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. PAGE 76 ¥r. Gillpatrick was advised to contact the City Engineer for assistance in making up a more detailed sketch providing for proper street width and covering other phases not shown on the original and return to a future meeting for further study and possible approval. Mrs. L. Jamieson of 3202 South Cherokee appeared to request permission to install a four foot sidewalk next to the existing vertical curb from the Cherokee-Bannock alley to Cherokee Street. This request was made with the thought that this type of sidewalk would more nearly match the Hollywood type which is now in place between Delaware Street and the Delaware-Cherokee alley and hoping that a pattern might be set which will eventually be followed through to Broadway. Motion, Weigand; seconded, Wright, that Mrs. Jamieson be allowed to install a sidewalk adjacent to the curb line, four feet in width, between the Bannock-Cherokee alley and Cherokee street on the South side of Eastman Avenue. Roll Call: Ayes; Wright, Romans, Jones, Rudd, Weigand. Nays; None. Absent: Janssen, Guilford City Engineer advised of decision by copy of the minutes. Mr. Lawrence Miller presented final plat of Block 3, F. P. Gumaer's Broadway Heights, Re-subdivided as Miller Heights. The preliminary sketch had been approved February 3, 1955 subject to minor changes which have been made on final plat. Moved, Wright; seconded, Weigand, that the Planning Commission recommend toCouncil that the plat of Block 3, F. P. Gumaer's Broadway Heights, Re-subdivided as Miller Heights, be approved as presented. Roll Call: Ayes; Wright, Romans, Jones, Rudd, Weigand. Nays: None Absent: Janssen, Guilford. Mr. Dave Banning of Banning Paving Company, 3165 South York Street, requested permission to install a black top surfacing between the vertical curb and the sidewalk in front of commercial buildings located at 3100 South Broadway and 2901 South Broadway. Motion, Wright, seconded, Weigand, that .the City Engineer be advised that permission is hereby granted for installation of black top surfacing between the curb and the sidewalk at 3100 South Broadway at which location new sidewalk has been recently in- stalled and that permission is also given for 2901 South Broadway provided the side- walk is replaced. Roll Call: Ayes: Wright, Romans, Jones, Rudd, Weigand. Nays: None Absent: Janssen, Guilford. City Engineer advised of decision by copy of the minutes. Mr. Ruben Maerz of 6196 South Broadway inquired of the status of the proposed new zoning applicable to the East half of Block 13, Englewood Subdivision, bounded by Lehigh Avenue, Mansfield, Inca Street and the Inca-Jason alley. The present zoning is Agricultural. Mr. Maerz indicated that he would desire to re-subdivide the plot into 60 feet by 125 feet building sites which would provide 7,500 square feet lot areas. Mr. Maerz was advised that the proposed zoning would be R-1-D with minimum requirements of 7,200 square feet ot lot area and 850 square feet living area. Mr. Maerz also presented a sketch showing a proposed plan for resubdivision of Block 1, F. P. Gumaer's Broadway Heights, the minimum size of the lots to be 75 feet by 120 feet and a 16 foot alley. The widths of the surrounding streets are shown to be: West Stanford, 60 feet, South Kalamath, 60 feet, West Tufts Avenue 60 feet and South Lipan Street only 44 feet. At present there is an irregular subdivision just west of Lipan Street accessible by a turn-a-round drive running off West Tufts Avenue North, parallel with Lipan Street, which drive is only 145 feet from the West line of Lipan Street. This type of drive is not satisfactory because the houses along the East side of the drive must be constructed with the back side toward Lipan; hcmever, if ffihis situation is allowed to exist, it would then be possible to allow the width of Lipan Street to remain at 44 feet since it would only be serving the houses on the East side of Lipan. There would be added expense to the City in serving water to this area as only the East side of Lipan Street building sites would participate in payment for water main laid in Lipan Street and an additional line from Tufts Avenue North in the above mentioned drive would be necessary to serve the sites there on either side. Mr. Maerz was advised that the Planning Commission would physically inspect the area involved in the proposed subdivision and endeavor to be in a position to make a decision at the next meeting. The meeting was adjourned at 12:35 P. M. Approved: Respectfully submitted, John D. Curtice Recording Secretary I I I
