Baaed upon the economic survey by the Planning Staff, this area, by itself, would not be an economic asset. 2. It would seem inadvisable to create further irregularity in the City borders. 3. The tentatively agreed upon population goals would be negated by adding additional residential area. 4. The area is not necessarily identified with Englewood's economy. Respectfully submitted, By order of the City Planning and Zoning Commission /s/ Dorothy J. Romans Dorothy J. Romans Recording Secretary" The City Clerk read a letter addressed to the Englewood City Council dated May 1, 1961, from Mr. R. F.

The area is presently being served by the City or Englewood water system under Dis- tributor's Contract with the Valley Water District, with all water mains in place. 2. The area is presently being served by the the City or Englewood sewage treatment plant under Connector's Agreement with the Valley Sanitation District, with all trunk lines and laterals in place. 3. The loss of this area to another city would mean loss or revenue tor the Water Department and possibly for the Sewage Treatment Plant. 4. The City has an investment in three water wells and a pumping station, located in the Centennial Acres area, which provides well water to be pumped directly into the system of the Valley Water District during the aU111Der peak pumping periods at a considerable saving to the City. 5. Should this area, along with the balance or the area comprising the Valley Water District, be annexed to Englewood, the city could acquire the entire distribution system, according to contract, at no cost. Respectfully submitted, ENGLEWOOD WATER AND SEWER BOARD By: Robert F. Frantz Chairman" I I I I I I Minute• of May 1, 1961 Councilman McLellan discussed the reconunendation from the City Planning and Zoning Co1111ission that the petition be denied. He stated that it was not fair to consider the petition for the 60 acre tract without also considering the ultimate proposed annexation of all that area northeast of South Lowell Boulevard and West Belleview Avenue. Discussion ensued. Mr. Robert Downing, Secretary-Manager of the Englewood Chamber of Conunerce, stated that petitions had been in the process of circulation for the annexation of the balance of the area under discussion; but upon the release of the information ~IS&t the City Planning and Zoning Cormnission was unfavorable to the annexation of the 60 acre tract under discussion that the circulation for the annexation of the balance of the area was discontinued. He suggested that on information or receipt of advice that the City Planning and Zoning Cormnission or the City Council is desirous of having that area included within the City of Englewood that the petition circulation 118y be resumed. Discussion ensued. Councilman Brownewell discussed the need for the City to look to the future especially in the matter of protection of the water and sewer service areas. He stated that the Englewood Water Board is continually negotiating for an adequate source or water supply for Englewood and that there was a possibility that Englewood would have surplus water in the future with no place to sell it. Councilman Braun defended the reconunendation from the City Planning and Zoning Colllllission, stating that the request for consideration of the proposed annexation involved only that 60 acre area which was, or will be, developed for residential pur- poses only. He emphasized that if the entire area is to annex to Englewood, including the shopping center, it would be advisable to have the petition for annexation on that entire area rather than a petition for annexation of a portion of a residential property when owners of the balance may not ever petition for annexation. Discussion ensued.

FRANTZ'S LE'l91'ER ON THE MATTER AND THE MINUTES OF THIS MEETING RELATING TO TRIS PROPOSED ANNEXATION •. Councilman Brownewell suggested that the Council accept the proposed annexation and order a bill for an ordinance annexing the territory at this time. Discussion ensued. Councilman Woods stated that he preferred the annexation of the area as a package including residential and cormnercial. Discussion ensued as to whether circulation of petitions for annexation on the balance of the area under consider- ation would be beat served by approval of the 60 acre tract annexation or by referral ot the 60 acre tract to the City Planning and Zoning Cormnission for further dis- cussion. Councilman Woods expressed the view that the Council was showing its good taith by not acting on the reconanendation to deny but forwarding the additional information in the form of Mr. Prantz's letter to the Planning Cormnission for their reconsideration. Upon the call or the question, the vote resulted as follows: Ayes: Councilmen Woods, Miles, McLellan, Braun. Nays: Councilmen Martin, Brownewell, Kreiling.
