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., September 29, 1955. The meeting was adjourned at 10:45 P. M. Approved: John D.

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. I I I I I I PAGE 109 Mrs. Alice McKinley, 3472 South Cherokee attended the meeting to point out that the proposed new zoning includes her residence in C-1 District. The property is described as lot 10 and the North 12! feet of lot 11, McKinley's Subdivision. Mrs. McKinley requested that the proposed North line of C-1 District, between South Cherokee Street and the South Cherokee- South Bannock alley, be moved South to exclude lot 10 and the North 12~ feet of lot 11, Mc- Kinley's Subdivision, establishing R-1-D zoning for that property. Wright moved: Guilford seconded: That action be deferred until members of the Planning Commission coul d view the premises and study the merits of the request. Roll Call: Ayes: Jones, Janssen, Guilford, Wright, Rudd, Romans Nays: None Absent: Weigand. Mr. Rudd presented, in the absence of Mr. Paul Ambrose, a plan, prepared by Harmon & O'Donnell, for the proposed widening of South Bannock Street in the 3300 Block South, which would move the East curb 13 feet East and provide for six curb cuts for entrance and exit to the parking lot located on the East side of South Bannock Street. Romans moved: Wright seconded: that the plan be approved as presented. Roll Call: Ayes: Jones, Janssen, Guilford, Wright, Rudd, Romans Nays: None Absent: Weigand Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Delmont, 3511 South Logan appeared to determine the possibility of operating an automobile body and fender repair shop at that location. The property is located partly in Commercial District ,and partly in R-2 District under present zoning and under these circumstances, a shop of this kind would not be permissable. The proposed new zoning for this property is Commercial and Mr. and Mrs. Delmont were advised that if they would care to wait for passage of the ordinance, the new zoning would permit a shop such as they desire. Mrs. Francis Chaput of 3372 South Pearl Street inquired of the possibility of constructing a four unit apartment house on the property at 3375 South Washington Street. Mrs. Chaput was advised that the present zoning of this property is R-2 and would permit construction of a two unit dwelling but nothing larger. It was also pointed out that the proposed new zoning for the property is R-1-D which permits only one family units and Mrs. Chaput was advised that if she is interested in construction of a two unit structure, a permit for same should be secured before the new zoning becomes efnective. Mrs. Romans was excused from the meeting at this time. Mr. Ben Groussman, 76 Madison Street, Denver, Colorado appeared to request permission to construct multiple family units on property located between South Galapago Street and South Fox Street and West Oxford Avenue and The City Ditch, lots 12-31 inclusive, Block 10, Jackson Broadway Heights. Mr. Groussman was advised that the zoning of all of this property, both present and proposed, is for single family units only and multiple units would not be permitted. The matter of certain vacations and dedications of alleyways on various Englewood Public School sites, which matter was deferred from September 15, 1955 awaiting an engineering study, was again presented for consideration. Comments were received from The City Engineer indicating no objections to the proposals from an engineering standpoint and suggesting that the City retain utility easements in all vacations. Wright moved: Jones seconded: Vacate: Dedicate: that The Planning Commission recommend to Council that the following vacations and dedications involving Englewood Public School property be approved, retaining proper utility easements in all vacations: NEW LOWELL SCHOOL SITE The South 84 feet of the 16 foot wide alley between South Logan and South Pennsylvania in the 3700 Block, Englewood, Colo., further described as an alley 16 fe~t wide and 84 feet long laying West of and adjacent to the South 9 feet of Lot 5, and all of lots 6, 7 and 8, Mitchem's Subdividion, Englewood, Arapahoe County, Colorado.

M. Chairman Janssen read the following letter: October 13, 1955 To The Members of Englewood's Planning Commission and Other City Departments Concerned. Gentlemen: Because we are a<lopting the Denver 1953 Building Code and there will be some delay in working out several of the main points of difference, especially in connection with the administrative section,· your recommendation to Council would be greatly appreciated re- garding the interim use of the 1953 Denver Code. Specifically and if you so intend and agree, would you please recommend to Council that those parts of the 1953 Denver Code which are now intended for adoption for Englewood's permanent use be authorized to the Building Department by letter for use in the interim period? This recommendation, I am sure, will greatly facilitate our handling planning and design of new buildings during this interim period. This request is not intended to circumvent legal requirements but merely to facilitate handling matters in a practical manner. Without such an arrangement I cannot see certain ty~es of building plans being continued until Council actually passes on the new, proposed Building Code. These planners will just have to hold off for the number of months it will take us to effect the change. This is restrictive and certainly is not so by design of Council. Your reply would be appreciated for referral to Council in time for its recessed meeting Monday, October 17, 1955. cc: Mr. Banta Mr. Rudd Very truly yours, /s / James D.
