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. The meeting was adjourned at 1:10 P. M. v - Approved: ~~~~~- John D.

M. Mr. P. G. Lull, 575 West Mansfield Avenue , presented a plat plan showing Block 17, Logandale Addition and Lull Heights which area is bounded by Lehigh Avenue on the North , South Elati Street on the East, West Mansfield Avenue on the South and South Fox Street on the West. The area is intersected Northeast to Southwest by Logandale Boulevard and The Denver City Ditch. Mr. Lull requested approval of the Planning Board to vacate the portion of Logandale · Boulevard involved in this area for the purpose of enlarging building sites and allowing additional building sites in both Lull Heights and Block 17, Lo g andale Addition. Moved , Weigand; seconded, Rudd, that the Plannin g Board recommend to Council that the portion of Logandale Boulevard bounded on the West by Block 17, Logandale Addition and the East line of South Fox Street, on the East by Lull Heights , on the North by the South line of West Lehi g h Avenue and on the South by the North line o ~ West Mansfield Avenue, be vacated pro- vided all easements for existing sewer lines and other utilities be retained by the City and other conditions be met to the satisfaction of the City Attorney; also, provided that the expense of legal publication involved in the vacation be borne by the petitioner. Roll Call: Ayes: Guilford, Romans , Jones, Wright , Rudd, Weigand. Nays: None Absent: Janssen PAGE 84 Miss Dangny Larson of 555 West Oxford Avenue sent request to the Board for approval for vacation of the portion of the alley between South Elati Street and South Fox Street ex- tending Northward from Oxford to the Denver City Ditch. Due to the Ditch crossing, this is a dead-end alley and the Board reacted favorably toward recommendation of vacation provided the petitioner is agreeable to standing the expense involved in the vacation procedure. · Mr. Rudd advised the Board that he would make further contact with the petitioner so that action can be taken at a later date if so desired. Mr. Hamilton, owner of property at 2805 South Bannock Street and Mr. Adams, his prospective buyer, from Denver both appeared to request that this property be re~zoned from present R-1 zoning to proper zonihg for use as wholesale glass and glazing business. It was pointed out that the building was, for many years, used for a neighborhood grocery business and after a fire in the building, it was remodeled for use as a combination residence and advertising office. The gentlemen were advised that the building became non-conforming when R-1 zoning became effective and further non-conforming when it was remodeled after the fire. To change the type of business at this time, in an otherwise residential zoning, would be impossible without specific re-zoning. Moved, Weigand; seconded, Jones that the application for re-zoning be rejected. Roll Call: Ayes: Guilford , Romans, Jones, Wright , Rudd, Weigand Nays: None Absent: Janssen Mr. Walter K. Bobay appeared with a sketch showing the proposed park and playground development being considered for the area generally located between the South Drive In Theatre, South Lipan Street, West Layton Avenue and Pecos Street and now owned by the City of Englewood; said project to be sponsored by The Junior Chamber of Commerce and other civic groups. Moved, Jones; seconded, Romans that The Plinning Board redommend to Council that a study be made to determine whether the City can provide and make available a plat and topographical survey showing necessary information for both future City needs and current needs of the sponsors proposing to develop the park and playground area generally bounded by The South Drive In Theatre, South Lipan Street, South Pecos Street and West Layton Avenue, which property is owned by the City. Roll Call: Ayes: Guilford, Romans, Jones, Wright, Rudd, Weigand Nays: None Absent: Janssen Mr. A. L. Tucker, 2955 South Steele Street, Denver, appeared to request approval for re-zoning of lot 46 and the South 20 feet of lot 47 , Block 2, Higgins Broadway Addition. The property is presently zoned R-3, but, as Mr . Tucker pointed out, the 45 foot frontage which exists on these two lots does not make for a desirable building site for a multiple unit. Mr. Tucker originally owned lots 46-47-48-49 and 50 but due to the necessity of selling off lots 48-49-50 and five feet of lot 47 to the City of Englewood for highway right-of-way , he is now left with the undersized lot area. Mr. Tucker stated that he would desire re-zoning 0· which would permit him to build a small store or office building. After discussion, the Board appeared favorable to the request for such re-zoning but advised Mr. Tucker that before action could be taken, it would be necessary for him to return to a meeting at a later date with a plot plan indicating thereon the type and position of the building that he proposes to bu~ld. The meeting was adjourned at 12:30 P. M. Approved: ~~~~~- John D.
