The motion carried; the meeting adjourned at 9:55 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: August 10, 1966 SUBJECT: Improvement of Highway 70 from Broadway to Santa Fe RECOMMENDATION: The Planning Commission recommend to City Council th at the funds allocated in the 1966-1967 budget to the City of Englewood by the State Highway Department for the widening of State Highway 70 be u t ili z ed for the improvement of the Highway from Broadway to Santa Fe as had been originally planned. It is recognized that improvements are needed both at the Broadway- Highway 70 intersection and on Highway 70 west to Santa Fe in order to accommodate the increased traffic flow that will be generated by the expansion of the core area, and to provide adequate circulation; however, estimated costs of an interchange at Broadway and Highway 70 which have . been discussed by the Highway Department staff are so excessive it seems unwise to proceed with this phase of the project at this time without further planning and study. Every effort should be made to give the interchange at Broadway and Highway 70 top priority in the requests to the Highway Department for the 1967-1968 fiscal year. The motion carried unanimously. Respectfully submitted, By Order of the City Planning and Zoning Commission. Gertrude G.

ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION Regional Planning Commission CASE #12-66A June 15, 1966 Mr. Rice discussed the Regional Planning Commission projects ang procedures. He stated he felt the Articles of Association, as revised, would greatly benefit the Commission in their work. Discussion followed. Rice moved: Love seconded: After considerable study of the new Articles of Assocfution of the Regional Planning Commission, and recognizing the many advantages to the area possible under the strengthened Articles of Association, the Planning Commission recommend to the City Council that the revised Articles of Association of the Regional Planning Commission be adopted by the City Council on behalf of the City of Englewood, and that the City be an active member of the Regional Planning Commission. The motion carried unanimously. V. NEW ENGLEWOOD Mrs. Romans distributed copies of a letter from Mr. Davis, President of New Englewood. Copies of the latest plans of the shopping development were also distributed. It was noted that there have been changes in the location of those buildings north of the City Hall; they have been moved further north, and Mr. Von Frellick has stated to the Director that Girard Avenue will have a 60 ft. right-of-way. Discussion followed. Mr. Parkinson entered and was seated with the Commission. The over-all traffic pattern was considered. Mrs. Romans pointed out that opening Cherokee across Floyd was most feasible for efficient traffic circulation to the area north of Floyd and west of Bannock, and that it was her opinion that it is the responsibility of the City to provide proper traffic circulation throughout the City. Mr. Rice stated he was opposed to the opening of Cherokee across Floyd, as the contract with Von Frellick Associates clearly stated that South Fox would be the only north-south street through the 35 ft. planting strip. Discussion followed. The Commission members requested that receipt of the latest plans of New Englewood be acknowledged, and that Mr. Davis be made aware that the Commission might wish an opportunity to further discuss them with New Englewood officials. VI. MASTER STREET PLAN Mrs. Romans reviewed the recommended one-way street plan. This particular plan was first recommended to City Council by the Plannir:g Commission in 1959, and again on April 14, 1965. It was shortly thereafter approved in concept by City Council. The matter has since been discussed at several meetings to which Councilmen have been invited, and funds have been re- quested by the Planning Commission in the 1960, 1966 and 1967 budgets to implement the pattern. However, residents along portions of the one-way plan are of the impression that no firm decision has as yet been made. They have also understood that a street widening program is being considered on South Sherman Street. The fact that the one-way street system is now before City Council was emphasized and the Planning Commission has in deed, by their recom- mendations, reached a decision. It was also stated that plans have not been made by the City to widen South Sherman Street. Discussion followed. VII. PROPOSED CURB CUT ORDINANCE Mrs. Romans stated that Colorado Springs is adopting an Ordinance requiring curb cuts to be filled in within 90 days after the termination of use. She showed several photos of abandmed curb cuts existing within the City, and also photos of cuts which are too close to an inteP-. section. She stated she felt the adoption of a similar Ordinance by the City of Englewood had merit. Discussion followed. The Commission directed Mrs. Romans to investigate further the possibilities of drafting and adopting such an Ordinance. VIII. SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS REVISION Mrs. Romans stated the Subdivision Regulations are very much in need of revision, an~ sug- gested that possibly a committee could be appointed for this task. Discussion followed. It was suggested the membership of the Committee to study the Subdivision Regulations be: Citizen-member Tom Eitel; City Attorney Criswell; City Engineer Waggoner; and Planning Director Romans. --- - - - -- ----- - I I I I I I Page 929 IX.

The request must be submitted to Arapahoe County officials by September 15, 1966. Discussion followed.

Carlson, Touchton and Woods stated they would check their schedules for possible attendance. XI. DIRECTOR'S REPORT Mrs. Romans reported on her trip to Portland, Oregon, to attend the convention of the American Institute of Planners. She stated she had visited the Lloyd Center in Portland, a shopping center of 1,200,000 sq. ft. on 60 acres, and was most impressed. The developers of the center control the surrounding several blocks and have developed this with a Sheraton Hote~ senior citizens' homes, and similar uses.
