He plans to develop his property with one home, and access would be provided from the north on Emerson.

AYES: NAYS: Woods; Rice; Parkinson; Love; Carls:>n Touchton The motion carried. Mr. Touchton asked if the portion o f the street for which the vacation is requested is in use at the present time? Mrs. Romans replied that it was not; the street is dedicated to a 36 ft. width, but has not been improved and is not used. V. JULIA TEMPLE CENTER PARKING CASE #19-67 Mrs. Romans stated that the Julia Temple Center is contemplating new construction on their site, and have submitted to the Chief Building Inspector their proposed development plan. Thirty off-street parking spaces are indicated on this plan; the Chief Building Inspector, however, felt it should be referred to the Planning Commission for their study and considera - tion in regards to the amount of parking that would be required by this use. It was pointed I I I I I I Page 995 out that the patients cared for at the Julia Temple Center are the aged and mentally in- competent, and there are not as many visitors to the Center as there would be to a hospital or a nursing home. Discussion followed. Mrs. Romans reviewed the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance parking standards, and nursing or rest homes are not set forth; however, a hospital requires one space for each three beds. Further discussion followed. The Julia Temple Center now has a bed capacity of 75, and they are providing 30 parking stalls for employees and visitors. The proposed addition to the Center will add 70 beds. The total day staff that will be required will be 17; of these, it is estimated that 25% do not drive to work. Touchton moved: Rice seconded: The Planning Commission recommend to the Chief Building Inspector that the Planning Commission feels the Julia Temple Center does in deed meet parking standards set forth for this type of use, and that a building permit may be issued in accordance with Section 22.5-19 of the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance. The motion carried unanimously. VI. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PROGRAM. Mr. Dial, City Manager, and Mr. Mack, Assistant Manager, were present to disc~ss the Capital Improvements Program. Mr. Dial discussed his memorandum to the Planning Commission dated August 9, 1967, and stated there was a replacement page, which was given members by Mr. Mack. Mr. Dial pointed out that these items listed in the memo were items the various Department Heads felt were necessary to the function of his department, and that the estimates of cost had also been submitted by the Department Head. The Capital Improvement requests were discussed. Mr. Dial pointed out that the Park Re- placement Program is now under way, and will require an appropriation of $50,000 per year thru 1969 to achieve completion of this program. This program is not indicated on this list of Capital Improvements. Mr. Rice asked what funds had been accumulated toward the aerial fire truck and housing facilities to this date? Mr. Dial replied that $22,500 have been accumulated to date. Mr. Love questioned the maintenance of this truck, given at $33,662 per year, and asked how the City could possibly maintain a truck at this cost, when it has been so difficult to accomulate the $60,000 for the initial cost of the truck? Mr. Dial stated the cost was based on the man-power to adequately staff the truck for use. This would require an additional five men on the Department. Mr. Parkinson asked if there was a possibility of using some of the men presently on the Department staff, thereby saving some funds this way? Mr. Dial stated this was a possibility. Mr. Love stated he felt the maintenance and operation would still be extremely high. Further discussion ensued on the possibility of a joint fire station and operation in the southwestern portion of the City where Englewood, Denver, Littleton, and Bow Mar all need facilities. The problem of storm sewers for the City was discussed. Mr. Rice stated that this same problem is .under consideration by the Inter-County Regional Planning Commission. The pro- ject to cover the entire City could not be financed by the City alone, and Federal aid would be needed. This Federal aid would not be available until there has been a comprehensive study made and approval given to a storm sewer plan by ICRPC. Mr. Rice pointed out there must be adopted a storm sewer plan for the entire metropolitan area before approval can be given to any one segment of such plan. Mr. Dial discussed two of the primary problem areas in the City, one being at West Kenyon Avenue and South Santa Fe Lane, and the other being in Northeast Englewood at approximately Eastman and Franklin. Mr. Dial commented that Mr. Carey would be required to participate in the storm drainage program in the Northeast section if his rezoning request which is before the City Council is approved. Further discussion followed. The need for the Police and Emergency Operating Center was considered. The capital cost is listed as $180,000. It was asked if this particular item could be phased over a several year period? Mr. Dial stated he did not see how it could be phased over more than two steps, thus eliminating the "emergency operating center" in the initial step. This would reduce the capital cost to approximately $130,000, but this would have to be accomplished in one year. Further discussion followed. The Traffic and School signal programs were considered. Mr. Parkinson asked if the installa - tion of these traffic signals could be phased over a several year span and still work in with the Monitrol System? Mrs. Romans stated that these signals are on the fringe of the Core Area and are independent of the Monitrol Master System. Several of the signals would be lo- cated on State Highway 70. Financing and funds available were discussed. Mr. Dial stated there would be approximately $50,000 available from property taxes, which will go to the Park Program. The estimate available for next year is $250,000. Means of obtaining additional funds were considered. Mr. Dial stated the Council might want to consider expanding the sales tax to cover items now exempted from the City Tax; this would add approximately $100,000 to the City monies. Also, they might consider raising the sales tax to 2 % rather than the present 1 % and continue to exempt certain items. General obligation bonds to finance the capital improvements pro- gram were also considered. Discussion followed. Rice moved: Love seconded: The items be listed in the following order for priority in the 1968 Capital Improvements Program: 1. Aerial ladder truck 2. Paving Districts 3. Sidewalks 4. Signal Program (school & traffic) 5. Street Shop 6. Remodel Cannery buildings 7. Bridge on Lincoln and Dry Creek $37,500. $90,000. $10,000. $50,000. $27,000. $10,000. $24,000. The motion carried unanimously. Page 996 Parkinson moved: Love seconded: The meeting be adjourned. The motion carried and the meeting adjourned at 10:55 P.M. Gertrude G.

CITY OF ENGLEWOOD PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION August 23, 1967 The regular meeting of the City Planning and Zoning Commission was called to order by Chairman Carlson. Members present: Woods; Rice; Parkinson; Love; Carlson Romans, Ex-officio Members absent: Touchton II. APPROVAL OF MINUTES. Chairman Carlson stated there were minutes from July 5, 1967, August 9, 1967, and August 16, 1967, meetings to be considered for approval.

Tufts REZONING CASE #21-67 R-1-C to I-1 Mr. Garrett was present to discuss a contemplated rezoning request and development plans for the property at 1451 West Tufts Avenue. Mr. Garrett stated that he is interested in the light industrial zoning for the area, but questioned whether or not if the area were zoned for light industrial purposes, the street widths as set forth in the subdivision regulations of the City would have to be adhered to? He stated that there is 5.6 acres of usable land in this property; if a street 80 ft. wide through the center of the land were given, plus ihe remaining right-of~way to open West Stanford Avenue, he would lose at least an acre of land for street purposes. Mr. Touchton entered and took his place on the Commission. Further discussion on the street requirements ensued. Mr. Garrett stated he desired a narrower street with no permitted parking. He would propose to set buildings back from the property lines and provide parking in front of the buildings. He stated he was considering Hollywood type curb and gutter, with no definite curb cut, thus allowing vehicles access to the parking area at any point. Discussion followed. It was pointed out that the discussion to this point has been on "subdivision" and street layouts --not on the contemplated rezoning. Parkinson moved: Love seconded: The matter of the proposed development of the subject area be tabled for further consideration. The motion carried unanimously. Mr. Garrett asked if there was any possibility that a date could tentatively be set for his rezoning request, and withdrawn if he should decide he does not want to file the application? Discussion ensued. * Love moved: Rice seconded: Contingent upon the receipt of a zoning application and payment of the required fee by 12 Noon of August 28, 1967, a date .for public hearing on the request be set for September 20, 1967. The motion carried unanimously. IV. JOHN B. CARTWRIGHT 3200 South Bannock REZONING CASE #20-67 R-2-A to R-4 Mrs. Romans stated that Mr. Cartwright, who is handling the leasing of the Continental National Bank, has filed an application for rezoning of the east side of the 3200 block of South Bannock. He is requesting R-4 (Residential-Professional) zoning for the area that is presently zoned R-2-A (Two-family Residential). He is interested in developing some of the property that he presently owns in this block with parking lots for the tenants of the Continental National Bank. Discussion followed. I I I
