Respectfully submitted, THE ENGLEWOOD PLANNING COMMISSION By: Fred Janssen Chairman * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * 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. Roll Call: Ayes: Jones, Romans, Rudd , Janssen Nays: None Absent: Guilford PAGE 116 Mr. E. D. Stree g el, 1967 South Broadway , appeared, representin g Mr . V. A. Buckmaster and Mr. Swoell, builders, to discuss the type of construction permissable on lots 17-20 inclusive , Block 1 , Wollenweber's Broadway Heights. This property is located on the East side of the 4300 Block South Acoma and has a total of 100 feet frontage. There are existing duplexes in the block with only 50 foot frontages. The present zonin g is R-2-A. Mr. Streegel stated that the builders desired to construct two duplexes on the property involved , finishing one basement for extra living quarters. This would mean that there would be five units on 100 foot frontage. After some discussion , Mr. Streegel was referred to the Zoning Board of Adjustment since this particular problem would not come under the jurisdiction of the Planning Commission. Mrs . B. M. Roessner , #14 Lynn Road , appeared to discuss her plan for enlarging her business building known as 500-508 East Hampden Avenue and desired to know if her present facilities for off-street parking would be ample for the planned enlargement. Mrs. Roessner was referred to the Zoning Board of Adjustment. The meeting was adjourned at 12:00 Noon·; Approved : John Curtice Recording Secretary MEMORANDUM TO THE ENGLEWOOD CITY COUNCIL REGARDING ACTION OR RECOMMENDATION OF THE ENGLEWOOD PLANNING COMMISSION.

M. Mr. Harvey Duncan , representative of Western Wood Excelsior Manufacturing Company, 10183 East Whittier Boulevard, La Habra, California appeared with Mr. Ernest Tolliver, of Suburban and Mountain Realty Company to discuss the possiblity of locating a branch plant of the company in Englewood, Colorado. Mr. Duncan explained the basic principals of operation in their manufacturing process, explaining that it was a quiet operation free of dust and smoke and that the products were inflammable only as much as any wood products were inflammable and were not combustible. After some discussion, The Planning Commission did not feel that it could g ive an immediate interpretation to the Zoning Ordinance as to the proper zone district even though the restrictions in M-1 District did not specifically name excelsior manufacture. It was deem e d necessary to contact Mr. William Henninger, Planning Consultant, to endeavor to arrive at the true intent of the re·s trict ions in M-1 District as related to the products in question. Mr. Duncan then pointed out that the only desirable site that seemed to be available was a three acre area located just North of West Oxford Avenue between the Jason-Kalamath alley extended and South Jason Street extended. This tract is now zoned R-1-D and adjoins the M-1 District. Mr. Duncan requested that the Plannin g Commission consider approval for the rezoning of this area to M-1 District provided their operations will be permitted in M-1 District. I I
