Lininger appeared with a letter from Marvin Greer , Professional Engineer , concerning the problem of developing the area next to Big Dry Creek. (Letter in file.) They also asked the Board what was needed to present a completed plat. Commission advised them to check with the Army Engineers concerning a study made by them of Big Dry Creek; and also to present a topographical map of the area they desire to be annexed. Carl Moeller, 955 South Steele Street, Denver, inquired as to the possibility of building a tri-level home at the east ends of lots 18, 19 and 20, Block 7, Jackson Broadway Heights. He would have no access to a public roadway and his front and back yards would not be sufficient footage. It was suggested to him that he contact Mr. Gillpatrick about securing the fronts of the mentioned lots so he may have access to a street and also to contact him to endeavor to create platting of the whole block. Mr . O. W. Yeo , 2650 South Broadway, Denver , pres e nt e d a plat for the Jensen Subdivision, located west of Quincy Acres. After checking same, the Commission suggested he check with Mr. Lee Jones concerning utility easements, the City Engineer concerning sewer easements; and asked him to present a topographical map of the area at the next P. C. meeting. They also suggested he check with Mr. Jensen about the possibility of dedicating land for streets in the undeveloped area. Mr. Walter Bobay presented his final plat of Block 4, Bobay Heights, for signatures. Mr. Earl Morris and Mr. Walter Boggs, were present upon the sug g estion of the Zoning Board of Adjustment. Mr. Boggs, spokesman, presented Mr. Morris' problem. Mr . Morris bought a lot with two houses on it ( asnall one in the rear and a basement house in front). This was in the County when he purchased it. He finished the basement house after it was annexed to the City qf En g lewood. He now wants to rent the small house in · the rear and finds it will be illegal. It was suggested to them that this is a legal problem and asked Mr. Morris to acquire certified copies of the two County building permits and the one Englewood building permit and present them to the Planning Commission. They will then refer this matter to the City Attorney for final recommendation . At an informal me e ting held Tuesday evening, August 9, 1955, with Jones, Guilford, Weigand and Rudd attending, it was suggested to the Commission that they recommend to Council that the City of Englewood adopt the Denver Building Code with a few exceptions. After discussion, Weigand moved: Wright seconded: That the Council consider the advisability of adopting by reference the following chapters of the existing building code for the City and County of Denver, to-wit: Chapter 4 to 36 and 44 to 52, all numbers inclusive, 5 4, 39-41, 43, and all of 37 except the next to last sentence of sub-paragraph (b ) o f section 3702 of said chapter 3 7 , together with all amendments to said chapters adopt e d; that chapters 1, 2 and 3 , of said Denver code be revised by the Englewood City Attorney to conform with Englewood administrat i ve requirements and procedures. PAGE 100 That Council further consider the advisability of also ;.adopting the Denver Housin g Code* based upon environmental sanitation requirements , subject to revision of administrative provisions thereon to conform with Englewood administrative requireme nts and procedures. It is the opinion of the commission that such action should be=taken at this time in order to coincide with pending adoption of the new zoning code proposed for Englewood, and that adoption of the Denver Codes, recently designed to conform with modern construction knowledge and methods, would be of great benefit to the City of Englewood and a logical expansion of uniform building practice within the metropolitan district .
