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.

That d uplication in time and work may be reduced to a minimum, we pro p ose to employ the Land Use Map recently prepared and delivered to you as a basis for our work. In those areas affected by or pertinent to our study, above Map will be corrected to reflect present conditions. This will be accomplished by field inspections. 2. Within above areas and to support our contentions, data concerning vacant land and all other uses will be tabulated and comparisions and proportions of each to the total areas will be made. These data should support our recommendations for such changes or revisions as may be made concerning use districts, etc. 3. Over above land Use Map transparent overlay studies will be made to indicate in colors such changes from present zoning as may be recommended within the study area. 4. Upon completion of above basic work and recommended studies we propose to present same to members of the Planning Commission and subsequently before Councii. These maps and studies will be accompanied by a written report embodying arguments to support our recommendations. It may be found helpful to meet with Planning Commission before completion of our report. We will request an audience with the Commission when it seems appropriate. Our estimate for above work is $800.00. It should be completed within 45 or 60 days. We will be pleased to receive your acceptance of this proposal.

Luzmoor, 510 West Street, Fort Morgan, Colorado, was presented and read. The letter pertained to Lot 22 and the North portion of Lot 23, Block 2, Higgins South Broadway Heights which location was originally 100 feet in width fronting on South Ogden Street at the Nor theast corner of the intersection of South Ogden Street and East Jefferson Avenue. The South 60 feet (approximately) was sold to be used for highway purposes leaving approximately 40 feet frontage which is sub-standard for ~residential use. The letter requested that consideration be given to a change in zoning from R-1-D Zone District to a commercial zoning or that some action be taken to make the land usable. After discussion, Rudd moved: Romans seconded: That, since The Planning Commission has no immediate plan for zoning changes in this area, the request be referred to The Zoning Board of Adjust- ment for consideration of variance of lot size to allow construction of a one family dwelling, and that the Recording Secretary be directed to advise Mrs. Luzmoor of this action.
