B. Wright, Fred Janssen, Larry Gilford, Lee Jones Minutes of the April 21 meeting were read and approved. A proposed subdivision of the Delaware-Elati, Stanford, Tuft block was discussed. This was brought to our attention by Mr. Ferenc whose address is 4500 South Elati. Mr. Sparks who resides at the corner of Stanford and Fox Streets had indicated that he is not in favor of opening up the street parallel to the ravine crossing his property. However, Mr. Ferenc indicated he though that if Manager Flint was to contact him and explain the value of the street following the water course, that he would go along with the subdivision plan. Mr. Gansler was also to be contacted by Manager Flint to determine if an outlet on Elati Street could be arranged through Mr. Gansler's property to connect with Tuft Street. Mr. Mack and Mr. Delew presented a request for permission to build homes of a 650 sq. ft. size in the section now in the city between Lipan and Jason Streets and between Union and Layton streets. The reason for this request was that they felt if they annexed this area to Englewood in order to obtain water, it would be necessary to have the Commission's approval. The Commission felt it unwise to downgrade this area as the County Planning Commission has the zoning considerably higher than the 650 sq.feet homes that were · planned. It was the opinion that the area not be accepted on a lesser basis than the County Planning Commission already had it zoned. Three members of the Board of Adjustment and Appeals were present in order to ask some questions before setting up their final organization. These members were J. E. Wilson, Stan Miles, and Sam Hill. Motion was made to adjourn. Respectfully submitted, Lee R.

The minutes of the previous meeting were read and approved. As we did not have a quorum, no final decision was reached on the matters at hand. Mr. Van Pelt was requesting some answer on the question to the subdivision of property in the Huron-Galapago, Stanford-Tuft block of which the south 300 feet of this block was to be subdivided. He was informed that a 75 foot front would be required for the lots subdivided and the Huron, Galapago, and Tuft Streets would have to be dedicated to provide for full 60 foot streets as well as the proper alignment of these streets. There was some question as to whether or not Galapago could be dedicated through the remaining north 300 feet of the block which is in another ownership. Mr. Van Pelt was told that a suitable turn around would be acceptable north of Tufts on Galapago if Galapago could not be dedicated through the entire block between Tuft and Stanford. The Colesman Realty Company submitted a plat of the south end of the blocks Sherman to Logan, Hampden and Jefferson area for a new shopping unit. The Commission tentatively agreed to vacate Grant Street and the alleys where they join Jefferson if proper access could be maintained to the south end of Grant and the Grant-Logan alleys and that a further dedication of a 25 ft. strip along the north side of Jefferson could be obtained with at least 15 ft. radiuses on the intersections of Sherman-Jefferson and Logan- Jefferson and that 15 ft. was to be dedicated on the west side of Logan, north of Jefferson so that access to the parking lot could be made without obstructing the traffic on Logan. It was further recommended that additional parking area should be obtained to maintain a 3 to 1 ratio of the parking area to the building area. There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned. Respectfully submitted, Lee R. Jones Acting Secretary I I I
