The motion carried unanimously. III. ENGLEWOOD INVESTMENT COMPANY Ray Shelton SUBDIVISION Lehigh Park CASE #12-64B Mr. Ray Shelton and Mr. Ben Waggoner were present to discuss the proposed subdivision. Mrs. Romans briefly reviewed action on this case. The preliminary plat has been approved. The Final Plat has been presented to the Planning Office, and sent to utility companies and departments. A date for Public Hearing will be set, and adjoining property owners notified by registered mail of the time and place of such hearing. Mr. Monson summarized replies from the utilities companies and departments. The Engineer's Office has requested closer accuracy on the bearings, and the City Attorney has asked for an up-to-date abstract. These changes will need to be complied with prior to the acceptance of the Final Plat and recommendation to the City Council. Parkinson moved: Whitcomb seconded: The Commission receive the Final Plat of Lehigh Park Subdivision, the date for Public Hearing to be set for October 21, 1964. The motion carried unanimously. IV. PARKING MONOGRAPH CASE #23-64 Mr. Harvey Norgaard, representative of the Chamber of Commerce, Englewood Merchants Association, and a member of the Merchants Parking Association, was present for the discussion of the Parking Monograph recently compiled by the Planning Department Staff. Mr. Fullerton entered and was seated with the Commission. Mrs. Romans reviewed the study. The Director pointed out that there have been no recommenda- tions made by the staff in the Monograph. She requested the members to thoroughly study and review the Monograph, and that the Commission members would then make the recommendations to the City Council. Charts in the study show conditions with angle parking existing, and with the angle parking removed. Mr. Rice asked for clarification on the angle parking existing on South Broadway; whether it was instituted by a vote of the people, and therefore, could not be removed except by a vote of the people, or whether Council action could be instigated to remove angle parking. Mrs. Romans cited the Municipal Code, which indicates the angle parking is permissive legislation, and which could be changed by Council action. The Parking Monograph was further discussed. The members were asked to take their copies with them to further study them. Mr. Fullerton commended the staff on the report. V. SMALL-COOLEY ASSOCIATES TRAFFIC REPORT Mrs. Romans stated the City Manager has indicated he felt a meeting with the City Council, Citizens Action Committee and the Planning Commission to discuss the Traffic Report recently completed by Small-Cooley Associates would be wise. The date of October 14, 1964, was sug- gested. Discussion ensued. Mr. Whitcomb and Mr. Fullerton indicated it would be difficult for them to attend that evening. October 13, 1964, was discussed as a possible meeting date. Mr. Fullerton stated he would have a conflicting meeting on October 21, 1964, also. It was decided to set the meeting date for October 13, 1964, with an alternate of October 20, 1964 . Rice moved: Whitcomb and Parkinson seconded: The meeting be adjourned. The motion carried and the meeting was declared adjourned at 10:15 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Gertrude G.

Members Present: Touchton, Whitcomb, Fullerton and Rice. Members Absent: Carlson and Parkinson Also present: Mayor Samuel L. Love Councilman George Allen Councilman William Hanson; I I I I I I Others Present: Action Committee Members: Jack Eachon Ray Ludwig Edward Draper Robert Close Leo Lentsch Nate Burt Rev. Stowell Sandmeyer John Jameson C. V. Coleman City Manager Dial City Attorney Esch City Engineer Waggoner Planning Directo r Romans Page 805 Commission members Parkinson and Carlson and Councilman John Kreiling entered the meeting and were seated later. Mayor Love reviewed rather briefly the function of the Citizens' Action Committee and the very key role it has played in developing plans to improve the traffic situation within the Core Area. It wa s primarily at the requ est of the Commi t tee that the firm of Small- Cooley & Associates was retained by the City Council to analyze our traffic problems in the Core Area and to make recommendations as to the most feasible plans for correcting these problems. Mayor Love went on to explain that the Traffic Consultant's report has been de- layed somewhat by the decision on the part of the New Englewood Company, at the request of several local businessmen and the Action Committee to construct their proposed shopping complex to the west and adjoining the present Core Area rather than on the site known as the KLZ property. The area within which New Englewood would be constructed is now used as a park and a commercial golf course. Mr. Love explained that an earlier meeting of the Planning Commission, City Council and Action Committee wh ich had been set to review the Traffic Report with Mr. Small and Mr. Tessler of Small-Cooley and Associates, had not been well attended because of a conflict in time. Therefore, this meeting was called to give the members of these three groups an- other opportunity to discuss the consultants report. Mr. Love then requested the Planning Director to review the report. Mrs. Romans gave a rather general summarization of the Downtown Englewood Traffic Study, Small-Cooley and Associates, September, 1964, which is concerned with three major areas: first, ingress to and egress from the Core Area; second, traffic circulation within the Core Area; and third, parking -both off-street and on-street within the Core Area. In analyzing these three poin ts , the report provides supplemental information on traffic lights, signing, pavement marking and street lighting. Discussion of the Study and the recommendations made in the Study followed. Mr. Love suggested that a copy of the Study be sent to both Mr. Haase and Mr. Merten in order that they might have an opportunity to review it before the liaison committee representing the City in the discussions with the State Highway Department meets with them on the next occasion. The matter of the contract between the City and the State Highway Department involving the Bannock-Highway 70 intersection was di scussed. The Mayor stated that he would be in contact with the liaison committee that had met with the State Highway Department officials previously, to discuss the advisability of setting up another meeting to discuss projected traffic plans of the City which involve the State Highway Department. It was agreed that the City should work closely with the Highway Department and that a comprehensive traffic plan must be adopted at once. It was also agreed that the immediate efforts of the group should be directed toward the coming election, should the Supreme Court rule that the City may, indeed, submit the question of the validity of the Ordinance which zones the New Englewood area, the proposed vacation of the streets within the park area and the purchase of the Norgren building for a City Hall, to the people at the General Election ' on November 3, 1964. The meeting adjourned at 10:15 P. M. Respectfully submitted, D. A.

Members present: Whitcomb, Fullerton and Parkinson Members absent: Carlson, Touchton and Rice Also present: Planning Director Romans and Mr. Shelton. Mr. Shelton was present to support his request for the L ehigh Park Subdivision. There was no one present in opposition; however, in the absence of a quorum and clearance from the Title Guarantee Company, no decision could be made. Mrs. Romans stated that Mr. Sampson of the Wil k erson Corporation and Mansfield Realty had called to say he is in favor of the subdivision provided there were no plans to cut an alley next to their property. The Engineering Department reports that no improvements in the easements appear to be violated by the plat for subdivision. The matter was continued to the next me eting of the Planning and Zoning Commission on November 4, 19 6 4.
