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 I I I PAGE 117 Mr. Duncan was advised that Mr. Rudd would contact Mr. Henninger for an interpretation of excelsior manufacturing as related to the zoning ordinance which information would be available to Mr. Duncan at a later date. Mr. Duncan wa s aiso s advise~ re nat R a J p e ~mmidn c f o t «re z o nin ~ w o u~~c have to be presented by the property owner for Planning Commission approval and Council action. Mr. Janssen asked to be excused from the meeting and Mr. Guilford took the chair. Mr. Jones entered and was seated. Dr. A. C. Lininger, along with Mr. Lee Schillinger and Mr. William Larrick appeared to show a proposed annexation map and a topographical survey of the Lininger Tract located South of Belleview and West of South Broadway and again asked for Planning Commission approval for annexation. (See Planning Commission minutes of July 28, 1955.) A desire for Englewood Water service was stated as the reason for petitioning for annexation. Council has previously approved the issuance of a distributor's contract in the area; however, Dr. Lininger and his associates do not desire to maintain a water system which would be necessary outside the city limits. Dr. Lininger stated that under their current plan, a light industrial plant known as The Metron Instrument Company would locate their plant just South of Belleview Avenue; that there were sites for about seventy homes already laid out with a possibility of about thir~y­ five more to be developed and the land on both sides of Big Dry Creek which intersects the area would be developed into a private golf course-park. Dr. Lininger asked that immediate attention be given the project as the Metron Company have indicated a desire to option the site in which they are interested provided it can be zoned properly. The gentlemen were advised that before any formal action could be taken, a more complete sketch of the layout and subdividing of the area must be provided. Dr. Lininger was asked to complete this sketch and present to Mr. Rudd, City Manager, for study. Mr. William Larrick called attention to a building site described as lots 24 and 25, Block 2, Westview Subdivision located on the Northeast corner of the intersection of South Pearl Street and East Girard Avenue which site was previously in R-3 Zone and was being retained by Mr. Larrick for such use. The new zoning of the site is R-1-D. It was Mr. Larrick's desire that the Planning Commission give consideration to rezoning the site to the original R-3 status. Mr. Larrick was advised that the Planning Commission would study the situation to determine it's merits for rezoning to R-3 District. Mr. Gene Dunham and Mr. Richard Sheldon appeared to discuss a piece of property 108 feet wide by 300 feet deep located between West Tufts Avenue, Wes t Union Avenue, South Jason Street and South Kalamath Street. Mr. Dunham expressed a desire to construct four one family homes on this plot, two on South Jason Street and two on South Kalamath Street. By dividing the area into four sites, the lot areas would only be approximately 54 feet by 127 feet which is considerably sub-standard since the zone district is R-1-B which requires 9,000 square feet and an absolute minimum of 60 foot frontage. Mr. Dunham was advised to endeavor to acquire additional land from adjacent property owners to bring the lots up to standard size. Mr. Robert Kelley from the office of Mr. Richard Simon, Attorney, a ppeared, representing Mr. E. J. Clark owner of property located between East Cornell Avenue, East Bates Avenue, South Ogden Street and South Clarkson Street. (See Planning Commission meeting minutes of November 3, 1955.) Approval of a proposed subdivision plat was previously held up awaiting completion of the preliminary engineering study for a storm drainage system which involves this area. The engineering study, now available, was presented by Mr. Rudd ind it was determined that the recommendations call for a 72 inch storm drain to extend through a number of the pro- posed building sites, lots 1-7 inclusive of the proposed subdivision. After further discussion, Jones moved: Rudd seconded: that the applicant be advised to submit a proposal providing for a 16 foot easement for storm drainage through the tract having the same inlet and outlet as now exists to be properly graded by the applicant for drainage, such proposal subject to approval of the City Engineer and the City Attorney. Roll Call: Ayes: Jones, Romans, Rudd, Guilford Nays: None Absent: Janssen The recording secretary was directed to write a letter to Mr. Simon · with copies to Mr. Clark, owner and Mr. Don Kirkman, prospective buyer of the land, stating the above recorded action of the Planning Commission. PAGE 118 Mr. Rudd lead a discussion regardin g the feasibility of opening West Grand Avenue between South Delaware Street and South Acoma Street extended. This Avenue would be located along the South line of the new Englewood Junior High School property . The street could not be opened all the way to Broadway since buildings have been erected in the right-of-way East of South Acoma Street extended. Mrs. Romans was asked to contact other members of the Englewood School Board to determine whether it would be possible to retain a thirty foot strip along the South edge of the property for future street purposes. The meeting was adjourned at 12:55 P. M. Approved: ------ Mr. Richard Simon Attorney 3311 South Broadway Englewood , Colorado Dear Sir: John D.

The meeting was called to order at 10:00 A. M. by Chairman Janssen. The meeting was opened with a discussion of the problem of fencing around the Elsie Duncan School property located just South of East Layton Avenue between South 'Pennsylvania Street and South Pearl Street. It is the desire of the School Board t o locate the fence as close as possible to the sidewalk, though it would be outside property line, in order to afford increased playground area. It was pointed out that the property line along East Layton Avenue is in question and there is some possibility that the fence might have to be moved at the expense of the Schools if placed too close to the sidewalk.
