Members present: Hill, Kreiling, Love, Pershing, Rice Romans, Ex-officio Members absent: Miles Also present: Alan Koppel, Planning Assistant ---1 - - - I. APPROVAL OF MINUTES Hill moved: Pershing seconded: The Minutes of March 22 , 1962, be approved as printed. The motion carried unanimously. II. PARK-ELITCH CASE #5-62A Love moved: Hill seconded: The Public Hearing on the Park-Elitch rezoning be opened. The motion carried unanimously. A brief history of the case was given by the Director. • Notice was given in the Englewood Herald on March 19, 1962, and the property has been posted the required length of time. The following reasons were given for the rezoning request: "This property abutts M-1 Industrial property owned by the same owner. It is entirely un- suitable for development for any purpose other than industrial. There is no access or possible access to this parcel to permit resident type development. This is a request for an extension of an existing M-1 Industrial Zone. The City Ditch constitutes a natural barrier protecting other residential zones to the East. The property is presently under option contingent upon re-zoning for the immediate construction of industrial development which will benefit the City of Englewood from · a tax standpoint." Mr. Miles entered and took his place with the Commission members. Slides of the subject and surrounding area were shown. Mr. Mark Shivers stated he was the legal representative for Park-Elitch, but that Mr. Ray Ludwig has been in closer contact with the applicant as their realtor. Mr. Ludwig stated that Colonel Danks owned five (5) acres immediately to the north of the two (2) acres under consideration for rezoning to ·M-1, and that in discussion with Colonel Danks' son, it was indicated that they would have no objection to the rezoning. The Park-Elitch Company in- tends to construct a street running east from Santa Fe and dedicate same to the City . This will be the only ingress-egress to this property. The eastern 1 /2 of the property is planned for immediate development. Mr. James D. Uhlman presented the Commission with a petition signed by 36 resident s in the area opposing the rezoning request. The following reasons were cited by Mr. Uhlma n: (1) If said property ·were rezoned, it would create a ha ~dship on the undersigned property owners by lessening the value of property in the vicinity, which is zoned p re dominately R-1-B. (2) The proposed rezoning would be in opposition to the objectives of the recen t c ity-wide rezoning, whereby a buffer zone of R-1-D or R-2 zoning was placed between R-1-A or R-1-B, and industrial a reas, wherever possible. Page 630 (3) We believe that rezoning is unnecessary to insure the future development of this plot as, at the present, it adjoins residences on two sides, and residential construction is pro- ceding immediately adjacent. Mr. Uhlman further stated the petition represented 87 % of the property owners within 500 feet; and 100% of the people contacted. Mr. Ludwig emphasized that the subject land could not be developed as single family and that the only access would be from Santa Fe. Mr. Shivers stated that in order to · extend West Stanford across the City Ditch, an inverted syphon would have to be used. Mr. Shivers doubted that Denver would · permit this. Mr . Uhlman felt a street dedication of Mariposa or Lipan would give adequate access to the area from the north and west. Love moved: Hill seconded: The public hearing be closed. The motion carried unanimously. Miles moved: Love seconded: The matter of the Park-Elitch rezoning request be tabled for further study. The motion carried unanimously. . ., III. CARMEL PARK SUBDIVISION CASE #22-61F Love moved: Hill seconded: The public hearing be opened. The motion carried unanimously. Mrs. Romans stated that registered letters had been sent to adjoining property owners notifying them of the public hearing. The final plats have been sent to the various City Departments and utility companies. The Telephone Company has requested an easement on the west side of this proposed subdivision, and the Public Service Company has requested one on the west and the south side. To date, five building permits have been issued. Mr. Hill asked if there was any possibility of having 1 /2 of Cherokee Street dedicated. Mr. Erwin stated that previous attempts have been made to put a street , through and in his opinion the owner to the west had been uncooperative. He pointed out also, that in his opinion, Mr. Thompson owns 167' of land and can dedicate his own street and . it will not be a detriment to future development of his land. Mr. Summers stated he represented Mr. Thompson, owner of the land immediately to the \\est of proposed Carmel Park. Mr. Thompson would have to dedicate a full 60 foot street which would leave only 107 feet for development. Mr. Summers felt this would injure Mr. Thompson's chances for development of his land. He further stated that Mr. Thompson has never "refused" to dedicate his portion of Cherokee; that at the time a dedication was attempted, both sites were undeveloped and he "could see no need to give land for street purposes". Mr. Summers pointed out that the 30 foot entrance ways provided by Peerless Builders are not dedicated to the City. On behalf of his client, Mr.Summers asked that approval of Carmel Park Sub- division be withheld until Peerless Builders gives 30 feet for street. Mr. Erwin felt that 50 feet for a street would be adequate as the street would be but one block long. He saw no reason the plat could not be accepted. Mr. Erwin pointed out that the plans have been developed around the present ordinances and the City Attorney's ruling. Kreiling moved: Love seconded: The public hearing be closed. The motion carried unanimously. Mr. Rice stated he felt the developer should contact the utilities companies to get the matter of the required easements solidified before the Planning Commission recommends approval. Love moved: The Planning Commission request the subdivider to present a letter of agreement· with the utilities companies and that the required easements be shown on the subdivision plat. Mr. Erwin stated that a letter of agreement would be obtained and •presented to the Commiss:i:n. Mr. Love withdrew his former motion. Love moved: Hill seconded: The matter be tabled until proper evidence of agreement is presented. The motion carried unanimously. - -~ IV. OLD BUSINESS A. M~s. Romans reported that the proposed meeting with the City Council, Board of Adjustment, and Planning Commission had tentatively been set for April 23, 1962.
