The property owners wishes to install California type curb. Much discussion took place as
to the advisability of such a curb. It was explained to them, that since De laware is a
main use street, that the California type curb would not be safe. Mr. Lane stated the
cost of regular curb and separate sidewalks would be only 30 cents per lineal foot, makin g
the cost only $7.50 per lot, additional cost over the California type curb. They were of
the opinion that most of the property owners on the other side of the str e et would not
consent. It was recommended by Mgr. Flint to create an improvement distr i ct thru the council,
and then the new street would be put in and property owners install curb and sidewalk.
Walter Botts, realtor visited the meetin g . He owns lots 15 to 24, inclusive, Evanston-
Broadway addition, at Floyd and Downing Streets. Before the annexation, this area was
zoned, four lots at R-3 and the other six lots, as R-2. Upon receipt of his tax bills, he
made inquiry at the county assessor's office and he was informed that the present zoning is
R-1 after annexation, about which he was very unhappy. Motion made by Mr. Jones that the
Planning Commission table the action of zoning, and study the situation, and come up with
a recommendation at the next meeting. Motion carried.
William Clarence Dolawy, a veterinarian visited the meeting. He was chosen the location of
502 E. Hampden Ave. for a vet e rinary hospital, and wished to check the zoning requirements
for that location. The Commission checked the zoning and found that this location was
included in the 100 foot frontage, zoned for C-2 which permits a veterinary hospital.
W. E . Brin, 2819 So. Broadway visited the meeting. He wishes to extend the front end of
his house to Broadway for commercial use, suc h as a jewelry store , etc. He was informed
that the present zoning is C-2 and such commercial use is permissable.
George H. Plank, 3895 So. Acoma visited the meeting. This property is on the corner of
Mansfield and Acoma Streets on the west side. He wishes to build another unit to his house,
to have two units instead of one. His problem is to have use of R-2 zoning in a R-1 area.
He was advised that the Commission would look at the situation and see if it should be held
as R-1 or that it is adviseable to chan g e the zoning .
R. C. Renolds of the Colorado Moulded Products Co. yisited the meeting. A struc~ure at
3859 So. Jason, lots 33 to 38 , inclusive, Block 12, Logandale, has been built for storage
for a contractor and has now abandoned use of it. He has contacted neighbors in that area
for permission for the manufacture of plastic lures, and they have consented. Since they
have outgrown their present location, in the 4000 block on So. Bannock, they wish to expand
in this new location. This would involve a change of zoning, as it is now agricultural.
This area had been studied and looked over previously, and it was moved and seconded that
the Commission recommend rezoning of this property from agricultural to M-1 classification.
Mrs. Dennis and a neighbor from theAfrican -American Episcopal Mission visited the meeting.
They wish to build a church at 3990 So. Kalamath, corner of Nasseau. It is now zoned for
agricultural. It was explained to them that the plan for that area is for light-industry
type ~f businesses. They own lots #2 3 and #24 and plan to build a cinder block stucco
building. They were advised that the Commission study the situation. They had previously
occupied the building at 3712 So. Jason St. which had been condemned because of no foundation,
just props. This property belongs to Rose Hopkins. They inquired as to the possibiliy of
them moving back to this location, provided a new foundation is constructed. They were
advised that the building inspector would take a look at this building and the matter would
come before the council. They were also advised . that within about 90 days, the Commission
would know what zoning would be decided upon at Kalamath and Nasseau Street area.
The matter of a sign of the First National Bank, about 12 x 25 ft. to set cornerwise on the
west side of Emerson St. and north side of Hampden, was brought before the Commission. This
sign would be set back 12 ft. from the property line. As Don Carney had previously explained
the bank plan to make it a very at±ractive sign and also landscape the corner. The Commission
recommended that installation of the sign be allowed with the specified setbacks and that
Mr. Flint so instruct the building inspector.
Ed Cartwright, attorney for P. G. Lull & Sons asked permission of the Planning Commission
to give him a resolution as follows, quote:
"Ratification is hereby made of authority heretofore granted to P. G. Lull
& Sons , a Co-Partnership, to divide Lot 1, Block 1, Lull Heights, Arapahoe County, Colorado
and to c o nstruct a single family dwelling on Lot 1, except the south 60 foot , Block l i Lull
Heights, Arapahoe Co unty, Colorado and a single family dwelling on the south 60 foot , Block
1 , Lull Heights, Arapahoe County, Colorado." -end of quote.
Motion made by Mr. Jones that the following resolution be adapted, ratifying the permission
theretofore granted P. G. Lull & Sons for said construction. Motion carried. The
resolution is to read as follows:
Secretary was instructed to send a letter to Mr. Cartwr±ght, sett i ng forth the resolution
as prepared by Mr. Guilford.
Chas. Schmucker, 4389 So. Bannock, corner W. Quincey and So. Bannock, wishes permission to
install green concrete between his present sidewalk and curb. He complained that he cannot
keep a lawn in this area, due to pedestrians walking on it constantly, The Commission did
not so recommend, due to the fact that Bannock is a main use street and it would be a
pedestrian hazard. ·

Ave. where he has erected a wall. This corner covers an area of 100 ft. on Broadway

along Broadway; also 30 ·ft. curb to be cut on Kenyon St. side, approximately 20 ft.
