Robert Kelley See Below Hearing No. 9 3311 South Broadway Mr. Robert Kelley, Attorney, representing Mr. Ed Clark, owner, and Mr. W. F. Baker, Real Estate Agent, presented a topographical map and proposed Subdivision plat of the SW! of the NWi of Sec. 35, T. 4S., R. 68 W. in the City of En glewood , Arapahoe County, Colorado, such described property located between East Bates Avenue and East Cornell Avenue and between the South Emerson-South Clarkson alley extended and the South Ogden-South Emerson alley extended. A definite storm drainage probl em exists in this area and the proposal shown on the platting for drainage could not be considered in it's entirety because of the manner in which the drainage flows into the Denver City Ditch wh ich during flooding stages causes an overflow onto the property immediately to the North of the proposed Subdivision. After consideration of the platting arrangement and the plans for drainage provided for a part of the subdivision, Guilford moved: Romans seconded: that the proposed Subdivision plan be accepted as presented, subject to the restriction that no building permits would be granted for lots 1-5 inclusive until a satisfactory agreement for drainage, over the said five lots, has been arranged between the owner and the City, with the City Council being advised of the action by memorandum.
