M. Members Present: Braun, Barde, Guilford, Rapp, Rudd Members Absent: Jones, Romans The meeting was opened with a report by Mr. Rudd. He stated that upon his contact with The Colorado State Highway Department, as was requested at the meeting of February 16, 1956 , a reply has been received indicating that changes have been made in the new high- way plans to enlarge the driveway opening North off of East Jefferson Avenue at South Grant Street extended, from the proposed 36 foot width to 44 foot width. I I I I I I / PAGE 133 Mr. Rudd reported that Council accepted the recommendations of the Planning Commission presented March 5, 1956, regarding the proposed subdivffision of the Clark property located between East Bates Avenue and East Cornell Avenue and between the South Emerson-South Clarkson alley extended and the South Ogden-South Eme rson alley extended. Mr. Rudd reported further, that Council adopted the resolution as prepared and presented by The Planning Commission relative to prohibition of building permits along any natural drainage courses within the city limits. Copies of the recommendations of a committee selected to study the technical sections of the Denver Building Code were presented to all members of The Planning Commission for their information and consideration. The recommendations presented include certain amendment~ and modifications to the Denver Building Code, dated June, 1953, as amended to date, Chapters 4 thru 49, and Chapters 51 thru 54. The committee recommended that this section be adopted by The City of Englewood subject to changes above mentioned. Chairman Jones entered the meeting and took the Chair1 with the other members of The Planning Commission. Lee Schillinger 4295 South Delaware See Below Mrs. Romans entered and was seated Hearing No. 17-A February 16, 1956 Mr. Schillinger appeared to further discuss his earlier request for partial rezoning of an area bounded by South Broadway, West Layton Avenue, South Bannock Street extended and West Chenango Avenu e . ~H~e request was for a C-2 Distr~ct between South Broadway and the Acoma- Bannock alley extended and an R-2-A District between the Acoma-Bannock alley extended and South Bannock Street extended. In the discussion, it was brought out that the new Junior High School is to be located in the immediate vicinity and some types of commercial establishments too close to a school are not desirable. A number of the Planning Commission members felt that action on this matter should be deferred indefinitely. Mr. Schillinger stated that he would rather have the matter deferred to some future time than to press for action which would apparently result in a denial of his request. He felt that the chances for rezoning might be better at a later date after the surrounding area has been pmore fully developed. Gordon Hays 4140 South Lipan See Below Hearing No l 18-A February 16, 1956 Mr. Hayes appeared to discuss various problems regarding proposed subdivision of p r operty between West Oxford Avenue and West Quincy Avenue and between The Hayes Subdivision and South Jason Street. Specifically, Mr. Hayes was concerned about the extension of Oxford Place shown on the plat of The Hayes Subdivision from South Lipan Street to the rear of Lots 23 and 24. This street was originally platted for the purpose of connecting South Lipan Street and the next established North to South street East of South Lipan Street. The action taken by the Planning Commission on March 1, 1956, regarding a proposed platting d the area adjacent on the East to The Hayes Subdivision failed to indicate that consideration was given to the extension of Oxford Place. After discussion, Guilford moved: Rapp seconded: that each owner of property between West Oxford Avenue and West Quincy Avenue and between The Hayes Subdivision and South Jason Street be invited to attend the next regular session of the Englewood Planning Commission on March 29, 1956 at 8:00 P M., to reconsider the platting and future layout of that area and that the action of The Planning Commission taken March 1, 1956, giving tentative approval of the proposed White Subdivision be rescinded pending the outcome of the meeting of March 29, 1956. Roll Call: Ayes: Barde, Braun, Guilford, Jones, Rapp, Romans, Rudd. Nays: None Absent: None The Recording Secretary was directed to give Mr. ff . H. White immediate notice of the action taken and to mail notices of the planned meeting to the following property owners: R. E. Sunderlin Arthur Sanger Norvel F. Fout John L.

White Fields Rest Home Mr. or Mrs. Hizingh Glen Wilson Gordon Hayes Hearing No. 22 Mr. Edler appeared to request rezoning of the Fields Rest Home property from present M-1 District to C-2 District for the purpose of expanding the Rest Home. After considerable discussion, most members of The Planning Commission felt that, if this rezoning were ap- proved, the area within the following boundaries should be included: Beginning at the center lines of West Hampden Avenue and South Huron Street, thence, North 307 feet, thence, West to the center line of South Inca Street, thence, South to the center line of West Hampden Avenue, thence East to point of beginning. PAGE 134 Rudd moved: Romans seconded: that action on the rezoning request be deferred until a plot plan is pres~nted showing the actual dimensions of the perimeter of the site in question and showing existing features which will be removed; also , showing adjacent surrounding region with features. ' Roll Call: Ayes: Barde, Braun, Guilford, Jones, Rapp, Romans, Rudd. Nays: None Absent: None CITY PLANNING COMMISSION CITY OF ENGLEWOOD To each owner of property between West Oxford Avenue and West Quincy Avenue and between The Hay's Sub- division and South Jason Street. P. O. BOX 178 ENGLEWOOD, COLORADO March 16, 1956 The matter of possible subdivision of the territory mentioned above presents several difficult problems. The tentative plan for subdivision of a part of this area cannot be fully approved without consideration of the entire area. In order to approach the matter of subdivision equitably, it is suggested that all parties in interest be present at a session of The City Planning Commission on March 29, 1956 at 8:00 P. M. The matter stands entirely in "Status Quo" at the present time. Very truly yours, /s / John D. Curtice John D.
