Emerson, north of Cornell and all the remaining sites to be substantially 60 ft. with 10 ft. additional to be dedicated on the north side of Cornell from Ogden to Emerson, residences to be single family units of 850 sq. ft., exclusive of garage and breezeway. Two Hepler brothers visited the Comm~ssion and submitted sketch of their proposed sites, being lots 1 to 11 incl, 36 to 40 incl., Block 24, Jackson Broadway Heights, divided into seven building sites. This area includes that portion between So. Galapago St. and City Ditch, and south of Oxford Ave. The commission 1suggested to let City Engineer take a look at the situation and look up the title of city ditch, and to determine what the ease- ment would be to serve this area and that the Heplers meet with the city engineer for alignment and grade. Resolution made and approved that land adjacent to Block 10 of F. P. Gaumer's Broadway Heights addition, be zoned not lower than the zoning approved for the said Block 10. Donald Salter's plan was submitted to the commission. This consists of northwest corner, SE! of NW! of Section 3, T5S, R68W in the city of Englewood. This parcel is bounded on the north by W. Kenyon Ave. and to the west by So. DelawareAve., with City Ditch an g ling across east and south area, surveyed by David Nichols.

Meeting adjourned at 1:30 p.m. Respectfully submitted , Maud Coffey, Secretary MEMO #A MEMORANDUM TO THE ENGLEWOOD CITY COUNCIL REGARDING ACTION OR RECOMMENDATION OF THE ENGLEWOOD PLANNING COMMISSION: Date: April 2, 1953 Subject: Proposed re-zoning of Bellewood annexation area set for public hearing April 6, 1953. This area was zoned upon annexation pursuant to recommendation of the commission which was, and now is of the opinion that an Rl-A classification is desirable for the district , particularly for that portion thereof not yet developed. Recommendation was made upon consideration of the area as a whole , and the commission is of the opinion that any contemplated rezoning should be considered on the same basis. Accordingly the commi~sion makes the following recommendations: 1. That the present Rl-A zoning re retailed, at least in such portions of the district as are presently undeveloped. 2. That, if council be unwilling to retain an Rl-A zoning, in whole or in greater part, the district be referred back to the commission for r e -study, having regard to matters developed upon hearing, and that the commission be authorized to employ expert plannin g assistance in connection with such study. 3. If council shall not see fit to retain such zoning or refer the question back to the commission, then in order to preserve the overall value of the district to the city and to minimize the additional ser~ice and school burden in relation to value which would result from a g eneral and substantial down grading, the commission recommends further re-zoning and conditions as follows: a) That the residential zoning be extended to include all portions of the district lying East of the Broadway-Lincoln alley, and that, pending such rezoning, no permits for business or commercial construction be granted East of said alley. P~GE 32 MEMO #B b) That all portions lying West of the Broadway-Lincoln alley be zon e d C-1 except that area between Grant Avenue and Belleview which we recommend be zoned C-2. This will provide a substantial increase in tax value over service and school burden. c) That, as a condition of the re-zonin g of th e residential portion of the district to a modified R-1, council procure the dedication or conveyance of Logan Street at Bel l evi e w as a part of the city street plan so as to conclusively eliminate the necessity of purchase or condemnation after the re-zoning is accomplished, Logan Street being th e only available main use street between Broadway and Clarkson. THE ENGLEWOOD PLANNING COMMISSION BY: MEMORANDUM TO THE ENGLEWOOD CITY COUNCIL REGARDING ACTION OR RECOMMENDATION OF THE ENGLEWOOD PLANNING COMMISSION: Date: April 2, 1953 Subject: General Zoning Policy On or about October , 1951, the commission prepared and submitted to council a proposed city zoning code. The council held public hearings thereon, received various objections, and returned the proposed code to the commission for further consideration. The com- mission reconsidered with re g ard to objections made, amended the same and re-submitted to council on or about March, 1952. No further action has been taken with re g ard to adoption. The proposed code was drafted by the commission after comprehensive study and after survey and consultation by and with a plannin g engineer employed by the commission, and was advanced as a necessary guide for the city's expanding development. Since re-submission of the plan, the g eneral development of the city has continued necessarily in accordance with the existing zoning code which, in the commission's opinion, is outmoded and in conflict with the proposed zoning in many respects. On the other hand , the commission has attempted to influence development either in favor of the proposed zoning , or, where enforcement thereof provided impractical because of continued inconsistent development under the existing code, has yielded to compromise between the two codes . The result is that development has been , and is now progressing under several inconsistent standards, and will so continue to the disadvantage of the city until a single comprehensive plan is adopted. Since re-submission of the proposed code , the city has annexed much additional territory, some of which is now without any zonin g whatever, some of which is inadequately or superficially zoned because of insufficient notice, opportunity or faciliti e s to study and survey the area prior to ann e xation , and some of which, althou g h properly zoned in view of proposed development, will not be able to be held to that standard because of adjacent development which must be permitted under the existing code. In the commission's opinion, portions of the proposed code may now prove to be un- enforcible or ineffectual for the reasons above stated, and it is expected that continuing revision will be required until adoption is accomplished in order to keep abreast of development which is not harmonious therewith. The commission believes that the fore g oing zoning situation is detrimental to the best interests · of the city, and, in order to minimize and check in so far as possible the undesirable effects thereof, has adopted a general policy that it will apply, as a standard for recommendation in all cases referred to it or otherwise to come within its jurisdiction , said proposed zoning code as re-submitted to council and as amended, changed or enlarged from time to time by resolution of the commission made prior to final adoption of the code by council. The commission further makes the following recommendations: 1. That the proposed zoning code as re-submitted to council in March, 1952, be revised to reflect subsequent development inconsistent therewith, and be enlar g ed to include territory subsequently annexed, and, as so revised and enlarged , be pushed to final adoption. In connection ther ew ith the commission regards it necessary that a planning consultant be employed to survey, advise and assist the commission regarding all territory annexed to the city beginning with the Wollen Weber annexation, and re- garding areas affected by changes, exceptions or development since March , 1952, which are inconsistent with the proposed code as re-submitted . The council may regard it advisable to extend such survey throughout the city. 2. That formal notice be g iven the commission of the filing of petitions for future annexations to the city; that the commission be given a reasonable period of not less than forty-five days a f ter receipt of such notice in which to make adequate study of any such annexation and report of its recommendations to the council; that the commission be authorized to employ a planning consultant to assist and advise in connection with such study; that the acceptance of any such annexation or petition for annexation be reserved by the council until report of the commission is received and that acceptance be conditioned upon zoning and other restrictions which council may see fit to impose upon acceptance in consequence of the commission's report and recom- mendations, or upon council's own motion. THE ENGLEWOOD PLANNING COMMISSION BY: I I I I I I PAGE 33 MEMO #C Date: April 2, 1953 Subject: E. J. Clarke proposed subdivision, Bates-Co nell, Ogden-Emerson .

Not more than three equal building sites on west side of Ogden from Clarke residence to Cornell. 2. Not more than two equal building sites on east side of Emerson from Clarke residence to Cornell. 3.

THE ENGLEWOOD PLANNING COMMISSION BY: MEMO #D Da te April 2, 1953 Sub ject: Zoning of Ox-Bow Subdivisi.on upon annexation. •· Comm ission recommends acceptance of subdivision in accordance with plat prepared by Norman J. Costellan and signed by Charles and Emma Hague on October 28, 1952, subject to the following changes, conditions and zoning: 1. All building sites on Huron to have a minimum frontage of sixty feet and a minimum area of 7,200 square feet so as to conform as nearly as possible with seventy-five foot frontage set up on we st side of Huron. 2. Plat to contain restrictions providing for construction of single family residences only, with floor area of not less than 850 square feet, exclusive of garages and breezeways. 3. That Fox Street be dedicated through subdivision to conform with city street plat. 4. Dedication of sewer, water and utility easements according to specification and approval by city engineer and planning commission. THE ENGLEWOOD PLANNING COMMISSION BY: MEMO #E Date: April 2, 1953 Re: Request for re-zoning of building site owned by Mr. Coffey at Jeffersonand Clarkson from R-2 to R-3 to permit construction of a four-family dwellin g . ' Commission recommends that th e request be deni~d for the following reasons: 1. This district is predominately single family. 2. Neither grade nor right of way width for new Hampden Drive has been established by the State Highway De p artment, and it is possible that final determination will leave insufficient area under the commission's standard, for the type of building proposed even if deemed desirable for the district. PLANNING COMMISSION BY: L . M. Guilford Vice Chairman PAGE 34 MEMO #F Date: April 6 , 1953 RE: Proposed re-zoning of Acoma-Delaware, Layton-Belleview area from Rl-A to lower residential classification. Informal application was received by the commission on April 4, 1953, for recommendation to council by April 6, 1953. Although the commission stands ready to re-study this area as well as all other areas recently zoned upon annexation, provided sufficient time is given for such re-study with or without the assistance of a planning consultant as requested April 2, 1953, the commission cannot at thie time make a recommendation on the above area, and believes it would be unwise to re-zone without careful re-study of the area and areas adjoining, as a whole.

Flint, Maud Coffey Meeting convened at 9:30 a.m. Bill Smith, photographer, 4296 So. Cherman and Mr. Peterson, owner of property at 2900 So. Acoma, visited the meeting. Mr. Smyth wishes to build a photo studio at 2900 So. Acoma , corner E. Bates and So. Acoma. Motion made and carried, we recommend that the council take favorable action on the application for rezoning of the back 50 foot of the two lots, 50 foot by 50 foot. Mrs. Donald Gibbon and father, 4051 So. Pearl visited the meeting. They wish to make a two unit out of a single family residence at this location. At present it is zoned Rl, only a single unit dwelling. Their request was refused. They decided to re-design their plans and eliminate a second kitchen. Mr. Flint advised that he would take the matter up with the city attorney and would call them. Mr. Ralph Bullock of the Bullock Mortuary, 1375 E. Hampden visited the Commission. He wishes to build an addition to the north of his present building, facing So. Layette St. Present zoning is C2. The technical point is what is considered his back yard, as C2 requires that there shall be a rear yard of not less than 25 ft. provided that on interior lots no accessory buildings shall be permitted within 25 ft. of the center line of the alley. The Commission decided that this was a legal point in their specific case the rear yard would be the portion along the alley line. Attorney Richard Simon presented plan of Block #49, Evanston Broadway of seven lots at So. Downing and E. Hampden, owned by Peter E. and Oneida Voorheis, for re-zoning for Standard Oil Co . Five lots,,#20, 21, 22, 23, and 24 are zoned for commercial zone and lots #18, and 19 under R2. The Commission referred him to Board of Adjustments for hi s problem of rezoning of lot 19.

Mr. Ames presented plan between E. Bates and E. Corn ell on Clarkson Street. He wishes to extend his greenhouse 60 foot east on Clarkson. The Commission turned this down, since Clarkson is a main use street. Ext ens ion denied on street side and recommended he build to the south. Mr. Homer Lizar inquired concerning the Jaeger property, 5600 So. Broadway. He was informed that all portions lying west of the Broadway-Lincoln alley were recommended to be zoned Cl, except that area between Grand Ave. and Belleview be zoned C2 which includes the Jaeger property. Lee Schillinger, contractor presented plan of W. Chenango to Layton, between So. Bannock and So. Broadway of 303 feet. He owns six lots on Broadway north of Chenango. Wishes rezoning to Cl. The Commission recommended that Mr. Schillinger look into the possibilities of this area, specially the owner south of Brunton Machine Works. Dave Williams from the R. F. Linstedt architect office presented plan for the proposed development of So. Broadway Locker Plant, known as Frozen Food Lockers, south of Stanford, 4501 So. Broadway.
