He was advised that this situation would not be recognized as non-conforming. Mr. Charles Best of 3370 South Grant, asked if the off-street parking regulation under R-3 zoning would make his property non-conforming in that he is unable to furnish off-street parking. Mr. Best was advised that this regulation would not apply to existing residences. Mr. Charles Johnson of 2705 South Lincoln, asked for a full interpretation regarding off- street parking requirements. Mr. Henninger obliged by giving his full interpretation. Mr. N. L. Pearce of 3801 South Lincoln, who desires to construct a ten unit apartment house on the east side of the 3200 block of South Bannock, now zoned for such use, inquired if the proposed R-2-A zoning for this immediate area could not be changed to remain in R-3 zone so that upon completion of his structure, it would not become non-conforming. Mr. Pearce was referred to the Planning Commission. Mr. Howard B. Jewell of 3101 South Sherman pointed out that the proposed new zoning ordinance of that block calls for R-2 and expressed a desire for himself and others he names for R-3 zoning. Mr. Wm. Clayton, previously heard, expressed his disapproval · of the following parts of sections of the proposed new zoning ordinance: Article III, Section 3, Sub-section 3. Article II, Section ·6, Sub-section 2. Article II, Section 4, Sub-section 1. Article II, Section 1, Sub-section 2. Ar tic le II, Section 2, Sub-section 8. Mr. Charles Johnson of 2705 South Lincoln referred to Article V, Section 2, and inquired as to who would be expected to pay for registration of non-conforming uses. Mr. Johnson was informed that this matter had not, as yet, been determined; however, it is presumed that the City will bear such expenses. JDC:ejm John D.

Members Absent: Janssen, Guilford, Romans, Wright. A quorum not being presented an informal discussion of the following problems was begun at 10:00 A. M. Mrs. Rose Leino of 4775 South Broadway appeared to request re-zoning of Lots 33-34-35-36 and the South 20 feet of Lot 37, Block 16, Wollenweber's Broadway Heights, Second Addition, from present zoning to C-2 zoning to permit construction of a motor court. It was also brought out that in rezoning lots 29-30-31-32, Block 16, Wollenweber's Broadway Heights, Second Addition !see ordinance No. 19, Series of 1954), an error was made, on the part of the City in rezoning said lots from R-1 to R-3 zoning inasmuch as motor courts are not permitted in an R-3 zoning under the present zoning ordinance. A permit was issued and motel units have been constructed on Lots 29-30-31 and 32. The Recording Secretary was directed to prepare a memorandum to Council suggesting that Council, upon their own motion, rezone lots 29-30-31-32, Block 16, Wollenweber's Broadway Heights, Second Addition, from present R-3 zoning to C-2 zoning to permit construction of a motor court and in the same procedure, rezone lots 33-34-35-36 and the South 20 feet of Lot 37, _Block 16, Wollenweber's Broadway Heights, Second Addition, from present zoning to C-2 zon1~g to permit the construction of a motor court, cost of all publication to be borne by the City. PAGE 92 Mr. L. Norval Pearce of 3801 South Lincoln Street appeared and showed sketch of propos e d ten unit apartment building pl~nned for location on a .plot of ground located between South Bannock Street and the Acoma-Bannock Alley just north of the Miller's Super Market parking lot on the corner of Bannock and West Greenwood Avenue extending 101 feet North. The present zoning of the site is R-3 which allows such use; however, Mr. Pearce pointed out that the proposed new zoning calls for zoning of R-2-A which would not allow such use and even though Mr. Pearce realized that he could legally ask for and receive a building permit, it was not his desire to do so and find his property non-conforming upon enactment of the proposed new zoning ordinance. After study of the proposed plans presented , it was understood that ample off-street parking space would be available and the proper set-back along with back and side yard spacing was being considered in the plans. It was suggested tb 'Mr. Pearce that he proceed with building plans under the present zoning ordinance and acquire a building permit ac c ordingly. It was felt by the minority of the board present that what with the existing amount of Commercial and multi-family uses in the West one-half of the block involved, some serious consideration could be g iven by the Planning Commission to a change of all or some part of same to commercial zoning under which the project would conform in the future. Mr. Dan Marshall, 3385 South Bannock Street, appeared to discuss the possibility of including in the R-3 section of the proposed new zoning ordinance, a plot of ground located North of Kenyon Avenue between South Sherman Street and the Sherman-Grant Alley. It is the desire of Mr. Marshall to construct a small professional office building. The present R-2 or the proposed R-2-B zoning will neither afford such use. Due to the fact that there are other property owners in the same described area who have voiced a similar desire, it was suggested to Mr. Marshall that he contact these other property owners for the purpose of determining whether or not they would all be interested in such a use and return to the Planning Commission with his findings which could possibly influence a change in th e proposed zoning map. Mr . Ovid Hepler again appeared to show a revised plat of a portion of Block 24, Jackson Broadway Heights which portion consists of three proposed building sites located just South of West Oxford Avenue on the North and the City Ditch on the West. Mr. Hepler had been advised at the meeting of June 16 , 1955 to secure from th e City Engineer a profile showing the topographical study of the ·area which would involve the proposed grading of West Oxford. Since Mr. Barde, City Engineer, had been unable to make above mentioned survey in the interim, Mr. Hepler was advised to contact Mr . Barde again and endeavor to procure the survey before returning to the Planning Commission. Mrs. King of 5000 South Whitaker Lane, who attended the meeting of June 16, 1955, returned to present a proposed plan of re-dividing Lot 6, Whitaker Acres, by certificate of survey, into three building sites. The method of re-dividing of the plot, which has 280 feet frontage and is approximately 220 feet deep, was acceptable; however, there was nothing shown on the -proposal regarding a method of disposing of a serious drainage problem which is sure to exist in the area. Mrs. King was advised to have surveyor prepare a more detailed plan showing the topographical aspects as regards drainage and also show the proper easements necessary for drainage, re- turning to a future meeting for action. Mr. G. E. Ragsdale, 1236 Washington Street, p resented :a proposed plat of a portion of Block 10, Jackson Broadway Heights , located between South Galapago Street, South Fox Street, West Oxford Avenue and the City Ditch. Mr. Ragsdale's plan showed three of seven building sites to be undersized; while some of the other four were somewhat above minimg m requirements. Mr. Ragsdale was advised to prepare a revised sketch , redistributing the area so that all lots will meet minimum requirements; also showing proper easements for utilities , returnin g to a future meeting for action. Mr. Walter Simon , Architect, 1922 East 18th Avenue, Denver, presented building plans for additions and alterations to the Immanuel Lutheran Church , 3695 South Acoma Street. After discussion of the various aspects of the planning , it was determined that it should be referred to the Building Inspector for permit after clearance of the problem of side yard on the South side of the building. The present zoning ordinance calls for a seven foot side yard wnile the plans presented showed only three feet allowed. The pres e nt building allows only four feet , four inches. Mr. Simon was referred to the Zoning Board of Adjustment for clearance on the side yard problem; thence to the Building Inspector. Mr. Carl Moeller, 955 South Steel Street, Denver, inquired of the possibility of using the East ends of Lots 18-19-20, Block 7, Jackson Broadway Heights, which lots are located East of the City Ditch and West of the Fox Street-Galapago Street Alley. Mr. Moeller was uncertain about the lot area involved and there also exists a problem of access to the lots from Galapago Street due to the location of the City Ditch. I I I I I I PAGE 93 It wa s pointed out to Mr. Moeller that Mr. Robert L. Gillpatrick of 3890 South Galapago is planning a re-subdivision of land immediately West of the City Ditch which includes the West ends of the lots in question. It was suggested to Mr. Moeller that he contact Mr. Gillpatrick to endeavor to work out some plan to arrange for access from the roadway which is to serve the Gillpatrick property. Mr. Moeller was also advised to determine that the lot area involved will meet the minimum requi r ement of 7,200 square feet, returning to a future meeting for action. Mr. Leigh Whitehead of the Burgwin Engineering Company, 2657 South Broadway, presented a preliminary plat of the proposed Reese Sub-Division to be located, generally, South of West Quincy Avenue and immediately West and North of the City Ditch extending Westward to about the line of South Kalamath . After discussion, Mr. Jones asked for a copy of the preliminary plat for purposes of check- ing out the proper easements necessary for utilities. Mr. Jones indicated that he would contact the Burgwin Engineering Co. to make suggestions in preparing the final plat which can be submitted at a future meeting for action. Mrs. Wilson of Wilson and Wilson Realtors, appeared to ask for re-zoning of two properties, one located near Lehigh and Kalamath, the other near Jason and Mansfield. Mrs. Wilson was advised that since a quorum was not in attendance at the meeting no action could be taken recommending re-zoning and it was suggested that she return to the next meeting. There being no further problems presented, the discussion was closed at 1:15 P. M. Approved: ~~~~~- John D. Curtice Recording Secretary MEMORANDUM TO THE ENGLEWOOD CITY COUNCIL REGARDING ACTION OR RECOMMENDATION OF THE ENGLEWOOD PLANNING COMMISSION.

No action could be taken as the City Engineer's report was not yet available. Mr. Gorden Hayes of 1260 West Oxford Avenue appeared to inquire as to the possibility of extending Kalamath Street and Mariposa Street North to Oxford Avenue. Mr. Hayes was advised that this project would also be dependent upon an engineering report covering the area.
