M. Members Pres ent: Braun, Hill, Jones, Kelley, Lacy, Rudd Me mbers Absai t: Romans A copy of a letter was read from Mr. L. R. Rudd , City Manager to Mr. Robert F . Kelley, 3020 South Delaware , which verified Mr. Kelley's appointment as a member of the Englewood Planning Commission for a six year term. Chairman Jones stated that it was now in order to elect a Vice-Chairman of the Commission, such action having been deferred from the meeting of January 2, 1958 pending the final appointment of the seventh member of the Commission. Braun moved: Rudd seconded: That Mr. Robert F. Kelley be nominated as Vice-Chairman of the Planning Commission and that the nominations be closed, electing Mr. Kelley by unanimous ballot. Ayes: Brau n, Hill, Jones, Lacy, Rudd Nays: None Dissent: Kelley Absent: Romans Mr. Braun led a discussion on the possibility of purchasing a triangular tract of land, abutting Highway No. 70 between the Lafayette-Marion alley and South Lafayette Street, from the State Highway Department. He stated that perhaps the State Hi ghway Department would sell the tract for a nominal fee to the City and that the City would then have absolute control of the property. Subsequent discussion revealed that the City has equally effective control at present through it 's zoning powers and the the likelihood of the Highway Department selling the tract for an adverse use is very small. W. K. Robinson , Attorney Alden Brown, Real Estate Representative Equitable Building -Denver Rezoning Along North side of Highway No. 70 from S. ~eerman to S. Logan. Hearing No. 13-56 February 2, 1956 February 16, 1956 Mr. W. K. Robinson, Attorney, and Mr. Alden Brown, representing Garrett-Bromfield & Company and the major owners of subject area appeared to discuss informally the possibility of building a subsistence type shopping center, including a service station in the area. The service station would require no additional curb cuts but would require rezoning of a part or all of the tract. After considerable discussion , during which it was clearly stated that the City's present stand is to discoura ge construction of any new service stations abutting Highway No. 70, this proposal was likewise discoura ge d. The primary· reasons for the Commission's ·stand was that several over-all commercial area development plans are now being drawn and that any "nibbling away" of the larger area would be unwise at this time. Mrs. Romans entered and was seated with the Commission. PAGE 252 Carl H. Gunther, Jr. 1485 Shepperd street Littleton, Colorado Subdivision South ~ of East Side of 2800 Block So. Emerson Hearing No. 2-58 June 2, 1955 August 11, 1955 Mr. Gunther appeared to discuss the possibility of subdividing t he subject area. Planning Commission members pointed out that Emerson Street must be dedicated to an acceptable width and a bridging or tiling of the City Ditch where it crosses the street must be accomplished in order that the proposed subdivision could comply with the City's Slubdivision Regulations. Mr. Gunther was provided a copy of the Subdivision Regulations a n d application forms for subdivision. He was further adv:ised to contact the City Planni ng Office before preparing his preliminary plan. F. M. Robinson Bear Frame and Axle 2946 South Broadway Rezoning Six 25 foot lots on Southwest corner of South Lincoln Street and East Bates Avenue. Hearing No. 3-58 An application for rezoning from Mr. Robinson, with checw attached, was presented by the Planning Director. The proposed rezoning would change the subject area from R-2-B to a P Zone to expand the parking space for a nearby commercial property. In the discussion that followed, some question was raised as to whether the area would be used as customer and employee parking or whether vehicles would be parked in a semi-storage status for extended periods of time. Hill moved: Braun seconded: That the application be received and referred to the Planning Office for study, said study to be completed in time for consideration at the next meeting. Ayes: Braun, Hill, Jones, Kelley, Lacy, Romans, Rudd Nays: None Absent: None Planning Commission City Planning Office Rezoning "Scenic View" Area Hearing No. 4-58 The Planning Director presented a land use survey completed in January, 1958, of the entire "Scenic View" annexation. The presentation included thirty seven photographic slides illustrating key features in the area. Following the land use presentation, a proposed zoning of the area was presented by the Planning Director. The proposal was based on the land use survey, the highest and best use of the l~nd from the point of view of the owners and the City, the usage ~ of land abutting the area, but not in the city and maximum utilization of natural buffer features. After discussion of the proposal, it was decided that the Planning Office shall prepare a zoning map of the area suitable for inclusion in a legal publication, to be reconsidered on January 30, 1958.
