Mr. Charles F. Johnson, Secretary of The Board of Realtors, a visitor throughout the meeting, extended an invitation to the entire Planning Board membership to attend a breakfast meeting of their Board any Wednesday morning at 8:00 A. M. at the Penn-Wood Restaurant, with the thought that it might give both groups a chance to become better acquainted and open the way for closer cooperation by The Board of Realtors in future planning and zoning of the City. The meeting was adjourned at 12:35 P. M. Approved: ~~~~~- John D.

M. Mr. Aaron Barge, 1910 0. Street, Gering, Nebraska, who is the owner of rental property at 3647 South Sherman Street, Englewood, appeared to determine if The Board would approve his installation of combination type curbing and sidewalk in front of the above mentioned Englewood property. It was his thought that, due to a very steep slope from his yard down to the street, it would be very expensive to install other than combination type. Mr. Barge was advised that inasmuch as South Sherman Street, in this area, has been designated as a main use street which in the near future is expected to carry comparatively heavy traffic and since it is City policy to refrain from combination type curb and sidewalk on main use streets, The Planning Board can only insist on vertical curbing with five foot sidewalk separate. Mr. Barge was also advised to seek the assistaqce of the City Engineer after taking out permit for vertical curb and separate sidewalk, for purpose of arriving at proper positions for same. Mr. P. H. Isenhart, 1682 South Lincoln Street, Denver, revealed plans for an automobile sales lot which he desires to situate on lots 34-35-36-37-38, Block i1, Evanston Broadway Heights, wnich plot is located on the West side of the 4100 Block, South Broadway, Mr. Isenhart has previously operated a similar lot in Denver upon which still exists a metal type office building which he owns and which must be moved in the near future. Mr. Isenhart asked whether or not th~s type of building would be permitted in Englewood and if not could permission be granted for temporary storage of the building on the Englewood location awaiting sale of it. Mr. Isenhart was advised that it was the opinion of the Board that to endeavor to move this building for permanent use could easily become more expensive than erecting a new one of accepted type. Metal buildings do not comply with fire requirements and would involve a great deal of remodeling to bring it up to standard. Mr. Isenhard was advised that .he should consult the Building Inspector to determine whether or not it would be practical to attempt this remodeling. He was also referred to the Building Inspector with regard to a permit for temporary storage of the building. Mr. Robert U. Shockley, 2895 South Corona, appeared to discuss zoning problems relative to proper set-back of his proposed motor court at 4690-94 South Broadway. The present zoning is R-3 which does allow this type of construction but requires from the property line on all sides. Mr. Shockley desires to construct the court with the 'building on property line on all sides thus allowing for more units and more central parking area. Present C-2 zoning would allow such procedure except that the front set-back is to be determined by the present pred o minant t set-back in the block. Moved, Weigand; seconded, Wright, that The Planning Board recommend to Council that lots 19-20-21-22, Block 57, South Broadway Heights, be re-zoned from present zoning to C-2 zoning to permit construction of a motor court subject to approval of specific plans of the buildings and parking facilities; the expense of legal publications involved in re-zoning to be bor n e c by the petitioner.

Subdivision, presently bounded by Layton Avenue on th~ North , South Broadway on the East, Chenango Avenue on the South and Delaware Str e et on the West. The streets, from East to West, Acoma, Bannock and Cherokee have, as yet, not been opened. The land between South Bannock as proposed and South Acoma as proposed is now owned by the Public Schools on which construction of a new school is planned . The property, of main interest to Mr. Garrett , lies between Delaware Street, Layton Avenue, Chenang o Avenue and proposed Bannock Street; proposed Cherokee Street, which has not been dedicated would intersect this property from North to South. West of proposed Cherokee Street are eight lots 296 fee t deep lying East and West. All of the lots are occupied by houses on the West end and all have ample space on the East end for building sites provided Cherokee Street can be opened. East of proposed Cherokee Street, the lots are laid out North and South in two sections; one section facin g Layton Avenue, the othe r facin g Chenango Avenue, consequently there are two lots along the East side of proposed Ch~rokee Str e et. The lot to th e South , or facing Chenango Avenue, has an existing house which is located West of what normally would be the East line of proposed Cherokee Street. Mr. Garrett, from a petition which was ex- amined by The Board, was able to show that all property own e rs involved were a g reeable to dedication of enough land for street purposes, 45 feet along the West side and 3 feet alon g the East side, except the owners of the property at the North end of the West side , the South end of the West side and the South lot on the East side next to proposed Cherokee Street. Mr. Garrett ask the Board for suggestions as to how these remaining property owners might be convinced that it would also be to their advantage to dedicate property for street purposes. After careful review of the proposed plan , Mr. Garrett was advised that the Board and th e City would take the problem under advisement as to their ability to assist him. Mr. Garrett was also advised that he should continue to endeavor to secure complete dedication of land for street and utility purposes by his own efforts rather than involve the City in such practice. Mr. C. Zeitlin of 167 Winona Court, Denver, appeared to discuss problems relatin g to some property owned by him and located -·between Erickson ,Drive on .the North and privately owned property on the South between his property and Little Dry Creek, Clarkson Street on the East and the new Lowell School property on the West. Mr. Zeitlin's property is under R-1-D proposed zoning and there would be about 6 or 7 home sites or proper area. Mr . Zeitlin inquired of the possibility of constructing at least two multiµe units on the property ad- jacent to Erickson Drive and if this would not be permitted under present proposed zonin g, then the possibility of asking for proper zoning f or this area to allow multiple dwelling s. Mr. Zeitlin was also concerned about the location of the North property line alon g Erickson Drive. Mr. Zeitlin was advised that it would not be the desire of the Planning Board to so change the proposed zoning; however , the possibility for this type of change would be discussed with the Planning Consultants, Harmon and O'Donnell, along with other similar problems, the results of said conference to be available at a later date.
