Chairman Jones called the Denver Building Inspectors office and asked for the zoning
requirements in the area north of A. K. Wessels subdivision. He was informed that
Denver had no requirements as to the amount of floor space area for each residence.
It was then agreed that Mr. Wessels subdivision plat of the area between Amherst, Bates,
Franklin and Downing should be approved.
Mr. Rea asked for a ruling on the type of sidewalk to use on Downing from Yale to
Hampden. The decision was to be used as a precedence in considering similar conditions
on other streets. It was agreed that Downing was a through street and should have a
44 foot roadway, a two foot curb and gutter, and a four foot sidewalk separated from
the curb by three feet of parkway hereinafter referred to as a separate type sidewalk
and curb. It was further agreed that the t 100 feet of combination type sidewalk and
curb in th e 2900 block, West side should be removed and replaced by the city with the
separate type sidewalk and curb. It was ruled that all future sidewalk construction
on Downing from Amherst on the East and Bates Parkway on the west as far as Hampden
Avenue was to be separate type sidewalk and curb.
Meeting adjourned.
Respectfully submitted,
Dale H. Rea

PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING
September 25 , 1950
Discussion was held as to who we could get to take over the secretarial duties of the
Board. No decision was made. There were two or three possibilities that were to be
investigated.
Victor Hornbein gave a report on some of his thinking on the over-all zoning plan that
he felt should be considered as part of his study in the Englewood rezoning ordinance.
Items discussed were as follows:
A. Newly annexed area zoning.
B. The problem of Broadway-Hampden commercial development.
C. Prevent lowering of standards.
D. Tentative map to be developed for commercial developments.
E. School and shopping areas have common problems.
F. Exceptions limited to entire change in areas instead of small portions.
The Board discussed the width of streets surrounding the new shopping center at the
old City Hall site. It was decided to ask for a minimum of 44 feet curb to curb
width on Greenwood and Girard and a 55 feet curb to curb widLh on Bannock Street.
Dale Rea brought up the problem of setting up standards for sidewalk and gutters which
could be presented to contractors so metal forms could be designed to these standards.
Two types of walks considered were the combination walk and gutter, which would be
designed to conform with FHA minimum requirements and the separate walk and vertical
curb, which would be designed alongthe line of the various types of streets along
which these walks were built. Mr. Rea is to furnish the Board with these detail
drawings as standards.
Motion was made not to allow a vacation of Acoma Street or the Acoma-Broadway alley,
north of Jefferson. Acoma will have to be considered as an access street to a future
off-street parking area which is now known as Commerce Field.
Motion was made to review all tax title property in the City of Englewood and provide
a map showing plots of land to take steps to acquire these plots in the name of the
City of Englewood.
A budget of $5,000 was approved for submission to the Council for the Planning Com-·
mission's operating budget for 1951.
A resolution was passed that the City have a map made showing all city owned property
which would become a part of the permanent record for future use.
Respectfully submitted,
Lee Jones, Acting Secretary
