Mr. Jones reported that the J & K Construction Co. for Ambrose-Williams Park 'N Shop
center wishes perhaps a bay in the Parking Lot for storing dirt in excavating for new
shopping center in the 3300 Block on So. Broadway. About 2000 yards is what they

administrative action and perhaps a horse-trading deal for dirt.

Paul Ambrose and contractor visited the meeting. MF.1)Ambrose reported that Mr. Keegan,
building inspector wanted him to clear the zoning, etc. for the new additional Park 'N
Shop area. The Planning Commission informed him, that as long as they abided by the present
zoning and fire regulations and building code, that was all that was necessary.
Mr. Ausfahl presented letter by Ira E. McKinley to the Planning Commission, as follows:
Subject: Zoning the tract of land located on the west side of So. Cherokee St. and
north side of W. Hampden St., fronting on W. Hampden St. for 146 ft. running west from
the northwest corner of So. Cherokee and W. Hampden. Request the subject tract of land,
be zoned as a C-2 Commercial area for 146 ft. frontage on W. Hampden and 157 ft. deep on
the west boundary and 162.1 ft. on the east boundary.
1. The reason for this request is that the city of Englewood took a right of way
43 ft. wide off the frontage of this tract, which was originally zoned commercial for
125 ft. deep, and the City Ordinance still states 125 ft. deep from the north line of
West Hampden is commercial, this would leave a strip of .land 32 ft. which would be
useless, as it could not be commercial unless zoned as such nor is it large enough or
situated well enough to be used otherwise.
2. The property of Adaline Bullen located and adjoining this tract on the west is
being used as a dog boarding place, for the full 157 ft. deep at this time, and has been
so used.
3. The property owned by Norgrens located on the west will be used commercially
for the full 157 ft. also.
Respectfully submitte,
(SIGNED) Ira. E. McKinley
