Mr. Noll e r stated that he, along with the owner of lots 7-8-9, Block 5, Higgins Englewood Gardens, is interested in rezoning of the area to a C-2 District for construction of a service station.

Roll Call: Ayes: Jones, Romans, Rudd, Guilford Nays: None Absent: Janssen Mr. L. A. Langendorfer, owner of property at 2791 South Grant Street, appeared to discuss the non-conformity of the two family structure existing at this address. The zone district is presently R-1-D and was previously R-1. It was established , during the discussion that the building permit had been issued for a one family home as was applied for by the contractor. Mr. Langendorfer stated that the basement apartme n t ~ was developed to accommodate his son's family and it is now his desire to sell the property and has a prospective buyer for a two family home. Mr. Langendorfer was advised that, in this case, The P lanning Commission could only recommend rezoning and it would not be their desire to do so inasmuch as too many o f the neighborin g property owners have indicated their adverse feelings toward other than a one family residential district. Mr. Langendorfer was advised further that an appeal could be made to the Englewood Zoning Board of Adjustment. Mr. 0. W. Yo, representing the Costin Engineering Company, appeared to present the final plat of the Jensen Subdivision located just West of Quincy Acres and South of West Quincy Avenue. The plat appeared to have complied with all requirements except the street name "Radclif:f'was shown instead of "W. Radcliff Ave." Rudd moved: Romans seconded: that the Planning Commission recommend to Council that the Plat of the Jensen Subdivision be approved subject to the correction showing "W. Radcliff Ave." instead of "Rad c l iff". Roll Call: Ayes: Jones, Romans, Rudd, Guilford Nays: None Absent: Janssen Mr. Guilford asked to be excused from the meeting at this time. Mr .

Yo, of Costin Engineering Company, presen t e d a proposed replatting of an area locat e d between the South Huron-South Inca Alley, the South Kalamath-South Jason Alley, West Mansfie l d Avenue and West Nassau Avenue extended. The building sites were all indicated as having 60 foot fronts with depths of not less than 125 feet. A 16 foot alley is to be shown between South Kalamath and South Jason Streets with 8 foot utility easements along rear lot lines of all other sites. Since West Nassau Avenue cannot be op e ned at this time, it was suggested that ninety foot turn-a-rounds be shown at the South end of South Jason and South Inca Streets which can be partially vacated by the City upon th e opening of West Nassau Avenue. Streets are shown to be 60 feet wide. After discussion, Mr. Yo was advised to prepare the final plat and present to the Planning Commission for consideration. PAGE 122 Dr. A. C. Linninger appeared to further discuss the proposed annexation of the Lininger Tract South of West Belleview Avenue and East of the Arapahoe County Fair Grounds. At the December 15, 1955 meeting of The Planning Commission it was voted to employ the firm of Harman-O'Donnel and Henninger to make a study of all of the area, not now in the City of Englewood, West of South Broadway to the Arapahoe County Fair Grounds from the South boundary line of Englewood to Prentice Road considering roads and waterways along with proper use and zoning of the land. This report was available and was read fully and discussed at length. (See report in Planning Commission file for December 29, 1955.) It was brought out that, since the December 15th meeting, The Metron Instrument Company, who were previously in$erested in locating their new plant just South of West Belleview Avenue have now changed their plans and desire to locate on a site between South Huron Str e et, South Hickory, East Berry Street and Prentice Road, the Southwest portion of the Linninger Tract. The originally proposed site of the Metron plant would be partially devoted to a residential district and partially to the proposed golf course. It was brought out that The Planning Commission desires to study all aspects of the entire area including other than the Linninger controlled land covered in the report and which might be considered for annexation. After further discussion of the Consultant's report, Dr. Linninger was given a copy of the map and was asked to sketch in the proposed layout of the golf course and allow The Planning Commission to make further study of the proposal before making recommendations. Mr. Beryl Wallace, City Building Inspector, appeared at the meeting to discuss anticipated requests for building permits for a new drug store to be located at the Northwest corner of South Broadway and West Girard Avenue and a new office building to be located on the site now occupied by The Englewood Motor Hotel at 3395 South Bannock Street. Mr. Wallace desired to obtain an interpretation of the zoning ordinance regarding off-street parking requirements. In the above two cases, there is no available space within the required distance under the same ownership as the buildings. Mr. Jones of The Planning Commission stated that he would contact the Lessees of the two available privately owned parking lots as well as the City Attorney; also members of the Zoning Board of Adjustment to endeavor to arrive at a solution. The meeting was adjourned at 1:15 P. M. Approved: John D. Curtice Recording Secretary MEMORANDUM TO THE ENGLEWOOD CITY COUNCIL REGARDING ACTION OR RECOMMENDATION <F THE ENGLEWOOD PLANNING COMMISSION.
