M. Lacy, Planning and Traffic Director John Holberg 3660 South Huron Rezoning 3700 Block between the Inca-Jason alley and the Inca-Huron alley. Hearing No. 119 Mr. Holberg appeared to discuss the possibility of rezoning one half block between the Inca- Jason alley and South Inca Street in the 3700 block from R-1-D to M-1 Zone District. He stated that he had been approached by the Post Office Department who is interested in the southern one half of the block. Rezoning policies were discussed with Mr. Holberg and it was pointed out that the area was recently under study for the zoning he requests plus an additional P-Zone on the one half Block between South Inca Street and the rnca-Huron alley. Braun moved: Hill seconded: That upon receipt of a formal application for rezoning that the Planning Commission proceed to legally advertise, post premises and hold a public hearing on January 2, 1958. n Ayes: Barde, Braun, Hill, Guilford, Jones, Rudd Nays: None Absent: Romans George Garfield 4475 South Downing Rezoning Hearing No. 120 Approximately the north 1 /3 of the west side of the 3600 block facing South Sherm&n Street. Mr. Garfield submitted an application for rezoning of the above area from R-3 to C-1 Zone District. He also submitted plans for an addition to the Tucker Building existing on a C-1 zoned lot immediately to the west. He presented an application for vacation of the existing alley between South Sherman and South Lincoln Streets and a proposal to dedicate an adequate alley connecting South Sherman Street amd tve present alley along the South line of the area proposed for rezoning. In the following discussion, it was decided that only the rezoning application should be formally accepted now with the application for vacation to be placed under study and con- tingent upon the granting of the requested rezoning. Guilford moved: Rudd seconded: That the Planning Commission proceed to legally advertise, post the subject area and hold a public hearing on January 2, 1958, at 8:00 P. m. Ayes: Barde, Braun, Hill, Guilford, Jones, Rudd Nays: None Absent: Romans Thomas L. Yonkers 3480 South Corona Rezoning Hearing No. 121 Approximately 200 feet North of existing C- Zone District boundary fronting on 3200 block South Corona. Mr. Yonkers appeared to determine the possibility of rezoning the subject area from R-1-D to R-3 Zone District. It was pointed out that such a request, if granted, would violate two of the three major rezoning policies 1of the City, and therefore, had little chance of passing even if formal application were made. Mr. Yonkers then discussed the possibility of rezoning the subject area to C-2 Zone District. In the discussion, Mr. Yonkers was told that such a rezoning might be possible but that much serious study would have to precede the Commission's decision. Barton H. Nauman 845 Navajo Street Sub-division Vacation of part of or Dedication of 4200 Block South Navajo Street. Hearing No. 122 Barton H. Nauman of Birchby and Nauman and their Attorney, Walter Irwin appeared to discuss the possibility of a vacation of part of South Navajo Street in the 4200 block in exchange for some strA~t improvements or an additional dedication of another part of the same street. Since Mr. Nauman and his attorney had no drawing of the area and the engineer's records seemed to be incomplete, it seemed the matter should be temporarily postponed. Barde moved: Braun seconded: That the request be received and held for an accurate plat to be pro- vided by the applicant showing property lines and location of buildings, fences and other features . Ayes: Barde, Braun, Hill, Guilford, Jones, Rudd Nays: None Absent: Romans I I I I I I W. I. Parks 4695 South Lincoln Rezoning Approximately 100 feet frontage on the South ~ of the west side PAGE 245 Hearing No. 123 of the 3500 block South Marion Street . Mr. Parks and his Attorney , Walter Irwin , appeared to discuss the possibility of rezoning the subject area from R-1-D to R-3 Zone District. It was pointed out that grantin g of such a request would result in violation of all rezoning policies and would probably be illeg al. Rudd moved: Braun seconded: That the request be denied and that no further actbn be considered. Ayes: B a rde, Braun, Hill, Guilford, Jones, Rudd Nays: None Absent: Romans Carrol C. Shinn, M. D. 40 West Alameda Rezoning One half Block on the west side of 3500 Block South Marion Street between Hampden Avenue and Highway No . 70. Hearing No. 124 Dr. Shinn and Mr. Dale Belshe, Real Estate Agent, presented an application for rezoning of the subject area from R-1-D to C-2 Zone District. The discussion which followed revealed that the Doctor intends to build a garden level medical clinic with space for twelve practitioners and an access from Hampden Avenue only. Commission members considered the fact that the area does not include one full block but does abut a similar zone fronting on Hampden Avenue. Hill moved: Guilford seconded: That the application be received and that the Planning Commission p r oceed to legally advertise, post premises and hold a public hearing on January 2, 1958; and , that the applicants provide a petition from property owners in the area and provide preliminary drawings of the plot plan and the proposed building prior to the hearing.

Mr. Fields wants a prepaid water and sewer tap for lot 1 o f 'the proposed Subdivision in return for his signature on the plat. Mr. Franzman and Mr. Folkerts intend to construct the water and sewer line, at their expense, to serve the Subdivision. It was suggested that Mr. Franzman and Mr. Folkerts pay the additional city sewer tap assessment and prepare a letter, signed by Mr. Franzman, Mr . Folkerts and Mr. Babcock of the City Utilities Department, for Mr. Fields, with a copy directed to the City Utilities Department, stating that no further charge for water and sewer line installation is payable to cover said lot 1 of the Subdivision. Planning Commission City Planning Office Report Regional Planning The Planning Director reported that Mr. Stuart Eurman, Director ICRPC, called and volunteered members of his staff to discuss the purpose of the ICRPC with mfmbers of the Planning Com- mission and /or the City Council . It was decided that all Commission and City Council personnel are adequately btQefed at this time on ICRPC functions and no additional meeting is necessary. Planning Commission City Planning Office Report State Highway Department Plans Clarkson to Santa Fe on Belleview The Planning Director reported that contact with Mr. Fred Merten of the State Highway Depart- ment revealed that as yet there are no plans on paper for construction of a four lane highway from South Clarkson Street to South Santa -Fe Drive on Belleview Avenue. However, he indicated that the probable width of right-of-way will be 100 fe e t with a definite possibility of more than one-half of the additionally required right-of-way to be taken from the south side of the present right-of-way.

It was decided that, since this report is simply a state- ment of existing conditions, only verification of the Englewood statistics was necessary. Rudd moved: Hill seconded: That the analysis, as presented by the Planning Director, constitute the Planning Commission's recommended comments on the report by the City same being forwarded to City Council for their consideration. Ayes: Barde, Braun, Hill, Guilford, Jones, Rudd Nays: None Absent: None Planning Commission City Planning Office Report Land Use Study -Scenic View Area The Planning Director reported that the land use study of the Scenic View area should be prepared by January 1, 1958.

There being no further business to come before the Planning Commission, the meeting was adjourned at 11:55 P. M. Approved: ------ John D. Curtice, Recording Secretary MEMORANDUM TO THE ENGLEWOOD CITY COUNCIL REGARDING ACTION OR RECOMMENDATION OF THE ENGLEWOOD PLANNING COMMISSION. Date: December 12, 1957 Subject: Analysis of the URBAN UTILITY SERVICES report by ICRPC. Recommendation: That the attached memorandum be accepted by City Council as the City's comments on the ICRPC report on URBAN UTILITY SERVICES. TO: Members of the Planning Commission Respectfully submitted, ENGLEWOOD PLANNING COMMISSION By: Lee Jones Chairman INTER-OFFICE MEMORANDUM DATE: December 11, 1957 FROM: Mr. Joe M. Lacy -Planning and Traffic Director SUBJECT: PRELIMINARY ANALYSIS OF ICRPC "URBAN UTILITY SERVICES" REPORT The "Urban Utility Services" report presently befoce l!ls is Part I of a four part report c..covering all phases of present and future utility services. As such it is simply a statement and tabulation of existing conditions. I have asked Mr. Babcock, Utilities Director, to check the figures concerning Englewood's water and sewer service. He has reported two errors: On Page 32 in the Population Served (1956) column, the Englewood figure should be 30,000. This error probably arose because the City's population was 26,000; but the population 'served in 1956 also included some 4,000 people outside the City limits. A second error on Page 32 appears in the Plant capacity (population) column. The present plant capacity should be 40,000 instead of 30,000. On Page 53 the total number of taps served by Englewood was 9,187 as of October 31st; the report states 8,700. The inside City limits served on October 31st was 8,036; the report states 8, 000. The ourside City limits taps serv'ed was 1, 151 on October 31st; the report states 700. These (pg. 53) corrections are not actually the result of error in the report since the rounded figures used were substantially correct at the time the report information was gathered. It is impossible to verify even all of the detailed statistics concerning the Englewood region utilities without the aid of Planning Commission members and their personal knowledge. Therefore, this preliminary analysis should serve only as a jump off point for any comment the Planning Commission may wish to make on this report. J. M. Lacy JOE M.
