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. The meeting was adjourned at 12:05 P. M. Approved: ------ John D.

Members Absent: Guilford, Romans, Rudd, Weigand. The meeting was called to order by Chairman Janssen at 10~05 A. M. Mr. W.J. Plank and Mr. Wilbur Yoder, prospective buyers of Lots 17-24 inclusive, Block 5, Logandale, appeared to request rezoning of the above mentioned lots from "A-1" to Special "R-1". It was pointed out to the gentlemen that the pro posed new zoning would automatically rezone this area to R-1, if accepted, but that it might be two months or more before the ordinance is passed. Mrs. Romans entered and was seated with the Board. Jones, Moved, Wright, Seconded, that the Planning Board recommend to Council that, upon receipt of formal application from the petitioners, showing ownership, that Lots 17-24 inclusive and /or any other lots adjacent to 17 or 24 on the East side of Block 5, Logandale, be rezoned from present A-1 zoning to Special R-1 zoning to permit construction of one family residences with living areas of not less than 850 square f~et, excluding garages and breezeways, with lot areas of not less than 7,200 square feet with 60 foot frontages, the cost of legal publications involved in rezoning to be borne by the petitioners. Roll Call: Ayes: Jones, Janssen, Wright, Romans. Nays: None. Absent: Weigand, Guilford, Rudd. --------------- PAGE 86 Mr. Ovid M. Hepler, 4117 South Galapago, presented proposed plan showing a parcel of land in Block 24, Jackson Broadway Heights, bounded by 60 feet facing Oxford Avenue on the North, the City Ditch on the West, the Huron (non-existent)-Galapago Street alley on the East and undeveloped land on the South which is owned by three different individuals. (See minutes of March 31, 1955 meeting.) Huron Street, ,either vacated or never dedicated, is not open between Princeton Avenue on the South and Oxford Avenue on the North. Mr. Hepler's present plan provided for tiling the City Ditch from Oxford Avenue Southward to the South End of his property and making access to the two Southerly sites of the three planned by a turn- around drive with a 90 foot diameter. Mr. Hepler had been advised previously to endeavor to secure dedications for street purposes from the land owners to the South. Through copies of correspondence between Mr. Hepler and said land owner, received by the Planning Board, it has been shown that Mr. Hepler was not successful in securing such dedications. Dr. Weigand entered and was seated with the Board. The problem was reviewed for his benefit. Jones, Moved, Weigand Seconded, that Mr. Hepler be referred to the City Engineer for assistance in preparing a proposed plat providing for a forty foot roadway, to be known as Huron Street, over tiled City Ditch to extend from Oxford Avenue to the South end of his property along the West line of the sites involved, bearing in mind Oxfo r d AventE regraded as proposed, along with possibility of installation of inverted syphon at Oxford Avenue for future sewer service. Roll Call: Ayes: Jones, Janssen, Wright, Romans, Weigand Nays: None. Absent: Guilford, Rudd. Mr. Don Kirkman of 10080 West Evans, Denver, Colorado, presented a proposed re-platting of a tract of land located between Cornell and Bates Avenues and South Ogden and South Clarkson Streets. The plat not being complete as to all necessary dedications for street and utility purposes, along with necessary dedication for proper drainage, Mr. Kirkman was referred to the City Engineer for assistance in preparing a corrected plat. The Recording Secretary was directed to forward to the City Engineer a memorandum showing the following recommendations as absolute minimum requirements for platting, zoning and use in replatting the area between East Bates and East Cornell Avenues and South Ogden and South Clarkson Streets: 1. Not more than three equal building sites on West side of Ogden from the "Clarke" residence to Cornell Avenue. 2. Not more than two equal building sites on East side of Emerson from "Clarke" residence to Cornell Avenue. 3. Not more than five equal building sites on East side of Emerson from the "Clarke" residence to Bates Avenue. 4. Not more than seven equal building sites on West side of Emerson Avenue. 5. Dedication of fifty feet for Emerson Street between Bates Avenue and Cornell Avenue. 6. Dedication of ten feet along the North line of Cornell Avenue between Emerson Street and Ogden Street. 7. Proper dedication along the South line of Bates Avenue to straighten out the South line of the Avenue. 8. Dedication of sixteen foot total easement or alley for utilities along rear of all lots. 9. Dedication of drainage easement from Ogden to Emerson located to specification of City Engineer. 10. Plat to contain restrictions providing for construction of single family residences only, with floor area of not less than 850 square feet, exclusive of garages and breezeways. Chairman Janssen was excused from the meeting at this time and Mr. Jones took the chair. Mr. Boothby, realtor, appeared with Mr. arld Mrs. Allen E. Cryder of 2775 South Grant, which residence Mr. Boothby had listed and sold to the Cryders as a double residence type build- ing, later learning that the residence is located in an R-1 zone. It was the desire of all parties to learn if the continued operation of the rental part of the house was illegal inasmuch as the house was originally constructed and permitted as a double and has , for a number of years, been in such use. It was the advise of the Board that since the building had been permitted and such use had been established, that it could be recognized as a legal non-conforming use; however, it would be necessary to determine that a permit had been issued for such use, otherwise such use would be non-conforming and could be abated by City Council action. I I I I PAGE 87 Elaine King, 5000 South Whitaker Lane appeared to discuss the possibility of resubdividing Lot 6, Whitaker Acres, which site is approximately 280 feet wide on Whitaker Lane and approximately 220 feet deep. Mrs. King stated that she desired to retain a frontage for her present residence of about 150 feet and divide the remaining area into two additional sites. This plan would allow less than the 75 foot required frontage unless some method of subdividing can be arranged to shorten the frontage of .the existing developed site. Mrs. King was advised to prepare a plat which would provide for 75 foot frontages on all sites and appear at a future meeting for formal actifln. Mr. Walter Bobay, 4117 South Galapago, appeared to show a plat of a Sub-division to be known as Block 4, Bobay Heights, which area is bounded by Lipan Street on the East, the City Ditch on the West, Layton Avenue on the North and Chenango Avenue on the South. This area has not, as yet, been annexed to the City and the plat, as shown, failed to provide for proper street dedications along the West side of Lipan Street or proper t utility easements. Weigand, Moved, Romans, Seconded, that upon annexation, the plat of Block 4, Bobay Heights be accepted, subject to a 5 foot additional dedication along the West side of South L~pan between Layton Avenue and Chenango Avenue and an 8 foot utility easement along the West line of all lots s from Chenango Avenue to Layton Avenue and an 8 foot easement along the South line of lot 6 and an 8 foot easement along the North line of lots 7 and 8. Roll Call:. Ayes: Romans, Wright, Weigand, Jones. Nays: None. Absent: Guilford, Janssen, Rudd. Mr. J. H. Huempfner, 3798 South Elati, appeared at the meeting to discuss the possibility of widening Lehigh Avenue to full width street along the North line from South Delaware Street to South Elati Street . Mr. Huempfner pointed out that he desires to install curb, gutter and sidewalk along his property line and that he was prepared to make proper dedications necessary for the proposed widening along his property. It was also brought out that there is a very steep incline near the City Ditch and that it is a serious source of danger to the children attending the Maddox School who must walk in the street to reach their destination. Weigand, Moved, Wright, Seconded, that the Planning Board refer the matter of widening Lehigh Avenue along the North side from South Delaware to South Elati Street to the City Engineer, requesting the City Engineer to survey the area and report to the Planning Board the result of his findings. Roll Call: Ayes: Romans, Wright, Weigand, Jones Nays: None Absent: Guilford, Janssen, Rudd. (Above referred to the City Engineer through copy of these minutes. Sec.) Mr. Jones presented the problem of zoning of the area generally bounded by South Hur o n Street , West Stanford Avenue, South Santa Fe Drive, and West Mansfield Avenue, which area is in the process of being annexed to the Cityof Englewood. The Board agreed that a field trip would be made Saturday Morning, June 18, 1955, by the Board members and a recommendation for zoning would be prepared and presented to Council, Monday evening, June 20, 1955. The meeting was adjourned at 12:00 Noon. Approved: John D.

Planning Consultants Present: Harman and Henninger. There were also 38 citizens in attendance. Vice Chairman Guilford spoke and introduced Mr. Harman and Mr. Henninger. Mr. Henninger spoke regarding highlights of the new zoning ordinance. Mr. Harman spoke regarding the new zoning map. The following citizens spoke voicing their disapprovals of moving the M-1 zone from Galapage- Fox alley east to Elati-Fox alley in the 2900 block. All of the speakers indicated that they felt that since most of the area was now in residence use, it should remain as such rather than entice further industry in the neighborhood. George E. Perrin -2956 South Elati F. Chepeleuko -3000 South Elati J. M. John -2985 South Elati D. C. McKean -2925 South Elati C. J. Quesnoy -2917 South Fox Mrs. Coleman, repr~senting the Coleman Broom Works, spoke regarding tre changing of zoning in the 3000 block between Galapago and Huron, wherein the new proposed zoning makes the entire block R-2-B rather than Industrial as is the present zoning. Mrs. Coleman expressed a desire to have the zoning remain industrial. Mr. Yoeman stated that he is interested in building on a site in the 3200 block of South Elati. It has fifty foot frontage and the new zoning requires sixty foot frontages. Mr. Yoeman inquired if the new zoning would make it impossible to build a one family residence on this lot. Mr. Yoeman was advised that a case of this nature would be referred to the Zoning Board of Adjustment who no doubt would permit such use. Mr. M. C. Bott of 3101 South Downing stated that he has eleven 25 foot lots in the 3100 block of South Downing. This footage would not be divisible by the minimum 60 foot frontage required and Mr. Bott asked if he would be allowed to build on a 50 foot front basis. Mr. Bott wfls ad~ised that he should attend a Planning Commission meeting for action. I I I
