Roll Call: Ayes: janssen, Guilford, Jones, Romans, Rudd. Nays: None Absent: Weigand, Wright. Mr. Vic Felt, 2243 South Adams Street, Denver, reappeared to determine whether the Planning Commission had made a decision regarding rezoning of sites in Block 7, Logandale, said decision having been deferred from the meeting of February 17, 1955. All of the sites in question are presently zoned agricultural and Mr. Felt desires to build a machine shop which calls for present zoning of "M" to coincide with proposed zoning of L-1. Mr. Felt related that since February 17th, he has chosen the site described as Lots 40-41-42, Block 7, Logandale, located in the 3700 block South Jason Street, West side. Motion, Jones; seconded, Romans, that The Planning Commission recommend to Council that Lots 40-41-42, Block 7, Logandale, be re-zoned from agricultural to "M" zone to permit the building of a machine shop, such zoning to be compatible with proposed new zoning and further that necessary public recording expenses be borne by the petitioner. Roll Call: Ayes: Janssen, Guilford, Jones, Romans, Rudd. Nays; None Absent: Weigand, Wright. Mr. Felt was advised to submit a petition for this re-zoning signed by himself, as buyer, and the present owner so that same can be attached to the Planning Commission's r e commendation to Council. He was also advised to post $100.00 with The Englewood City Clerk .to :~be applied to expense of legal publications involved in re-zoning. PAGE 74 Mr. Gordon Sloan of 3180 South Franklin Street, who appeared at the February meeting, reappeared regarding a plot described as Lots 1-11 inclusive, b~ock Broadway Addition, which is in the 3000 block South Ogden Street, East Side. desires to make this plot into five building sites with 55 foot frontages. 17' 1955 7, Evanston Mr. Sloan Motion Jones· seconded Guilford, that The Planning Commission accept the proposed buildi~g site~ as outlined and based on fifty-five foot frontages, the building area of the houses to be a minimum of 850 square feet, exclusive of garages and breezeways. Roll Call; Ayes: Janssen, Guilford, Jones, Romans, Weigand, Wright, Rudd. Nays: None Absent: None . A discussion followed regarding the drainage problem existing in the area and it was decided that the problem is one to be considered with relation to the entire area rather than the specific location under consideration and that Mr. Sloan's buildirg project should not be held up pending a solution. Mr. Rudd was directed to advise the Building Inspector of the decision. Mr. and Mrs. H. R. Mather of 4491 South Pennsylvania Street appeared with the abstract and a sketch of a parcel of land described in the abstract as the South 100 feet of the South ~ of Plot 3, Block 45, South Broadway Heights; now platted as lots 25-26-27-28, block 45, South Broadway Heights. The property is bounded by Pennsylvania Street on the East, Stanford Avenue on the South and the Logan-Pennsylvania alley on the West. There is an existing house on the rear of lots 25 and 26 near the alley with a three feet overhang on lot 27. The Mathers desire to construct a new house and locate it on the front of Lots 27 and 28 facing Pennsylvania Street. The Mathers were advised that lot area would not allow the new house to be constructed on lots 27 and 28 as long as the existing alley house has an overhang on lot 27. It was suggested to the Mathers that they apply for the building permit on the East ! of the plot or the East ~ of lots 25-26-27-28 and to construct the new house entirely on lots 25 and 26 facing Stanford Avenue so that in the event that the existing alley house is ever torn down, the property could again the rearranged so that the new house could then absorb all of lots 25 and 26 'and lots 27 and 28 could be declared a second lmilding site. Since the Mathers are, of course, present owners of the entir·e four lots, it was suggested that an easement be granted from lots 27 and 28 to lots 25 and 26 for sewer purposes for future protection in the event that lots 27 and 28 were ever sold off. Mr. H. E. Turk, 3741 South Kalamath, appeared to inquire about the status of the re- zoning of the area located generally begween Lehigh and Kenyon Avenues and Jason and Lipan Streets and specifically Blocks 7 and 8, Logandale, presently zoned agricultural and proposed as L-1 zone. Mr. Turk was adv~sed that the proposed new zoning has not yet been completed and will not be comple~ed until later this year. It was pointed out that there has been application for some spot zoning and that if he should desire same, consideration would be given to recommendation upon r~ceipt of a petition for re-zoning of a specific location for a specific use provided petitioner will agree to pay publication expenses involved in re-zoning. Mr. Ernest Tollivar, 4566 South Broadway appeared to discuss the possibility of changing the proposed zoning of the area between Lehigh and Mansfield Avenues and the Jason-Inca alley and the Jason-Lipan alley from L-1 to R-1. It was explained to Mr. Tollivar that the dividing line between L-1 and R-1 was recommended to be placed at the Jason-Inca alley because of the need for Light Industry to that point for a balanced city and that no changes in the proposal were contemplated before the public hearings on the new zoning ordinance which will not be held until hter this year. Mr. George Allen of 2799 South Downing appeared to request permission to install a solid cement strip between the sidewalk and the vertical curb the full width of the building in front of 91-97 East Dartmouth Avenue which building is occupied by a Doctor's Clinic. It was decided that the strip, full width, would be hazardous in that it would serve as an invitation for children to play, skate, ride bicycles, etc. too close to a busy thoroughfare. Mr. Allen was advised, however, that it would be permissible to install a cement walkout, five feet wide from the sidewalk to the curb. A letter was read which was received from Mr. M. O. Shivers, Jr., Attorney, represent- ing James H. Naden and Hazel K. Naden, owners of the West ~ of Block 4, Logandale and Lots 29-42 inclusive, Block 4, Logandale, which property has been optioned by the Wilson Investment Company for the purpose of constructing residences thereon. The property is now zoned agricultural, "A-1 Farm Residence District", and the proposed new zoning is R-1-D, which requires a minimum of 850 square feet of living area and a minimum of 7,200 square feet lot area. The letter requested that the Planning Commission recommend to Council that said property be re-zoned as an "R-1 Residence District" with the additional specific requirement in the Ordinance re-zoning the same, requiring that each residence have a minimum of 60 foot frontage lot size and that each residence constructed thereon have a minimum living area of 900 square feet. I I I I I I PAGE 75 Motion, Wright; seconded, Rudd, that the Planning Commission recommend to Council that the West one-half of Block 4, Logandale and Lots 29-42 inclusive, Block 4, Logandale, be re-zoned to R-1 Residence District with a minimum of sixty foot frontages and a minimum of 900 square feet of living area, exclusive of garages and bree7.eways , public recording expenses to be borne by the petitioners.

M. Mr. D. W. Cook and Mr. John Swartz appeared representing T. W. Anderson & Company, 1016~18 Patterson Building; Denver, Colorado. A petition was presented along with a proposed plat of Blocks 1-2-3-4-5-6, Yale Heights, which area is bounded generally by Yale Avenue on the North, Bates Avenue on the South, Clarkson Street on the East and Pearl Street on the West. The petition requested that consideration be given the proposed plat by the Planning Com- mission and that recommendation be made to Council for it's approval. Recommendation to Council for annexation of Blocks 4-5-6, Yale Heights was also requested in the petition . Mr. Cook pointed out that the drainage problem involved in the area has been given due consideration and will be handled so that all drainage will be properly diverted into existing storm sewer. It was agreed that all curb and g utt er will be installed according to City specifications at the expense of the developer. Construction plans call for all brick homes with a minimum of 1,100 square feet of living area with sale price to range between $14,000 and $17,000 . Plans are being made to reroute the City Ditch which now runs through the project, said rerouting to begin at a point on the North side of Bates Avenue thence along the north side of Bates Avenue, through tile, North to the present ditch crossing at Clarkson Street. This project also to be accomplished by and at the expense of the developer. The proposed plat showed the building sites in Block 2 to be too small in area while those in Blocks 1 and 3 ~xceeded the minimum requirements. For this reason, the developers were advised to arrange to realign Washington Street between, moving both East and West lines of the Street West by 10 feet thus enlarging all building sites to meet the min imum require- ments in Blocks 1-2 and 3. The present lines of Bates Avenue now allow f o r only a forty foot street and the builders were advised that it would be necessary to realign the No~th line of Bates Avenue, moving it North 10 feet thus reducing the size of lots 1-8 inclusive, Block 6 , with lots 4-8 inclusive being reduced to less than minimum requirements and for this reason, lots 4-5-6-7~8 must be redivided into four sites instead of five on the final plat. This realignment will then provide a fifty foot street along the property now owned by T. W. Anderson & Company adjacent to Bates Avenue. All sites in Blocks 4, 5, and 6 can be sewered to the Englewood system. All sites in Blocks 1, 2 and 3 must, due to terrain, be sewered to the Denv er system. Motion, Rudd; seconded, Wright, that the Plannin g Commission recommend to Council that the area North of Bates Avenue and West of Clarkson Street, now owned by T. W. Anderson & Company, be annexed to the City of Englewood and that tentative plat be approved subject to realignment of Washington Street ten feet West to provide g reate r depth in lots in Block 2 and further that the City Ditch be tiled along the North side of Bates Avenue and North on Clarkson to the present ditch crossing under Clarkson Street; the North line of Bates Avenue to be realigned ten feet North to provid e a fifty foot street along lots 1-8 inclusive, Block 6 and lots 4-5-6-7-8 irtclusive to be redivided to four lots with approximately 80 foot frontages. Roll Call: Ayes; Wright, Romans, Jones, Rudd. Nays; None. Absent: Weigand, Janssen, Guilford. Mr. Robert L. Gillpatrick of 3890 South Galapago showed a pencil sketch of a portion of Block 1, Rog ge Sub-division, an irregular parcel of land in the 3900 Block South Galapago, bounded generally by Mansfield Avenue, South Galapago, and the City Ditch. A main sewer trunk line cuts diagonally through the land within existing easements. Mr. Gillpatrick desires to divide the land into five building sites which is possible by dividing land into very irregular shaped sites. Galapago street, running in front of the sites on the West is deadend at the City Ditch which would require a turn-around at the south end. Provisions have be~n made for this turn-a-round on the West side of the street and Mr. Gillpatrick was advised to make the same provisions on the East side, adjusting the West line of the building site nearest the City Ditch or the South end.
