HomeMy WebLinkAbout1965-12-08 PZC MINUTESPage 886 The property is presently zoned R-2 (single-family) in the County; the request is for R-4 (two-family) zoning. Mrs. Romans noted correspondence which was enclosed as a matter of information with the referral from Arapahoe County. Discussion of the zoning status of the KLZ Site and the proposed development of the Kent School site followed. Mrs. Romans pointed out the possibility of a concentration of 180 cars on this site, and noted that there was no consideration given in the correspondence to a traffic pattern. She felt it would be of benefit to the City to have knowledge of the proposed street plan and points of ingress .and egress to the site. Further discussion en- sued. Rice moved: Parkinson seconded: In view of our previous attempts at zoning the KLZ property, which is adjacent to the subject land, resulting in one case being in the State Supreme Court for B-3 zoning, and there being also action before the City Council which tabled the requested R-3-B zoning, it appears that the R-4 zoning request in the County would be compatible to the zoning being considered by the City of Englewood. It is requested that adequate consideration be given to proper access to the property from Highway 70 and adjacent streets. Fonsiderable discussion followed. The motion carried unanimously. The Director was instructed to write a letter of transmittal to Arapahoe County, requesting review of the subdivision plat at such time as it is considered. IV. FLOOD CONTROL. Mrs. Romans stated a hearing on the Chatfield Dam has been scheduled for Friday, November 19, 1965, at 2:00 P.M. The Hearing will be before tl:e Army Corps of Engineers and will be held at the Cosmopolitan Hotel. Interested members were urged to attend. V. INTER-COUNTY REGIONAL PLANNING COMMISSION. The annual dinner meeting of ICRPC is scheduled for November 17, 1965, at the Denver Continental at 6:00 P.M. All members of the Commission indicated they would attend. VI. CONJX)MINIUM DEVELOPMENT. Mr. Fullerton discussed an offer made by residents and property owners of Northeast Englewood to help in drafting an amendment to the 1963 Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance for condominium units. Discussion followed. It was suggested that possibly a uniform planned unit development ordinance could be compiled by Inter-County Regional Planning Commission for the metropolitan area. Mr. Woods felt the offer made by the residents of northeast Englewood might be premature; the planning staff and legal consultants should work on the amendment first; the citizens' aid would then be of benefit. Discussion followed. It was moved and seconded to adjourn the meeting. The motion carried, and the meeting was declared adjourned at 7:50 A.M. Gertrude G.

December 8, 1965 Regular Meeting The regular meeting of the City Planning and Zoning Commission was called to order at 8:00 P.M. Chairman Carlson presiding. Members present: Woods; Touchton; Rice; Parkinson; Fullerton; Carlson Romans, Ex-officio Members absent: None Also Present: Planning Aide Hermann. II. APPROVAL OF MINUTES. Chairman Carlson stated minutes of the November 3, 1965 regular meeting; November 13, 1965 special meeting; and November 17, 1965, special meeting, were to be considered for approval. I I I I I I Parkinson moved: Rice seconded: Page 887 The Minutes of November 3, 1965; November 13, 1965; November 17, 1965, be approved as written. The motion carried unanimously. III. PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF. Mrs. Romans introduced Mrs. Hermann to the Commission. Mrs. Hermann recently began employ- ment in the Department as Planning Aide. IV. SUBDIVISION CASE #19-65A Hampden Hills Baptist Church The Preliminary Plan of the proposed Hampden Hills Baptist Church Subdivision was shown the Commission. Mrs. Hermann stated the Church wishes to subdivide the western portion of their property into five lots; four of the lots will be sold and a parsonage will be constructed on the fifth lot. Mrs. Romans stated the preliminary plans were sent to the various utility companies and city departments for consideraticn . All were returned, and comments and suggestions have been noted. There is a question on the 16 ft. easement, which is shown on the plan as coming off the remaining Church property rather than coming off of the property to be subdivided, but which was apparently intended to be dedicated on the Final Plat. She stated she had discussed the matter with City Attorney Criswell, and he felt this was all right, if it were also accompanied by a Quit Claim Deed to the City. It was suggested the entire Parcel be sub- divided as Block 1 and Block 2, or as Plots 1 thru 6 in order the eliminate any possible problem with the easement, and also to tie the entire parcel together in a subdivision rather than have part of it platted and part of it unplatted. Mr. Fullerton asked if the easement was for water and sewer lines? Mrs. Romans stated it would be for sewer lines and other utilities; however, the area is served water by the City of Denver. Discussion ensued. The members felt areas within the corporate limits of Englewood should be served with Englewood water if at all possible. Mr. Rice commented there had been a water pressure problem at that location, and the Englewood Water Board had studied the situation extensively prior to agreeing to Denver water service. The Director was instructed to further investigate the reason for Denver water service and report back to the Commission. Rice moved: Fullerton seconded: The Preliminary Plan of the Hampden Hills Baptist Church Subdivision be approved; the corrections as noted are to be made on the Final Plat. The motion carried unanimously. V. STREET DEDICATION CASE #16-65B South Cherokee Circle to South Elati The Director indicated the revised plot plan of the proposed shopping area. Overlays with the extension of Cherokee Circle westward to South Elati south of the City Hall were also indicated. The overlays indicate parking spaces which are existing for City Hall employees and guests, the parking spaces which had originally been planned, and the parking spaces which would be available if the street is dedicated. Discussion followed. Mrs. Romans stated she had discussed the possibility of moving the ramp-access into Girard from the underground parking to the north, and the right-of-way widths of Girard and the proposed dedication with Mr. Davis of the New Englewood Company. It had been recommended by the staff that the street right-of-way on Girard should be at least 60 ft. and the right-of-way on Cherokee Circle extended should be at least 50 feet. The parking spaces for City Hall which are available and which will be available were con- sidered. Mr. Fullerton commented that available parking space for the Library is used to capacity now; losing spaces on the south of the building will make the situation more critical. He emphasized the necessity of moving the Girard access-ramp further north to provide the required parking for the City Hall complex. Fullerton moved: Touchton seconded: The Planning Commission recommend to City Council the dedication of the roadway to the south of City Hall between South Elati and Cherokee Circle be approved provided: (1) the access-ramp to Girard on the north end of the Library be moved further north to provide additional parking for the Library and City Hall; (2) a 50 ft. right-of-way for Cherokee Circle ex- tended be designated. The motion carried unanimously. The Commission members instructed the Director to write a letter to Mr. Davis setting fo r th this action, and to include a sketch of the Commission's proposal. VI. ARAPAHOE COUNTY CASE #18-65C Kent School Property Mr. Fullerton stated that Mr. Parkinson, Mr. Woods, and he had attended the Arapahoe County Planning Commission hearing on the zoning of the west 11-1/2 acres of the Kent Scpool property for condominium units. He commented he did not feel the people were objecting to the proposed development as such, but were asking. for assurances on the proposed development. Mr. Parkinson stated the opponents were the same group who had appeared in opposition to the R-3-B zoning of the KLZ Site in Englewood recently. He also pointed out that the applicant Page 888 had indicated he did not feel the limitations imposed by the opponents could be met; and that Mr. Welles, an opponent, had stated he would go on record as opposing the rezoning. Discussion followed. Fullerton moved: Rice seconded: The meeting be adjourned. The motion carried unanimously, and the meeting was declared adjourned at 9:10 P.M. Gertrude G. Welty Recording Secretary MEMORANDUM TO THE ENGLEWOOD CITY COUNCIL REGARDING ACTION OR RECOMMENDATION OF THE CITY PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION. DATE: December 8, 1965 SUBJECT: South Cherokee Circle Street Dedication RECOMMENDATION: The Planning Commission recommend to City Council the dedication of the roadway to the south of City Hall between South Elati and Cherokee Circle be approved provided: (1) the access-ramp to Girard on the north end of the Library be moved further north to provide additional parking for the Library and City Hall; (2) A 50 ft. right-of-way for Cherokee Circle extended be designated.

CITY OF ENGLEWOOD PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION December 15, 1965 Special Meeting The Special Meeting of the City Planning and Zoning Commission was called to order at 8:05 P.M., Chairman Carlson presiding. Members present: Woods, Touchton, Rice, Fullerton, Carlson Romans, Ex-officio Members absent: Parkinson Also present: City Manager Dial Attorney Richard Banta II. NOTICE OF MEETING VERIFICATION. Members in attendance verified notification of the Special Meeting by telephone call. III. SUBDIVISION CASE #19-65B Hampden Hills Baptist Church Mr. Banta was in attendance on behalf of the Hampden Hills Baptist Church, requesting Com- mission approval of a 12 foot utility easement between Block 1 and Block 2 of the proposed subdivision. The Subdivision Regulations require a 16 foot easement. Mr. Parkinson entered and took his seat with the Commission. Mr. Banta stated he is suggesting the 12 foot easement to bring the subdivision into conformance with other subdivisions in the immediate area. He stated he understood that water, sewer, and gas service would be provided from the street. The only utilities using the easement would be Public Service for electric lines, and the telephone company. Discussion followed. Mr. Fullerton asked how much space would be required to maintain the electric lines? Mr. Rice stated the easement must provide adequate access; he did not cite an exact width required for the easement. He pointed out that an easement does not deny use of the land, but the use cannot be of a permanent nature, such as a structure. Further dis- cussion followed; Mrs. Romans cited Section 21.4-5(e) (1) of the Municipal Code, which section sets forth the 16 foot easement requirement. It is the recommendation of the staff that the easement be 16 feet. Mr. Carlson asked Mr. Banta if consideration would be given to an easement of 16 feet, if 10 feet were given from Block 2, the site on which the Church is situated, and 6 feet from Block I I I
