Welty Recording Secretary MEMORANDUM TO THE ENGLEWOOD CITY COUNCIL REGARDING ACTION OR RECOMMENDATION OF THE CITY PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION. DATE: July 6, 1966 SUBJECT: One-Way Street Pattern ACTION: That the Planning Commission remind the City Council that the one-way street pattern as proposed by the Planning Commission and approved by City Council, provides a one-way cuplet, with Hampden one-way west bound from Lafayette to Bannock and Girard one-way east bound from the east exit from the shopping complex to Downing; that Bannock and Acoma are a north-south cuplet, Bannock being south bound from Yale to Quincy, Acoma north bound from Hampden to Yale; that Lincoln-Sherman are a north-south cuplet, Lincoln south bound from Yale to Hampden, Sherman north bound from Quincy to Yale. Further, that the contract signed August 4, 1964, provides that only one street west of South Bannock, South Fox Street, be an entry-way into the New Englewood complex; that an access roadway is to be provided with two-way traffic north of the planting strip separating the residential area from the commercial area and that internal streets, including what may be dedicated at a later date as Floyd Avenue, may or may not be one-way or two-way, or follow any specific pattern at New Englewood Company's option. Despite the fact that Floyd Avenue on the south side of the Planting strip appeared on Exhibit A of the aforementioned contract as two-way west of Bannock, until such time as it is dedicated to the City it may be changed to one-way at the option of New Englewood Company. Respectfully submitted, By Order of the City Planning and Zoning Commission. Gertrude G.

REPUBLIC NATIONAL BANK Off-Street Parking Requirements Mrs. Romans read the following letter to the Planning Commission: City Planning and Zoning Commission City of Englewood Englewood City Hall Englewood, Colorado Gentlemen: CASE #10-66 "July 15, 1966 Pursuant to section 22.5-5(e) of the 1963 Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance of the City of Englewood, we on behalf of Hampden Company respectfully request approval of the off- street parking which will be available to Republic National Bank of Englewood at a new site on the northwest corner of the intersection of Hampden Avenue and South Elati Street. The facts in support of our request are as follows: 1. Pursuant to a contract of sale dated May 20, 1964 between the City of Englewood and New Englewood Company, recorded in Book 1586, Page 569 of the records of Arapahoe County, Colorado, New Englewood Company agreed (a) to purchase certain lands from the City of Englewood and (b) after construction of improvements, to convey back to the City of Englewood some 2,000 to 4,000 parking spaces under terms where the property would be devoted to free public short- term parking purposes for at least 60 years. 2. New Englewood, Ltd., or the assignee of New Englewood Company, completed the pur- chase from the City of Englewood, subject to the reconveyance obligation. 3. Hampden Company has contracted to purchase from New Englewood, Ltd., out of the land it purchased from the City of Englewood, a small tract on the northwest corner of the inter- section of Hampden Avenue and South Elati Street. This tract, approximately 150 x 300 feet in size, will be used by Republic National Bank of Englewood for the construction of a bank having approximately 14,000 square feet of floor space. The contract of sale, dated December 10 , 1965, is recorded in the records of Arapahoe County, Colorado, at Book 1638, Page 366. 4. Under this contract, New Englewood, Ltd. and Hampden Company agree to execute at the time of closing an adjoining landowners agreement which, among other things, will provide (a) that a portion of the Hampden Company tract will be used for public parking, for drive- ways and the like; (b) that neither party will construct any barrier separating the tract from the shopping center area as a whole; (c) that ingress and egress to the premises from the rest of the shopping center area shall be maintained; (d) that the building and signs placed on the Hampden Company tract shall be harmonious with buildings placed on the rest cf the shopping center area; and (e) that the joint covenants shall run with the land for approximately 60 years. 5. The Hampden Company tract is located within a B-1 Business District Zone, which incorporates the off-street parking requirements described in the Supplementary Regulations of the 1963 Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance. The Supplementary Regulations at Section 22.5-5(a) (8) require one parking space for each 300 square feet of rent.able area in banks. Section 22.5-5(e) further provides: "Use of off-street parking by another building. No part o f an off-street parking space for any building or use shall be included as a part of an off-street parking space of another building or use, unless such uses do not conflict with each other and joint use is made by contract, recorded and approved by the Commission." 6. The customers, agents and employees of the Republic National Bank of Englewood, which will be located on the Hampden Company tract, will be entitled to the use in common with other members of the public of the 2,000 to 4,000 public parking spaces that will be made available by New Englewood, Ltd., in addition to the limited number of parking spaces available on tre Hampden Company tract which will probably not exceed 15. Based upon the provisions of the contracts described above, both of which are recorde~ we respectfully request the City Planning and Zoning Commission of the City of Englewood (~ to determine that the joint uses of the parking as provided and contemplated by these contracts do not conflict, (b) to determine that such joint use is made by contracts which are recorded, and (c) to approve this arrangement for off-street parking by Hampden Company as meeting the standards of the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance. Yours very truly, HOLME ROBERTS & OWEN By Richard G. Wohlgenant RGW:ks'' Discussion followed. The amount of parking that would be required of the bank under Section 22.5-5a(8) of the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance was considered. Mr. Wohlgenant had indicated in the letter that there would be approximately 15 parking spaces on the bank property, the remaining spaces required by the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance would be on the New Englewood, Ltd., site. Mr. Rice stated he felt the Commission should be provided with a certified copy of the contract between the Bank and New Englewood Company, rather than reference to a book and page number in the Court House. Further discussion ensued. The Commission felt there needed to be clarification of the employee parking as it might conflict with provisions for short-term parking in the People's Ordinance No. 1, Series of 1964, and that they would like to see the plans for the development of the bank property. I I I I I I Page 923 Rice moved: Touchton seconded: The Commission request the Republic National Bank to provide a notarized verification of the contract between the bank and New Englewood Company and a site plan of the bank property showing lot coverage, parking areas. The motion carried unanimously. IV. MASTER STREET PLAN. Revised copies o f the Master Street Plan were given to the members. Mrs. Romans stated the basic material is much the same as has been discussed by the Commission on previous occasions; however, the entire report has been updated and rewritten by Mr. Hammond. She stated that the City Attorney has said it is not necessary and probably not desirable to designate a one-way street pattern in the Mas t er Street Plan. Mrs. Romans asked Mr. Hammond to discuss the Plan. Mr. Hammond stated he had briefly described the major street categories -freeway, arterial and collector streets -in the Plan. These streets which are shown on the map which is con- tained in the report, coincide with the major streets as outlined by the DMA TS Committee in System 4B, which was considered by the Commission May 11, 1966, and May 18, 1966. The only exception is State Highway 70, which is -designated as a freeway in the revised Master Street Plan. Local streets, however, which are covered in the Plan, are not considered in the DMATS plans. Mr. Hammond and Mrs. Romans emphasized that the Plan should be amended or revised periodically. Mr. Hammond stated that some streets have been proposed to open large areas which now have no access. The one-way designation of streets was discussed. Mrs. Romans reviewed the one-way street pattern as it had been proposed. There were to have been three phases of the one-way designa- tion -Floyd Avenue was designated one-way westbound in Phase I ; Floyd was to be an led aci ss the KLZ Site in Phase II, and in Phase III, the Highway was to be designated one~way eastbound. This plan did not receive sufficient support from the Highway Department and was dropped. Inasmuch as the plan was limited to Phase I, it was felt by the staff that the one-way designa- tion of Floyd Avenue was improper, and it should revert to a two-way designation. It was the concensus of the Commission at the past several meetings, that Floyd should be a two-way street, at least to Bannock. From Bannock Street west, the portion of West Floyd Avenue which will carry traffic to New Englewood is a part of the New Englewood property, and the city cannot, until it is deeded to the city , place a designation upon that portion. Dis- cussion followed. It was the decision of the Commission that Floyd Avenue east of the New Englewood site wo uld have to conform to the pattern established by Mr. Von Frellick within the site in order to minimize problems of traffic flow at the Floyd-Bannock and Floyd-Broadway intersections. For this reason, at the present time, Floyd should be designated one-way west- bound east of Bannock at least to Logan Street, if Mr. Von Frellick's plans do not change. The Commission also approved the staff recommendation that projected plans be made to extend Floyd Avenue across Santa Fe . Members were asked to thoroughly review the Master Street Plan report as submitted to them this evening. The next meeting date was set as July 27, 1966, at which time this Master Stree t Plan will be discussed. Rice moved: Carlson seconded: The meeting be adjourned. The motion carried unanimously, and the meeting was declared adjourned at 9:35 P.M. Gertrude G.

Mrs. Romans stated a Public Hearing is required before Planning Commission by State Statut~ Mr. Carlson commented that he felt the printing of a map and a short notice should be sufficient for the publication prior to the hearing .
