BEAU MONDE, INC. KLZ Site REZONING R-1-A to R-3-B CASE #12-65C The Planning Director stated that she had been informed that representatives from the Committee to Preserve Zoning Integrity, the Northeast Englewood Citizens' Committee, and Von Frellick Associates, are meeting and are considering an agreement between these groups relative to the use of the KLZ Site. It was hoped that the document would be ready for presentation to the Planning Commission for their information and consideration at this meeting; however, it is now the opinion of those drawing up the agreement that at least another week will be needed. A request has been made for the Planning Commission to delay further consideration of the matter until the agreement can be finalized. Mr. Fullerton stated that he had been contacted by Mr. Dittemore, attorney for Von Frellick Associates, with the same request. It was decided by the Commission members that the case would not be removed from the table at this meeting in an effort to give those persons working on the agreement additional time. V. MASTER STREET PLAN Core Area Traffic Pattern ONE-WAY STREET South Sherman CASE #2-65H Mrs. Romans stated a petition opposing the designation of South Sherman from East Yale Avenue to East Quincy Avenue as a one-way street northbound, which was recommended to the City Council by the Planning Commission on April 14, 1965, has been referred to the P l anning Commission. The petition contains signatures of residents along South Sherman Street from the 2700 block through the 4200 block. Mr. Rice stated he wanted additional information on this petition; an analysis of the signatures, who promoted the petition, and other pertinent data. He asked that the Planning Director study and analyze the petition. Discussion followed, Rice moved: Fullerton seconded: The petition be received and tabled for further study and analysis. The motion carried unanimously. VI. SH I VERS, BANTA & MCMARTIN Southwest corner Highway 70 and South Logan Street. REZONING B-1 to B-2 CASE #13-65 Mr. McMartin stated he was appearing for Mr. Shivers on behalf of Mr. Harold Sales and Mr. Roy Sales, owners of property at the southwest corner of Highway 70 and South Logan Street. There is a Standard Oil Company service station at that location. Mr. McMartin stated that when Highway #70 right-of-way negotiations were in process in 1955, the City agreed to deed a strip of land at the rear of the subject site to the Messrs. Sales and zone the site C-2 in return for the needed right-of-way dedication by Messrs. Sales for the Highway. Page 870 When the 1963 Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance and Map were adopted, in an effort to elimi- nate the "spot" zone of B-2 at that location, the property was designated B-1, which designation makes the service station use non-conforming. The owners were unaware of this change of zone classification until recently when a request to install additional pumps was denied by the Building Department/ Mr. Shivers appeared before City Council, and requested they initiate rezoning of this property from B-1 to B-2. Council referred the matter to the Planning Commission. Discussion ensued. Mr. Rice asked if the agreement was written and recorded, and with whom the majority of correspondence and negotiations were held? Mr. McMartin stated the "agreement" was notes and letters and the City official was the City Manager at that time. Further discussion followed. City Attorney Criswell commented that he felt the agreement would be illegal, even had the City Council voted on the matter. Mr. Criswell recommended the Commission donsider referral as an "initiated application", and follow rezoning procedures. Brief discussion followed. Fullerton moved: Parkinson secon d ed: The Planning Commission initiate rezoning of the subject property from B-1 to B-2, Public Hearing to be held October 20, 1965, the property to be properly posted and Public Notice given in the City paper. The motion carried unanimously. Referrals from the City Council to a Board or Commission were discussed. Mr. Carlson suggested all referrals to and from the Planning Commission be submitted in writing . VII. H, J, CORAH CASE#l4-65 West Nassau-South Fox Mrs. Romans read a letter from Mr. Corah requesting determination of the need for exten- sion o f West Nassau Avenue from South Fox Street west to the Fox-Galapago alley. Mrs. Romans stated that written recommendations from the City Engineer and the Utilities Director have been received. There is a sewer line in the alley, to which the only route of access i s from West Nassau. Access for this line must be maintained; both Departments have stated opposition to vacation of Nassau west of South Fox. Mr. Corah stated he wanted to build on the southwest corner of this intersection. South Fox has been petitioned for inclusion in the paving district for next year; if the neces- sity for West Nassau is determined, they would like to have that portion improved at the same time. However, Mr. Corah does not feel a full street is needed, and suggested an 18 ft. lane would be quite adequate. He suggested the land be provided on the north of I the existing West Nassau; he felt this would give better access to Dr. Milligan's property I on the northwest corner of the intersection. He further stated he felt a full street width would add to the hazardous "dead end" situation existing there. He also stated he did not want to pay for a full street improvement. Discussion f ollowed. Mr. Corah stated his ownership is 262 ft. x 125 ft., and he would like to develop as much of his property as is possible. The Commission stated they would like to view the property and also receive a recommendation from Chief Woods on the ade- quacy of access needed for fire equipment before making a decision. Mr. Corah agreed to this suggestion. VIII. METR OP OLITAN TRUCK ROUTE MAP Mrs. Romans stated the Traffic Engineer's Advisory Committee of Inter-County Regional Planning Commission has been working on a uniform truck route system for the Metro- politan area. This encompasses uniform load limits, signing, and continuous routes. A small map with the proposed metro truck routes indicated was given members. The only change noted in Englewood is the designation of South Broadway from Dartmouth to Quincy Avenue as a truck route. However, trucks are permitted to use state highways for their routes, so South Broadway from the Highway 70 overpass to Quincy is now, in effect, a truck route. All industrial streets carry truck traffic. Fullerton moved: Woods seconded: The Planning Commission recommend to City Council that Section 25.20-9(b) of the Municipal Code be amended to include South Broadway from Dartmouth south to Quincy as a truck route. The motion carried unanimously. Further discussion ensued on the truck weight limit. The Committee has recommended that a un i form empty weight limit of 7,000 pounds for trucks be imposed throughout the metropolitan area on streets prohibiting trucks. This would be a more realistic limit and the nee d for uniformity throughout the area is very important to the businesses and industries. Touchton moved: Rice and Parkinson seconded: The Planning Commission recommend to City Council the maximum weight limit for trucks on streets other than those designated as "truck routes" be raised to 7,000 pounds empty weight, and that the Municipal Code, Section 25.20-9, be so amended. The motion carried unanimously. I I I I Page 871 IX. OPEN SPACE CONFERENCE. Mrs. Romans stated an Open Space Conference is scheduled for September 25th and 26th at Vail, Colorado.
