighbors together and building a sense of community in
Orchard Hills of Greenwood Village. They organize an
annual Bird Walk (a gathering to learn about birds and
natural spaces in our area). They built the first Little Free

A big thank you to Bob and Misi for your contributions to
the Greenwood Village community.
If you would like to nominate a Village Hero, please send
your nomination to mgallegos@greenwoodvillage.com.

CELEBRATE VALENTINE’S DAY
IN GREENWOOD VILLAGE
It’s that special month for many to give and receive beautiful
bouquets, stunning pieces of jewelry, and enjoy a candlelight
dinner for two. If you are planning to celebrate Valentine’s
Day to make a great impression on that special person, please
keep your celebrations in Greenwood Village. Whether it is
enjoying a movie or a show at The Landmark Theatre or
Comedy Works, treating your special person to a great meal at
any of our fine dining establishments, selecting a special gift
from one of our specialty boutiques, or ordering a bouquet of
flowers from one of our florists. We have many great choices
for services and products, including some amazing and tasty
eateries right here in our Village for breakfast, lunch or
dinner. So why go anywhere else to find love? GV

The Village is dedicated to protecting
the health, safety and well-being of the
community by ensuring that all
construction is completed consistently
and within safety standards. A
building permit is generally required
for:
• Any new building, addition,
alteration, or repair, or
• Exterior site improvements
If your construction project does not
comply with building codes, the value
of your investment could be reduced.
If you decide to sell a home that has
modifications without a permit, you
may be required to tear down the
addition or conduct costly repairs.
Your first step is to hire a licensed
contractor. The property owner is
responsible for verifying building
permits have been secured prior to the
commencement of any work.
Projects That Require
A Building Permit Include:
Indoor
Additions
Air Conditioner
Basement Finish
Boilers
Chair Lifts
Demolition

need to accurately and clearly reflect
all work proposed. Any exterior work
must include a site plan for the
property.

within view of the public, until all
inspections have been completed and a
certificate has been issued.
Asbestos
If your house was built before October

accordance with Colorado Department
of Public Health and Environment.
Helpful Tips For Hiring Contractors
• Check references to make sure the
contractor is qualified for the
project.
• Check with Community
Development to verify your
contractor is licensed.
• Verify that the contractor has
workers’ compensation, liability
insurance, and the building permit
before any work begins on your
project.
• Any agreement you make with your
contractor should be in writing.
Requiring a written contract will
ensure that your project will be
completed with the desired results,
within the time frame specified,
and within the price range you
agreed to pay.

Tommy Davis Master Plan improvements at a public input
meeting on Tuesday, February 19, 2019, from 6:30-8:00 p.m.
in the Community Room at City Hall. The current project
will include park, trail, and stream improvements along
Goldsmith Gulch from Fair Avenue north through
Huntington Acres Park and the southern portion of Tommy
Davis Park.
The Huntington-Caley Master Plan was adopted by the City
in 2014. Phase I and Phase II of the planned improvements
were completed in 2015 and 2018, respectively. These
improvements included a pedestrian undercrossing of Caley
Avenue, extension of the regional trail, stream restoration,
braided gardens, and other trail improvements. The Tommy
Davis Park Master Plan was adopted in 2007. Tommy Davis
Park Phase I was completed in 2009 and included pond,
trail, and channel improvements to the north end of the
park.
If you are unable to attend this public meeting and would
like to provide input on the preliminary design, please visit
Village Voices at greenwoodvillagevoices.com, our new online
community engagement tool, starting February 15 where you

CONSTRUCTION
PHASE II OF NEW
MAINTENANCE
FACILITY
UNDERWAY
In February, the Village began
construction on Phase II of the
Maintenance Facility to address
inadequate space needs for operations
of the Parks, Trails, and Recreation
and Public Works departments. The
construction project includes a new
administrative/office building to
replace the existing administrative/
office building at 10001 East Costilla
Avenue. The improvements will create
a more productive and efficient work
environment, reflect the proper image
of the Village, and ensure staff
Greenwood Village Maintenance Facility Southwest Perspective
continues to deliver high quality
services to residents and businesses in
the future.
The Greenwood Village Maintenance
Facility was built in 1994 to house
park and street maintenance services
which included 37 regular employees,
19 seasonal workers, and maintenance
of 150 vehicles for all Village
operations. Due to the increase in the
levels of service and investment in
infrastructure by the Village starting in
1994 and continuing into the late
1990s, the maintenance facility
became home-base for all Parks
Maintenance services and Public
Works including Engineering that was
relocated from City Hall. These
operations are responsible for 224 lane
miles of roadways, 193 acres of
developed parks, 43 miles of trails, 1.5
acres of floral beds, 49 miles of storm
sewer, 7 miles of master drainage ways,
254 acres of open space, and 53 acres
of streetscape and medians. Current
service levels require work by nearly 87
employees, 12 seasonal workers, and
maintenance of 251 vehicles for
Village operations.
Maintenance Facility improvements
were planned by the Village in two
phases. In 2013, Phase I of the
Maintenance Facility modifications
mainly occurred to the Emporia Street
parcel. Major areas that were addressed
included a new fleet maintenance
building; construction of a new
material storage building for snow and
ice control; expanded material bins to
allow for bulk purchasing of materials
such as mulch; and canopies for
Village equipment. In addition, a new
Police Department state-of-the-art
crime lab was renovated and
modernized at the City Hall
site as part of the project to
improve space needs for police
officers and staff and meet the
21st century demands of
policing.
Construction of Phase II of the
Maintenance Facility
improvements is anticipated to
be completed in nine months.
The project is fully funded
within the Village’s Capital
Improvement Program (CIP).
For more information, please
call Jeremy Hanak, Director
of Public Works at
303-708-6175 or email
jhanak@greenwoodvillage.com.
During construction, staff will
be relocated to temporary
housing/trailers west of the
existing Maintenance Facility
to ensure service delivery and
operations. GV

COYOTE ACTIVITY
INCREASING IN THE SPRING
COYOTES EXPECTED TO BEHAVE MORE
AGGRESSIVE TO PROTECT NEW PUPS
Wildlife experts indicate that most coyote and human
conflicts have been a direct result of human behavior such as
feeding coyotes, walking a dog without a leash, or leaving
food or water outside for your pets. Although these behaviors
may seem innocent, they are actually
harmful to you and your family, and
to the health and safety of the
coyote population.
Spring is denning season for coyotes
with new pups in the dens, and
coyotes are expected to behave more
aggressively. Citizens are encouraged
to take precautions when enjoying
the outdoors to prevent a negative
encounter with these wildlife
animals.
DO NOT FEED COYOTES
The feeding of coyotes by humans is one of the most harmful
actions man can inflict on coyotes and wild animal
populations. It is essential to minimize human/coyote
conflict as well the health and well-being of coyotes to not be
fed by humans. Coyotes used to being fed become habituated
to human-provided food and alter their foraging and hunting
behavior. The feeding of coyotes encourages them to remain
in residential areas, increasing their encounters with pets and
humans.
IF A COYOTE APPROACHES YOU
Be as Big, Mean, and Loud as possible
• Wave your arms and throw objects at the coyote
• Shout in a deep, loud and authoritative voice
• DO NOT RUN or turn your back on the coyote
• Face the coyote and back away slowly
• If attacked, fight back with your fists and feet
What You Can Do:
• Never feed coyotes! Intentionally feeding coyotes is
illegal and these laws will be enforced.
• Keep pet food and water inside.
• Discourage others from feeding coyotes.
• Do not touch young coyotes. A coyote that appears
orphaned most often is not; the mother is usually nearby.
• Teach children not to feed, play with, or pet coyotes.
• Do not give coyotes the opportunity to get into your
garbage; keep garbage in sealed containers with secure lids.
• Remove attractants from your yard such as pet food, water
sources, bird feeders and fallen fruit.
• Fully enclose gardens and compost piles.
KEEP YOUR DOGS ON A LEASH
As coyotes adapt to their surroundings, they have discovered
that humans provide a sufficient source for food, water, and
shelter. Coyotes will feed on whatever is available to them,
including your household pets. While some attacks on pets
have been known to occur in backyards, many coyote-pet
interactions occur when a household pet is allowed to roam
free.
What You Can Do:
• Keep pets on a six-foot leash when walking at all times.
It is illegal to have your dog off a leash and the law will
be enforced.
• Never allow your pets to “play” with a coyote.
• Pick up small pets if confronted by a coyote.

GENERAL INTEREST
• Always supervise your pet when outside,
especially at dawn and dusk.
• Never leave cats or dogs outside after dark.
• If you must leave your pet outside, secure it in a
fully enclosed kennel.
• Keep your pets up-to-date on vaccinations.
REPORT COYOTE
BEHAVIOR AND ACTIVITY
Please call the Greenwood Village Police
Department at 303-773-2525 with information on
coyote sightings. The Police Department is actively
keeping a record of coyote activity in the Village
which will assist the Village in tracking the coyote
population. GV
DID YOU KNOW?
• The average weight of coyotes in the Denver-Metro area is 29
pounds (about the same size as a cocker spaniel).
• October through February are the months of the year where we
see the most conflict between urban coyotes and humans/pets.
• The majority of people are not actively hazing coyotes when they
come across them. One of the simplest and easiest ways to haze a
coyote is to run directly at the coyote, hands in the air and
screaming like a crazed person. Coyotes that have been effectively
hazed are much more likely to develop fear of humans and move
along to a new habitat area.
These facts were taken from a recent biological study of urban coyotes in the Denver-
Metro area.
