Planning Commission Members Present: Guilford, Jones, Wright, Weigand, Rudd Planning Commission Members Absent: Janssen, Romans Also present was a committee representing The Englewood Board of Realtors headed by Mr. Charles Johnson, Secretary. The purpose of the meeting was to hear and consider recommendations of The Englewood Board of Realtors relative to the proposed new zoning ordinance and map previously presented to them for their criticism and comments. The meeting was called to order by Vice-Chairman Guilford at 8:05 P. M. Upon calling the meeting to order, Vice-Chairman Guilfvrd called upon Mr. Charles Johnson, Secretary of The Board of Realtors and spokesman for the Committee, to proceed with his presentation. Mr. Johnson read the following letter and pointed out its features on the wall map: ENGLEWOOD BOARD OF REALTORS Englewood , Colorado September 26 , 1955 We have read and discussed the complete ordinance presented to us by The Planning Commission, and do hereby submit the following recommendations from the Englewood Board of Realtors, whom we as a committee are representi ng, in the recommendations submitted here: The Englewood Board of Realtors feels that the present zoning adapted to single family units is adequate and therefore we are referring our recommendations to multiple family units. We also feel that the right to rebuild property , that is lost thru fire and catastrophe, should be the right of the property owner, without separate application to any regulatory- body. We feel careful consideration should be given to the heights of buildings per story of each structure. Likewise we feel, in all fairness to the property owner, that the Board of Adjustment Zoning should meet oftener than their present semi-annual meeting, as proposed. MULTIPLE UNITS We agree that from Hampden to Yale and from Lincoln-Sherman alleys to Logan-Penn alley should be Multiple Units with 450 sq. feet allowable for each family. We recommend that from Acoma to Huron and from Union to Chenango; 50 x 125 feet be the Minimum for sites with 800 square feet per family be allowed. We however advise and recommend that from Kenyon to Lehigh and from Logan Street to the Lincoln-Broadway alley , should be zoned R-3 Multiple Units allowing 450 square feet per unit. DOUBLES We recommend that all doubles be of masonery-construction and be constructed on minimum sites of 50 x 125 feet, with a maximum of two-stories, allowing 450 square feet per family. Likewise, we feel that all land between Kenyon and Chenango from Lincoln-Broadway alley to Clarkson should be single-family units , 850 square feet of floor area per family, and be constructed on 50 x 125 feet sites. PAGE 108 COMMERCIAL Further in recommending , we believe .the area from Hampden to Yale from Logan-Penn alleys West to the Railroad tracks should be an area where office-type-buildings can be constructed within the restrictions of this ordinance, built with two-stories or more. The piece of land 125 x 126 feet South of Chenango and East of Broadway to Lincoln street should be zoned commercial. From Yale to Hampden and from Acoma-Bannock alley to Lincoln Sherman alley should be commercial zoning. We feel from Ithica place to Kenyon; Cherokee-Delaware alley to the Galapago-Huron alley should be zoned from R-1-D zoning to Light Industry. We all strongly and sincerely believe in the recommendations we have submitted, a nd we feel that every point we have mentioned will be a benefit to the city of Englewood and its citizens if so adopted. At this time we would like to thank you for your courteous consideration and kind interest you have shown in these recommendations (we are s u ggesting in the previous pages) and knowing you will give these every consideration for the benefit of all concerned, we THANK YOU AGAIN. Sincerely, ENGLEWOOD BOARD OF REALTORS /s / Charles Johnson Secretary After some discussion, the above points brought out in the letter were deferred for Planning Commission Action until the next regular meeting of the members to be held Thursday A.

M. by Chairman Janssen. Mrs. Nadine Meshko, 4901 South Whitaker Lane presented a pencil sketch of a plot of ground, irregular in shape, South of West Chenango Avenue between South Kalamath Street and South Whitaker Lane. Mrs. Meshko desires to subdivide the plot into six building sites. Two of the proposed sites have existing buildings and the dividing property line would run through an existing garage building. Also, one of the sites, as proposed, would not have street access. Mrs. Meshko was adv±sed that it would not be possible to approve building sites with common buildings thereon under separate ownership and suggested that the plat plan be revised to make only one site of the area which now has existing buildings, which revision would also eliminate the proposed site with no street frontage. It was suggested to Mrs. Meshko that she have a surveyor's sketch prepared showing all correct measurements of property lines and proposed easements along with surrounding features , returning to a feature meet- ing for Planning Commission action. Mr. Edward Alexander presented a proposed plat for the Hayes Subdivision the location of which is between West Oxford Avenue and West Quincy Avenue and West of South Jason Street extended. After discussion; Rudd moved: Jones seconded: That the Planning Commission approve the proposed plat subject to proper numbering of lots with! ail l numbered lots shown fronting on an open street, with all dedicators to participate in signing the plat; and the sub- division to be shown to extend from West Quincy Avenue to West Oxford Avenue. Roll Call: Ayes: Jones, Janssen, Guilford, Wright, Rudd, Romans Nays: None Absent: Weigand Mr. Alexander was advised to bring the plat to the next regular meeting of the Commission, October 13 , 1955 for final approval.
