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.

M. Mr. Carl Gunther, 1485 Shepperd Street, Denver, appeared and showed a pencil sketch of Block 3, McClair's Forest Hill, which block is bounded by East Amherst Avenue, South Ogden Street, East Bates Avenue and South Emerson Street. Mr. Gunther expressed a desire to sub-divide approximately the Southwest one quarter of this area and showed certain I I I I I I PAGE 85 proposed dedications for street purposes both along the East side of South Emerson which is now only a 24.6 foot dedication and along the North side of East Bates Avenue. Mr. Gunther felt that his sketch showed provisions for three building sites. The Planning Board, after much discussion, advise d Mr. Gunther that his proposed sketch did not meet with minimum requirements for street dedications particularly along S outh Emerson Street and that if he desired to enlarge this feature along with standing the expense of covering the City Ditch which now crosses proposed South Emerson Street; also, endeavoring to interest the property owners North of his property in also dedicating, showing these features on a more detailed plan and returning to a future Planning Board meeting, the Board would then be in a better position to take action. Mr. Gunther was also advised that the Planning Board would have no objections to a building permit being issued for one dwelling to face on East Bates Avenue, provided proper lot area is maintained. Mr. R. C. Clements, 4620 South Galapago, appeared to show sketches of a proposed garage which of necessity would have to be located less than the minimum distance required from a neighboring property line. Mr. Clements was referred to the Zoning Board of Adjustment. Reverend S. E. Oakes of the Cherrelyn First Baptist Church, 43 0 0 South Lincoln Street showed plans for an addition to the church. The plans indicated the East end of the building to be only 2 feet from the alley property line. The minimum requirement in this instance is 3 feet. Referend Oakes was referred to the Zoning Board of Adjustment. Alice McKinley, 3472 South Cherokee Street, attended the meeting to call to the attention of the Board the fact that the new proposed zoning ordinance severs her property, lots 10 (50 feet) and the North 25 feet of lot 11, McKinley's Addition, making the North 60 feet residential and the South 15 feet Commercial. She desires to have the zoning line changed to exclude all of her pr o perty from Commercial zoning. Mrs. McKinley was advised that the matter would be brought to the attention of the Planning Consultants promptly to determine if this line could not be changed to the South line of Lot 11. Mr. Nat S. Sachter, Architect, attended to show a sketch of a proposed new Walgreen's Drug Store to be located at the Northwest corner of South Broadway and West 'Girard Avenue. Mr. Sachter inquired about various problems relative to the set-back regulations. After discussion, Mr. Sachter was advised to prepare a more detailed plan and return at a later meeting for approval.
