was pointed out to him that consideration should be given beforehand to the serious drainage
problem existing in the area.

plat of the Hayes Sub-division be approved subject to certain conditions,

understanding on the proposed Hayes Subdivision Plat, the tentative
approval be rescinded and the plat be returned to The Planning Commission
for further consideration.

Mr. Richard Simon, Attorney, appeared with Mr. E. J. Clark, property owner , and Mr. Don
Kirkman , prospective buyer of property located between East Bates Avenue and East Cornell
Avenue and South Ogden Street and South Clar'kson Street. Mr. Simon stated that it is the
desire of Mr. Kirkman to purchase this property from Mr. Clark provided approval of a
platting can be secured from The Planning Commission and Council.
The gentlemen were advised that this property is located such that until the engineering
report regarding storm drainage in this area is received and studied, no consideration
can be given to platting.
It was felt that the engineering report, which is presently :in the making, will soon be
available and Mr. Simon was advised to keep in touch with the City Manager regarding the
report and if said report covers the area completely enough, consideration could possibly
be given the problem at the next meeting of The Planning Commission on November 17, 1955 .
Mr. Richard Simon, Attorney, with specific reference to greenhouses, called attention to
the wording of paragraph a., Sub-section 2, Section 6, Article Five, Page 56 of the pro-
posed new zoning ordinance and asked for some further clarification or interpretation.

M-2 District.

ENGLEWOOD PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING
November 17, 1955
Members Present: Janssen, Jones, Romans, Rudd
Members Absent: Guilford
The meeting was called to order by Chairman Janssen at 10:05 A . M ..
Mr. Laverne Adamson, 4525 South Delaware Street and Mr. J. P. Fairall, 3556 South Clarkson
appeared to discuss the possibility of obtaining permission to construct two duplexes on
lots 31-35 inclusive, Block 4, Higgins South Broadway Heights, located on the West side of
South Emerson Street between East Hampden Avenue and East Jefferson Avenue.
The gentlemen were advised that the present zoning of this area is R-1-D which restricts
construction to one family units with 60 foot frontages and until such time that this zoning
might be changed to an R-2 District, it would be impossible to recommend that permission
for duplexes be given.
It was suggested that a letter could be directed to the Planning Commission requesting that
further study be given to rezoning of this area to an R-2 District in 1956 when studies for
such zoning amendments are made.
Mr. Orville Beam of 1510 Glenarm Street, Denver, representing Mr. Edward Alexander, appeared
to show and discuss a revised plat plan for the proposed Hayes Subdivision located between
West Oxford Avenue and West Quincy Avenue and West of South Jason Street extended. The revised
plat includes an area which is shown as the Western portions of lots 11-12-13-14-15-1 6 and
all of lot 17. The original plat did not include this section which would have been isolated
and landlocked. By replatting to include the above mentioned section, the developers will
gain two additional building sites.
The revised plat indicated 10 feet as the total width of utility easements between certain
sites and Mr. Beam was advised that this feature would have to be changed to show a total
of 16 foot wide utility easements and must extend through the full width or depth of the
sites. The revised plat showed the .location of Oxford Place as being between lots 23 and
24 and Mr. Beam was advised that if the developers so desired, it would be acceptable to
relocate this street along the South lot lines of lots 19 and 20.
It was pointed out in further discussion that the street shown on the plat as South Mariposa
Street is actually more nearly in line with the street known as South Lipan and for this
reason, the Planning Commission would recommend the newly platted street be also known as
South Lipan Street.
Johes moved:
Romans seconded: that The Planning Commission recommend to Council that the revised plat
of the Hayes Subdivision be approved, subject to the following conditions:
That all utility easements between building sites· be shown as a total of
16 feet wide and to extend the full width or depth of the sites involved.
That, if so desired by the developers, the street to be known as Oxford
Place may be located either between lots 23 and 24 or along the South lot
lines of lots 19 and 20.
That the street intersecting the Subdivision North and South be known as
South Lipan Street instead of South Mariposa Street.
