PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING
January 10, 1955
PAGE 67
Members Present: Larry Guilford; Lee Jones; Dorothy Romans; Mayor Weigand; B. B. 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.)
Future problems were discussed briefly.
The meeting was adjourned at 4:30 P. M.

PAGE 68
that permission for this procedure had been granted the Stereotyper's and Lithographer's
Rest Home.
Mr. Tautz was advised that he could proceed on thE basis provided that all other build-
ing requirements were met.
Mr. Ed Scott appeared before the Board on behalf of the Immanuel Lutheran Church to
ask for re-zoning of the 3600 Block on South Elati from A-1 to R-2. The Church needs
this area re-zoned so that they may move their parsonage from it's present location
to the school property.
Mr. Wright moved; Mrs. Romans seconded, that the Planning Commission recommend to
Council: That lots 17~32 of Block 17, Englewood Sub-division, be rezoned from
A-1 to R-2.
Roll Call: Mr. Janssen , aye; Mr. Jones, aye; Mrs. Romans, aye; Mr. Rudd, aye;
Mayor Weigand, aye; Mr. Wright, aye.
A. E. Lininger, 679 Prentice, Littleton, Colorado, requested recommendation for
annexation of the area 2 blocks West of Huron and 4 blocks South of Belleview. After
considerable discussion, Mayor Weigand suggested that this proposal be presented to
the Water Board before the Planning Commission takes any action on it. It was later
decided to send the following recommendation to C6unciiwith reference to the Water Board:
"That Lininger Tract, 2 blocks West of Huron and 4 blocks South of Belleview Avenue be
annexed on the approval of the Water Board with the annexation being contingent upon
the potentiality of 180 homes with not less than 9,000 sq. feet of yard area and with
75 ft. fronts and from 1,000 to 1,250 sq. ft. of floor space per home and on the
condition that the Liningers set aside 10% of the total land for public use."
Two representatives of the Ragsdale Building Company, 1236 South Wasn~ngton, Denver,
requested permission to build duplexes at Fox and Galapago Streets, facing Oxford
Avenue. The Board informed them that this area is being re-zoned and the proposed re-
zoning does not include duplexes. They could refer this matter to the Building Depart-
ment but the answer would no doubt be negative. The builders further asked if an alley
was necessary in this block. The Board told them probably not but suggested that they
submit a proposed sketch for one family homes with 60 ft. fronts, vacating the alley but
leaving an easement. The builders agreed to make presentation of the sketch at a later
date .
Mr. E. F. Dunham of Woodman and Dunham Builders, appeared to dedicate some easements
and to have the City vacate some others in Bellewood Second Addition. The Board dis-
cussed this proposal aid ~Mr . Jones moved, Mr. Wright seconded that the Planning Com-
mission recommend to Council that: "The Planning Commission recommends to Council
that the City vacate the East 3' of the 8' easement along the west side of Lot 10 ,
Block 9, Bellewood Second Addition.

Block 10 , Bellewood Second Addition.
"That the City vacate the North 110' of the 16' easement between Lots 11 and 12,
Block 9, Bellewood Second Addition.
"That Woodman and Dunham Builders be permitted to dedicate to the City 5' on each
side of the line between Lots 4 and 5, Block 9, Bellewood Second Addition."
Roll call: Mr. Janssen, aye; Mr. Jones, aye; Mrs. Romans, aye; Mr. Rudd, aye;
Mayor Weigand, aye; Mr. Wright, aye.
The Board further suggested that Mr. Dunham have this district re-platted and present
the revised plat to Council for the records.

ENGLEWOOD PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING
February 3, 1955
Members Present: Guilford, Weigand, Jones, Wright, Romans, Rudd.
Members absent: Jenssen.
Meeting was called to order by Acting Chairman, Guilford, at 9:50 A. M.
Mr. Wallace, City Building Inspector, appeared relative to policy of moving of old
houses to new locations within the city limits. Two examples had recently come to his
attention: One house is at 4549 South Sherman and is to be moved to the 4600 Block South
Fox Street. The second house is now at 4475 South Broadway and is to be moved to 4781
South Acoma Street. Mr. Wallace desired to know if this procedure is permissible if
building code followed closely in remodeling.
The Board advised Mr. Wallace that the procedure is acceptable so long as land area and
use is proper and the building is safe and sound structurally. Also, consideration
should be taken as to whether or not the type of construction compares with existing
houses in the area where house is to be moved.
