Acqueduct, Littleton, Colo. See Below Hearing No. 73-A March 14, 1957 Mr. Northrup appeared to discuss the problem involved in the location of a tract of land owned by him on the north side of West Oxford Avenue. The property has 116.62 foot front- age on West Oxford Avenue and extends 198 feet Northward. It lies directly in the path of So. Inca Street as projected from the South and as a result, the Building Inspector is not in a position to issue a building permit until some satisfactory plan for a North bound street in the vicinity is approved. Mr. Rudd presented, for consideration, a proposed plan for subdivision and streets, covering the entire area from West Oxford Avenue to west Nassau Avenue extended and between a line running from West Oxford Avenue to West Nassau Avenue extended, which would be the East line of Mr. Northrup's property projected Northward, and the present M-1 Zone District on the West, which plan would necessitate a job in South Inca Street. This proposal appe a rs to be the only method for subdivision which would provide for equal distribution of street and utility easement dedications throughout the area and allowing for the best and most complete use of the land. It was brought out in the discussion that no applications for consideration of subdivision planning have come to the attention of the Planning Co mmission for this area previously and it was felt that if the area is to remain in residential classification, the other property owners should be contacted for their views as to planning before any action is taken. There was some discussion as to the need and possibilities for a rezoning of the area to an industrial district. Jones moved: Braun seconded: That the Planning Commission table any action until further study can be made to endeavor to establish a street plan or other means for a solution.
