Parkinson mo ved: Rice seconded: The Minutes of August 5, 1964 be approved as written. The motion carried unanimously. Mr. Rice discussed briefly the recommendation made at the August 5th meeting on the financing of the bridge at West Dartmouth Avenue and the Platte River. He reported that the City Council had been very receptive to the idea, and that he thought an appropriation w ou ~d be made for the bridge in the 1965 budget. III. TRAFFIC REPORT. The preliminary draft of the Traffic Report to be submitted by Small-Cooley and Associates was submitted for review by the Planning Commission on July 29, 1964. The preliminary re- port has been reviewed and discussed by the Commission. Mr. Martin Tessler, of Small-Cooley and Associates, was present to answer any questions the Commission might have. Mr. Rice stated he would like to see a definite recommendation in the report; alternatives could be cited and explained, but he felt the Consultant should choose one plan and make a firm recommendation on it. The last two pages of the preliminary report were discussed. Mr. Carlson questioned the estimated expense for the bridges on Hampden and Bannock. Mr. Tessler stated the consultants estimated this would be the expense incurred to reconstruct the bridges; they felt it would be very dif f icult to widen the two bridges without a complete reconstruction, as t he structures are inadequate. Further discussion ensued . Mr. Tessler stated he felt the Final Report could be submitted in three weeks. The Planning Director suggested a special joint meeting of the Citizens' Action Committee, the Planning Commission and the Traffic Consultant at the time the Final Report is submitted. Discussion of a special meeting ensue d . September 2, 1964, was decided as a tentative date; in the event the Final Report cannot be ready by that time, the Planning Office is to be notified well in advance to notify the Commission and Action Committee members of the delay. IV. ENGLEWOOD INVESTMENT CO. Ray Shelton SUBDIVISION Resubdivision of Blocks 10 and 11 , Logandale CASE #12-64A Mr. Shelton and Mr. Ben Waggoner were present to discuss the revised Preliminary Plat of a resubdivision of Block 10 and 11, Logandale. Mr. Shelton stated the property was located at West .Lehigh Avenue and South Santa Fe Lane and is zoned I-1, Light Industrial. Mr. Monson stated the revised Plat had been sent to all utility departments and companies; replies have been received from all but the telephone company. The Engineer's Office has suggested that Topeka Court be renamed South Santa Fe Lane; the proposed inner street be named Lipan Parkway or Lehigh Place. The Public Service Company has requested an additional easement between Lots 7 and 8 for street lighting. Mr. Monson pointed out that this property is adjoining the Wilkerson Corporation on the south and City property on the east. An 8 foot easement has been given by the Englewood Investment Company along these boundaries; however, a 16 foot easement is required in the Subdivision Regulations. Mr. Monson asked if the Commission felt the 8 feet were adequate , or if some effort to obtain a full 16 foot easement should be made? Mr. Shelton said the Wilkerson Corporation was at present being served electrical power from the north boundary of their property and suggested that an easement with the Public Service Company might exist. Mr. Rice stated he would check this possibility. Mrs. Romans asked if off-street parking space would be provided, inasmuch as the lots in the proposed resubdivision are small. Mr . .Shelton stated that, in his opinion, off-street parking was required in the Code, and they would have to meet the Code requirements. Rice moved: Whitcomb seconded: The preliminary plat of the Resubdivision of Blocks 10 and 11, Logandale, be approved subject to the renaming of Topeka Court to South Santa Fe Lane; the inside street being named West Lehigh Place, and the requested additional street lighting easement between Lots 7 and 8 being shown on the Final Plat. The motion carried unanimously. V. PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM. The Planning Director stated that several department heads have submitted the information to the Planning Department. The Public Improvement Program has also been discussed at the May o r's Coffee Hour with citizens who attend. The program and revised estimated costs recommended in 1961 were discussed. Inasmuch as the Commission members felt that they needed more information concerning the possible reloca t ion of the City Hall and to review the Traffic Consultant's Final Report before they could con- sider a comprehensive Public Improvement Program. no action was taken at this meeting. Page 794 VI. SCHOOL DISTRICT #1 Flood Junior High Vacation 3600 Block of Lincoln/Sherman alley CASE #4-64C Previous discussion and action taken by the Commission was reviewed. The Council had referred the proposed vacation of South Lincoln and the Linco ln/Sherman alley back to .the School Board for condemnation. After hav i ng reviewed an appraisal of possible damage to adjacent properties which was made for the Board by Watson Bowes, the Board has decided to request the vacation of that portion of the Lincoln/Sherman alley which is within the School District property and to propose the dedication of an access-way from the alley west to Lincoln through the north 25 feet of the School District property. This will not provide the integrated school site that had been planned by the Board, but it will make possible some use of the property. Mrs. Romans asked if the Commission felt the School Board should again present their case, or if the recommendation made previously could b e adopted in part. Discussion followed. It was suggested the School Board present their revised request to the Commission for their consideration and recommendation. VII. MRS, J, KEARNEY 3363 South Santa Fe CASE #20-64 The Planning Director read a memorandum from B. A. Wallace, Chief Building Inspector, in which he asked the Commission to c o nsider Mrs. Kearney's request for a Beauty Shop at 3363 South Santa Fe. This address is zoned I-1 , and beauty shops are not listed as a permitted use in this zone classification. Uses that are not mentioned in a zone di s trict are subject to Sectio n 2 2,5-19 of the 1963 Comprehensive Zoning Or d inance, which reads: "Uses Not Mentioned. Upon recommendation of the Planning Commission, a Building Permit may be issued for any lawful use not provided for in this Ordinance, when, in the opinion of the Commission s u ch · use is compatible with and not objectionable to nearby property by reason .of odor, dust, funes, gas, noise, radiation, heat, glare or vibration or is not hazardous to health and property of the surrounding areas through danger of fire or explosion." Discussion followed. It was the Commission's opinion that the use would be compatible with the present development of the adjoining properties. Parkinson moved: Whitcomb seconded: The request made by Mrs. John Kearney for a beauty shop at 3363 South Santa Fe, which area is zoned I-1, be approved in accordance wit h Section 22.5-19 of the 1963 Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance. The motion carried unanimously. VIII. ACCESSORY USES. The Planning Director discussed a letter fram Mr. Veasey, Aurora Planning Director, wherein a car wash establishment requesting gasoline pumps as an accessory use was discussed. The City of Aurora has adopted a Filling Station Ordinance which is similar to that of the City of Englewood, and Mrs. Romans asked which, in the opin.ion of the Commission, was the accessory use? Inasmuch as gasoline was being sold, did this constitute a filling station or gasoline service station? Would the "Filling Station Ordinance" be applicable in such instances? Discussion ensued. It was noted that sever.al Big Top establishments have installed self- service gasoline pumps. Mr. Rice suggested the Planning Director send a memorandum to the Chief Building Inspector stating that the Commission would regard any installation of ga soline pumps to be a "service station" use, and to be controlled as pe.r the restrictions set forth in the 1963 Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance as to zone district s , distance limitations, etc. IX. NEW ENGLEWOOD TRAFFIC PATTERNS CASE #C9 -64A The progress in developing adequate ingress to and egress from the proposed New Englewood Development was reviewed. A letter from the State Highway Department to City Manager Dia.l, dated August 14, 1964, was read to the Commission. Mrs. Romans also reviewe d a letter written to her by Mr. Vo n Frellick in regard to downtown traffic problems and possible solutions. Brief discussion followed.
