Wright Guests: Mr. O'Donnell; Mr. Rapp The meeting was called to order by Vice Chairman Guilford. Mr. O'Donnell of Harmon and O'Donnell Company, presented the sketches and map of the proposed Fritzinger Annexation. The City Council asked the Planning Board for an immediate recommen- dation as to whether or not the annexation should be permitted. After considerable discussion, Mr. Guilford moved and Mr. Wright seconded: That annexation be not approved at this time upon the use basis submitted because of the difficulties and expense involved in providing the proposed residential area with utilities, schools, and fire and police protection. That annexation of the district be approved if it can be accepted upon an industrial use basis only, because the residential problems will thereby be eliminated, an industrial use being more self-sustaining with fewer service requirements and, in the commission's opinion, a more compatable use. That, in connection with the particular annexation, the commission recommend that the Council consider the attached report of Harmon and O'Donnell and conclusions therein. That the Council at this time consider the advisability of authorizing a study to be made by the present planning consultants to formulate a definite policy for development of theCity along its west boundary, and to determine whether this boundary should be extended, now far extended, and for what use or uses, as a guide for future annexation in this area. Roll call: Mr. Jones, yes; Mr. Guilford, yes; Mrs. Romans , yes; Mayor Weigand, yes; Mr. Wright, yes. The Catholic Church of Englewood, located at Block 84, South Broadway Heights, requested a temporary permit to begin work on their church while this area is being re-zoned. This district is' now zoned as R-1 and should be R-2 for construction of a church. It was moved and seconded that the Planning Board recommend to the En gle. City Council that application be granted, such being permitted under proposed re-zoning now under study for this district, and in the commission's opinion, being more compatible with adjoining development. Roll call: Mr. Jones, yes; Mr. Guilford, yes; Mrs. Romans, yes; Mayor Weigand, absent; Mr. Wright, yes. Mr. Guilford read a letter written to Mr. Jones from Joseph A. Craven, attorney for Archbishop Vehr of Denver, requesting that Lots 17, 18, 19 and 20 , Rose Addition be re- zoned for use as an off street parking lot on lease by the owner to Nate Burt of Burt Chevrolet. Mr. Jones moved, and Mr. Wright, seconded, That the Commission recommend to the Board of Adjustment that a temporary permit be granted to use Lots 17, 18, 19 and 20, Block 6, Rose Addition, for a parking lot for the period of time not to exceed one year or until the re-zoning Ordinance is completed upon condition that the surface be gravel or dirt but not blacktop. Roll call: Mr. Jones, yes; Mr. Guilford, yes; Mrs. Romans , yes; Mr. Wright, yes. Mr. Guilford asked the Secretary to write a letter to Mr. Craven stating the motion with a copy being sent to the Board of Adjustment. Mrs. Romans told the Board that she has been informed that the man whose business is located at 3700 So. Jason has been buying many wrecked cars and it is feared it may become a junk yard. If this lot becomes an obvious junk yard, the Commission will request the Inspector to contact him. This lot will be watched so this may be prevented. (See minutes August 12' 1954.)
