M. Members Present: Braun, Hill, Jones, Kelley, Schmitt, and Lacy, Ex-officio Members Absent: Romans Robert L. Gillpatrick 3890 South Galapago ~ - - - Subdivision Approximately One-half Block on West Side of 3900 Block S. Galapago. Hearing No. 42-58E (See minutes of March 19, 1955, March 31, 1955) December 4, 1958 January 8, 1959 The Planning Director presented the tracing for the final plan o f the subject area. An agreement between the subdivider and the City prepared by the Subdivider's attorney and approved by the City Attorney was also read. The agreement sets forth the conditions under which a structure may be erected over the existing sewer line on Lot 4. One additional change on the plat of widening an existing five foot easement to ten feet along the west side of the east line of Lot 1 was found necessary and the Planning Director stated that the Subdivider's engineer will be contacted and such change made. Page 356 Hill moved: Kelley seconded: That the Planning and Zoning Commission recommend to City Council that the final plan for the Gillpatrick subdivision be approved , subject to completion of recommendations made for tentative approval of the pre- liminary plan. Ayes: Braun, Hill , Jones, Kelley, Schmitt Nays: None Absent: Romans William Moody 3385 South Bannock Subdivision Approximately One Block Between South Elati Street and South Fox Street Immediately South of West Belleview Avenue Hearing No. 5-59 The Planning Director presented a tentative drawing of a subdivision in the subject area which is now in the process of annexation to the City. Since the City Engineer's Office has had no opportunity to study the topography of the area, only the lot layout, street alignment and frontage and area requirements were considered. It was agreed that the latest State Highway Department plans for the widening of West Belleview should be checked and that the lot layout be adjusted accordingly. It was also suggested that the subdivider attempt to include the tract presently "excepted" to join the plat for future legal description simplification. The Planning Director was instructed to contact the subdivider reg arding the above suggestions. Planning Commission Sam Hill Old North School North End of East Side of 3000 Block of South Bannock Hearing No. 6-59 Mr. Hill suggested that the Planning Commission should discuss the pending sale of the sub- ject property. He stated that he understood that the building may be sold for a private school usage for about $30,000.00. He said that, in his opinion, the tract would be worth more than that to the City for any one or a combination of the following uses: 1. Temporary library 2, City offices 3. Community recreation center 4. Future park and playground site. In the discussion that followed, it was agreed that the structural safety of the building should be carefully inspected by building inspection officials and fire technicians before any future school use involving class rooms is allowed. It was also agreed that this is apparently the only available site west of Broadway and north of West Dartmouth for a pu b lic facility in the City's most densely populated residential area. The Commission further agreed that City acquisition of the site on a cash basis during 1959 would probably be impossible. However, it was brought out that theEnglewood Lions Club would consider purchase of the land for civic use or that the possibility of a City option or five- year payment play may forestall sale of the area to private interests. Hill moved: Schmitt seconded: That the Planning and Zoning Commission recommend to the City Council that the City suggest to the School Board that the pending sale of the subject area be reconsidered in light of th~ civic needs which the sub- ject area could serve, and that an inspection by the Building Department and the Fire Department be made to determine the structural safety of the building for possible school classroom use. Ayes: Braun, Hill, Jones, Kelley, Schmitt Nays : None Absent: Romans Planning Office Planning Director Master Plan Hearing No. 45-58-B December 18, 1958 January 8 , 1959 The Planning Director suggested that 1980 be established as the target date for the City's Master Plan. It was explained trnt this would cover a twenty-year period which is the maxi- mum realistic time for which a detailed master plan can be practically drawn and that Inter- County Regional plans and other community master plans in the area have already used 1980 as a target date. Braun moved: Kelley seconded: That 1980 be set as the target date for the City's Master Plan, and that a vote of confi d ence be herewith expressed by the Planning and Zoning Commission members for the Planning Director I I Ayes: Braun, Hill, Jones, Kelley, Schmitt I Nays: None Absent: Romans The Planning Director presented a map showing the current boundary status of Englewood and its adjoining incorporated neighbors. The map also displayed the area covered in the Littleton Master Plan and the Sheridan master plan, both of which have been completed. Based on this information, and logical area for a community master plan, the suggested area was shown in black as the tentative boundaries for the Englewood Master Plan. I I I Page 357 It was pointed out in discussion that these limits are for specific planning and project estimating in all nine sections of the Master Plan. However, certain phases such as utility lines and drainage courses would extend far beyond the proposed plan b oundaries in order to present a realistic picture. It was agreed that since the Englewood Plan area overlaps both the Sheridan and Littleton Plan area, a joint meeting should be scheduled with the Sheridan and Littleton Planning Commissions in order to explain to the respective .communities that the overlap simply indicates a wish on Englewood's part to integrate the other existing master plans as a consideration in building the Englewood Plan and does not in any way display a desire on the part of Englewood to "swallow up" portions of the adjoining communities. It was decided that the proposed black line boundary on the map appears to be the logical boundary for the Englewood Plan. But before such a decision is reached, the Planning Director should arrange a joint Planning Commission meeting with Englewood, Sheridan, and Littleton planning officials. Planning Off ice City ICRPC Meetings Report The Planning Director reported that since Mayor Scott is a likely choice for the position of MAMA (Metropolitan Area Municipal Association) Chairman for the coming year, and since present ICRPC by-laws require that the Chairman of MAMA must be his municipality's represen- tative to ICRPC, it is possible that the Planning Director may be replaced as Englewood's representative to ICRPC by Mayor Scott. Developments in Urban Mayor's Group, State Legislature, ICRPC, City and County of Denver, and State Highway Department are all proceeding along divergent and uncoordinated paths toward the single goal of a thorough study and analysis of metropolitan growth and local government designed to produce efficient service while retaining an effective voice of the citizen. The Planning Director added a personal observation that it is unfortunate that all of these well-meaning agencies cannot overlook the details which now prevent a unified drive toward the ultimate goal. Planning Commission Planning Director ' --,... - Area Rezoning Policy Hearing No. 41-58A (Also see Hearing No. 112-57-B) November 20, 1958 The Planning Director presented two proposals for modifying the present rezoning policy in order to clarify such policy. The proposals for modifying the present policies are as follows: "Delete No. 1 of the present rezoning policy and substitute therefor: 'l. Area: a. must consist of at least four acres and be contiguous to a like zoning classification. b. must consist of at least two acres provided it is ad- joined on at least two sides by a like zoning classification." "Add to Zoning policy the following: '5. A period of one (1) year shall be required between the denial of a zoning request and the resubmission of a similar request involving more than half of the original area to be rezoned to the same major zone classification as originally requested (Major zone classifications are R-1, R-2, R-3, C-1 , C-2, M-1, M-2, P) ." In the discussion that followed, it was felt that the matter of area has been made flexible enough by the addition of special consideration when a P Zone is involved and that no modification of the present area requirement is necessary at this time .. As to the limits for re-applying for rezoning, it was felt that the merits of the individual case should dictate whether or not significant characteristic changes had taken place since the previous rezoning rather than a fixed time limit. It was agreed that both suggested policy changes are not necessary at the present time. Planning Commission Planning Director Institute for Planning Officials Two Day Conference at Colorado University March 6th and 7th Hearing No. 7-59 The Planning Director explained that the second annual Institute for Planning Officials has been scheduled at the University of Colorado for Friday afternoon and Saturday morning, March 6th and 7th. Money is budgeted in the Miscellaneous Planning Account to send Planning Commission Members to such converences if they are able to attend. Commissioners Braun, Jones, Kelley, and the Planning Director indicated that they wish to attend the conference. The Planning Director indicated that sufficient funds are available to pay for the conference fee, sponsored meals of the conference only (not all meals or any housing) and possibly some transportation expenses. The Planning Director was instructed to make four reservations for the conference. Planning Commission Planning Director General Zoning Amendments .---- Hearing No. 3-59-A ~ January 22, 1959 The Planning Director referred to a memorandum containing proposed wording for general zoning amendments being considered by the Planning and Zoning Commission and the Board of Adjustment and Appeals. He stated that a proposal for additional setback be included in the R-1-B Zone since the frontage had been raised from fifty feet to one hundred feet. Mr. Hill and Mr. Braun suggested that the Planning and Zoning Commission plan on extensive consideration of the proposed frontage and side yard changes in the R-3-B Zone at the next Page 358 Planning meeting. The Planning Director stated that he would secure photographic slides illustrating various types of apartment houses in the Denver area possible on various front a ges. It was suggested that a general meeting of the Board of Adjustment and Appeals, City Attorney, Building Inspector, and City Manager be held at 3:00 P. M. on Wednesday, February 25th. The Planning Director was instructed to notify all parties concerned in writing and remind them by telephone prior to the February 25th meeting. There being no further business to come before the City Planning and Zoning Commission, the meeting was adjourned at 10:05 P. M. Jewell M. Banfield Recording Secretary Approved J. M. Lacy ~~~~~~~~-"---- MEMORANDUM TO THE ENGLEWOOD CITY COUNCIL REGARDING ACTION OR RECOMMENDATION OF THE CITY PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION Date: Subject: Recommendation: February 5, 1959 Old North School Property That the City suggest to the School Board that the pending sale of the subject area be reconsidered in light of the specific needs which the subject area could serve , and that an inspection by the Building Department and the Fire Department be made to determine the structural safety of the building for possible school room use.

M. Members Presmt: Braun, Hill, Jones, Kelley, Romans, Schmitt and Lacy, Ex-Officio Members Absent: None Visitors: Gail Mullis, Norman Granes -Littleton Planning Commission James Halley, Eugene Gillespie -Sheridan Planning Commission Planning Office City Master Plan Coordination Hearing No. 32-56-A May 17, 1958 (Also see Hearing No. 45-58-B Feb. 5.) Mr. Jones explained that the purpose of the meeting was to discuss Englewood's tentative Master Plan boundaries with the Littleton and Sheridan Commissioners, and pointed out some of the factors of the Englewood Master Plan that will overlap. The Planning Director explained that the overlapping boundaries for Planning were simply to integrate existing plans in the overlap areas. Political jurisdiction is not considered since various cities cannot control the presentation of petitions to themselves for annexation. Howeve r , any and all cities who might logically have control of an abutting unincorporated area should have a plan for that area. I I I
