MAYOR RON reports 

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

are active in helping to maintain and preserve the open 

spaces we enjoy.” 

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. 

For questions, please call 303-486-5749. 

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

Association 

(HOA) Rules 

And Regulations 

Residents should 

consult their Homeowners Association 

for review and approval of the project 

prior to submitting the permit 

application to the Village. 

How To Apply For A Permit 

Please submit your building permit 

application to the Community 

Development Department in person, 

online at greenwoodvillage.com, 

or by email at 

comdev@greenwoodvillage.com. Plans 

need to accurately and clearly reflect 

all work proposed. Any exterior work 

must include a site plan for the 

property. 

Issuance Of Permit 

The permit is required to be posted 

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 

12, 1988, an asbestos report for the 

area of work will be required in 

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.

PUBLIC INPUT MEETING 

GOLDSMITH GULCH IMPROVEMENTS 

FROM HUNTINGTON ACRES PARK 

TO TOMMY DAVIS PARK 

Citizens are invited to provide input on the preliminary 

design for the next phase of the Huntington-Caley and 

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

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.
