Mr. Miles replied there was not; that in some instances entire communities have been included in the program. Mr. Miles further elaborated on credits a community would receive in an Urban Renewal program; i.e., schools, curb, gutter, water and sewer lines are all determined as credits. Mr. Dial asked if the ICRPC served as a clearing agency for federal aid requests? Mr. Smith replied they did not at the present time; all requests would go directly to HHFA. Mr. Carlson thanked Mr. Smith and Mr. Miles for their presentation. Mrs. Romans reminded members of the meeting to be held in Denver on Friday, January 15, 1965, on a community renewal program; also of the Boulder Conference in February, and of the next regular Planning Commission meeting on January 20, 1965. It was moved, seconded and carried to adjourn the meeting. Respectfully submitted, Gertrude G.

CITY OF ENGLEWOOD PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION January 20, 1965 Regular Meeting The regular meeting of the City Planning and Zoning Commission was called to order at 8:00 P.M. by Chairman Carlson. Members present: Whitcomb, Touchton, Parkinson, Fullerton, Carlson Romans, Ex-officio Members absent: Rice Also present: Planning Assistant Wayne Monson II. APPROVAL OF MINUTES. Mr. Carlson stated there were two sets of Minutes to be considered for approval by the Com- mission; those of January 6, 1965, and January 13, 1965. The Minutes were briefly reviewed. Fullerton moved: Touchton seconded: The Minutes of January 6, 1965, and January 13, 1965, be approved as written. The motion carried unanimously. III. YALE-TEJON SUBDIVISION CASE #22-64D Mrs. Romans reported on a meeting with Mr. Byrne , Mr. Waggoner, Mr. Dial, Mr. Monson, and herself concerning the proposed Yale-Tejon Subdivision. The meeting had been called in order that the recommendations made by the City Engineer in his memo of December 24, 1964, could be discussed with the subdivider. One of the recommendations made by the Engineer had been that a 60' rather than a 30' dedication on West Bates Avenue be given in order that the street would better align with West Bates Avenue within the Englewood Industrial Park Subdivision on the east side of South Tejon. Mr. Byrne indicated at that meeting, as he had at previous meetings with the Planning Commission, that a 30' dedication on West Bates Avenue is all they feel they can give at the present time. If, in the future, they need the additional roadway width, and there is no indication of cooperation on the part of th~ property owners to the south, they will dedicate the additional 30'. The matter o f the additional right-of-way at the Tej o n-Bates intersection was discussed at this meeting; it was determined that it would be a matter of negotiation between the developers and the City , but would not necessarily need to be shown on the subdivision plat. IV. PROPOSED BALTIC SUBDIVISION CASE #1-65 Mrs. Romans stated that a meeting had been held by the City Manager in the Planning Office to discuss the advisability of a resubdivision of Blocks 15 and 16 of Evans Park Estates Sub- division in order that utility service might be provided to the properties under a more feasible plan than is now being used. Property owners in Block 16 have dedicated a 60' right- of-way to the City for the opening of West Baltic Avenue between South Zuni Street and South Vallejo S~reet and interest has been shown in a similar dedication by a majority of the owners in Block 15, between South Vallejo Street and South Tejon Street. Utility poles which are owned by Mountain States Telephone and Telegraph and used by Public Service Company are now situated within the area dedicated or proposed to be dedicated for West Baltic Avenue. In addition to these poles, Public Service Company owns poles which are located on various properties without proper easement and in no orderly pattern. Inasmuch as it will be necessary to relocate these poles , it would seem to be to the best interest of everyone concerned to resubdivide these two blocks and relocate t he utility lines in properly dedicated alleyways. I I I I I I Page 823 Discussing the matter with City Manager Dial were Mr. Johnson and Mr. Smith from Mountain States Telephone and Telegraph Company, Mr. Ru st a nd Mr. L aurenc e from Public Service Company, City Engineer Waggoner, Utilities Director Dobratz, Planning Director Romans, and Planning Assistant Monson. Another meeting will be held by this group after the representatives of the Mountain States Telephone and Telegraph Company and Public Service Company have had an opportunity to con- sider the matter. If at that time, a resubdivision is indeed determined to be the proper approach, a meeting will be called with the property owners to explain the situation and the possibilities of a more orderly development of their property under this plan. V. MEETINGS. Mrs. Romans stated a meeting with the Business Council of the Ch a mber of Commerce had been scheduled for January 27, 1965, at which time she was to present the information in the Parking Monograph. She read the letter that had been sent to members of the Business Council by the Englewood Chamber of Commerce office. The Director asked that the special meeting of the Planning Com mission be omitted for that evening to enable the various groups to get to- gether to review this information. Discussion followed. It was the feeling of the Commission that the Chamber of Commerce, the Merchants' Association, and the Ci t i z e n s ' Ac t ion Co mmittee members should all be invited to this meeting for the presentation of the Parking Monograph. An additional meeting has been scheduled by the Chamber for February 2, 1965, to discuss the various methods of financing off-street parking areas. Again, it was felt that the three groups should be present for this discussion. A meeting at the State Highway Department has been scheduled for January 26, 1965, 7:30 p.m. The program will be presented by Mr. Braman, Denver Planning Director and Chairman of the DMATS Technical Committee, and Mr. Shumate, Chief Engineer, Colorado Department of Highways . There will be discussion on the Systems 3 Map by DMATS. Member s were urged to attend if possible. Members of the Planning Commission have been invited to attend a meeting of the Downtown Denver Improvement Association, which is scheduled for January 28th. Members were urged to attend this meeting also. The Commission members were reminded of the Institute for Planners to be held at the University of Colorado February 12 and 13, 1965 . Advance reservations are requested; any members that might be attending this institute were asked to notify the office. VI. REX GARRETT 1451 West Tufts REZONING R-1-C to I-1 CASE #26-64A Mr. Rex Garrett presented an application and rezoning fee for the rezoning of the area just west of the City Ditch, north of West Tufts Avenue, south of West Stanford Avenue, and east of the City boundary. This area is presently zoned R-1-C; Mr. Garrett is requesting I-1 . He stated he did not feel this area is desirable f or R-1 development, and felt the land could best be used as a Light Industrial development. Mrs. Romans outlined the procedure for a rezoning request. The next quarterly rezoning hearings before the Commission would be in March, 1965. Fullerton moved: Touchton seconded: The Public Hearing for the requested change of zone from R-1-C to I-1 of the area west of City Ditch, north of West Tufts Avenue, south of West Stanford Avenue and east of the City boundary line be schedu led for March 17, 1965 , the property to be posted and publication given in the official City newspaper. The motion carried unanimously. VII . DESIGNATION OF STREETS. Mrs. Romans stated that in past paving districts, the same base and surf a ce has been used on all streets --arterials, collector streets, or truck routes. In the forthcoming paving districts, it is proposed to have a 4" surface with a 6" base on arterial streets. In reviewing the street designations of the City of Englewood, portions of nearly every street are designated as "arterials". The various designations given by the Five-County Engineers were reviewed ; she suggested that the designations and definitions used by the Five-County Engineers be adopted to the Englewood Street System and incorporated into the Master Street Plan. Discussion ensued. The Commission agreed that the incorporation of the same designations and definitions into the Master Street Plan should be done. VIII. MISCELLANEOUS Mrs. Romans reported that a Mr. Evers had suggested that South Lincoln Street be widened in the 3400 block and that angle parking be installed in this block . He felt this would improve the parking situation in downtown Englewood. Mrs. Romans stated that she had been contacted by a representative from the Eng lewood Savings and Loan Company. They are about to tear down their structure on Hampden, and are concerned about the possible future widening of Hampden. They have asked if the structure to be built on that property should be set back to accommodate the possible widening of Hampden. Dis- cussion ensued. Mr. Fullerton commented he felt it would be to their benefit if the street were to be widened; it was the feeling of the Commission that the Company should be again contacted arid the possible setting back of the structure discussed. Page 824 Various sketches for the Master Plan and Montage were shown on the opaque projector borrowed from the Englewood School System. Touchton moved: Whitcomb seconded: The meeting be adjourned. The motion carried and the meeting was declared adjourned at 10:30 P.M. Respectfully submitted, Gertrude G.

CALL TO ORDER. The regular meeting of the City Planning and Zoning Commission was called to order by Acting Chairman Carlson at 8:10 P.M. Members present: Touchton , Rice, Parkinson, Fullerton, Carlson Romans, Ex-officio Members absent: Whitcomb II . APPROVAL OF MINUTES. Mr. Carlson stated the Minutes of January 20, 1965, were to be considered for approval. The Minutes were reviewed.

Mr. Carlson stated that the office of Chairman and Vice-Chairman of the City Planning om- mission would need to be filled. Discussion ensued. Mr. Rice asked if the Chairman of the Commission was still to be the representative to the Inter-County Regional Planning Commission as in the past? Mrs. Romans stated that it was the wish of the Inter-County officials that "elected officials" of a municipality or county be designated as the "representative" to ICRPC: this does not necessarily apply to the "alternate" member from the municipality or county. She stated a memorandum has been sent by ICRPC to the various municipalities and counties to this effect; in this particular instance, the "elected official" would be a councilman from the City of Englewood. Further discussion followed. MR. RICE NOMINATED MR. CARLSON AS CHAIRMAN OF THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION. MR. TOUCHTON SECO NDED THE NOMINATION.
