Members Present: Barde, Braun, Guilford, Rudd Members Absent: Jones, Rapp , Romans Charles & Company, Realtor Associated Veterans, Inc., Owners 799 West Hampden Avenue 799 West Hampden Avenue The following letter was presented and read: Mr. Lee Jones, Chairman Englewood Planning Commission Colorado Central Power Company Englewood, Colorado Dear Sir: CHARLES & COMPANY, REALTOR 2801 South Broadway Englewood, Colorado January 9, 1957 PAGE 169 Hearing No. 57 We are the representatives of the Associated Veterans, Inc., owners of the property at 799 W. Hampden Avenue. This property has an irregular shape and extends from W. Hampden Avenue North into the City Par k which is zoned R-1-D. We think it advisable that this property be all zoned alike since a great portion of said property (145 x 125 feet) is zoned C-2 . We respectfully request that the North C-2 zoning line be made irre gular and extended North to include this entire property. Please advise us in writing of your actbn in this matter. Sincerely, /S / Charles F. Johnson CHARLES & COMPANY Mr. Johnson, who was present, stated that the piece of land in question could be used to good advantage for parking area shoula the owners be successful in their attempt to sell their la nd for commercial use. During the discussion which followed, it was pointed out that a three foot strip along the West Hampden Avenue frontage of this property, while being used for street purposes, is still under the ownership of Associated Veterans, Inc.; also, it was noted, that the street right-of-way width of South Huron Street from Greenwood Parkway to West Hampden Avenue is only forty seven feet. It would be the desire of the City to have title to the three feet now being used for street purposes along the North side of West Hampden Avenue as well as the three additional feel along the East side of South Huron Street so that South Huron Street could become a full fifty feet in w:i:lth. It was then brought out that the City owns the land adjacent to the Associated Veterans, Inc. property on the East which is not in use, the feeling of the Planning Commission being that, if the Veterans Association, Inc. would consider an exchange of three feet of land along their West Hampden Avenue frontage and three feet alongthe East side of South Huron Street for three feet of City owned land along the full East line of their property, a recommendation could be made to Council for a rezoning of their presently zoned R-1-D property along with City owned R-1-D zoned land on the Northwest, all to C-2 Zone District , waiving the normal legal fees. After some further discussion, Braun moved: Rudd seconded: That, if the Associated Veterans, Inc. will deed, to the City, the South three feet and the West ±hree feet of their property, located at the North- east corner of West Hampden Avenue and South Huron Street, in exchange for three feet of City lands along the East line of the Associated Veterans, Inc. property, then the Planning Commission will recommend to Council that all of the Veterans Association, Inc. lands now zoned R-1-D be rezoned to C-2, waiving the customary fee. Ayes: Barde, Braun, Guilford, Jones, Rudd Nays: None Absent: Rapp , Romans Mr. Johnson requested that the Plannin g Commission communicate with City Council on this pro- posal and if it met with their approval, a letter of intent, from City Council, be directed to his office in order that he, as the real estate representative, will be in a position to give the information to the officials of the Associated Veterans, Inc . to determine their reaction.

M. Members Present: Barde, Jones, Rapp, Romans, Rudd Members Absent: Braun, Guilford M. O. Shivers, Jr., Attorney The Arapahoe Investment & Insurance Co. The Swedish National Sanatorium #9 West Hampden Avenue See Below Hearing No. 60 Mr. Shivers, Attorney, appeared and presented a petition signed by fourteen property owners representing the south portions of the 3300 blocks South Clarkson and South Washington, which petition indicates no objection to and consent for a change in zoning for Lots 26 to 29, Inclusive, Block 1, West View Addition to Englewood, owned by The Arapahoe Investment & Insurance Company, (100 foot frontage on South Clarkson at the Northwest corner of the intersection of South Clarkson and East Girard Avenue) from present R-1-D Zon e District to R-3 Zone District. Parallel with the above proposed rezoning, Mr. Shivers stated that he was also speaking for Rev. Joseph D. Broman of Th e Swedish National Sanatorium. The property ~of that institution was apparently erroneously split in zoning at the time of making the map for the 1955 Zoning Ordinance as the Easterly portion of the land between East Girard Avenue and East Hampden Avenue is zoned R-1-D while the remainder o f the land to the West is zoned R-3 . Mr. Shivers requested that The Planning Commission give immediate consideration to the re- zoning of both above mentioned R-1-D Zoned areas to R-3 zoning. After discussion, Rapp moved: Romans seconded: That the petition be accepted and that the request for rezoning of both areas be incorporated in the rezoning studies currently being negotiated. Ayes: Barde, Jones, Rapp , Rom ans, Rudd Nays: None Absent: Braun, Guilford Herman Oliner 3601 South Elati 570 West Ithica Place Hearing No. 61 Mr. Oliner appeared to discuss with The Planning Commission the problem of non-conformity of his greenhouses located at 3601 South Elati, Lots 1-29, Inclusive, Block 16, Englewood Addition. Mr. Oliner pointed out that though the greenhouses have been established for many years, the 1955 Zoning Ordinance places them in an R-1-D Zon e District which does not provide for greenhouses. Mr. Oliner requested that the Planning Commission consider a re- zoning of the area to M-1 Zone District so that his establishment will conform to the Ordinance and place him in a position to rebuild, if necessary, or sell or transfer title legally. After discussion, Barde moved: Rapp seconded: That the request for consideration for rezoning of the above described area be accepted and tabled for further study.
